| Abstract | Fruits are the sources of vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals, reported a wide range of health potential impacts; however, high natural sugar contents show an association between fruit intake and obesity (a risk factor of non-communicable diseases). This study aimed to determine the sugar profile of well-known geographical indication fruits in southern Thailand and provide recommended portion size of these fruits. Mangosteen, rambutan, longkong, pomelo, and jackfruit, collected from geometry areas, were determined for soluble sugars using direct method LC-MS/MS. Fructose was the most abundant sugar content of fruit samples, ranging between 0.8-30.6 g/100 g (edible part), followed by glucose (ranged between 2.2-23.9 g/100 g) and sucrose (ranged between 0.5-10.4 g/100 g). According to Online Thai Food Composition Database and food exchange, one serving size or one edible portion of each fruit contains 15 g of carbohydrate. The recommended portion size for edible portion is of 3-4 pieces or 85 g of mangosteen, 5-7 pieces or 90 g of rambutan, 2-4 pieces or 177 g of pomelo, 6-9 pieces or 109 g of longkong, and 3-5 pieces or 58 g of jackfruit. These data would be helpful in a health promotion campaign aimed at choosing and limiting the intake of fresh fruit in healthy people to prevent obesity and glycemic control among type 2 diabetes mellitus. |
