| description | Terung Asam Sarawak (Solanum lasiocarpum Dunal.), also known as terung Dayak or sour eggplant is one of the
largest indigenous crops in Sarawak. It has slowly gained a significant commercial importance in Malaysia especially
East Malaysia. There have been several studies on Terung Asam Sarawak in the last few decades but mainly focus on
plant vernacular and morphology with only some studies focusing on the fruits. The agronomic practices of the plant until
fruit postharvest handling have not been comprehensively studied. The information on Terung Asam Sarawak scatters in
diverse sources, either local or regional sources, and in several languages too. Therefore, this review attempts to compile
these all literature and outline every important finding (from plant origin to planting, fruit postharvest handling, uses
and many more) about Terung Asam Sarawak in order to pinpoint the gaps of knowledge. It is hope that this review could
assist researchers to focus on the gaps that will help to establish this indigenous eggplant as an important commercial
vegetable in tropical countries. |
