Emerging Application of Pluot in Nutraceutical and Cosmetic Formulation

Plumcots, pluots, and apriums are the products of successful backcrosses between plums and apricots. The agro-morphology, genotyping, bioactive compounds, and nutritional value of the genus Prunus, and specifically plums and apricots, are well-documented, according to a subject search on plums, apricots, and plumcots. However, only a small number of studies partially addressed the subject of the metabolomics of plum-apricot hybrids when search results for the years 2010–2023 were examined. Less than ten publications each year about plum-apricot hybrids were found in Scopus, 618 papers were located on Google Scholar (2010–2023), and only two results were found in PubMed for the same time using the same keywords, according to a database search. this demonstrates the enormous research potential and the necessity of offering a comprehensive chemical characterisation of the current hybrids of plum and apricot. The purpose of this review is to schematise the information that is currently available about plum-apricot hybrids (in relation to their parents), identify any gaps regarding their bioactive compounds, antioxidant activities, and health-promoting qualities, and suggest future directions for fruit hybrid characterisation. Antioxidants, vitamins A, C, and E, and natural fruit acids found in pluots help nourish, hydrate, and revitalise skin. The mask's goal is to offer a chemical-free skincare substitute that encourages healthier, smoother, and more radiant skin. The pluot face mask exhibits efficient moisturising and exfoliating qualities that are appropriate for different skin types thanks to the extraction and blending of natural substances. The results demonstrate the potential of pluot-based skincare products as advantageous and sustainable supplements to contemporary cosmetic procedures.
