| description | Jackfruits (Artocarpus heterophyllus) have been widely grown in the Southwest region of Vietnam for domestic and international consumption. However, a lack of information on the characteristics of jackfruit genotypes in the Mekong Delta provinces has existed. Thus, this study aimed to examine the morphological characteristics, physicochemical, nutritional composition, and antioxidative activities of four genotypes of jackfruits locally known as “Thai”, “To Nu”, “Nghe”, and “Ruot do”. The percentage of pulp and seed of “Thai” was 38.82±1.01% and 14.99±0.01%, respectively. The a* and b* values illustrated that the pulp of “Ruot do” possessed an orange-red color, while the remaining three jackfruit genotypes had a bright yellow. The fruit pulp of “Thai” contained high nutritional compositions including total sugars (22.54±0.5%), ash (1.00%), dietary fiber (3.33±0.10%), and protein (1.75±0.05%), but had higher moisture content and lower total soluble solids than those of “Nghe”, “Ruot do”, and “To Nu”. Both “Thai” and “Ruot do” contained high amounts of minerals (calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus) and vitamins (A, C, B1, and B2). ''Nghe'' and ''To nu'' contained the highest amount of total phenolic content and total flavonoid content, which were 6.91±0.65 mg GAE/g and 30.45±3.75 mg QE/100g, respectively. “Nghe” also showed the highest antioxidant activities in terms of IC50 of DPPH and FRAP (48.74±0.63 µg/mL and 48.70±0.83 µg/mL, respectively). This information is essential for selecting the proper jackfruit genotype used in food products. |
