Volatile flavour constituents of feijoa (Feijoa sellowiana)—analysis of fruit flesh

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 1990
AbstractThe volatile flavour fraction from the flesh of ripe feijoa fruit (Feijoa sellowiana Berg cv Mammoth) has been isolated by high vacuum steam distillation and subsequent liquid‐liquid extraction of the volatiles. Analysis by capillary GC and GC‐MS led to the identification of 15 constituents of which (Z)‐hex‐3‐enal and isopropyl benzoate are ...

Antibacterial activity in Actinidia chinensis, Feijoa sellowiana and Aberia caffra

International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents, 1997
The antibacterial activity of extracts from various parts of plants (leaves, fruits and stems) was studied in Actinidia chinensis, Feijoa sellowiana and Aberia caffra. These are tropical plants used for food. The fruits (subdivided into skin, pulp and seeds), leaves and stems were separately extracted and tested, in triplicate, against eight Gram ...

Chemical Composition of the Essential Oil from Feijoa (Feijoa sellowianaBerg.) Peel

Journal of Essential Oil Research, 2004
Abstract Essential oil from the peel of Feijoa sellowiana from Menton (France) was analyzed by GC/MS. Sixty-seven compounds representing more than 96.4% of the oil were identified. The main constituents were found to be β-caryophyllene (12%), ledene (9.6%), a-humulene (6.3%), β-elemene (4.9%) and 8-cadinene (4.8%).

Feijoa [ Acca sellowiana (O. Berg) Burret] pollination: A review

Scientia Horticulturae, 2017
Abstract Pollination is a key reproductive event conducive to fruit set in Feijoa ( Acca sellowiana ). Flowers are uniflorous, often forming clusters and hermaphrodite, bearing stamens and one elongated carpel. Stamens are numerous ranging from 60 to 120 per flower depending on cultivar. Flowers do not produce nectar.

Factors affecting pollinator effectiveness inFeijoa sellowiana

New Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, 1989
Abstract Feijoa sellowiana (Myrtaceae) was studied under cultivation in New Zealand, California, and Japan, to determine which floral visitors are the most effective pollinators. A large range of insects and birds visited feijoa flowers to collect pollen or feed on the sugary petals.
