In this descriptive study, Butia odorata genotypes were evaluated for yield, fruit number, pulp yield, bioactive content (including phenolic compounds, carotenoid, anthocyanin, l-ascorbic acid, and fibre content), antioxidant potential, and phenotypic characteristics. Genotype 117 was the highest yielding, with an estimated fruit yield of 22,000kgha−1 and pulp yield of 12,000kgha−1. On the other hand, the lowest yielding genotype, accession 49, showed an estimated fruit yield of 8400kgha−1. Jelly palm fruit were generally rich in phenolic content (280.50–398.50mg 100−1g), carotenoid content (2.80–4.08mg 100g−1), and l-ascorbic acid content (34.63–63.84mg 100g−1). While the highest yielding genotype was not the richest in bioactive content, the lowest yielding genotype showed the highest l-ascorbic acid content. Although fruit yield and phytochemical composition are desirable attributes in jelly palm fruit, none of the genotypes evaluated showed high levels of both. Therefore, fruit yield and bioactive phytochemical content appear to be inversely proportional.
