Abstract

Because of its nutritionally dense and health-promoting chemical composition, dragon fruit is currently gaining significant prominence in India among all tropical and subtropical fruits. The fruit lime is native to Gujarat, India. The physical, chemical, and nutritional profiles of red and white dragon fruit grown along Peru’s central coast were studied in the current research. Here, the physicochemical makeup of dragon fruit, the chemical and nutritive qualities of lime, the thermal, chemical, and processing of juices were also discussed. The current study additionally evaluated the impact of temperature and storage conditions on the antioxidant and betalain content of juices. According to reviews, dragon fruit is a good source of phenols, vitamin C, and a variety of minerals. After reading through all of these reviews, it is clear that using dragon fruit to produce lime-flavored RTS beverages and extend their shelf lives is the most practical and convenient way to appeal to as many people as possible.
