[What is Acai berry]

The south American Acai palm(Euterpe oleracea)-known as the tree of life in Brazil-provides a small berry which is growing in fame, particularly following recent studies by well-known herbalists and naturopaths that have categorised it as a “superfood”. Acai berries are extremely rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. The acai berry is also famous for its capacity to support dieting, protect the skin, reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and prevent the development of certain types of cancer.

[Function]

While there are many different berry and fruit juices on the market, Acai contains the most complete array of vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids. Acai contains Vitamin B1 (Thiamin), Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin),

Vitamin B3 (Niacin), Vitamin C, Vitamin E (tocopherol), iron, potassium, phosphorus and calcium. It also contains the essential fatty acids Omega 6 and Omega 9, all the essential amino acids, and more protein than an average egg.

ABSTRACT
Dr Jovyn Ng currently works on a New Zealand potato breeding programme, screening for low glycaemic index (GI) potatoes. Unlike the ‘Carisma’ potato variety in Australia, there is currently no potato marketed as low GI in New Zealand, despite Plant & Food Research having an extensive potato germplasm collection. Her study investigates cell wall and starch properties that could be associated with low GI potatoes. Identification of biomarkers related to lowering GI can be used in the development of future marker-assisted breeding programmes for low GI potatoes. This is seen as a way of increasing the nutritional and crop value of such a widely consumed carbohydrate.

Note: the last example of gel formations regarding the ” hydrophobic structure was misinterpreted. The made up structure with the hydrophilic interior should be hydrophobic, making the hydrophobic molecules join together to avoid water.
