Abstract
The edible fruits of two native species of Southeast Asia, Baccaurea sapida (Roxb.) Muell. Arg. and Flacourtia jangomas ( Lour.) Raeusch, were analyzed for sugars, amino acids and minerals. The values obtained (B. sapida and F. jangomas, based on dry weight) are: protein 5·5, 3·9%; vitamin C 178, 218 mg/100 g; fructose, α- and β-glucose and sucrose 21%, 21% total; Ca 169, 175; K 137, 158; P177, 147; Fe 100, 118; Mg 105, 57 mg/100 g. Concentrations of amino acids, Na, Mn, Cu and Zn are also reported. These fruits would be useful as supplements to a balanced diet.
