NUTRITIONAL PROFILING AND BIOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF PINEAPPLE, RAMBUTAN, AND GRAPES: A COMPARATIVE STUDY
Abstract
This study investigates the carbohydrate content, biochemical properties, and overall nutritional value of three tropical fruits: pineapple (Ananas comosus), rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum), and grapes (Vitis vinifera). Through a series of analytical tests, we quantified key macronutrients, including carbohydrates, and evaluated various biochemical compounds such as vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Pineapple was found to be rich in vitamin C and bromelain, contributing to its anti-inflammatory and digestive benefits. Rambutan exhibited high levels of vitamin C and iron, highlighting its potential in combating nutritional deficiencies. Grapes, known for their antioxidant properties, were rich in polyphenols and resveratrol, offering cardiovascular and anti-aging benefits. The comparative analysis underscores the unique nutritional profiles of each fruit and provides insights into their potential health benefits. This study aims to contribute to the understanding of tropical fruits' role in human nutrition and promote their incorporation into diverse dietary practices.
