We conclude that exotic fruit byproducts represent a potential
source of natural food ingredients. However, no major exploitation of
these sources was appreciated in this context; there is a great
opportunity for agribusiness in this area. These fruits represent an
opportunity for local growers to gain access to special markets where
consumers lay emphasis on exotic character and the presence of
nutrients capable of preventing degenerative diseases. In addition, the
phytochemicals in these fruits could have greater application in the
food industry for increasing the stability and shelf life of food
products. We can consider that several studies on the treated topic
must be undertaken: toxicological analysis of bioactive extracts,
studies on the metabolism of bioactive compounds, their bioavailability
and bioaccessibility, and the sensorial and nutritional aspects
of the food products added with bioactive compounds from tropical
exotic fruits. In addition the analysis of the economic availability of
the extraction processes and marketing of natural bioactive extracts
must be contemplated. In this perspective, the integral exploitation of
the entire plant tissue could have economic benefits to producers and
a beneficial impact on the environment, leading to a greater diversity
of products directed mainly to human usage. These new products
represent a new class of functional foods that has not been completely
exploited and that could also contribute to different health benefits to
consumers.
