Abstract

This study was designed to examine the phytochemicals, biological properties, and chemical composition of dragon fruit. In this experiment, eighteen male albino mice were divided into three groups, each group containing six rats. The first group served as a negative control and received a standard diet. A standard diet containing 2% dragon fruit powder was given to the second group, and a standard diet containing 4% dragon fruit powder was given to the third group. The results indicated that dragon fruit powder contained large amounts of fiber and carbohydrates in the tested samples. There is also a large amount of phenolic compounds and flavonoids in all samples examined. The results of the biological analysis confirmed that dragon fruit powder improves all biological analyses. In conclusion, eating dragon fruit pulp showed beneficial and reduced the risk of disease due to the increased nutritional value of the fruit and its antioxidant properties.
