Myrciaria cauliflora

Patrodnio et al. [45] exploited crude aqueous extracts of mulberry, blueberry, and jaboticaba (Myrciaria cauliflora Mart) fruit skin adsorbed on Ti02 prepared by... 

Polo and Murakami Iha used anthocyanins extracted from jaboticaba (Myrciaria cauliflora Mart) and calafate (Berberis buxifolia Lam) as dyes for DSSCs. [46] The interaction between the dye molecules and Ti02 was identified by comparing the visible absorption spectra of the bare dye in solution with those acquired after dye absorption on the semiconductor a 15 nm red shift indicated the anchorage of the anthocyanin molecules on the Ti02 nanoparticles. The inorganic semiconductor layer was deposited on ITO and the electrolyte employed was I /I3 dissolved in acetonitrile. The photovoltaic cell obtained with the jaboticaba extract gave an IPCE value of 0.2 with a short-circuit current (/sc) of 7.2 mAcm 2, a Voc of 0.5 V and a fill factor of 54%. 

Jabuticaba (Myrciaria cauliflora) is a cherry-like fruit from Brazil with a gelatinous flesh and a very sweet, sour taste and a flavour in the direction of concord grape, black currant, raspberry and vanilla. 

Myrciaria cauliflora (family Myrtaceae) A native tree of Brazil with acidic fruit that can be processed into drinks and jams.
