Abstract

Ixora coccinea is an evergreen shrub bearing fruits that are extensively used in Indian traditional medicine. The phytoconstituents, bioactives, in vitro antioxidants, and anticancer activities of fruits for the development of a ready-to- serve beverage were investigated. The phytoconstituent screening revealed the total phenolics, flavonoids, and anthocyanin contents of 128 mg, 20.63 mg, and 30 mg/100 g FW, respectively. The high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) characterization revealed sinapic acid (21.96 mg) and myricetin (0.13 mg) as the major phenolics. The in vitro antioxidant activity of different solvent extracts was evaluated, wherein the methanol extract showed the highest activity. The fruit extract exhibited anticancer activity against LNCaP.FGC cells with an IC50 value of 34.09 mg/ml. Furthermore, a ready-to- serve beverage was developed with 15% fruit pulp having the highest sensory acceptability. The beverage retained total phenolic, flavonoid, and anthocyanin contents of 35.51 mg, 9.12 mg, and 3.51 mg/100 ml, respectively. Practical applications Bioactives and pigments from plant sources are widely used functional ingredients in the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. Ixora coccinea bioactive phenolics, flavonoids, and anthocyanins will compete with the current market of available metabolites used in large applications at the pilot level as a natural source. Moreover, the fruits as such could be considered as of great interest for their conservation and bio-prospecting and could be used in modern health foods because of their potential antioxidant activities and practical use for ready-to- eat food formulations.
