Langsat (Lansium duranum), also known as Lanzones Philippines, Dr.Abhay Kumar Pati, Biotechayur

June 21, 2010 - PRLog -- Langsat (Lansium duranum), also known as Lanzones in the Philippines, was originally native to the Malaysian peninsula. It is known variously as langsat (Malay); lansones , lansa, buahan, langseh, langsep, lanzon, lanzone, lansones (Filipino); langsad (for the type of which its skin is quite sticky to the fruit), longkong (for the type of which the skin is easily peeled off without milky latex) (Thai); duku, kokosan (Indonesian), Gadu Guda (Sri Lanka), lòn bon and bòn bon (Vietnamese).
Agriculturally, the tree is grown throughout the entire Southeast asian region, ranging from Southern India to the Philippines for its fruit. Within mainland Asia, the tree is cultivated in Thailand, Vietnam and India, as well as its native Malaysia. Outside the region, it has also been successfully transplanted and introduced to Hawaii and Surinam.
Fruits are ovoid, roundish orbs, usually found in clusters of two to thirty fruits. Each round fruit is covered by yellowish, thick, leathery skin. Underneath the skin, the fruit is divided into five or six slices of translucent, juicy flesh. The flesh is slightly acidic in taste, although ripe specimens are sweeter. Green seeds are present in around half of the segments, usually taking up a small portion of the segment although some seeds take up the entire segment's volume. In contrast with the sweet-sour flavor of the fruit's flesh, the seeds are extremely bitter. The sweet juicy flesh contains sucrose, fructose, and glucose.
