botanical specification, pitaya, nutritive value, pharmacological aspects.

The pitaya (Hylocereus), which is cultivated all over the world and is the most economically significant fleshy fruit tree in the Cactaceae family, has drawn considerable interest due to the abundance of betalain in its fruits. Pitaya, also known as dragon fruit, is an exotic tropical fruit that provides a number of health benefits for people owing to its high nutritional value and bioactive constituents, which include potent antioxidants. For the treatment of ailments including diabetes, obesity, dyslipidemia, and cancer, extracts from the stems, blossoms, peels, and pulp of dragon fruit have a variety of protective biological actions against pathogenic microbes, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Additionally, dragon fruit extracts have hepatoprotective, cardiovascular, and prebiotic efficacy. Due to their high adaptability and endurance to a wide range of environmental circumstances, pitaya plantations can grow in Vietnam thanks to the country's tropical climate (e.g. salinity adaptation, favour light intensity, drought resistance, etc.). The dragon fruit is utilised both as an ornamental climber and as a fruit crop known as the Pitaya or Dragon fruit. It offers a wide range of nutritional characteristics, biological activity, and commercial value and has become a cost-effective commodity for the national economy. Although it originated in Central America, it is now grown all over the world, particularly in subtropical regions. It is a quickly expanding climbing plant that needs a vertical support pole to grow on before a ring falls like an umbrella.
