“…Although medicinal indications focus on the fruits, other organs of C. coriaceum are also reported as therapeutic agents. The leaves, for example, are employed in the regulation of catamenial flow, while the bark is used to combat fever and as a diuretic [38,40]. According to Silva et al [43], the leaves and fruits of C. coriaceum are used in the treatment of bronchitis, fatigue, nodule, catarrh, cicatrization, headache, toothache, sore throat, joint pain, mouth sore, influenza, broken bone, rheumatism and cough.…”

Caryocar coriaceum is an endemic tree of Brazil, occurring mainly in the northeast region in the Cerrado environment. The species, popularly known as “pequi”, produces fruits that are used in the manufacture of oil for food and medicinal purposes. This work reviewed studies conducted with the species, highlighting its ethnomedicinal use, its pharmacological potential, including its chemical constituents, and its cultural and socioeconomic importance. Information was obtained through the main scientific research platforms. The keyword “Caryocar coriaceum” was used as the main index for searching the following platforms: PubMed®, PubMed Central®, SciElo, Scopus® and Web of ScienceTM. The compiled papers demonstrate that C. coriaceum has great medicinal, economic and cultural importance for northeastern Brazil. Popularly, the fruits of C. coriaceum are used to treat broncho-pulmonary diseases (bronchitis, colds and flu). The fixed oil is widely used to relieve pain from various causes in the treatment of inflammation, flu, eczema, burns, fever, rickets, indigestion, heart murmurs, fatigue and erectile dysfunction. Some of these uses are corroborated by pharmacological trials, which have demonstrated the antioxidant, healing, anti-inflammatory, gastroprotective, antinociceptive and antimicrobial properties of the species. Chemically, fatty acids and phenolic compounds are the main constituents recorded for the species. Due to its medicinal properties, the fruits and oil of C. coriaceum have a high commercial demand and are one of the main forms of subsistence activities for local populations. On the other hand, the extractive practice of the fruits, associated with anthropic factors and its physiological nature, makes the species threatened with extinction. Thus, public management policies are highly necessary in order to avoid its extinction.

“…O óleo de pequi rico em carotenoides, ácidos graxos, vitamina A e E apresenta grande versatilidade quanto a sua aplicação e elevado valor econômico (ALVES et al, 2017) Esses constituintes são de grande interesse nas áreas nutracêutica, alimentícia e cosmética, porém são instáveis quando expostos a luz, calor e oxigênio, podendo afetar suas propriedades físico-químicas. Nesse intuito, o encapsulamento se torna uma alternativa viável para preservar seus constituintes (BATISTA et al, 2010;NASCIMENTO, 2016) e diminuir a perda de suas propriedades durante a estocagem (COMUNIAN et al, 2020).…”

One of the ways to enable and preserve the quality of an agricultural product is through its dehydration. Drying by infrared radiation has been gaining great attention from the industry, as it promotes better heating uniformity, conferring better quality characteristics when compared to traditional drying methods. Thus, this study aimed to model the drying kinetics of pequi slices, subjected to drying by infrared radiation.Pequi fruits (Caryocar brasiliense Camb.), harvested manually in different stages of maturation (green and ripe), with initial moisture contents of 1.06 and 2.20 kg a kg dm À1 , were used for the green and ripe fruits, respectively. The fruits were peeled and cut into slices approximately 40 mm long and 2 mm thick. The slices were subjected to the infrared drying process under the temperatures of 55, 65, 75, 85, and 95 C. During drying, the effective diffusion coefficient was evaluated. Among the mathematical models that were adjusted to the experimental data, the modified Henderson and Pabis model satisfactorily described the period of decreasing drying rate of pequi slices. During the drying process, the diffusion coefficient increased linearly with temperature, ranging from 8.15 Â 10 À10 to 1.76 Â 10 À9 m 2 s À1 for green pequi slices and 1.01 Â 10 À9 to 2.04 Â 10 À9 m 2 s À1 for ripe pequi slices. Practical applicationsPequi fruit is characterized as an important native product of the Brazilian Cerrado, being a considerable source of income for the producing regions. Due to seasonality, there is a need to store the fruits. Thus, this study aims to help researchers and the pequi processing industry, proposing an alternative for marketing in the dehydrated fruit form, by infrared drying, to enable and preserve the quality of the product. | INTRODUCTIONPequi (Caryocar brasiliense Camb.), belonging to the family Caryocaraceae, is a typical species of the Brazilian Cerrado region, which has significant economic relevance for the producing regions (Leão, Botelho, Oliveira, & Franca, 2018). According to Silva, Rigueto, Loss, Guedes, and Carvalho (2017), the pequi crop presents the beginning of harvest in November, which lasts until February of the following year, and there may be variations depending on the Brazilian state.Due to its seasonal production, pequi fruits need to be stored to regulate the supply of the product throughout the year.Pequi fruits, as well as most plant species, have a limited shelf life, which depends on the conditions in which the product is exposed or stored. One of the most economically viable ways to preserve quality and minimize postharvest losses of fruits is drying. According to Botelho et al. (2011), dehydration prolongs the shelf life of food, since it removes part of the water of constitution, reducing microbiological deterioration and degradation reactions. Such a process also adds
