Durio oxleyanus

Durio oxleyanus, locally known as taruntung (or karuntung), is an exotic durian species featuring unique characteristics, such as denser thorns, a tendency toward smaller fruit size, and a less pungent aroma than typical durians. Beneath its unique ppearance, this fruit offers a distinctively sweet flavor profile that is highly favored by international tourists.

With a taste and aroma profile friendly to global palates, taruntung holds great potential to be processed into value-added
derivative products like lempok and tempoyak, targeting a specialized niche market
