description Background and aims: Butia yatay and Syagrus romanzoffiana are the most popular ornamental palms trees (Arecaceae) cultivated in many cities of Argentina. During the summer both species produce large quantities of fruits that are arranged in pendulous clusters, very striking due to their organoleptic characteristics: intense color and sweet aroma; however, they are underestimated by the urban population to be used as an alternative source of food. This study aimed to characterize these fruits morphoanatomy, histochemical and nutritional composition in order to encourage their consumption.  MyM: The fruits were collected and fixed for standard anatomical examination or used fresh for histochemical study. The proximal composition, total phenolic, and fatty acids were determined. Results: The pulps presented large idioblasts containing tannins, mucilage and calcium oxalate raphides. The presence of groups of fibers of different sizes and vascular bundles surrounded by highly developed sclerenchyma sheaths, scattered throughout the mesocarp, was observed. Both fruits were rich in carbohydrate content (B. yatay 11,4 mg g-1 and S. romanzoffiana 37,3 mg g-1) and proved to be a good source of dietary fiber and linoleic and linolenic acids, indispensable for human nutrition since they are parent fatty acids of de omega 6 and omega 3 family. Conclusions: The anatomical and histochemical study of the fruits of B. yatay and S. romanzoffiana allowed us to establish correlations between the observed characters and their proximal and nutritional composition.

Introducción y objetivos: Butia yatay y Syagrus romanzoffiana son las especies de Palmeras (Arecaceae) más cultivadas en Argentina con fines ornamentales. Ambas especies producen en verano grandes cantidades de frutos que se disponen en racimos péndulos, llamativos por sus características organolépticas: colores intensos y aroma dulce;  sin embargo son subestimados por la población urbana para ser utilizados como una fuente alternativa de alimento. En el presente trabajo se realizó la caracterización morfológica, anatómica, histoquímica y de composición nutricional de dichos frutos con el fin de alentar su consumo.  MyM: Los frutos recolectados fueron fijados para los métodos estándares de micrografía, o fueron utilizados frescos para los estudios histoquímicos. Se determinó la composición proximal, el contenido de ácidos grasos y de polifenoles totales. Resultados: Las pulpas de ambos frutos presentaron idioblastos  conteniendo taninos, mucílagos y rafidios de oxalato de calcio. Se observó la presencia de grupos de fibras de distintos tamaños y haces vasculares rodeados de vainas esclerenquimáticas muy desarrolladas, en el mesocarpio. La pulpa presentó un alto contenido de hidratos de carbono (B. yatay 11,4mg g-1, S. romanzoffiana 37,3 mg g-1; a su vez demostraron ser una excelente fuente de fibra dietaria, de ácidos linoléico y linolénico, ambos esenciales en la dieta humana debido a que son precursores en la síntesis de la serie omega 3 y omega 6. Conclusiones: Las características anatómicas e histoquímicas de los frutos de B. yatay y S. romanzoffiana se relacionan con la composición proximal y química obtenida para los mismos.    Sociedad Argentina de Botánica 2023-11-29 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf text/html https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/BSAB/article/view/41049 10.31055/1851.2372.v58.n4.41049 Boletín de la Sociedad Argentina de Botánica (Journal of the Argentine Botanical Society; Vol. 58 No. 4 (2023): December Boletín de la Sociedad Argentina de Botánica; Vol. 58 Núm. 4 (2023): Diciembre Boletín de la Sociedad Argentina de Botánica; v. 58 n. 4 (2023): Diciembre 1851-2372 0373-580X 10.31055/1851.2372.v58.n4 spa https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/BSAB/article/view/41049/43268 https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/BSAB/article/view/41049/43269 Derechos de autor 2023 Erica Mandon , Maria Noel Campagna https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0
