Potential and Functional Benefits of Bioactive-rich Exotic Fruits in India: A Review

Résumé

Exotic fruits, renowned for their distinctive flavours, vibrant colours, and rich nutritional value, have become increasingly popular in the Indian retail market, reflecting a shift in consumer preferences and rising health consciousness. Recent studies indicate that the increasing trend is primarily due to the health benefits these fruits offer. Many bioactive molecules and natural phenolic compounds like anthocyanins, tannins, flavonoids and other polyphenolics are available in plenty in fruits. Exotic fruits such as persimmon, dragonfruit, longan, lutqua, jaboticaba, and durian are found to be exceptionally rich in these compounds and help improve heart health, immunity and digestive health. Additionally, they are valued for their high fibre content, anti-inflammatory properties, and ability to combat oxidative stress, all of which contribute to disease prevention. With the rising consumer demand for exotic fruits, incorporating them into daily diets has become not only a culinary trend but also a nutritional approach to tackle contemporary health issues. The review paper explores different exotic fruits rich in bioactive compounds and well-suited for cultivation in the Indian climate.
