English term or phrase: civet durian

Perishables like the civet durian are also not allowed.

Civet=almíscar (a substância extraída do almiscareiro)
durian= durião (fruto muito encontrado no Oriente e devido ao cheiro intenso, chega a ser proibido o transporte do fruto para dentro das instalações de alguns hotéis)

O que seria então "civet durian"? Uma falta de vírgula ou do "and" entre elas?
Como ficaria então a frase? Peço sugestões

Muito TIA

durian= durião

Explanation:
In the species name, zibethinus refers to the Indian civet, Viverra zibetha. There is disagreement regarding whether this name, bestowed by Linnaeus, refers to civets being so fond of the durian that the fruit was used as bait to entrap them, or to the durian smelling like the civet.
