Production of Terminalia ferdinandiana Excell. (‘Kakadu Plum’) in Northern Australia

Buchanania obovata: An Australian Indigenous food for diet diversification

“…Increasing the availability of supply, and educating on the nutrients available in the Green Plum and other Australian native foods could lead to an increase in the nutrition and health in remote Indigenous communities, and possibly a replacement of bio‐fortified foods. They can be a source of income for remote communities from the wild harvesting and processing of them in communities, enabling them to be further used, and their health and nutritional properties more widely available for Aboriginal communities and non‐Indigenous peoples of Australia. This work will be useful for commercialisation of the Green Plum, for use by dietitians and as a basis for further studies.…”

Buchanania obovata: Functionality and Phytochemical Profiling of the Australian Native Green Plum

“…The Kakadu plum ( Terminalia ferdinandiana ) has very high levels of ascorbic acid, high antioxidant capacity [ 7 , 8 ], and strong antimicrobial activity, enabling it to be used as a natural preservative for the commercial dipping of prawns in Queensland, Australia [ 9 ]. It is increasingly being used for its functional properties and is currently used in food and beauty products [ 10 ]. Davidsons plum ( Davidsonia pruriens F. Muelli) has shown vitro anti-proliferative activity against a variety of cancer cells [ 11 ] and can be used as a natural preservative in meat [ 9 ].…”
