Abstract
Indian tropical fruits are abundant in seeds that can be sunflower, mustard, nigella, guava, papaya, mangosteen, honeydew, pomegranate, fennel, fenugreek, cumin, sweet orange, cucumber, jackfruit, mango, melons, and avocado. These items, for example, the seed piece, which comprises around 10-35% of the weight, offer high dietary benefit and helpful applications. The seeds of some fruits are examined for their functions and applications as sources of food value and bioactive phytochemical constituents, as well as their functional properties, medicinal, therapeutic, and nutritional applications. The seeds contain fundamental bioactive parts like alkaloids, carotenoids, flavonoids, glycosides, saponins, terpenoids, tannins, steroids and polyphenolic mixtures and that display magnificent calming, cancer prevention agent properties, anticancer, against diabetic, hostile to hyperlipidemic, against corpulence, neurological issues, cardiovascular, skin infections and ongoing sicknesses. They are packed with vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and remarkable physicochemical properties. However, extensive research can be carried out to ascertain the bioavailability, potency, and efficacy of the nutritional and bioactive components found in various seed varieties. The medicinal and functional potentials of these fruit seeds can be identified through extensive research using the parts of the seeds. The therapeutic applications and functional properties of seeds found in fruits, vegetables, and medicinal plants are discussed in detail in this review. This review discusses some edible seeds' medicinal and nutritional value, phytochemical composition, bioactive phytoconstituents, therapeutic activity, therapeutic applications and uses, proximate analysis, functional properties, analytical and spectroscopic methods, and human clinical trials.
