Research Progress on the Main Bioactive Components and Func-tional Properties of Dragon Fruit
Dragon fruit is a tropical fruit that is widely cultivated in tropical or subtropical regions around the world.A large number of studies have shown that the dragon fruit contains rich nutritional components and bioactive substances such as polysaccharides,polyphenols,and betaine,which have functional properties such as antioxidant,anti-inflammatory,and lipid-lowering.In this article,the research progress of nutrients and functional properties of dragon fruit in recent years was reviewed,and the research direction of the develop-ment of bioactive substances of dragon fruit in the future was discussed in detail.It is prospected to provide a reference basis for further research of dragon fruit.
