Abstract
Stone fruits are emerging in the market in response to increased consumer desire for health-promoting foods. These fruits have an important role in mitigating nutritionally related diseases because of their high level of nutraceutical properties. They fulfill our nutritional requirements and enriching our healthy diet. These fruits are an abundant source of carbohydrates, lipids, organic acids, vitamins, minerals, carotenoids, phenolic, anthocyanins, and other secondary metabolites that enhance the defense-related systems in the body and help in curing different chronic diseases. This inherent potential is to be explored. The inherent level of nutrients may be affected by a number of preharvest factors including genotype, rootstock, canopy management, agronomic practices, and postharvest factors. There is an urgent need to adopt some good agricultural practices to maximize the quality and proportion. An integrated approach could reserve the quality of the fruits and their efficient use. This chapter presents the nutritional composition in different stone fruits.
