Expansion of açaí fruit and heart-of-palm production promotes hybridization and introgression in Euterpe palms. [PDF]

BMC Plant Biol
Palms of the genus Euterpe have multiple uses and hold great ecological and socioeconomic importance. Euterpe edulis is a key species in the Atlantic Forest, providing food for many animal species. The açaí palms, E. oleracea and E. precatoria, are essential in traditional Amazonian food and medicine. However, increasing demand for açaí fruit and heart-

Heart-of-palm byproduct for lactating cows [PDF]

Journal of Applied Animal Research, 2019
Research on the use of heart of palm by-product (HPB) as a feed for dairy cattle is needed since it is a low-cost alternative in addition avoiding environmental contamination. The objective of this study was to evaluate intake, digestibility, milk yield and composition from cows fed HPB. Sixteen Holstein cows were used.

Pupunha heart of palm residue silage as an option of roughage for ruminants

Boletim de Indústria Animal, 2021
It was aimed in this study to evaluate the ensiled pejibaye  residue in the feeding of ruminants as roughage. For the in vitro digestibility assay, a randomized block design was used, with four treatments (pejibaye residue without additives; pejibaye residue + banana residue; pejibaye residue + rice residue and pejibaye residue + citrus pulp), with ...

Peach palm growth and heart-of-palm yield responses to liming [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2004
The effects of liming rates on growth and heart-of-palm yield of peach palm plants (Bactris gasipaes Kunth) were studied in a two-year field experiment conducted in Pariquera-Açu, State of Sao Paulo, Brazil. Soils in this region are allic (sub group Ultic Haplorthox), with base saturation ranging from 15 to 26 % of the cation exchange capacity (CEC). A

Correlating physical and sensory texture measurements of hearts of palm in conserve [PDF]

Food Science and Technology, 2016
Abstract A study correlating the physical and sensory texture measurements of hearts of palm in conserve was carried out with a view to establishing an instrumental texture standard for this product. One hundred hearts of palm sticks in conserve from different brands, 50 of Acai and 50 of Pupunha, were cut in half cross wise. One of the halves was used
