Antioxidant properties, physico-chemical characteristics and proximate composition of five wild fruits viz., Garcinia pedunculata, Garcinia xanthochymus, Docynia indica, Rhus semialata and Averrhoa carambola grown in Manipur, India were presented in the current study. The order of the antioxidant activity and reducing power of the fruit samples was found as R. semialata > D. indica > G. xanthochymus > A. carambola > G. pedunculata. Good correlation coefficient (R(2) > 0.99) was found among the three methods applied to determine antioxidant activity. Total phenolic content was positively correlated (R(2) = 0.960) with the antioxidant activity however, total flavonoid content was not positively correlated with the antioxidant activity. Physico-chemical and proximate composition of these fruits is documented for the first time.
本研究展示了印度曼尼普尔邦生长的五种野生水果，即山竹子、黄果山竹子、印度杜英、盐肤木和杨桃的抗氧化特性、理化特性和近似成分。水果样品的抗氧化活性和还原能力顺序为：盐肤木＞印度杜英＞黄果山竹子＞杨桃＞山竹子。在用于测定抗氧化活性的三种方法之间发现了良好的相关系数（R²＞0.99）。总酚含量与抗氧化活性呈正相关（R² = 0.960），然而，总黄酮含量与抗氧化活性没有正相关。这些水果的理化特性和近似成分首次被记录。
