Similar to previously mentioned dessert flavors like the Fresh Vanilla and Coconut Crumble, the Mango Peaches and Cream Hyde vape flavor offers a unique experience for vapers that aren’t fruit flavor enthusiasts. The Mango Peaches and Cream does have a great fruit base, but it is blended to perfection with a sweet cream flavor. The Mango Peaches and Cream Hyde vape flavor is available in the Hyde Mag and N-Bar, as well as older models like the Edge.This vape flavor is a top-seller among most disposable vape brands. It blends a handful of fruit flavors to provide a familiar candied fruit taste. This blend seems to mix berry, citrus, and melon flavors for a fantastic overall vape. Even though this vape is very sweet, it has faint citrus and mint flavors that keep it well balanced. You can find the Rainbow flavor in the Rainbow Hyde Mag, as well as the N-Bar, Rebel Pro and many other Hyde versions.

Ever since the release of the Juul mango pod, there are vapers that swear by a good mango (myself being one of them). This mango vape flavor by Hyde has everything you want in a solid mango disposable vape. It provides a nice sweetness, yet has that smooth mango flavoring that keeps the flavor from becoming too sweet. The Philippine Mango Hyde vape is available in the Rebel Pro, Mag, and other Hyde models.

The Hyde Tropical vape, previously known as Hyde Tropical Gummy, is a candied fruit blend that mixes sweet and sour flavors using a wide assortment of fruits. It is tough to pinpoint the exact flavorings used in this disposable vape, but it seems to mix pineapple, apple, melon and berry flavors for a fantastic all-day vape. You can find the Tropical Hyde flavor in the Tropical Hyde Rebel Pro, the Mag, and the N-Bar, as well as previous Hyde models. However, if you are looking for this sweet fruit mix in an older version, it will probably be labeled “Tropical Gummy”.

For the purposes of our testing, we used some of the newest Hyde vapes available. We chose flavors from the Hyde Rebel Pro, Hyde N-Bar, and Hyde Mag lines for this review. There are other popular flavors like Neon Rain that were not included in the following summary of top Hyde flavor options because it is not available in some of the latest Hyde vapes of 2022.

Most vapers are familiar with the Blue Razz Ice vape flavor. It is one of the most popular vape flavors and comes in almost every vape juice line and disposable vape line. If you are a fan of blue razz vapes, the Blue Razz Ice Hyde Mag vape and Rebel Pro provide a long-lasting disposable vape option for vapers looking for that fantastic mix of sweet blueberry, raspberry and mint. The Hyde vapes Blue Razz is made with more of a sweet, candied blue razz flavoring rather than an authentic fruit flavoring.

This popular Hyde vape flavor is a unique option for coconut lovers. While many vape companies make a watermelon and blue razz flavor, not many make a coconut vape flavor. This is probably because most others can’t replicate a coconut flavor like Hyde can. This incredible vape flavor mixes a spot-on coconut taste with a creamy dessert and the overall taste is smooth and flavorful.The Fresh Vanilla Hyde flavor is a fine option for vapers that are looking for a lighter flavor that does not have a sweet fruit taste. Most flavors that come in various Hyde disposable vape versions are a fruit mix, but not all vapers prefer a fruity vape. The Fresh Vanilla has a light, soft vanilla cream taste that makes it a smooth all-day vape that you won’t get sick of. The Fresh Vanilla flavor is available in the Fresh Vanilla Hyde Mag vape, as well as the Fresh Vanilla Hyde Pro. Both are long-lasting vapes that come prefilled with 10ml and 11ml of vape juice.

With its box style shape it has a lower profile than most big puff designed disposables, all while fitting comfortably in your hand. The I.D. has a slightly looser MTL draw that users wanting less air flow restriction will love while also delivering more flavor.

The Hyde Edge Recharge is a giant leap in disposables because now we can enjoy an incredible 10ml of e-liquid for up to 3,300 puffs and features adjustable airflow. Our ability to recharge the battery gives us a significantly longer life. This innovative design means the battery can be much smaller and the reservoir of e-liquid much larger. The result is a device that’s the same size as the original Hyde Edge that lasts almost twice as long.Hyde Edge Recharge Dragonfruit Lemonade flavor description coming soon! With a rechargeable battery, the Hyde Edge Recharge provides almost twice the life of the Hyde Edge and even comes with adjustable airflow.Convenience is the main advantage of disposable nicotine. They’re pretty small, as well, so they’re quite easy to bring and hide in your pocket. When you’re always on the move and have no time to pause and tinker with your vape pens, this might be a better option for you.When these Hyde nicotine disposables run out of juice, you don’t have to refill them or replace a pod. The amount of juice and nicotine depends on the variety you purchase. You don’t even have to charge them as they will last until after you’ve emptied them.If 2 mL is not enough for you, get the Duo Plus with twice as much power. The puff count totals 1,100 as opposed to the 400 to 500 of the original Duo.First from the series is Curve with 1.6 mL e-liquid, 50 mg nicotine, and 310 mAh battery. The flavor selection is fewer, but 14 still gives you a lot of fun options.

Curve S only has a slight difference over the original Curve. It has a 2 mL capacity and a 400 mAh battery. It also comes with menthol and tobacco flavors.

The Original looks good, but if you want fun, vibrant aesthetics, then the Color and Color Plus variants will have you sold. They also have the standard, menthol, and tobacco flavors.The Hyde Slim is the thinnest option, carrying only 1.3 mL vape juice. It has 50 mg nicotine and a 280 mAh battery, as well. The flavor options are still plenty, although it’s a bit taller than the original.What’s different about the Curve series is the shape. While other series come with curved edges, this one is full-on round. It can look smaller and more compact as a result.The “OG” has 1.8 mL vape juice, containing around 25 to 50 mg of nicotine. For reference, 25 mg of nicotine roughly equates to smoking one pack of cigarettes. It runs on a 380 mAh battery, which won’t run out before you finish the juice.

However, make sure you’re buying the right one for you by exploring all your options first. Read some reviews and recommendations before making a decision. If you need help, don’t hesitate to contact us today.

Vaping should be a fun experience for everyone. But, between the dependency on charging, refilling, maintenance, and so on, it can be quite a chore to sustain this habit. Disposables solve that problem so you can have all the fun without all those hassles.

The Original Plus is pretty much the same, except it’s bigger. It has 5 mL of e-liquid, 50 mg nicotine, and a bigger battery. One notable difference is that it has an upgraded airflow system. This makes for a smoother puff than ever.Curve Max is an even larger device with better battery life and more juice – 8 mL, to be exact. This makes this variant the biggest in the Hyde family. It also has the added feature, adjustable airflow. Hyde has around 20 flavors you can choose from. It shouldn’t be a problem for you to find your favorite, and trying them all out should be fun on your part, too. Hyde is all about making the vaping experience more fun, which is why we have the Duo series. It’s a 2-in-1 disposable, which means it has two flavors in one compact design. The selection is small for now, but it still likely has your favorites from Hyde.

Aside from being bigger than most options, it also uses upgraded airflow technology. It comes in standard Hyde flavors, so you have plenty to choose from.What makes Hyde stand out is the wide variety of disposables they offer. Aside from the various flavors, they also have different types. This can get confusing, so here’s a handy guide:

Making the switch allows you to take care of yourself. However, there’s still so much for you to learn. For instance, what type of e-liquid will give you the closest experience to smoking? What type of vape pen is right for you?

A Hyde disposable vape pen will include lots of things in its vapor fluid, not just nicotine. Everything else in it is harmless, however, and doesn’t present a danger to your health or require a warning label. Here’s what else you’ll be huffing with the nicotine if you’re using a Hyde vape:How much nicotine is in a Hyde vape exactly, however, what else is in it, and is it safe? Is the risk of addiction or of health issues greater with a Hyde disposable vape than with other vaping products? Let’s find out below.

As with all disposable vapes, the number of huffs will vary depending on how long and strongly you inhale. If you’re used to short and light huffs, a Hyde Retro Recharge disposable should be enough for around 4,000 huffs! If you’re instead more accustomed to slower and heavier puffs, you can expect about 2,000 to 3,000 huffs, but rarely less than 2,000.

That being said, while 5% is a high nicotine dosage, it’s not considered immediately hazardous for an adult’s health as long as you take your time with it and don’t huff the entirety of the vape at once.Still, the amount of nicotine in a Hyde vape you can expect to encounter is between 25 and 50 mg per 1.6 ml vapor juice – again, depending on the exact type of vape.

So, while a 5% nicotine vape is certainly something to be careful with – and never let your children come in contact with it – if you take your time with it, it isn’t something that should cause immediate concern. Still, if you have any health concerns, going for a lower nicotine dosage is advisable and you should always keep the potential long-term consequences of vaping in mind anyway.

The precise amount of nicotine in any vape always varies not just between the different types of vapes but from one individual vape to another. That’s because with quantities this small, 100% balance is nigh-impossible to achieve.

The disposable Hyde vape pen has been getting increasingly popular in recent days for various reasons. First and foremost Is that this device doesn’t really need recharging as the Hyde vape pens are meant as disposables – once the pod is empty you can just throw it away in the appropriate manner and not bother refilling the e-liquid, recharging the battery, or any of that fuss.

Of course, Hyde has different types of vape juice pens, each with its own specifications. A 5% Hyde disposable pen, for example, gives out about 400 puffs – potentially more with lighter inhaling.Hyde vapes are considered as safe as a strong cigarette would be. That’s to say – not really in the long run but safe enough for the here and now provided you don’t overdose, you’re not too young, you don’t have other health problems, and you’re not pregnant. As with any strong nicotine product, Hyde vapes can cause major reproductive harm and birth defects, so, pregnant people are strongly advised to take a break from being smokers for a while.

All prices and promotions are subject to change without notice and are not guaranteed. Prices stated do not include any sales, use or excise tax or any other tax, duty or charge which is now in effect or may be hereafter imposed by any Federal, State or other authority. The Hyde N-Bar is a Nord-style rechargeable device by Hyde, featuring a compact design and distinctive duck bill mouthpiece that’s easy to grip. Packed with up to 4,500 puffs, this is another leap forward by Hyde in terms of quality and reliability. Hyde N-Bar Dragon Fruit Lemonade flavor description coming soon! The Hyde N Bar Recharge features a Nord-style shape and design. Fans not only love the flavor and performance, but also the distinctive duck bill mouthpiece.

Research also shows that the extracts from stems, flowers, peels, and pulps of dragon fruit have a range of powerful natural antioxidants and prebiotic potential. It can help manage diabetes, obesity, hyperlipidaemia, and cancer. Readily available and packaged dragon fruits are widely available. Their availability is more than the actual fruit. However, fresh fruit is better for blood sugar control than packaged ones. Sometimes these drinks may not even contain the actual dragon fruit extract. Instead, they have added sugar and flavourings. Therefore, it is not suitable for diabetes and can spike blood sugar.

4. Poolsup, Nalinee et al. “Effect of dragon fruit on glycemic control in prediabetes and type 2 diabetes: A systematic review and meta-analysis.” PloS one vol. 12,9 e0184577. 8 Sep. 2017, doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0184577A. Every fruit contains some amount of natural sugar. According to the USDA, 100 grams of dragon fruit contains 9.75 grams of total sugar. One whole dragon fruit contains 7.31 g of sugar, and one cup has the highest, about 17.6 g. Nonetheless, dragon fruit has a low GI. Therefore, its sugar does not significantly impact blood sugar when you eat dragon fruit in moderation.The low GI between 48-52, high fibre, and low sugar content make dragon fruit good for diabetes. However, dragon fruit juice has a high sugar volume. Therefore, it does not have the same anti-diabetic benefits as eating whole dragon fruit.One serving of dragon fruit provides about 8-9 grams of sugar. It is less than many other tropical fruits. Besides, a low GI score of 48-52 is ideal for a diabetes management diet.

A. Those allergic to dragon fruit should avoid it. You should also be cautious of combining dragon fruit with blood sugar-lowering diabetes medications.

2. Data by the US Department of Agriculture. Data Type: Survey (FNDDS) | Food Category: Other fruits and fruit salads | FDC ID: 2344729 | Food Code: 63116010Studies show that a meal plan with the right amount of fibre can help lower type 2 diabetes risk. It is because fibre slows down sugar or carb absorption to keep blood sugar levels steady. Most fruits benefit you in one way or another, and so does dragon fruit. The best part of this tropical fruit is that it offers essential nutrients while being low in calories. The yellow dragon fruit is the sweetest and hardest to find of these varieties. The crunchy texture and sweet taste of dragon fruit make it a great addition to smoothies or acai bowls.Dragon fruit is a nutritious snack for those with diabetes. The natural sugars are curbed from causing any harm by the fibre in dragon fruit that slows down their absorption into the bloodstream.

The above benefits make dragon fruit a low-calorie and nutrient-dense fruit for diabetes. However, only dragon fruit juices are readily available in most countries.

A. No single food can cure a disease. However, some fruits can help prevent, manage, and reduce disease risk. For example, antioxidants and vitamin C can treat sunburn, dry skin and acne. It can also help lower blood sugar levels in diabetic patients. Dragon fruit also boosts immunity and bone health. Furthermore, it helps to prevent eye problems such as cataracts and macular degeneration.

A study says the betacyanin and antioxidant activity of dragon fruit have a glucose-lowering effect. In addition, there was a more significant blood glucose reduction with a higher dose of dragon fruit extract.

A. Eating one medium-sized dragon fruit or a cup of dragon fruit will not raise blood sugar levels. This fruit also has a low GI score. Furthermore, it is best to eat dragon fruit as a snack. Even so, people with diabetes cannot overeat it. Talk to your doctor to find a serving size suitable for your needs and condition.

1. Attar ŞH, Gündeşli MA, Urün I, et al. Nutritional Analysis of Red-Purple and White-Fleshed Pitaya (Hylocereus) Species. Molecules. 2022;27(3):808. Published 2022 Jan 26. doi:10.3390/molecules27030808A. Some animal studies suggest that dragon fruit may improve liver health. However, there are no concrete human clinical studies to prove the same. Still, you can drink unsweetened dragon fruit extract if you suffer from fatty liver.

However, these have varying sugar levels and calories, so people with diabetes should be mindful and opt for fresh, whole fruits. Moreover, the processing and preservation may also alter the glycemic index score of the dragon fruit. Dragon fruit has not yet been assigned an exact GI, but it typically ranges from 48-52, making it a low GI fruit. So, eating dragon fruit in moderation will not cause instant or unhealthy spikes. Instead, the blood sugar levels will rise slowly. It is an essential benefit for many people dealing with diabetes. A. No, dragon fruit is not high in uric acid. Instead, dragon fruit can help reduce the rate of uric acid in the blood. In addition, it is an anti-inflammatory fruit that prevents the side effects of too much uric acid. Hence, people with gout and arthritis eat dragon fruit to reduce the symptoms like joint irritation and inflammation.

Your food will affect your blood sugar level, and so will dragon fruit. However, dragon fruit will not cause a rapid sugar spike due to its low GI score and high fibre content. Dragon fruit’s fibre keeps your blood sugar levels steady. Besides that, it is naturally a low-calorie fruit. 5. Luu, Hai & Le, Truc-Linh & Huynh, Nga & Quintela-Alonso, Pablo. (2021). Dragon fruit: A review of health benefits and nutrients and its sustainable development under climate changes in Vietnam. Czech Journal of Food Sciences. 39. 10.17221/139/2020-CJFS. One of dragon fruit’s potential benefits for diabetes is the high vitamin C. It is essential for a robust immune system. Since people with diabetes often face compromised immune systems, having vitamin C-rich fruit is a good choice. In addition, the antioxidants beta-carotene and lycopene support eye health and fight inflammation.

While dragon fruit is a handy diabetes-friendly fruit option, you should still consume it in moderation. Talk to a nutritionist at HealthifyMe to know about the healthy portion size for you.,

A. Dragon fruit is low in calories and GI score, making it a perfect everyday snack. However, eat it once per day and not more than that. Either eat dragon fruit in the mid-morning or as an evening snack. Having said that, it is always better to choose different diabetic-friendly fruits than stick to only one option on a daily basis.Fresh, whole dragon fruit is much healthier than branded snack varieties. In its natural form, dragon fruit contains only 57 calories and 9.75 g of sugar per 100 g. However, the same sweetened, processed dragon fruit snacks contain 264 calories and 82.1 g of sugar. Therefore, people with diabetes should always buy whole dragon fruits to prevent blood sugar spikes.Today, Hylocereus undatus, or pitaya fruit with red skin, attracts attention all over the world due to its white and red flesh, sensory properties and economic importance. The results of this study showed that pitaya flesh (pulp) has many aromatic compounds. The fruits are also rich in phenolic compounds and offer high antioxidant capacity. Our results have shown that pitaya fruit is a good source of bioactive phytochemicals that can provide good health effects. Furthermore, volatiles can be identified depending on the fiber used during the extraction. The SPME method is a convenient and accurate sampling technology for qualitative and quantitative analysis of volatile compounds in pitaya fruits. This situation increases the importance of the consumption of pitaya fruit for human health. No such study has been conducted on pitaya species studied in this region to date. This study, which can shed light on future studies, is also important and has a distinct value in this respect.

These results also showed that the PDMS and PDMS/DVB could independently extract 15 and 14 volatile compounds, respectively (Table 4). Obenland et al. [73] detected nineteen aroma volatiles such as aldehydes, alcohols, ketones, hydrocarbons using Solid Phase Micro Extraction (SPME) in six Hylocereus cultivars (Cebra, Rosa, Lisa, San Ignacio, Mexicana, and Physical Graffiti) grown in California. They also found that aldehydes accounted for more than 90% of the total volatile amount. In another study, Quijano-Célis et al. [78] identified 121 volatiles such as alcohols, terpenes, paraffins, acids, esters, and ketones from H. megalanthus using the aroma extract dilution analysis method, and various other compounds using solvent extraction followed by concentration. They also performed aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA) to identify nine fragrance active compounds that could potentially affect pitaya flavor.In the present study, the contents of carbohydrates (sucrose, glucose, xylose, fructose, total sugar) in fruits of two pitaya species were measured. Data related to individual sugars and total sugars are shown in Table 1. There were significant differences in terms of sugar contents of experimental species in the study (Table 1). Among many phytochemical compounds found in pitaya fruits, the sugar composition affects the perceived fruit sweetness [34,51,59,63]. As seen from these results, the most predominant sugars in these two species were glucose and followed by fructose, and then xylose (Table 1). Concerning the sugar contents of the red-fleshed specie, glucose (7.52%) was found to be higher than the contents of fructose (3.70%) and xylose (0.03%). On the other hand, in the white-fleshed specie, glucose (5.22%) content was lower, but fructose was higher than in the red-fleshed specie. Glucose was found to be the dominant sugar in both species and high glucose value was detected in the red-fleshed specie. In addition, the total sugar contents of the red-fleshed specie (11.25%) had higher than white-fleshed one (10.24%). Jamilah et al. [64] previously reported that glucose content of red-fleshed pitaya was 4.15% and fructose content was 0.86%. In another study, Jeronimo et al. [26] stated that total sugar was detected as 5.92% in pitaya fruit flesh.

Principal component analysis (PCA) was performed to statistically reveal the effect of individual phenol compounds and sugar contents on red and white-fleshed pitaya (Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3, Figure 4, Figure 5, Figure 6, Figure 7 and Figure 8). In other words, as the outputs of the PCA analyses, biplot graphs enabled us to visualize the interrelations between variables and observations. Pitaya is one of the most preferred and produced tropical fruit species recently introduced to the Mediterrranean region in Turkey. Due to its nutritional fruits with high economic value, the popularity of pitaya increases steadily in Turkey as an alternative crop. No detailed nutritional analysis has been undertaken in Turkey so far on fruits of the pitaya species. In this study, we determined and compared some nutritional parameters in fruit flesh of two pitaya (dragon fruit) species (Hylocereus polyrhizus: Siyam and Hylocereus undatus: Vietnam Jaina) grown in the Adana province located in the eastern Mediterranean region in Turkey. The individual sugars, antioxidant activity, total phenolic content, phenolic compounds and volatiles were determined for the first time in Turkey on two pitaya species. The results showed that total phenol content and antioxidant capacity are notably higher in red-fleshed fruits than white-fleshed ones and the predominant phenolic compound in fruits of both species was quercetin. The total sugar content and most of the phenolic compounds in fruits of two pitaya species were similar. A total of 51 volatile compounds were detected by using two Solid Phase Micro Extraction (SPME) fibers, coupled with Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) techniques, and more volatile compounds were presented in the white-fleshed species. Total phenolic content (TPC) of the red-fleshed and white-fleshed pitaya species were 16.66 and 17.11 mg GAE/100 g FW (fresh weight). This study provides a first look at the biochemical comparison of red-fleshed and white-fleshed pitaya species introduced and cultivated in Turkey. The results also showed, for the first time, the biochemical content and the potential health benefit of Hylocereus grown in different agroecological conditions, providing important information for pitaya researchers and application perspective. The same authors implied that gallic acid was identified for the first time in pitaya fruits and the phenolic profiles generally differed between genotypes. Several flavonoids such as catechin, epicatechin, quercetin, myricetin, kaempferol, and rutin were detected and quantified in pitaya seeds by Adnan et al. [69]. According to their results, catechin (3.60
mg/g dw), quercetin (1.31 mg/g dw) and myricetin (0.63 mg/g dw) were found to be the major flavonoids, respectively. Tenore et al. [70] reported that red pitaya fruits contain gallic acid, pyrocatheunic, vanillic acid, caffeic acid, and p-coumaric acid. In another study, Lim et al. [11] reported that the p-coumaric acid, syringic acid, caffeic acid, vanillic acid, pyrocathehunic and gallic acid in flesh and peels of red pitaya fruits were 0.78 mg/100 g, 0.08 mg/100 g, 0.08 mg/100 g, 0.64 mg/100 g, 0.93 mg/100 g and 0.25 mg/100 g, respectively. Suleria et al. [56] reported higher content of quercetin, myricetin, kaempferol in pitaya than our results. Pitaya flesh (pulp) was also found to be abundant in phenolic acids while quercetin was dominantly detected. Previously, flavonoids including kaempferol and quercetin derivatives were detected and quantified in pitaya fruit peels as well [71,72].

Among the fruit quality characteristics, phenolic compounds, sugars, total phenol, antioxidant capacity and volatile compounds are the most important parameters [22,26,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64].A total of 39 volatile compounds and six chemical groups including the alcohols, terpenes, ketones, aldehydes, esters, acids and other compounds were identified (Table 3). Similarly, Wu et al. [74] and Wu et al. [75] identified a total of 84 and 49 volatile compounds in pitaya fruit by using DVB/CAR/PDMS fiber (Divinylbenzene/Carboxen/Polydimethylsiloxane; Gray). These compounds also mainly include aldehydes, esters, alkanes, ketones, terpenes and alcohols.

For the aldehydes, PC1 explained 50.25% of the total variance, PC2 explained 34.81% in peduncle samples. These two components can explain 85.06% of the total variance (Figure 5). Ald7-4-14 was found to be the highest in red-fleshed (R. Spme), and white-fleshed (B. Spme) had a similar trend. Aldehydes 1, 2, 5, 9 and 10 were the highest in red-fleshed (R. Spme) whereas the rest of the aldehyde were the highest in white-fleshed (B. Spme). Gallic acid, myricetin, caffeic acid, p-coumaric acid, ellagic acid, quercetin and kaempferol (Sigma-Aldrich), were used as phenolic standards. Gallic acid, caffeic acid, p-coumaric acid, ellagic acid, myricetin, quercetin and kaempferol were dissolved in methanol at a concentration of 1000 ppm samples were directly injected into the reverse phase chromatography column. Five dilute solutions from these stock solutions were used for calibration curves and calibration curves were obtained for caffeic acid y = 49,033.3x + 0, for ellagic acid y = 31,923x + 0, for quercetin y = 21,275x + 0 and for kaempferol y = 27,358.73x + 0, respectively. Recoveries were measured by extracting the recovered amounts of pure substances added to frozen pitaya samples before the experiment. Three replicates from each sample were used for HPLC analyses. All the samples and standards were injected three times. Mixed coating fibers, containing divinylbenzene (DVB) copolymers, templated resin (TPR) or carboxen (CAR) increase retention capacity. Thus, PDMS/DVB and CAR/DVB fibers can be more efficacious for the extraction of low molecular weight volatile compounds [76,77]. Although both PDMS/DVB and PDMS fibers could extract a similar number of volatile compounds, the detailed compounds differ greatly, 12 volatile compounds were extracted by both PDMS and PDMS/DVB fibers; these compounds are described in Table 4.Biplot graph (scores and loading plots) obtained from Principal Component Analysis for acids from volatile compounds in red-white pitaya. ac1: 2-Acetonyl-3-cyano-2,3-dimethylcyclobutane-1-carboxylic acid, ac2: acetic acid, ac3: anhydride acetic acid, ac4: caprylic acid, ac5: Carbamic acid, monoammonium salt, ac6: decanoic acid, ac7: dodecanoic acid, ac8: heptanoic acid, ac9: hexanoic acid, ac10: nonanoic acid, ac11: octanoic acid, ac12: pentadecanoic acid, ac13: tetradecanoic acid.

All authors have read and agreed to the published version of the manuscript.Jamilah et al. [64] reported 150.46 mg of phenolic compounds (betalains, gallic acid, and betacyanins) per 100 g dry weight in the Hylocereus species. Esquivel et al. [16] reported that gallic acid was observed in all the genotypes, with higher amounts in ‘Rosa’ and lowest in ‘Orejona’ pitaya varieties.
