Abstract
Horticultural crops make up a major portion of the diet of humans in many parts
of the world and play a significant role in human nutrition, especially as sources of
phytonutraceuticals: vitamins (A, C, B1, B6, B9 and E), minerals, dietary fiber and
phytochemicals. Carotenoids, polyphenols, vitamins and anthocyanins are the major
antioxidant pigments found in beetroot. Grapes are a natural sweetener and a major
source of antioxidants, phenolic and flavonoids. Turmeric is used for their medicinal
properties. Lemons are acidic in nature and serve as rich source of vitamin C, citric
acid, sugar, certain minerals like calcium and phosphorus.
