Amazon Therapeutic Laboratories Camu Camu Mega C - Wild harvested
from small lakes in the center of the Amazon jungle. The grape-sized red
and purple berries are juiced directly after harvest and then freeze
dried onto a tapioca root starch base-an ideal semi-sweet carrier for
blending into juices and for use as a supplement in fresh fruit
smoothies and candies. The pink powders add a fruity and semi-sweet acid
flavor to most types of food and drink. Until recently, Japan bought
most of the entire world harvest making Camu-Camu Mega-C a rare
commodity even in the Amazon jungle.
Today, tribes are beginning to
care-take wild plantations and increase production by maintaining local
trees. Planting orchards with grafted trees has become more widespread.
This wild jungle berry contains the highest recorded source of vitamin C
on the planet! About 20x more vitamin C than oranges or lemons. Much
higher than acerola fruit. The fruit also contains natural rutin and
bioflavonoids, which increase the effect of vitamin C and provide prime
bioavailability. Compared with an orange, Camu-Camu Mega-C contains ten
times more trace elements, such as iron, two times more phosphorus,
proteins, beta carotene, calcium, vitamin B1, B2 and B3 as well as a
comprehensive complex of minerals and amino acids.
Tasty whole powers
are perfect for smoothies and juices. This species occurs abundantly in
wild swamps along rivers and lakes in Peru, and in Amazonian Brazil and
Venezuela, often with the base of the trunk under water. During the
rainy season, the lower branches are also submerged for long periods.*

- More About Camu-Camu Mega C
Abstract: The camu-camu, like many other Amazonian fruits, shows an excellent
potential for use due to its high vitamin C content, and the use of
these natural resources could result in greater development of the
Amazonian region. Few studies have been conducted with this fruit, and
such studies are necessary in order to develop the required technology
to allow for its utilization, thus avoiding or at least decreasing
wastage of such a rich raw material.
The principle objective of this
study was to develop a process for the microencapsulation of camu-camu
juice, optimizing the operational conditions. The processing conditions
consisted of blanching at a temperature of 95 - 2;°C for 2 min, followed
by cooling in an ice bath and juice extraction using a brush type
depulper. The juice was dried with gum arabic or malt dextrin in a
mini-spray dryer using an air entry temperature of between 100-160°C and
wall material concentration varying between 5-35%, in accordance with a
factorial experimental design.
Both the air entry temperature and the
amount of wall material, plus the interaction between the two, gave
significant positive effects at the level of 5% probability on the yield
of juice powder. The optimum conditions for juice yield and vitamin C
retention were established as 15% wall material and an air entry
temperature of 150°C.* |
