Abstract

Brazil has a valuable reservoir of tropical palm trees, species of great economic importance. Despite its wide use, the species are little known, requiring further research, especially on vegetable oils that contain special components. The aim of this work was to characterize the fixed oils extracted from the mesocarp of tucumã-açú and tucumã fruits. Fixed oils were obtained from Amazon Oil Industry LTDA, Ananindeua/PA, under cold pressing extraction. The oils showed high potential in terms of bioactive constituents, especially the total chlorophyll content of tucumã oil (50.99 mg/100 g) and total extractable polyphenols from tucumã oil (147.02 mg/100 g). Regarding the fatty acid profile, tucumã-açú oil had a high content of unsaturated fatty acids, mainly oleic and linoleic, with more than 73%. As it is a source of bioactive compounds, there are perspectives for using tucumã oils as raw materials for chemical and food industries.
