Abstract

An Amazonian fruit with a high potential as a natural source of vitamin C: the camu-camu (Myrciaria dubia). Abstract-The plant. The camu-camu [Myrciaria dubia (H.B.K.) Mc. Vaugh] is a shrub from the Myrtaceae family. It grows naturally in floodable and swampy areas of the Amazonian basin. This plant is cultivated in Peru and Brazil with fruit yields ranging from (12 to 20) t × ha-1 × year-1. The fruit. The fruit, from (1 to 3) cm in diameter, is pink to dark purple; it is the highest known source of natural vitamin C, providing (850 to 5,000) mg × 100 g-1 edible portion. The market. In the last few years, both national and international demand for the camu-camu fruit has drastically increased for the production of health food or of natural vitamin C. The current fruit production is not sufficient to satisfy the market. Conclusion. M. dubia stands out amongst other Amazonian fruit species as having a high economic and social potential. Little information is available on its processing, showing the need for research in this area.

Résumé-La plante. Le camu-camu [Myrciaria dubia (H.B.K.) Mc. Vaugh] appartient à la famille des myrtacées. Cet arbuste pousse naturellement dans les zones inondables et maré-cageuses du bassin amazonien. Il est actuellement cultivé au Pérou et au Brésil avec des ren-dements compris entre (12 et 20) t × ha-1 × an-1. Le fruit. Le fruit du camu-camu est une baie de couleur rose à violet et de 1 à 3 cm de diamètre ; il présente des teneurs en vitamine C extrêmement élevées, comprises entre (850 et 5 000) mg × 100 g-1 de partie comestible. Le marché. La demande internationale pour le camu-camu a considérablement augmenté au cours de ces dernières années. Le fruit est essentiellement utilisé comme source naturelle de vitamine C et pour la formulation d'aliments diététiques. Néanmoins, la production ne par-vient pas à faire face à la demande. Conclusion. Parmi les fruits secondaires amazoniens, le camu-camu présente un potentiel socio-économique considérable. L'étude de voies de transformation du fruit respectueuses de sa qualité nutritionnelle est aujourd'hui nécessaire.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
