  • Abstract:
  • The current study was carried out to assess the antioxidant property based on the amount of phenolic compounds in the leaf, stem, fruit pulp and fruit peel of Passiflora edulis. Free radicals can trigger various diseases, such as cancer, cardiovascular, arthritis, diabetes, and neurological disorders, anti-aging. Thus, antioxidants are needed to reduce these free radicals. Passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) is a healthy tropical fruit from the Passifloraceae family. The passion fruit is high in antioxidants, flavonoids, and antiaging compounds. Passiflora edulishas recently gained a lot of attention because it is a source of powerful antioxidants and may also have other health benefits. The leaf, stem, fruit pulp and fruit peel of the passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) has many phenolic compounds that indicate antioxidant capacity. This study aims to determine the total phenolic contents and total flavonoids contents in the leaf, stem, fruit pulp and fruit peel of the Passiflora edulis. Using leaf, stem, fruit pulp, and fruit peel phenolic compounds were determined. The fruit pulp had the highest concentration of total phenol and total flavonoids, while the least amount of flavonoids was determined from the stem of Passiflora edulis. Passion fruit is rich in vitamin C, which is an antioxidant that helps to protect the body from damage caused by free radicals. Vitamin C boosts the immune system by helping the body to absorb more iron from plant-based foods, and may improve the body’s ability to fight off infections in the body.
