Nutritive Values of Passion Fruit (Passiflora Species) Seeds and Its Role in Human Health
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study focused on proximate composition and mineral content of edible seeds of three Passiflora species; P. edulis (Purple), P. quadrangularis and P. maliformis. The moisture content ranged 9.18±0.34% in P. edulis (Purple) to 11.09±0.40% in P. quadrangularis, and the ash content was higher in P. quadrangularis (2.35±0.13%). Among the Passiflora seeds, P. edulis (Purple) possessed higher protein, 12.71±0.10% and total dietary fiber, 43.76±0.64% with 72-74% major fiber fraction of insoluble dietary fiber. The lipid content of 29.65±0.41% also was higher in P. edulis (Purple) indicating that the seed was rich in oil content. Passiflora quadrangularis possessed a higher ash content which constitutes minerals such as sodium, 5.508±5.465 mg g-1 ; magnesium, 1.975±1.443 mg g-1 ; calcium, 2.363±3.269 mg g-1, and potassium, 2.425±2.500 mg g-1 that plays a prominent role in human health. Based on ordination with Principal component analyses (PCA), the Passiflora seeds properties when compared with maize, oats, flaxseed, sesame, soybean, almond, groundnut, sunflower and pumpkin, Passiflora plant seeds formed an independent group correlated with variables, i.e., fiber, sodium, and zinc. By-products from Passiflora seeds can be used for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical purposes.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
