Malnutrition and hunger is a serious global issue, however, wild fruits possess the potential of combatting it being rich in nutrients. (L.f.) DC., commonly known as "Patala" in Ayurvedic text, is a large wild tree bearing edible, yet, underutilized fruits consumed by the locals in Western parts of India and neighboring countries. The present study focuses on the nutritional profile of fruit along with quantification of bioactive constituents using RP-HPLC-PDA and evaluation of anti-oxidant and, anti-microbial activity. The fruit was found rich in nutritional composition having protein (2.41 % ± 0.007), fibre (3.46 % ± 0.02) and carbohydrate (90.19 % ± 1.73) with energy value of 368.2 ± 3.94 Kcal/100g. The elemental analysis of fruit resulted in macronutrients Ca, Mg and Na and micronutrients Fe, Mn, Zn, and Cu in amounts comparable to common marketed fruits. The RP-HPLC-PDA analysis revealed the presence of six phenolic compounds in all 3 extracts made from the fruit in which highest amount are present in hydro-alcoholic extract. All the extracts exhibited potent antioxidant activity evaluated through DPPH assay and oxygen radical absorbing capacity (ORAC), with highest activity in hydro-alcoholic extract. All the analyzed extracts also exhibited potent inhibition, against four human pathogens namely , , and . Therefore, it is evident from the study that the fruit of has immense potential as a nutraceutical supplement and may help in the management of nutrient deficiency and malnutrition among rural and tribal communities.
营养不良和饥饿是一个严重的全球问题，然而，野生水果富含营养，具有对抗营养不良的潜力。（L.f.）DC.，在阿育吠陀文献中通常被称为“Patala”，是一种大型野生树，结出可食用但未得到充分利用的果实，印度西部和邻国的当地人食用这种果实。本研究重点关注该水果的营养成分，同时使用反相高效液相色谱 - 光电二极管阵列检测器（RP - HPLC - PDA）对生物活性成分进行定量，并评估其抗氧化和抗菌活性。研究发现该水果营养成分丰富，含有蛋白质（2.41% ± 0.007）、纤维（3.46% ± 0.02）和碳水化合物（90.19% ± 1.73），能量值为368.2 ± 3.94千卡/100克。对该水果的元素分析得出其含有大量元素钙、镁和钠以及微量元素铁、锰、锌和铜，含量与常见市售水果相当。RP - HPLC - PDA分析表明，从该水果制成的所有3种提取物中均存在6种酚类化合物，其中水醇提取物中的含量最高。通过二苯基苦味酰基自由基（DPPH）测定法和氧自由基吸收能力（ORAC）评估，所有提取物均表现出强大的抗氧化活性，水醇提取物的活性最高。所有分析的提取物还对四种人类病原体即[此处四种病原体名称缺失]表现出强大的抑制作用。因此，从该研究中可以明显看出，[此处植物名称缺失]的果实作为营养补充剂具有巨大潜力，可能有助于农村和部落社区管理营养缺乏和营养不良问题。
