Nutritional Values:
The desiccated fruit has been analyzed for nutritional qualities; per 100 grams, it has:
Calories: 350; from fat, protein, carbohydrate as follows: Protein: 7.3 g Fat: 1.2 g Carbohydrate: 84 g Fiber: 4g
Minerals, mainly the following of interest: Ash: 3.0 g; Potassium: 1,050 mg Phosphorus: 168 mg Calcium: 130 mg Sodium: 12 mg Iron: 3.5 mg
Vitamins: about 0.5 g, mainly the following: Vitamin C: 300 mg Vitamin A: 125 mg Niacin: 2.8 mg Riboflavin: 0.2 mg Thiamine: 0.1 mg
The fruit without water is 84% sugar, which explains its very sweet taste.In a serving of 10 grams of desiccated fruit pulp (derived from about one-half ounce of edible dried fruit with the pit removed), the only significant nutrients for a modern diet would be 3.6~3.7 grams of protein and 30 mg of vitamin C.
The fruit contains triterpenes betulinic acid, aiphitolic acid, betulonic acid, oleanonic acid, maslinic acid, oleanolic acid and ursolic acid together with a number of isomeric b-coumaric acid esters of aiphitolic and maslinic acid1'2. Two alkaloids named zizyphusine and daechucyclopeptide- 1 were also isolated from the fruit.
It is interesting to note that the fruit yields relatively high amounts of cAMP and cGMP. Their contents in dry fruit were 100-500 nmol/g and 30-SO nmoL/g, respectively.
From the seed of Z. jujuba, three saponins jujubosides A and B, and ziziphin were isolated. Furthermore, flavone C-glycosides swertisin and spinosin as well as the acylated derivatives of spinosin sinapoyl-, feruloyl- and coumaroylspinosin were also found in the seed.
