Nutritional Quality Evaluation of Kadsura coccinea Fruit in Eastern Guizhou

Kadsura coccinea was a rare and precious plant with high nutritional and phamaceutical value. In this paper,safety assessment and nutritional analysis were conducted for this fruit. The results showed that,pesticide residues,heavy metals and biotoxins indexes all met the national standards. The nutrient composition of 'Kyoho’ Grape and 'Agate’ pomegranate were compared with this fruit. In Kadsura coccinea fruit pulp,the content of V_C was 159.96 mg/100 g. It also contained calcium,iron,zinc and other mineral elements,the content of selenium was as high as 3.05 μg/100 g. The total amount of amino acids was 1678.35 mg/100 g. In Kadsura coccinea fruit seed,the contents of polysaccharides,total polyphenols and flavones were high.The unsaturated fatty acids were accountd for 87.19% of total fatty acids,the relative contents of linoleic acid and linolenic acid were 70.78% and 7.62% respectively,both were higher than 'Kyoho’ Grape and 'Agate’ pomegranate,it would be a very good plant fatty acid. Therefore,the fruit was rich in nutrition and safe to eat,which laid a theoretical foundation for its development as a new food resource.
