Artocarpus altilis (Nirphanas / Breadfruit)
High-Resolution Fructification Macro
Konkan Coastal Cultivation Site
The Organicsio Advantage
Organicsio sources Artocarpus altilis exclusively from the mineral-rich laterite soils of the Konkan belt. Unlike generic wild-harvesting, our protocol ensures genetic separation from A. heterophyllus (Jackfruit) to guarantee a specific flavonoid profile. We employ HPTLC fingerprinting to verify the absence of heavy metals common in coastal aquifers and standardize for high starch-to-fiber ratios in fruit powder derivatives.
Botanical Morphology & Raw Material
Phytochemical Profile
Our analysis confirms a high concentration of geranyl dihydrochalcones and prenylated flavonoids, specifically Artocarpin and Cycloartocarpin. The fruit pulp is rich in resistant starch (Type II), while the leaf extracts demonstrate significant inhibition of 5-lipoxygenase, indicating potent anti-inflammatory potential without the side effects of steroidal drugs.
Commercial Applications
- Cosmeceuticals: Tyrosinase inhibition agents for skin brightening formulations (Artocarpin isolated).
- Functional Nutrition: Gluten-free, low-glycemic index flour for diabetic-friendly bakery formulations.
- Phytopharma: Investigational adjuvant for anti-arthritic topical gels.
