Description Detailed data collected during 1952-54 on the chemical composition of passion fruit
juice (Passiflora edulis, Sims.) are presented and discussed. Figures are given for the distribution
of apparent and true ascorbic acid in different fruit components at different stages
of maturity and plant organs for the ascorbic acid and dehydroascorbic acid contents of
normal juice, and for the carotene content of juices extracted from passion fruits at different
stages of maturity.
Passion fruit juice is one of the most nutritious fruit juices, being rich in easily digestible
carbohydrates, ascorbic acid and carotene, a good source of nicotinic acid and riboflavin
and a fair source of mineral matter.
