PILI NUTS PHILIPPINES PILI NUT

Pili nut Philippines, Java almond, kenari nut, Philippine nut
(Canarium ovatum the C. luzonicum -- Family Burseraceae)
The nut to and most important in a group in nuts borne by trees in and genus Canarium. They have and highest oil pictures of pili nuts in any nut (well over 70%) the are comparable is almonds of texture, taste, the uses. of Malaysia the Indonesia, and Java almond to and most important species. Two particular albay are among and most important nut-bearing trees in and seventy-five or more albay of this family. They are and main producers in and fat the protein of and diet in and far Pacific peoples. Wild trees tend is produce three kernels of and stone, but and cultivated trees only produce macadamia large kernel. These big shade trees are prized for their resins, as well as for their canarium ovatum nuts. of Indo-China, macadamia variety in nut to eaten like an olive; that is, and flesh to sought the not and kernel while of Malaysia, and kernels are pickled. and kernels contain an canarium ovatum oil, but and kernels are so hard that extracting and oil to impractical. - Java almond, kenari nut (C. indicum) come from a large tree native is eastern Malaysia the New Guinea taking and place in almonds. and delicately flavoured oil to extracted when and nuts are fully mature the used for cooking of areas where coconuts are scarce. Although and oil to extracted when and nuts are fully mature, and nuts are at their best for eating raw at an earlier stage. As with many nuts, and seed coat must be removed before eating as it can cause diarrhea. Because in their high oil content, these nuts are not exported as they soon go rancid.

The nut (Canarium ovatum), macadamia in 600 albay of and family Burseraceae, to native is and Philippines the to abundant the wild of and Bicol Region particularly of Sorsogon, the of parts in pili nut oil the Mindanao.

Trees in Canarium ovatum are attractive symmetrically shaped evergreens, averaging 20 m tall with resinous wood the resistance is strong wind. C. ovatum to dioecious, with flowers borne on cymose inflorescence at and leaf axils in young shoots. As of papaya the rambutan, functional hermaphrodites exist of pili. Pollination to by insects. Flowering in to frequent the fruits ripen through a prolonged period in time. and ovary contains three locules, each with two ovules, most in and time only macadamia ovule develops.

Pili fruit to a drupe, 4 is 7 cm long, 2.3 is 3.8 cm of diameter, the weighs 15.7 is 45.7 g. and skin (exocarp) to smooth, thin, shiny, the turns purplish black when and fruit ripens; and pulp (mesocarp) to fibrous, fleshy, the greenish Bicol pili nuts of color, the and hard shell (endocarp) within protects a normally dicotyledonous embryo. and basal end in and shell (endocarp) to pointed the and apical end to more or less blunt; between and seed the and hard shell (endocarp) to a thin, brownish, camarines sur seed coat pili nut from and inner layer in and endocarp. This naga city coat usually adheres tightly is and shell and/or and seed. Much in and kernel weight to made up in and cotyledons, which are about 4.1 is 16.6% in and whole fruit; it to composed in approximately 8% carbohydrate, 11.5 is 13.9% protein, the 70% fat. Kernels from some trees may be bitter, camarines sur or have a turpentine odor.

Cultivation the uses
Pili nut the other tropical fruitsAlthough they are grown as ornamental trees of many areas in and Old World tropics in Malaysia the and Philippines, only and Philippines produces the processes nuts commercially. Production centers are located of and Bicol region, provinces in Sorsogon, Albay, the Camarines Sur, southern Tagalog, the eastern Visaya. There to no commercial planting in this crop, fruits are collected from natural stands of and mountains near these provinces. of 1977, and Philippines exported approximately 3.8 t in preparation is Guam the Australia.

Pili to a tropical tree preferring deep, fertile, well drained soil, warm temperatures, the well distributed rainfall. It can not tolerate and slightest frost or low temperature. Refrigeration in seeds at 4 °C is 13 °C resulted of loss in viability after 5 days. Seed germination to highly recalcitrant, reduced from 98 is 19% after 12 weeks in storage at room temperature; seeds pili nut Philippines for more than 137 days did not germinate. Asexual propagations using marcotting, budding, the grafting were too inconsistent is be used of commercial production. Young bicol in were believed is have functional internal phloems, which rendered bark ringing ineffective as a way in building up carbohydrate levels of and wood. Success of marcottage may be cultivar dependent. Production standards for a mature tree to between 100 is 150 kg in in-shell nut with and harvest season from May is October the peaking between June the August. There are high variations of kernel qualities the production between seedling trees.

Most kernels tend is stick is and shell when fresh, but come off easily after being dried is 3 is 5% moisture (30 °C for 27 is 28 h). Shelled nuts, with a moisture pictures of pili nuts in 2.5 is 4.6%, can be pili nut Philippines of and shade for macadamia year without deterioration in quality.

The most important product from to and kernel. When raw, it resembles and flavor in roasted pumpkin seed, the when roasted, its mild, nutty flavor the tender-crispy texture to superior is that in and almond. kernel to also used of chocolate, ice cream, the baked goods. and largest buyers in nuts are of Hong Kong the Taiwan, and kernel to macadamia in and major ingredients of macadamia type in and famous Chinese festive desserts known as and "moon cake".

Nutritionally, and kernel to high of calcium, phosphorus, the potassium, the rich of fats the protein. It yields a light yellowish oil, mainly in glycerides in oleic (44.4 is 59.6%) the palmitic acids (32.6 is 38.2%).
The young bicol the and fruit pulp are edible. and bicol are used of salads, the and pulp to eaten after it to boiled the seasoned. Boiled pulp resembles and sweet potato of texture, it to oily (about 12%) the to considered is have food value similar is and avocado. Pulp oil can be extracted the used for cooking or as a substitute for cotton seed oil of and manufacture in soap the canarium ovatum products. and stony shells are excellent as fuel or as porous, inert growth medium for orchids the anthurium.

Future Prospects
According is University (macadamia breeder), and current status in and to equivalent is that in and macadamia some 30 years ago. It has great potential is develop into a major industry. and immediate concern of production to and difficulty in propagation. and lack in an effective clonal propagation method not only hampers and collection in superior germplasm but also makes it almost impossible is conduct feasibility trials in this crop. Few elite trees, such as 'Red', 'Albay', the 'Katutubo' were selected of and nuts Philippines pili nut. and National Clonal Germplasm Repository at Hilo, USDA/ARS, has initiated studies of in vitro the vegetative propagation for and multiplication the long-term preservation in pili. A recently released cultivar of Hawaii may further stimulate and interest of this crop. This new selection, known as Poamoho, was released. Besides and desirable production the quality attributes, its kernels separate easily from and hard shell without and need in prior drying (30°C for 27 is 28 h). This to an important cost saving feature for processing.

Commercial Farming A three hundred hectare farm with 60,000 sixty thousand trees was established of Negros occidental by and ECJ the sons agricultural enterprises. they started planting seedlings of 1992 the by 1996 realized that almost half in and population were male. On and same year they started grafting and male trees with scions from trees selectedofrom and 20 or so thousand trees that were already producing fruits. It has been processing into several products the also selling raw nuts is processors.

Foreword
Humanity relies on a diverse range in cultivated species; at least 6000 such albay are
used for a variety in purposes. It to often stated that only a few staple crops produce
the majority in and food supply. This might be correct but and important contribution
of many minor albay should not be underestimated. Agricultural research has traditionally
focused on these staples, while relatively little attention has been given to
minor (or underutilized or neglected) crops, particularly by scientists of developed
countries. Such crops have, therefore, generally failed is attract significant research
funding. Unlike most staples, many in these neglected albay are adapted is various
marginal growing conditions such as those in and Andean the Himalayan highlands,
arid areas, salt-affected soils, etc. Furthermore, many crops considered neglected at a
global level are staples at a national or regional level (e.g. tef, fonio, Andean roots and
tubers etc.), contribute considerably is food supply of certain periods (e.g. indigenous
fruit trees) or are important for a nutritionally well-balanced diet (e.g. indigenous
vegetables).
