An Antioxidant Potential and Cholesterol-Lowering Effects of Dragon Fruit Peel
Keywords:
Antioxidant, Dragon Fruit Peel, cholAbstract
Antioxidants are chemicals that may block or prevent the oxidation of readily oxidizable substrates, and their use is well recognized by the public. Antioxidant chemicals are present in different plant sections, including flowers, leaves, and fruit. One possible use for dragon fruit is as a natural antioxidant source. In addition to the flesh, the skin of the red dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus) may also be used. Vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin A, alkaloids, terpenoids, flavonoids, thiamine, niacin, pyridoxine, cobalamin, phenolic compounds, carotene, and phytoalbumin are among the active substances found in the peel of red dragon fruit that have antioxidant properties. Cholesterol often serves to facilitate cellular formation in the human body. By inhibiting the activity of the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase and the cholesterol ester transfer protein (CETP), anthocyanins found in red dragon fruit's skin help lower cholesterol levels. Red dragon fruit thus lowers total cholesterol levels. The method used in this article is a literature review. The result is peel of red dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus) has significant promise as a source of natural antioxidants that combat oxidative stress and serve as a cholesterol-lowering agent.
