Bioactive Compounds of Longkong Fruit (Lansium domesticum Corr.)

  • Reference work entry
  • First Online:
Bioactive Compounds in Underutilized Fruits and Nuts

Part of the book series: Reference Series in Phytochemistry ((RSP))

Abstract

Longkong (L. domesticum) is an economically important tropical fruit that is widely grown in Southeast Asia, and it is very famous because of its bioactive compounds, including phenols, flavonoids, lipids, and triterpene glycosides. These compounds exhibited various biological functions, and longkong fruit pericarp and seeds demonstrated higher level of bioactivities as compared to the flesh. This chapter provides comprehensive and updated information on the biological functions and their association with the bioactive compounds in longkong fruit and its parts.
