IntroduçãoNa região Centro-Oeste, onde predomina o cerrado, ocorrem muitas espécies de frutas nativas consideradas fontes de proteínas, fibras, energia, vitaminas, cálcio, fósforo e ácidos graxos (SILVA et al., 1994;SANO;ALMEIDA, 1998; MARIN, 2006). Muitas frutas são comercializadas e consumidas in natura ou processadas em preparo caseiro, com grande aceitação popular (ALMEIDA, 1998). O aproveitamento tecnológico de espécies frutíferas nativas pode constituir uma preciosa fonte de alimentos e riqueza para o país.A bocaiúva é um fruto que pertence à família Palmae, sendo a espécie Acrocomia aculeata (Jacq.) Lodd. abundante e nativa no Estado do Mato Grosso do Sul. A polpa e a amên-doa na forma in natura são consumidas pela população local ou nas preparações da culinária regional, tais como sorvetes, bolos, paçoca doce e cocada, podendo enriquecer a dieta como fonte complementar de nutrientes essenciais (ALMEIDA, 1998;SANO;ALMEIDA, 1998).Frutas e vegetais são exemplos de importantes fontes de nutrientes essenciais, entre eles, encontram-se os minerais, que desempenham uma função vital no desenvolvimento e boa saúde do corpo humano. Os minerais são essenciais à manutenção de várias funções de importância fisiológica como na contratibilidade muscular, na função dos nervos, na coagulação sanguínea, nos processos digestivos e no equilíbrio ácido-básico (FRANCO, 2004;HARDISSON et al., 2001).Hortaliças e frutas também são consideradas fontes de carotenóides, os quais atuam não apenas como corantes naturais, mas como compostos bioativos com atuação benéfica à AbstractWith the aim at stimulating the consumption of natural food from the Brazilian Cerrado (vast tropical savanna ecoregion of Brazil), the contens of moisture, lipid, protein, carbohydrate, ash, fiber, minerals, and main carotenoids were determinated in the bocaiuva Acrocomia aculeata (Jacq.) Lodd. pulp. The edible portion of the fruit (pulp and kernel) corresponded to 50% of the whole fruit. The pulp presented 52.99% of moisture, 8.14% of total lipids, 1.5% of protein, 22.08% of carbohydrates, 1.51% of ash, and 13.76% of fiber. The energetic value was estimated to be 167.67 kcal.100 g -1 of wet pulp, which is higher than the other fruits from this region. Among the minerals examined, potassium was the element in higher concentrations (766.37 ± 18.36 mg.100 g ). The bocaiuva pulp may be classified as a rich source of copper for children, as a source of zinc and potassium for children, and as a source of copper and potassium for adults according to the dietary recommendation intake of those minerals. The bocaiuva pulp can be considered as rich in b-carotene (49.0 ± 2.0 mg.g -1 of integral pulp), the predominant carotenoid identified in the pulp, which can contribute to the enrichment of the regional diet, in supplementary diet programs, as a natural source of that nutrient as well as of vitamin A, copper, potassium and zinc minerals.

“…Although some of the Arecaceae species, including some species from Brazil, have been previously analyzed for centesimal composition (Crepaldi et al 2000, Hiane et al 2003, Menezes et al 2008, Teixeira da Silva de La Salles et al 2010, Coimbra andJorge 2011), there is still a lack of research on the industrial applications of some palm trees. The aim of this work was to perform proximate analysis, fatty acid composition determination and total carotenoid analysis of the fruits of six tropical Arecaceae, some of which have not been reported to date, to evaluate their potential use as food and for other industrial purposes.…”

In this study, pulp and kernel of fruits from six Arecaceae species were subjected to proximate analysis, fatty acid composition and total carotenoid content analysis. The species with the highest carbohydrate, lipid and protein values were Ptychosperma macarthurii (70.1 g/100 g in the kernel), Syagrus cearensis (40.6 g/100 g in the kernel), and S. coronata (20.6 g/100 g in the pulp). The ash content ranged from 0.61 to 7.51 g/100 g. Lauric, palmitic, and oleic acids were the major fatty acids identified. The total carotenoid contents and retinol activity equivalents were highest in the Pinanga kuhlii (180.3 µg/g) and Acrocomia intumescens (138.0 µg/g) pulp oils. Retinol activity equivalents varied between the investigated species (456 to 1515 μg RAE/100 g). Native species such as A. intumescens, S. coronata, and S. cearensis are good sources of fresh food for the underserved populations that inhabit poorly developed areas such as the semi-arid region of Brazil. P. macarthurii, an exotic species, is an excellent source of ash and carotenoids, demonstrating its potential both as a food source and as bioactive compounds. Pulp and kernel of A. intumescens, could be a good alternative feedstock for soap and biodiesel production, respectively.
