The amazing native Brazilian fruits

Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition, 2023
A number of native Brazilian plant species are under exploited by the scientific community, despite the country's precious biodiversity. The vast majority of native Brazilian fruits (NBF) is source of compounds that provide many health benefits and can potentially be used to prevent diseases and formulate high-added value products.

Composition of native American fruits in the Pacific Northwest

Journal of the American Dietetic Association, 1982
Thirteen species of native fruits eaten by Pacific Northwest Indians were analyzed for proximate composition, calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, and ascorbic acid content. To determine relative nutrient contributions of these fruits to the diet, these data were combined with anthropological data, and a comparison with the RDA was made. The fruits analyzed

Native Australian fruits — a novel source of antioxidants for food

Innovative Food Science & Emerging Technologies, 2007
Twelve native Australian fruits, finger lime (red and yellow), riberry, brush cherry, Cedar Bay cherry, muntries, Illawarra plum, Burdekin plum, Davidson's plum, Kakadu plum, Molucca raspberry and Tasmanian Pepper, were investigated for their antioxidant capacity and presence of phenolic compounds, anthocyanins and ascorbic acid. The radical scavenging

Australian Native Fruits and their Products and Preservation

2023
Australia is home to thousands of species of unique plant life, many of which have long been appreciated by First Nations Australians and used for food, fibre, and medicine. Having evolved in Australia, they are inherently well-adapted to its droughts, floods, and specific climate and soil.

Fruit-derived phenolic compounds and pancreatic cancer: Perspectives from Australian native fruits

Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2014
Pancreatic cancer is a devastating cancer that presents late, is rapidly progressive and has current therapeutics with only limited efficacy. Bioactive compounds are ubiquitously present in fruits and numerous studies in vitro are addressing the activity of these compounds against pancreatic cancer, thus studies of specific bioactive compounds could ...

Organic Acid Composition of Native Black Mulberry Fruit

Chemistry of Natural Compounds, 2004
Using HPLC, organic acids from the fruit of black mulberry (Morus nigra L., Moraceae) were quantified. Malic acid was predominant with a range of 35.4-198.5 mg/g. Citric acid was the second in abundance, with a range of 5.5-23.4 mg/g, followed by tartaric, oxalic, and fumaric with an average of 4.16, 0.62, and 0.019, respectively.

Non‐native fruit trees facilitate colonization of native forest on abandoned farmland

Restoration Ecology, 2016
AbstractEcological restoration of abandoned, formerly forested farmland can improve the delivery of ecosystem services and benefit biodiversity conservation. Restoration programs can involve removing isolated, non‐native trees planted by farmers for fruit or wood.

Breeding Rosa taxa native to the Carpathian Basin for fruit purposes — fruit quality

Acta Agronomica Hungarica, 2010
The aim of dogrose breeding for fruit purposes is to select genotypes suitable for cultivation and to produce new genotypes by crossing. Physical and chemical analyses, prospective genotypes have been developed from R. inodora , R. corymbifera, R. rubiginosa and R.

Characterization of native and yeast-expressed tomato fruit fructokinase enzymes

Phytochemistry, 2001
Three fructokinase isozymes (FKI, FKII, FKIII) were separated from both immature and ripe tomato fruit pericarp. All three isozymes were specific for fructose with undetectable activity towards glucose or mannose. The three isozymes could be distinguished from one another with respect to response to fructose, Mg and nucleotide donor concentrations and ...
