Abstract: Yellow passion fruit has conquered a significant position in the agribusiness of tropical fruits; therefore, farmers have been interested in expanding their groves, and technical information that guarantees the high yield of the farmings is needed. Aiming to observe factors related to the propagative material targeted at quality and maximization of the genetic potential, the objective of the study consisted in assessing germination and emergence of passion fruit seeds collected in three positions in the fruits and submitted to different methods of mucilage removal (aryl). The passion fruits were split in three parts: distal, medial and proximal and the contents of each part was divided in two. The content of each part of the fruit was submitted to mechanical and by fermentation methods for removal of aryl. It is concluded that the seed position in the fruit does not interferes with the germination. The aryl removal method by mechanical extraction affects the germination and seedling emergence.

Purpose: Elimination of infectious microorganisms that cause pulpal and periapical diseases through biomechanical preparation and irrigation is mandatory for the success of endodontic therapy. Although many irrigants were used before, a novel approach in the field of endodontics began with the advent of herbal extracts. Passion fruit is an exotic climber possessing many antimicrobial, antifungal and antioxidant properties that fulfil some desirable properties required for an ideal root canal irrigant. Considering these, the study was aimed to compare and assess the antimicrobial efficacy of different concentrations of Passion fruit extract with saline and NaOCl against E. Faecalis. Methods: 80 single rooted premolars following the inclusion and exclusion criteria were taken for the study and was divided randomly in to four groups namely Group A- 30% Passion fruit extract, Group B- 20% Passion fruit extract, Group C- 0.9% Normal saline, Group D- 5.25% Sodium hypochlorite. Before and after irrigation CFU were calculated after canal preparation and irrigation with test and control irrigants was done. All the groups were compared and the data’s were analysed statistically. Results: Group A 30% Passion fruit extract showed a comparable result with Group D- 5.25% Sodium hypochlorite and was statistically significant Conclusion: 20% and 30% Passion fruit extract was found effective in reducing the bacterial load and 30% Passion fruit extract was comparable with 5.25% Sodium hypochlorite

Yellow Passion Fruit

As the popularity of tropical fruits has been increasing consistently during the last few decades, nutritional and health-related data about these fruits have been gaining more and more interest. Therefore, we analyzed 35 samples of tropical fruits and vegetables with respect to folate content and vitamer distribution in this study. The fruits and vegetables were selected by their availability in German supermarkets and were grouped according to their plant family. All fruits and vegetables were lyophilized and analyzed by stable isotope dilution assay (SIDA) and liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The results vary from 7.82 ± 0.17 µg/100 g in the horned melon to 271 ± 3.64 µg/100 g in the yellow passion fruit. The yellow passion fruit is a good source for meeting the recommended requirements, as just 110 g are needed to cover the recommended daily intake of 300 µg folate for adults; however, longan fruits, okras, pete beans, papayas, mangos, jack fruits, and feijoas are also good sources of folates. In conclusion, the study gives a good overview of the total folate content in a broad range of tropical fruits and vegetables and shows that some of these fruits definitely have the potential to improve the supply of this critical vitamin.
