Guwahati: The northeast region of India is rich in native plant products, but many of them remain underutilized due to a lack of efficient postharvest processing techniques. One such fruit is Dillenia indica, commonly known as elephant apple. Found in several Indian states and other countries, this fruit has numerous health benefits, including antioxidant, antimicrobial, anticancer, antidiabetic, antidiarrheal, and immune-boosting properties.
