Phalsa (Grewia asiatica L) fruit berry a promising functional food ingredient: A comprehensive review

Studies on canopy management practices in high density planting of guava (Psidium guajava Linn.) cv. Hisar safeda

Phalsa is an important berry fruit in Asia, but little is known of its postharvest characteristics and especially changes in fruit composition during storage. Investigations were made for nutritional and antioxidative enzymatic changes in the juice extracted from two different maturity stages (M1: pink to red or M2: dark red to purple) during low temperature storage for 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 days at 5 ± 1 °C and 65 ± 5% RH. The fruit showed significant gradual declines in ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), total phenolics (TPC), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), total carotenoids, anthocyanins, moisture%, crude protein, crude fiber and fat content and the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) during storage. However, the total soluble solids (TSS), pH, ash content, and the activity of catalase (CAT) and peroxidase (POD) increased significantly. The polynomial regression analysis indicated that these changes were either quadratic or linear; and the Pearson's correlation among the studied parameters was significant. More mature fruit had higher concentrations of TSS, ascorbic acid, TPC, TAC, total carotenoids and anthocyanins, more juice and less weight-loss compared with less mature fruit. Overall, significant nutritive functions and antioxidative enzymes were found in both maturity stages of phalsa fruit, which experienced significant changes during postharvest storage.

Bioactive Compounds and Health Benefits of Phalsa: An Underutilized Fruit

The experiments were conducted to study the effect of different levels of nitrogen and severity of pruning on growth, yield and quality of Phalsa (Grevia subinaequalis L.). The pruning level at 90 cm (P4) had significantly maximum number of canes (13.66), number of sprouted shoots/cane (29.29), number of fruiting/nodes/shoot (29.29), number of fruits/node (9.18) and number of fruits/bush (4327.28), respectively which ultimately leads to maximum fruit weight (0.59 g), fruit yield/bush (4.25 kg) and fruit yield/hectare (80.5 kg). Moreover, total soluble solids (16.17°Brix), acidity (2.86%) and total sugars (11.22) were also recorded high in light pruning (P4). Regardless of severity of pruning, application of nitrogen at 100 g/bush showed significantly maximum number of cane bush (11.08), number of sprouted shoots/cane (23.91), number of fruiting nodes/shoot (23.88), number of fruits/node (8.36), number of fruits/bush (6371), fruit weight/bush (0.579 g), fruit yield/bush (3.61 kg) and fruit yield (6080.8) whereas minimum in respect to all parameters were recorded in P1 level of pruning (ground level).
