ABSTRACT Manilkara zapota L (naseberry) is popular in the food and nutraceutical industries in many parts of the world. The plant is however underutilized in Jamaica where the fruit is mainly eaten fresh. The fruit and leaves of the plant are rich in phytochemicals and antioxidant compounds. Naseberry has many potential agro-processing applications and may be utilized in the preparation of various food products such as flavored water, iced tea, freeze-dried naseberry snacks and antibacterial packaging for meat.
