Abstract: Açaí palm (Euterpe oleracea Mart.) and bacuri tree (Platonia insignis Mart.) are two important fruit species native to the Brazilian Amazon. The first species is widely cultivated in the Brazilian Amazon and with some orchards established in other regions of Brazil. Nevertheless, most of its production still comes from the dense and diversified native açaí orchards found in the floodplains of the Amazon River estuary and that in the last two decades have been managed for the production of fruits. The productio… Show more

“…They concluded that adding up to 3% of bacuri mesocarp has proved to be viable, presenting high nutritional value and good acceptance by the tasters. [82] Even in a very limited way, the fruit shell has been developed as a source of unconventional raw material in packaging pharmaceutical products for human consumption [30]. On the other hand, the seed has been presented as a potential functional ingredient.…”

“…Previously considered just waste, the seeds began to attract attention for their constitution of lipids and biologically active compounds. The oil extracted from the seed, commonly called bacuri butter, although still used on a small scale, already appears as a promising possibility for better use of the fruit [30,31].…”

“…Phenolic and flavonoid compounds are known antioxidants agents that are capable of inhibiting the oxidation of low-density lipoproteins and stabilizing unstable radicals. Therefore, their content can be used to assess the nutritional value and biological properties of different matrices [ 1 , 4 , 5 ]. To evaluate the effects of the extraction methods and solvent compositions on the total flavonoid content, total phenolic content and antioxidant capacity, it was first evaluated whether these response variables have high linear correlation (nominal correlation higher than 0.800) using multivariate analysis (MANOVA).…”

“…The fruit is famous for its pleasant and bittersweet taste, being largely consumed in food products such as beverages, ice cream and candies, for its sensorial attributes and for its remarkable biological properties [ 2 , 3 ]. Despite its commercial potential, its production still relies on extractivism, with an annual production of 3,061 tonnes of fresh fruit in 2017 [ 4 , 5 ]. The pulp used in the production of food comprises only 26% of the fresh fruit’s weight, with the other 58% of the weight considered waste [ 5 , 6 , 7 ].…”

“…A propagação do açaí pode ser feita de duas formas: assexuadamente através de perfilhos que aparecem na base da planta-mãe e sexuadamente através da semeadura das sementes em recipientes onde serão produzidas as mudas. Dentre os recipientes comumente utilizados, estão os sacos de polietileno, potes plásticos flexíveis e tubetes, que são encontrados em tamanhos variados (Carvalho & Nascimento, 2018). Para o açaizeiro, a escolha do melhor recipiente deve levar em consideração o substrato utilizado e a idade desejada para a produção e/ou comercialização das mudas, visto que este exerce influência na sua qualidade e tem interferência direta em seu custo final, definindo a quantidade de substrato a ser utilizado, a mão-de-obra necessária no transporte, além de designar todo o manejo e a taxa de ocupação do viveiro, o tipo de sistema de irrigação e sua capacidade de produção anual (Queiroz et al, 2001).…”
