Chemical composition and nutritive value of peach palm (Bactris gasipaes Kunth) in rats

2005-07-01

Abstract excerpt

The peach palm (Bactris gasipaes Kunth) is the starchy fruit of a palm tree widely cultivated in Central and South America. The present study aimed at determining its chemical composition and its nutritive value in rats. The average chemical composition of 17 samples was as follows: 410 g kg(-1) water and, in g kg(-1) of dry matter (DM), 54 g crude protein, 114 g oil, 39 g neutral detergent fibre, 716 g starch, 21...
