Resveratrol, antioxidant found in fruits enhances oxidation of dietary fats and converts white fat into beige fat which burns lipids off as heat.
White Fat is Converted to Calorie-Burning Beige Fat When Body is Exposed to Cold

Du added that polyphenols in fruit, including resveratrol, increase gene expression that enhances the oxidation of dietary fats so the body won't be overloaded, noting they convert white fat into beige fat which burns lipids off as heat - helping to keep the body in balance and prevent obesity and metabolic dysfunction.
The researchers also showed that an enzyme called AMPK, which regulates the body's energy metabolism, stimulates this transition of white fat into beige fat.
