John West Passionfruit Pulp 840gm

Product Information

This golden drink takes the traditional Brazilian caipiroska and adds three tablespoons of passion fruit for a tart, tangy, and subtly sweet treat that’s perfect for enjoying poolside. Antidepressant potential of stems and leaves extracts has been certified in vivo. Oral administration of ethanol extracts of the aerial parts (equal to 10 and 2 g/kg of the plant materials) of P. edulis to mice for 7 day exhibited antidepressant-like effect via reduced immobility time in the forced swim and tail suspension tests in mice. Further evidence showed that the cycloartane triterpenoid cyclopassiflosides IX and XI at the dosage of 50 mg/kg possessed an antidepressant-like effect, which indicated that those cycloartane triterpenoids may be the main responsible bioactive compounds of P. edulis ( Wang et al., 2013). Oral administration of the aqueous (300 mg/kg), ethyl acetate (50 mg/kg), and butanol extracts (50 mg/kg) of P. edulis Sims fo edulis reduced the immobility time in the mice forced swimming test, which is similar to nortriptyline and fluoxetine. Particularly, ethyl acetate and butanol extract rich in flavonoids showed preferably the antidepressant effects, and that can be counteracted by p-chlorophenylalanine, α-methyl-DL-tyrosine chloride and sulpiride, suggesting this action is related exclusively to regulate serotonergic and dopaminergic transmission such as 5-HT, catecholamine and D 2 receptor ( Ayres et al., 2017). Anxiolytic-Like Activity The thing is, its rarity in more temperate climates, usually lands the exotic fruit in the clearance bin because most people have no idea what to do with it. I love passion fruit so much that when I do spot them for a reasonable price, I usually buy up everything the store has. This leaves me with the challenge of preserving the pulp so I can continue to enjoy the alluring fragrance, even when it’s not available in stores. I’ve tried infusing alcohol and vinegar with passion fruit pulp in the past, and while these are effective ways of preserving the fruit, they also limit its potential uses. Antioxidants play a vital role in keeping the body’s systems healthy. Scientists know that antioxidants improve blood flow, specifically to the brain and nervous system.

A small-scale 2017 study on humans found that a substance called piceatannol could improve metabolism after animal studies had found the same.Yes, they use frosting, but it’s just not as much. And in some cases, they’ll opt for whipped cream instead for a lighter texture. Wondering what to do with that leftover passion fruit curd you made for the cupcakes and cake recipes above? Preheat the oven to 320°F/ 160°C. Mist an 8 inch deep cake pan with cake release and line with baking paper. Sift the self raising flour into a mixing bowl. Add the sugar and stir to combine. To make the dressing, just combine extra virgin olive oil with apple cider vinegar, passionfruit pulp, dijon mustard, honey, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste. The anti-hypertensive activity of both yellow and purple passion fruit products has been proved in spontaneously hypertensive rats. Oral administration of P. edulis peel extract reduced hemodynamic parameters, decreased serum nitric oxide level ( Zibadia et al., 2007), and lowered blood pressure in spontaneously hypertensive rats ( Ichimura et al., 2006; Lewis et al., 2013). This could be attributed to the polyphenols such as luteolin, luteolin-6-C-glucoside, quercetin, edulilic acid, ascorbic acid, piceatannol ( Kinoshita et al., 2013) and anthocyanin, and so forth. which can mediate nitric oxide modulation and have potent vascular effects ( Ichimura et al., 2006; Lewis et al., 2013; Konta et al., 2014). However, the exact mechanisms and compounds responsible for this effect need further investigation. Hepatoprotective and Lung-Protective Activities
