Fruit performance and edible part nutritional value analysis of three Lai-Durian (D.zibethinus x D. Kutejensis) plant From East Kalimantan, Indonesia

Abstract

The large number of Durio species that grow in Kalimantan illustrates that this area is the most important distribution center for durian relatives. Two of the bestknown edible

durians in East Kalimantan are Durian (Durio zibethinus) and Lai (Durio Kutejensis). However, as a plant with a cross pollination mechanism, there are many results of natural crosses between the two. The study aimed to identify fruit performance and edible part nutritional value analysis of three Lai-Durian plants in Loa Kulu, Kutai Kertanegara, East Kalimantan Province, Indonesia as a potential superior commodities from East Kalimantan. This research was carried out by collecting data and information about Fruit performance and edible part nutritional value three D. zibenthinus x D. kutejensis plants. The results of the study successfully identified fruit performance and edible part nutritional value analysis of three Lai-Durian plants in Loa Kulu, Kutai Kertanegara, East Kalimantan Province. The three potential superior plants has some similar fruits performance on Skin fruis color, fruits size, flesh taste, and it has some different fruits performance on fruits shape, flesh aroma, Fruit spine shape, and some edible part nutritional value.
