Abstract

Hylocereus undatus, occasionally referred to as the dragon fruit or white-fleshed pitaya, is a rich in nutrients fruit appreciated because of its colorful look and health benefits. It is inexpensive in calories but packed with minerals like iron, magnesium, and calcium in addition to essential nutrients like vitamin C and B vitamins. Similarly rich in dietary fiber, particularly promotes gut wellness and improves digestion, is pitaya. It additionally contains antioxidants, such as phenolic compounds, flavonoids, and betalains, which help with scavenging free radicals and reducing the detrimental effects of oxidative stress on the human body. The substantial amount of betalains in Hylocereus undatus phytochemical composition is notable because it contributes to the plant's anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. There has been an association among these phytochemicals and a decreased likelihood of contracting long-term conditions such as diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular disease. Omega-3 fatty acids and omega-6 fatty acids, in particular, that reduce cholesterol levels while improving blood circulation, are plentiful in the fruit's seeds and are beneficial to heart wellness. The objective of this review is to highlight the nutritional profile, phytochemical and health benefits of Hylocereus undatus in detail.

Hylocereus Undatus(pitaya)的营养成分、植物化学成分和健康益处:全面综述
火龙果(Hylocereus undatus)有时也被称为火龙果或白肉番荔枝,是一种营养丰富的水果,因其多彩的外观和对健康的益处而备受青睐。火龙果热量低,但富含铁、镁、钙等矿物质以及维生素 C 和 B 族维生素等必需营养素。番木瓜同样富含膳食纤维,特别是能促进肠道健康和改善消化。此外,它还含有酚类化合物、类黄酮和甜菜红素等抗氧化剂,有助于清除自由基,减少氧化压力对人体的有害影响。Hylocereus undatus 植物化学成分中的大量甜菜苷值得注意,因为它有助于植物的抗炎和抗氧化特性。这些植物化学成分与降低罹患糖尿病、癌症和心血管疾病等长期疾病的可能性有关联。尤其是欧米伽-3 脂肪酸和欧米伽-6 脂肪酸,它们能降低胆固醇水平,同时改善血液循环。这篇综述的目的是详细介绍 Hylocereus undatus 的营养成分、植物化学成分和对健康的益处。
