It has been known that there is a relationship between our
health and food. In this regard, the juice (lemon, orange, persimmon fruit,
melon) which contains the largest amount of pectin, modified pectin, soluble
fibre, citrus flavonoids, vitamin C, large amounts of vitamin A and lycopene
[4-6], antioxidants is the natural product with beneficial health properties.
In the previous study observed that the
modified pectin will be effective
against cancers of the breast, colon and pancreatic cancer, and melanoma.
For example, the inhibition of cancer cell proliferation (HT29 colon line) was
obtained from the sample of modified pectin by using 1 g to 1 L concentration.
From the nutritional point of view, persimmon fruit and
persimmon fruit’ juice contains large amounts of vitamin A and lycopene,
antioxidants, soluble fibre and pectins. Lycopene considerable input gives this
result such as a great antioxidant power that can act to protect cells from
oxidative stress produced by the action of free radicals. This cell
phenomenon is responsible for major cardiovascular diseases and certain
types of cancer and aging.
