Kinetics of drying Bactris gasipaes Kunth sub-products: comparison of mathematical models

Revista de la Facultad de Agronomía, Universidad del Zulia, 2021
The industrialization of the heart of palm (palm heart), obtained from the sprout of a palm known as pejibaye, chontaduro, or peach palm (Bactris gasipaes Kunth), generates two main products: the fruit and the heart of the stem. The stem produces a highly perishable residue due to its high humidity, making drying an alternative to increase its useful ...

DNA Barcoding for Minor Crops and Food Traceability

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
This outlook paper addresses the problem of the traceability of minor crops. These kinds of cultivations consist in a large number of plants locally distributed with a modest production in terms of cultivated acreage and quantity of final product. Because of globalization, the diffusion of minor crops is increasing due to their benefit for human health

Use of Plant Resources by Merosargus (Diptera, Stratiomyidae, Sarginae) Larvae

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
The genus Merosargus (Loew) has 142 described species. This great diversity in the genus could be explained by larvae resource‐use specialization. However, information on larval habitats is still very scarce. In Merosargus species, adult males defend oviposition sites, and this territorial behavior may lead to interspecific competition and make even ...

REPRODUCTIVE PHENOLOGY OF PEACH PALMS (Bactris gasipaes KUNTH, ARECACEAE) GROWING IN THE STATE OF SÃO PAULO

Revista do Instituto Florestal, 2021
Peach palm (Bactris gasipaes Kunth) was commercially introduced in São Paulo in the 1980s, as an alternative for heart-of-palm production, being currently the main species cultivated for this purpose. Phenological studies on fowering/fruiting, in addition to contributing to the breeding program, can provide subsidies for seed production technology. The
