异枝番石榴（Agua flexuosa L.）f.）是一种亚马逊棕榈树，自然生长在被洪水淹没的土壤上，在秘鲁形成密集的聚集地，称为aguajales。它可以达到35 - 40米的高度。每棵树平均每年有8个花序，每个花序产生约900个果实。这种棕榈树正在驯化过程中。最近发现的一种侏儒型可以改进生产方法。果子果实为椭圆形的核果，被红色或暗红色的角膜覆盖。鳞片它长（5至7）厘米，直径（4至5）厘米。果肉中含有大量的β-胡萝卜素（260毫克）。100 g（-1）纸浆）。市场营销是为即将到来的水果而进行的。从自然环境中。当地消耗量约为150吨。月（-1），它可以是生的或加工的水果。为了满足这种水果的需求，每年必须砍伐大约24000棵棕榈树。讨论的. aguaje对这些地区的居民具有重大的社会和经济意义。它代表着国内和国际市场的巨大潜力。秘鲁亚马逊研究所正在开发该物种的农艺管理技术以及水果的生产和加工技术。还必须对自然条件下的aguaje生长和遗传多样性进行研究。
The aguaje ( Mauritia flexuosa L. f.) is an Amazonian palm which grows naturally on flooded soils, forming dense gatherings called aguajales in Peru. It can reach a height of 35 - 40 m. Each tree has an average of 8 inflorescences per year and each inflorescence produces about 900 fruits. This palm is in the domestication process. A dwarf form, recently discovered, could permit the improvement of the methods of production. The fruit. The fruit is an ellipsoid oval-shaped drupe, covered by red or dark red-coloured cornea. scales. It measures ( 5 to 7) cm long and ( 4 to 5) cm in diameter. The pulp has a high content of beta-carotene ( 260 mg . 100 g(-1) of pulp). Marketing is carried out for fruits coming. from the natural environment. There is a local consumption of approximately 150 t . month(-1) and it can be of raw or processed fruit. For this fruit's demand, it is necessary to cut down approximately 24 000 palms a year. Discussion. The. aguaje has big social and economical importance to these regions' inhabitants. It represents great potential for the national as well as the international market. The Research Institute of the Peruvian Amazon ( IIAP) is developing technologies for agronomical management of the species, and for production and processing of the fruit. Studies on aguaje growth and genetic diversity in the natural conditions also have to be carried out.
