ANALYSIS OF COMMON PEACH (PERSICA VULGARIS MILL.)

Abstract

As we know, the biochemical composition of the fruit of common peach (Persica vulgaris Mill.) and the physiological significance of the vitamin complex in it are analyzed from a scientific point of view. Within the framework of the study, the quantitative and qualitative indicators of vitamins A, C, E, group B vitamins, carotenoids, polyphenols and antioxidant active components in the peach were evaluated. These bioactive substances were considered from the point of view of activating the body's antioxidant defense system, supporting immunobiological reactions, regulating lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, as well as their effect on the regeneration process of epithelial tissues. The dietary value of the fruit, its use in metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular diseases and gastroenterological conditions were also summarized based on scientific literature. The results obtained confirm that peaches have a high biological value as a functional food. This article presents information on the biochemical and biological activity of common peach (Persica vulgaris Mill.) studied by scientists.
