Gac fruit (Momordica cochinchinensi

Gac fruit (Momordica cochinchinensis Spreng) is
indigenous to Vietnam and other countries in Southeast
Asia. Its seed pulp contains high concentrations of
carotenoids, especially the provitamin A, β-carotene. In
northern Vietnam, gac fruits are seasonal and are mainly
used in making a rice dish called xoi gac. The purpose of
this study was to develop a method to collect and preserve
gac fruit oil, to evaluate the nutritional composition of
the oil, and to assess the acceptability of the gac oil by
typical Vietnamese homemakers. One hundred women
participated in training to learn how to prepare the fruits
and operate the oil press. The women also participated in
a survey of gac fruit use and their habitual use of animal
fat and vegetable oil. Among all the participants in the
training and surveys, 35 women actually produced oil
from gac fruits grown in the village, using manual oil
presses and locally available materials. The total carotene
concentration in gac fruit oil was 5,700 µg/ml. The
concentration of β-carotene was 2,710 µg/ml. Sixty-nine
percent of total fat was unsaturated, and 35% of that
was polyunsaturated. The average daily consumption of
gac fruit oil was estimated at 2 ml per person. The daily
β-carotene intake (from gac fruit oil) averaged approximately
5 mg per person. It was found that gac oil can be
produced locally by village women using manual presses
and locally available materials. The oil is a rich source of
β-carotene, vitamin E, and essential fatty acids. Although
the β-carotene concentration declines with time without a
preservative or proper storage, it was still high after three
months. The oil was readily accepted by the women and
their children, and consumption of the oil increased the
intake of β-carotene and reduced the intake of lard.
