Overview

This analysis reveals antioxidant and antibacterial properties of passiflora edulis in peels and pulps, suggesting potential for waste valorization and nutraceutical applications.

Key Points

  • Passiflora edulis peels showed significantly higher antioxidant activity and polyphenol content than pulps, promoting their use in functional foods.
  • Qualitative assays and quantitative analyses demonstrated variations in bioactive compound presence across ripening stages.
  • Intermediate and overripe passion fruit stages provided the best antioxidant and antibacterial effects, particularly against Gram-positive bacteria.
  • The findings emphasize the potential of passion fruit peel for sustainable waste management and development of nutraceutical ingredients.
