Abstract

The high quantities of beneficial components, particularly pectin and phenolic acids, as well as the nutritional content, convenience, and durability of dry fruits make them a popular snack. The unique physical, chemical, biological, and multifunctional capabilities of phenolic compounds are due to their basic structure, which is an scented ring with “one or more hydroxyl groups, along with various functional groups”. Unlike phenolic acids, stilbenes, and their derivatives, which are not considered flavonoids, anthocyanins and flavonols are. Because of their strong antioxidant activity, which inhibits oxidative damage, the phenolic acids found in plants have a practical use. Conservation becomes a serious issue as a result. The quick spoilage of climacteric fruits is a big problem, which is why there are a lot of processing technologies for turning pulp into juice, nectar, jam, and jellies.
