Dragon fruit is fibre-rich and helps to control blood sugar levels, preventing rapid increases that can be troublesome for those with diabetes. Consuming this fruit regularly can help patients with diabetes maintain a healthy blood sugar balance and lower their chance of developing new medical issues. A study published in MDPI in 2023 focused on the impact of adding dragon fruit peel powder to cookie dough. Results of the study witnessed an increase in the levels of antioxidant properties and reduced harmful substances like malondialdehyde in cookies. Ongoing research activities are revealing the importance of dragon fruit byproducts. This study signifies the importance of dragon fruit peel powder in improving the nutritional value of cookies without replacing taste or flavor. Growing research activities in applications of dragon fruit powder are fueling its demand in the coming years.
Growing research and development activities on dragon fruit powder are enhancing the global market with the latest technology of fruit conversion to powdered form. A recent study published in IOP Science focused on determining the possibility of making fruit powder using the red-fleshed dragon fruit's peel and pulp in combination with the spray drying technique. Results of the study noted the presence of a 15% maltodextrin concentration and a high betacyanin retention rate of 98.75% in the dragon fruit powder.
This study demonstrates the need for further research activities in building effective dragon fruit powder with higher nutritional content. Furthermore, COVID-19 fuelled the demand for higher nutritional fruits with a view to increasing immunity levels among the population. But the lockdown restricted people's access to the fruit and vegetable market. This gave consumers the opportunity to buy dragon fruit powder due to its ability to store for a longer duration compared to fresh fruits.
