Native fruit species of economic potential from the Brazilian Amazon.

ABSTRACT :

 

A brief account of geographic distribution, ecology, breeding, cultivation, postharvest handling and processing is given for 7 selected indigenous Amazonian fruit species (out of 76 species cited in the literature): Theobroma grandiflorum, Byrsonima crassifolia, Platonia esculenta, Eugenia stipitata, Spondias lutea [S. mombin], Genipa americana and Myrciaria dubia. These species are considered as having potential for increased economic importance through cultivation, which is already occurring with T. grandiflorum, or from more intensive extraction from natural stands. Taste peculiarities have long been a serious constraint for the widespread acceptance of many Amazonian fruits. Difficulty in cultivation is also a constraint for some species. On the other hand, a few lesser-known species, not considered in detail in this paper, may eventually become important fruit crops.
