Analysis reveals diverse amino acids in indigenous fruits, suggesting their potential as functional foods with health benefits.

This research evaluates the nutritional significance of wild edible fruits from North-Eastern India through amino acid profiling.
High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) was used to analyze amino acid contents.
Five wild edible fruit species were profiled for free and total amino acid content.
Amino acids were quantified and results expressed in µg/100 mg of sample.
F. jangomas showed the highest total amino acid content at 1605.60 µg/100 mg.
V. foetidum also exhibited high amino acid content, particularly glutamic acid, lysine, and phenylalanine.
The presence of both essential and non-essential amino acids was noted across species.

Pillai et al. (2026) studied this question.
