(2010) evaluated 18 non-traditional, ripe tropical fruits and, among the studied species of the Myrtaceae family, observed the following SAR values: 2.46 in 'camu-camu' (Myrciaria dubia (Kunth) McVaugh); 3.26 in 'uvaia' (Eugenia pyriformis Cambess.) and 32.60 in 'murta' (Blepharocalyx salicifolius (Kunth) O.Berg); the results were inferior to those of fully ripe 'murta' fruits in the present study ([E.sub.5]-49.64).
