Abstract:
In this work, the basic properties, nutrient and active ingredients of fruit peel, pulp juice, seeds and core of Xianghei-0701 Kadsura coccinea fruit were investigated. The results showed that the peel was occupied the largest proportion (42.52%~47.75%) in the whole fruit, while pulp juice was followed and accounted for the proportion (35.23%~37.77%). The percentage of seed was the smallest proportion (7.65%~11.16%). However, the ash content (7.25%), protein content (11.24%) and fat content (22.20%) of seed were highest. In addition, many kinds of minerals, especially maganese and zinc, were found in seed. The content of unsaturated fatty acids in seeds was up to 74.78%, among which the content of C18:2 (linoleic acid) was up to 60.30%. The contents of free polyphenols (23.69 mg/g), binding phenols (6.90 mg/g), total polyphenols (30.59 mg/g) and total flavones (30.54 mg/g) were the highest in seeds. The research illustrated that Xianghei-0701 seeds were a healthy food raw material which should be paid special attention. The peel thickness was 1.11~2.59 mm. The alkaloid content (3.20 mg/g) and anthocyanin content (8.89 mg/g) of peel were high. Therefore, the peel could be used for developing function candied products. The fruit juice could be used for developing “special drinks”. The seeds could be developed in lipids and functional foods due to their high content of ash, protein, fat.
