However, the components responsible for its characteristic fresh aroma have not been determined. ‘Kabuchii’ is used as a table fruit and also in the production of traditional sweets and juice. At present, the residues produced during the manufacturing process are underutilized. In the present study, we extracted the essential oil from ‘Kabuchii’ peel residues using different extraction methods and characterized its aromatic components by gas-chromatography/massspectrometry. We identified 70 aromatic components in the essential oil of ‘Kabuchii’, and found that different extraction methods gave oils with a similar composition. Our results suggest that the residues from citrus processing factories could be used for the manufacture of other products, e.g., aromatherapy, food, flavor, and cosmetic products. The results of present study provide data that could be used by the citrus industry to develop new ‘Kabuchii’ products.","PeriodicalId":118800,"journal":{"name":"Tropical agriculture and development","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130616858","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Preliminary experiments showed that pitaya’s PEPC required Mn2+ but not Mg2+, and exhibited maximum activity at pH 7.0, in contrast to the PEPCs of some other plants. Analyses of sap revealed that sucrose was the loading sugar in pitaya. In summer, the diurnal changes in the contents of organic acids and starch in pitaya were typical of starch-using CAM plants. In addition, no phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) activity was detected, and high levels of starch, but not of hexose, accumulated. These results indicate that pitaya belongs to the MEstarch type among the four kinds of CAM plants. In winter, the levels of these substances (including sucrose) decreased, and there were no clear CAM-type diurnal changes. In particular, we did not detect malate accumulation during the night, degradation of malate during the day, or starch accumulation during the day. This may have resulted from decreased enzyme activities and lack of C3 photosynthesis during the day. Thus, since pitaya displays a reduced capacity for CO2 fixation in winter, it cannot store nutrients during this period.","PeriodicalId":118800,"journal":{"name":"Tropical agriculture and development","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124838424","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We observed that suckers collected from mother palms at the near flowering and young trunk growth stages in a garden established in the 1970s did not show any significant difference in their vegetative growth characteristics and pith nutrient contents. Nitrogen (2.1-24.4 mg g-1) and potassium (3.6-17.6 mg g-1) contents in the pith of suckers collected at both growth stages of the mother palm were higher than the calcium (0.4-2.5 mg g-1), phosphorus (0.5-2.3 mg g-1) and magnesium (0.2-1.5 mg g-1) contents. Starch and total sugar contents ranged from 26.6 to 64.8 % and 4.4 to 12.9 % in the palms at the near flowering and young trunk growth stages, respectively. No significant differences between them were also observed in the survival rate and newly emerged vegetative organs after establishment for 2.5 months in the nursery, except for the number of newly emerged roots. Suckers from mother palms at the young trunk growth stage were able to show a high survival rate of 73.3 %, although this value was slightly lower than that of the suckers from mother palms approaching the flowering stage (83.3 %). Based on these results, it was concluded that suckers collected from young mother palms in a mature garden where harvest was frequently performed since new planting, could be used as planting materials in addition to those that emerged from mother palms at the near flowering stage.","PeriodicalId":118800,"journal":{"name":"Tropical agriculture and development","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126842496","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
