If you haven't read Tree Crops by J. Russel Smith, you might want to check
it out.  in the later chapters he goes into some detail about the yields
and protein-fat-carbohydrate ratios of 'mast' tree crops.

I think it is now in public domain.  check out
soilandhealth.orgagriculture page for a pdf.

also, check out Fruits of the Warm Climates by Julia Morton. not really a
masting focus, but a useful guide for non-temperate fruiting species
