Abstract

In tropical Asia, Durian (Durio zibethinus Murray), a seasonal fruit has got its origin in the Malay Peninsula and is known as the King of the tropical fruits. The health-protective effect of durian fruit is largely concerned with the composition of the antioxidants and phenolic compounds. Durian fruit, belonging to the genus Durio and family Bombacaceae is also well known for its antimicrobial effects. Among the fruits, Durian has got a plentiful n − 3 fatty acids and helps in cholesterol reduction. Almost every part of the fruit, which could otherwise be wasted, is laden with a lot of potential in various fields. In this chapter, the various positive health benefits are discussed. Moreover, different antioxidants and their methods of characterization are explored. Nonetheless, durian fruit cultivation, export, and nutritional composition are also revealed.
