Talk:Malpighia emarginata

message: In 1954, in NYC, we gave our infant son this apple juice "spiked" with acerola. During 1855-58, we had an acerola tree outside our house in Puerto Rico. Our small son often got scratched by the thorns while climbing to pick the "delicious" fruit. The Head of our university Department of Botany told me he had read papers reporting the comparison of the acerola tree with the Japanese cherry tree.jonhays 17:40, 18 Sep 2003 (UTC)

message: I am leaving the main article here instead of Barbados cherry largely because it was the first one created, and because more pages show up on google for acerola than for Barbados cherry, but the botanical references I have refer to Barbados cherry only.  I could be persuaded that it should be moved.  Comments? -- WormRunner | Talk 20:00, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)

message: I think not.  The fleshy portion of the fruit is deeply lobed, but it is continuous.  The inner mesocarp (the "seed") is sectioned, but most people don't get into that portion of the fruit and thus never see the seeds.  Calling it "secioned like an orange" is a bit excessive, I think.  Guettarda 21:50, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)

message: The article currently claims
:The vitamin C produced by the fruit is better absorbed by humans than synthetic ascorbic acid.
The reference cited itself cites
:Araújo P.S.R., Minami K., Acerola, Fundação Cargill, Campinas, SP, Brazil, 1994, 81 p.
And that reference doesn't seem to be online.
Anyway, I ask anyone who has access to tell me who they cite (it doesn't seem to be an original work on ascorbic acid absorption), or maybe how this was measured. I suspsect that it just means that the enantiomerically-pure ascorbic acid from living organisms is better absorbed than racemic ascorbic acid (mixture of equal parts of the 2 enantiomers). And that's not something notable for an article on a particular plant (see vitamin C, enantiomer, homochirality).

message: Higher than average Vitamin-C content is the only benefit mentioned on most reliable web pages found by Google. Which is irrelevant for a smart consumer, as one can buy Vitamin C in bulk instead of buying Acerola Powder.
