Common, Chamoru, and Scientific Names of Fruits and Vegetables Common, Chamoru, and Scientific Names of Fruits and Vegetables Victor T. Artero Frank J. Cruz Vincent M. Santos College of Natural & Applied Sciences University of Guam | Unibetsedåt Guahan Foreword Common name Chamoru name Botanical name Amaryllis Family Amaryllidaceae Garlic Åhos (a hos) his publication was developed to provide information on local Onion, bulb Siboyas Allium cepa Tand scientific names of fruits and vegetables grown on Guam. (se bojas) Be aware, however, notice is given that botanical (scientific) names Onion, green bunching Siboyas Chamoru Allium fistulosum of plants change periodically as taxonomic work refines plant (si bo jas Chamoru) groupings. Local names, with their pronunciation in parentheses, are based on the authors’ experience and are not necessarily the Arum Family Araceae official local names. Because Chamoru is principally a spoken Coco yam Sunen ‘Honolulu’ Xanthosoma voilaceum4 language, some of the names and spellings may vary among (White tuber taro) (su nin Honolulu) Giant dryland taro Piga’ Alocasia indica1 Chamoru speakers. For example, “Kamba” for cucumber, has (pee ga) evolved as a result of farmers’ common usage. Some local names Giant swamp taro Ba’ba’ Cyrtosperma edule2 vary between Guam and the Common wealth of the Northern (ba ba) Red taro Suni Colocasia esculenfa3 Mariana Islands. (su ni) Island history reveals that many fruits and vegetables were introduced during the Spanish era. As such, most of the local Banana Family Musaceae Banana, dessert-type Aga’5 Musa spp. and cultivars6 names are similar to Spanish-sounding names. In contrast, the (a ga) more recently introduced species have either English- or Asiatic- Cavendish Group sounding names, or in some instances, the English or Asiatic Giant Cavendish Lakatån Dwarf Cavendish Guåhu names are adopted as local names. Valerie Chikita (Taiwan7) Williams In this publication, names of the fruits and vegetables are Lady Finger Group grouped in their plant families. Both the family names and the Apple banana Manila common plant names under them are listed alphabetically. This Fiji Fiyi publication can also function as a reference guide for those Jamaican red practicing crop rotation by ensuring that the alternate crop is from Other Makåo a different family.

    Averrhoa bilimbi 1 Averrhoa bilimbi Averrhoa bilimbi Scientific classification Kingdom: Plantae (unranked): Angiosperms (unranked): Eudicots (unranked): Rosids Order: Oxalidales Family: Oxalidaceae Genus: Averrhoa Species: A. bilimbi Binomial name Averrhoa bilimbi L. Averrhoa bilimbi 2 Averrhoa bilimbi (commonly known as bilimbi, cucumber tree, or tree sorrel) is a fruit-bearing tree of the genus Averrhoa, family Oxalidaceae. It is a close relative of the carambola. Nomenclature The tree and fruit are known by different names in different languages.[1] They should not be confused with the carambola, which also share some of the same names despite being very different fruits. Balimbing in the Philippines actually refer to carambola and not bilimbi (which they call iba in Cebuano and kamias in Tagalog). Averrhoa bilimbi fruit Country Name English cucumber tree or tree sorrel India bilimbi,Irumban Puli,Chemmeen Puli,bimbul Sri Lanka Bilincha, bimbiri Dominican Republic Vinagrillo Philippines kamias,kalamias, or iba Malaysia belimbing asam, belimbing buloh, b'ling, or billing-billing Indonesia belimbing wuluh or belimbing sayur Thailand taling pling, or kaling pring Vietnam khế tàu Haiti blimblin Jamaica bimbling plum Cuba grosella china El Salvador & Nicaragua mimbro Costa Rica mimbro or tirigur Venezuela vinagrillo Surinam and Guyana birambi Argentina pepino de Indias France carambolier bilimbi or cornichon des Indes Seychelles bilenbi Averrhoa bilimbi 3 Distribution and habitat Possibly originating on the Moluccas, Indonesia, the species is cultivated or found semi-wild throughout Indonesia, The Philippines, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Myanmar (Burma) and Malaysia. It is common in other Southeast Asian countries. In India, where it is usually found in gardens, the bilimbi has gone wild in the warmest regions of the country.

S/N, Bacanga, São Luís – Maranhão-Brazil, CEP 65085-582. Accepted 18 June, 2013 Averrhoa carambola L., a species belonging to the Oxalidaceae family, is associated with neurological symptoms in individuals with renal diseases. The objective of this work was to accomplish a pre- clinical toxicological study of the hydroalcoholic extract (HE) from A. carambola leaves. Wistar rats and Swiss mice, both male and female, were used in these experiments. The rats were used in the acute toxicity assessment, with the extract administered at doses of 0.1 to 8.0 g/kg (oral route), and 0.5 to 3.0 g/kg (via intraperitoneal route). The mice received the extract in doses of 0.5 to 5.0 g/kg (via oral and intraperitoneal routes) and were observed for 14 days. Rats were also used in the sub-chronic toxicity evaluation, and divided into three groups (n=10): control group, HE 0.125 g/kg and HE 0.25 g/kg. These animals received HE for a 60 day period, at the end of which a macroscopic analysis of selected organs was performed with biochemical analysis of the blood.

  • A Review of the Antimicrobial Properties of Three Selected Underutilized Fruits of Malaysia
    Available online at www.ijpcr.com International Journal of Pharmaceutical and Clinical Research 2016; 8(9): 1278-1283 ISSN- 0975 1556 Review Article A Review of the Antimicrobial Properties of three Selected Underutilized Fruits of Malaysia Nurul ’Amirah Aziz Faculty of Applied Sciences, Universiti Teknologi MARA, 40450 Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia. Available Online:20th September, 2016 ABSTRACT Fruits have many important biological effects such as antioxidant, antitumor, antimutagenic and antimicrobial properties1. This advantage also applies to the Malaysian fruits including underutilized fruits. Underutilized fruits are fruits that are rarely eaten, unknown and unfamiliar because some of the species only exist at a certain region2. Antibiotic resistance can be minimized by using new compounds that are not based on the existing synthetic antimicrobial agents3. Thus, natural antimicrobials seem to be the most promising answer to many of the increasing concerns regarding antibiotic resistance and could yield better results than antimicrobials from the combinatorial chemistry and other synthetic procedures4. This review paper emphasizes the antimicrobial characteristics possessed by three underutilized fruits namely Phyllanthus acidus (P. acidus), Averrhoa bilimbi (A. bilimbi) and Passiflora edulis (P. edulis) so that they can be used as natural antibiotic drugs and natural preservatives in processed foods. These three fruits are commonly known as “cermai”, “belimbing buluh” and “markisa” respectively in Malaysia. Keywords: antimicrobial, Averrhoa bilimbi, Passiflora edulis, Phyllanthus acidus, underutilized fruits. INTRODUCTION underutilized fruits that are acidic in nature and have a Underutilized fruits are neither grown commercially on a stringent taste resulted in the fruits not being able to large scale nor traded widely but they are cultivated, traded penetrate the market if they are sold in a fresh form.

    STUDY ON BIOACTIVE COMPOUND DEGRADATION FROM BELIMBING BULUH (AVERRHOA BILIMBI) NORELLYSAH BINTI HASIM Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the degree of Bachelor of Chemical Engineering Faculty of Chemical & Natural Resources Engineering UNIVERSITI MALAYSIA PAHANG JULY 2014 ©NORELLYSAH BINTI HASIM (2014) III ABSTRACT Averrhoa bilimbi Linn. are type of family Oxalidaceae that had a common name such as bilimbi, belimbing buloh and balimbing. They have an excellent source of bioactive compounds such as flavonoid, phenolic and antioxidant included oxalic acid, vitamin C, tannins also minerals. A. bilimbi, has been widely used in traditional medicine since gives high good impact to humankind for cured disease such as cough, cold, itches, boils, rheumatism, syphilis, diabetes, whooping cough and hypertension. However, this active compound will reduce its value during undergo heating and drying process especially when exposed to high temperature. Since bioactive compounds are unstable when it exposed to heat, the product will become low in the nutritional value. Therefore, it very important to understand the thermal degradation of A.bilimbi to maintain the product quality and produce nutritional product that can used for human health, and hence this is the objective of this work. Extraction of A. bilimbi fruit were performed using 50% concentration methanol as a solvent. Then, the heat treatment was performed using a metal tube containing A. bilimbi extracts at various temperature and time exposure. Total flavonoids (TFC) and phenolic (TPC) content were analyses using colorimetric assay. Meanwhile, the free-radical scavenging (antioxidant) activity was measured using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay.
