Abstract Kadsura coccinea (Lem.) is a woody wine plant with a peculiar fruit enriched in important health-promoting
compounds. The non-editable part of the fruit, i.e., the seed and peel, represents more than 60% of the fruit and is
considered a biowaste. This significantly restricts the development of the K. coccinea fruit industry. Clarifying the
metabolic components of the different fruit parts can help to improve the utilization rate and valorization of
K. coccinea. Herein, we evaluated K. coccinea fruit peel, pulp, and seed using widely-targeted metabolomics and
quantified a set of 736 bioactive compounds from 11 major metabolite classes. The most… More >
