Abstract
The antioxidant properties of the following medicinal plants were studied, Hylocerus undatus (Dragon fruit), Actinidia deliciosa (Kiwi fruit), and Psidum guajava (Gauva fruit) pulps and peels were analyzed for total polyphenol, ascorbic acid, 1, 1-Diphenyl-2, Picryl-Hydrazyl, carotenoid, and reducing power. The highest concentration of ascorbic acid was found in Dragon and Kiwi fruit pulp. Carotenoid and polyphenol content were highest in Kiwi pulp, with a significant amount of ascorbic acid, carotenoid, and polyphenols recorded in Guava fruit pulp and peel. Based on the current findings, it is concluded that the indigenous Guava fruit is the main source of natural antioxidants and dietary polyphenols when compared to foreign coastally Kiwi and Dragon fruit.
