Cupuaçu (Theobroma grandiflorum): A Multifunctional Amazonian Fruit with Extensive Benefits

Food Research International
The Amazon region is known for its continental dimension, water abundance, and especially for the rich biodiversity that this biome hosts. Among the thousands of plant species in the Amazon, many represent food sources. Among these, cupuaçu (Theobroma grandiflorum (Willd.

The aromatic potential of amazonian fruits

2000
The determination of total aglycons released by enzymatic hydrolysis of cupuaçu, bacuri, and acerola glycosidic extracts indicates significant amounts of glycosidically bound volatile components in these fruits. Glucosides and rutinosides were the main glycoconjugates present as indicated by structural analysis of the saccharidic moieties.

Vertebrate responses to fruit production in Amazonian flooded and unflooded forests

Biodiversity and Conservation, 2007
We document patterns of fruit and vertebrate abundance within an extensive, virtually undisturbed mosaic of seasonally flooded (varzea and igapo) and unflooded (terra firme) forests of central Amazonia. Using phenological surveys and a standardised series of line-transect censuses we investigate the spatial and temporal patterns of immature and mature ...

Fruit–frugivore interactions in Amazonian seasonally flooded and unflooded forests

Journal of Tropical Ecology, 2014
Abstract:Constructing community fruit–frugivore networks has proved challenging in tropical forests to date, particularly in lowland Amazonia, which hosts the most diverse spectrum of frugivorous vertebrates and morphological fruit types worldwide. We assessed data on fruit resource production, frugivore assemblages and corresponding fruit–frugivore ...

An overview of the potential of select edible Amazonian fruits and their applications in dairy products

Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition
The Amazon forest produces a variety of fruits with strong biotechnological potential. However, their use in dairy products is restricted.This work aims to carry out a bibliographic survey on the technological applications of select edible Amazonian fruits and their residues in the elaboration and quality of dairy products.

Intraspecific Variation in the Fruiting of an Amazonian Timber Tree: Implications for Management

Biotropica, 2009
ABSTRACTInformation concerning the fruit production of timber species is important for the assessment of the effects of logging practices and for the improvement of harvesting techniques. We assessed the effects of stem diameter, crown illumination, and liana load on Chrysophyllum lucentifolium subsp.
