Abstract:
Sapodilla (Manilkara zapota) from Sapotaceae family is highly nutritious fruit with various health benefits. It is grown in tropical wet to subtropical dry regions. Native to the Caribbean Central America and southern Mexico. They are now grown in Southeast Asia India Thailand and other countries with tropical climates among other places. Due to their strong astringency it should be consumed once fully ripe. Contain 73% Water main constituent of sapodilla followed by polyphenols and antioxidants vitamin A C folate niacin minerals ascorbic acid and sugar. The phytochemical profile of the sapodilla fruit has been linked to a number of health benefits that can be derived from its consumption. Bioactive compounds like phenolics cyanogenic glycosides and terpenoids can be found in the fruit of the sapodilla plant. Methyl chlorogenate 4-O-galloylchlorogenic acid methyl 4O-galloyl chlorogenate quercitrin dihydromyricetin my ricitrin gallic acid epicatechin catechin and gallo catechin are all components of the sapodilla extract. These bio active compounds are major source of its antioxidant capacity. Sapodilla extracts reduce the risk of colon and breast cancers and to treatindigestion diarrhea dysentery and hemorrhage. It possesses greater biological potential for its anti-diabetic antimicrobial antioxidant anti-inflammatory anti-aging anticancer and cardioprotective properties. The peel extracts of sapota demonstrated the highest radical scavengingpotential and high antioxidant activity when compared to the pulp extracts. By DPPH assay ofsapodilla extract total antioxidant activity (TAA) measurement observed was 2.1±0.2 (µg GA/gpuree). Sapodilla extract can also be used as an antioxidant in stored meat products 37.2% of TBARS value decreased has been noticed. Unripe chiku had an extremely high anti oxidant capacity that was not due to L-ascorbic acid but majorly due to its polyphenols. IC50 readings of sapodilla peel shown highest anti oxidant activity as compared to pulp. Hence its waste also has great potential to be used in pharmaceutical food and cosmetics industry.
