“…The iodine indexes for murumuru and bacuri butters were lower than those described in their supplier reports and official compendia (6-60 gl 2 100 g −1 ). Pesce (2009) carried out the physicochemical characterization of the murumuru and bacuri butters, obtaining iodine indexes of 12.40 and 57 gl 2 100 g −1 , respectively, while Lima et al (2017) reported iodine indexes of 13.12 and 33.09 gl 2 100 g −1 , respectively. These results corroborate with those found in this current study.…”

A new consumer profile for pharmaceutical and cosmetic products has motivated research into natural raw materials in the development of "green" products such as herbal medicines and biocosmetics. However, various limitations have been encountered in the marketing of these products, for example the quality control of the natural raw materials used by the industrial market. This study aims to evaluate the sensory and physicochemical parameters of murumuru (Astrocaryum murumuru Mart.), bacuri (Platonia insignis Mart.), tucuma (Astrocaryum vulgare Mart.), and ucuuba (Virola sebifera Aubl.) butters for applications in pharmaceutical and cosmetic bioproducts. The acidity and saponification as well as the iodine and peroxide indexes were evaluated and fatty acid profiles for the samples obtained by GC-MS. The sensory properties of the butters showed the appearance of solid to soft cream, color (yellow, brown, buttercup, and ochre), and characteristic odor. The melting temperatures of all butters ranged between 31 ºC and 49 °C. The acidity, saponification, iodine and peroxide indexes for the butters were of 5.82-17.73 mg (NaOH or KOH) g −1 , 181.10-573.55 mg KOH g −1 , 2.78-44.96 gl 2 100 g −1 , and 1.39-9.30 meq kg −1 , respectively. From analyses of the fatty acid profiles, the major components identified were lauric acid in murumuru (40%) and ucuuba butters (73%), myristic acid in tucuma butter (53%), and palmitic acid in bacuri butter (42%). In general, the results of the analyses differed from the specifications of the supplier reports and official compendia. These findings highlight the importance of quality control in natural raw materials to ensure their functionality in pharmaceutical and cosmetic bioproducts.

“…Various studies focusing on the diversity of Convolvulaceae have been undertaken in the Amazon region, either in terms of describing new taxa or floristic surveys (Falcão 1971;Austin 1981;Simão-Bianchini et al 2016). For the Amazon, Austin and Cavalcante (1982) cited 10 species of Jacquemontia. However, as has been discussed by other authors, the taxonomy of the genus is not well known, mainly due to overlapping morphological characters that make species delimitation very difficult (Meisner 1869;Buril et al 2012;Belo et al 2023a).…”

A new species of Jacquemontia found in Carajás National Forest, Brazil, Jacquemontia ferricola sp. nov., is described for an area with a unique flora threatened by mining. We provide a diagnosis of the new species, morphological and anatomical descriptions, illustrations, scanning electron microscopy images, with comments on its distribution and conservation status. The new species was compared with the Brazilian Amazonian Jacquemontia species and an identification key is provided.

A floresta amazônica possui uma grande diversidade de plantas ricas em compostos bioativos. Dentre as espécies encontradas, destacam-se a andiroba (Carapa guianenses), açaí (Euterpe oleracea), castanha-do-Brasil (Bertholletia excelsa) e a copaíba (Copaifera officinalis), das quais extraem-se óleos com grande potencial de utilização em indústrias cosméticas, farmacêuticas, alimentícias, entre outras. Portanto, objetivou-se realizar uma pesquisa bibliográfica acerca das aplicações e comercialização desses materiais graxos, visto que há uma grande utilização destes na medicina popular devido às suas inúmeras propriedades. O óleo de andiroba possui ação anti-inflamatória, antimicrobiana e inseticida que são atribuídas principalmente a seu conteúdo de limonóides. Já o óleo de açaí apresenta uma grande quantidade de compostos fenólicos, como antocianinas e perfil de ácidos graxos benéficos à saúde, sendo muito utilizado como agente antioxidante, anticarcinogênico, combatendo doenças cardiovasculares e neurodegenerativas. Enquanto o óleo de castanha-do-Brasil possui vitaminas lipossolúveis, como a vitamina A e E, que contribuem na ação antioxidante combatendo o envelhecimento, flacidez e linhas de expressão na pele. O óleo resina de copaíba é rico em β-Cariofileno, possuindo propriedades anti-inflamatória, antissépticas, cicatrizantes, diuréticas, antioxidantes, entre outras. Existem várias aplicações possíveis para essas oleaginosas, contudo, algumas dessas espécies são conhecidas apenas por umas das tantas utilidades possíveis a serem aplicadas. Fazendo-se necessário um estudo mais aprofundado sobre seus potenciais.
