In processed products of the tropical fruit caja and in some cultivars of persimmons, all-tran P-cryptoxanthin was found to be the major carotenoid, contributing to 31 to 38% of the total carotenoid contents in both fruits (Table... 

On the other hand, widely consumed vegetables and fruits are poor sources of zeaxanthin. The most commonly consumed are corn, - green leafy vegetables,as,io,4 persimmons, and orange juice (Table 4.2.5). The cis isomers of zeaxanthin were determined in very few foods 9-cis- and 13-c(i-zeaxanthin were found in com. - ...

Persimmon fruit slices stored under air showed a decrease in carotene content (Wright and Kader 1997a). The air + 12% carbon dioxide treatment resulted in a loss of cryptoxanthin over the first 3 days, followed by a slight recovery. Levels of carotene... 

While fruits are not normally considered potential sources of protein, some have been found recently to be surprisingly high in crude protein in the edible portion (9, JLO, 11). As indicated in Table II some of the more common fruit such as banana, persimmon and mango have crude protein in the range of 1 g or less/100 g of fruit flesh. However, some less widely known fruits such as Mamey sapote, tucuma, and decne have crude protein contents above 2 g/100 g and baobab-seeds contained over 12 g/100 g. 

Three PAG-active compounds were identified from the extracts of pheromone glands of the persimmon fruit moth, Stathmopoda masinissa Meyrick (Lepidoptera Oecophoridae). These were AE,6Z)-4,6-hexadecadienal and the corresponding acetate (EA,Z6- 6 OAc) and alcohol EA,Z6- 6 OY ). A preliminary field trail confirmed that the acetate as a single component attracted male moths, the possible roles of the aldehydes and the alcohol as components of lures remains to be determined.
