Abstract
The study investigates comparative nutrient-chemo profiling of fruit genotypes (AM 02, AM 05, AM 06, AM 07, AM 08, AM 09, AM 10) from different locations of Tamil Nadu, India, to leaves (AM Leaf) of Soursop (Annona muricata) and fruits of Bullock's heart (Annona reticulata-AR 02) using various spectroscopic techniques. The concentration of annonacin is three times higher in AM Leaf than in AM and AR 02 fruits. AM Leaf is significantly rich in carbohydrates (27.1 %), proteins (18.88 %), crude fibers (32.51 %), phenols (1360.85 mg/100 g) and flavonoids (887.25 mg/100 g) along with annonacin (2283.77 mg/100 g). Among the fruits, AM 08 is rich in potassium (726.43 mg/100 g), AM 05 with Vitamin C (20.02 IU), and AR 02 in calcium (134.34 mg/100 g). GC-MS analysis identified 116 bioactives with a strong correlation among AM fruits (>90 %) followed by AR 02 and AM Leaf. PCA shows two distinct clusters of qualitative variation (51.2 %) in metabolites, with AM Leaf recording higher variation in metabolites than fruit genotypes. Seven (AM 02, AM 05), eight (AM 06 and AM Leaf), and nine (AM 07, AM 08, AM 09, AM 10, AR 02) metabolites show anti-cancer properties. These finding may help in developing supplementary nutraceutical products for cancer therapeutics.
