What is it about?
Preparation techniques are important for optimizing the benefits of a natural material, including red dragon fruit. Sample preparation and extraction techniques are important for maintaining compounds in a plant sample and determining the physiological properties of the extracted compounds. In this study, we analyze the effect of different preparation techniques of red dragon fruit peels and flesh on the viability of normal human fibroblasts.

Why is it important?
Results showed that red dragon fruit peels reduce cell viability. Red dragon fruit flesh extracts caused no significant effect on the fibroblast viability. In conclusion, the fruit flesh extracts are relatively safer to normal cells than the peel extracts.
Perspectives
In my point of view, this research is interesting because it can explore the potential of red dragon fruit's peel and flesh. The peel in cancer research and the flesh in degenerative deseases research.
