“…The pequi pulp oil has been associated with several health benefits, such as antioxidant, antiinflammatory, hypolipidemic, hepatoprotective, and anticarcinogenic effects (NASCIMENTO-SILVA & NAVES, 2019). In addition, the oil extracted from the pequi pulp has been used in the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical products because of its technological and functional proprieties, as a source of unsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E, carotenoids, and phenolic compounds (ARAÚJO, 1995;BORGES et al, 2021;CARDOSO et al, 2013;PEGORIN et al, 2020).…”

Pequi (Caryocar spp.) is a fruit native to the Brazilian Savannah (Cerrado), and Caryocar brasilienseCamb. is one of the most prevalent species in this biome. The consumption of the pequi pulp has been associated with health benefits, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, hypolipidemic, hepatoprotective, and anticarcinogenic effects. These benefits have been attributed to its high density in nutrients and bioactive compounds. However, there is evidence about considerable variation in the nutritional profile among pequi pulps of different species, and among pulps of the same species, but from different areas of the Cerrado. In addition, there is no information in literature regarding the polyphenols profile of C. brasiliense pulp, neither about the influence of the native area of the fruit on the composition of these phytochemicals. So, this study analyzed the nutrient composition and identified the phenolic compounds in the pulp of C. brasiliense fruits native to four different areas of the Cerrado. There was a remarkable variation in the contents of energy (176.3-387.2 kcal/100 g) and lipids (13.0-37.5 g/100 g) among samples. In contrast, no difference was observed in the polyphenols composition, since gallic acid, protocatechuic acid, catechin, epicatechin, p-coumaric acid, and ellagic acid were identified in all pequi pulps. C. brasiliense pulp shows potential to be used as a functional ingredient rich in bioactive compounds, but with different contents of energy and lipids according to the fruit’s native area to attempt distinct health allegations of the product.

“…The fruit and seeds of C. coriaceum are an important source of fixed oil (Table 2). Costa et al [47], Figueiredo et al [63] and Borges et al [69] found that the pulp of the fruit of C. coriaceum is composed mostly of unsaturated fatty acids (>60%). Among the predominant unsaturated fatty acids, oleic acid (C18:1) stands out, while palmitic acid (C16:0) predominates among the saturated acids.…”

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.

“…Oils are one of the main sources of lipids in the human diet and depending on their fatty acids profile they will impact health. Consumption of oleic acid increases the concentration of highdensity lipoproteins (HDL) and diminishes the concentration of low-density lipoproteins (LDL) (Torres- Morales et al, 2010;Borges et al, 2022).

Original ArticleJ. curcas has been known to be toxic for a long time, due to the presence of phorbol esters (Makkar et al., 1997), therefore, it is used to produce biofuels or for medicinal and pharmacological purposes, and as life fences by the local populations in many countries (Goel et al., 2007). Consumption of the seeds containing phorbol esters induces nausea, dizziness, and diarrhea; hence all J. curcas-derived products are not advisable for human or animal consumption. Phorbol esters are very resistant to heat, which restricts the use of all its products (Makkar et al., 1997).Notwithstanding, J. curcas varieties, identified as nontoxic exist in Mexico, these varieties do not have phorbol esters and, thus, are edible (Vandepitte et al., 2019). These seeds are found in the North of the state of Veracruz, Mexico, and have been widely used for a long time to prepare food for human consumption (Valdes-Rodriguez et al., 2013).Recently, oil of J. curcas seeds has gained interest as a source of renewable energy. The seeds have a high content of oil (43-59%) (Makkar et al., 1997;Martínez-Herrera et al., 2006;Colmenero & Bonilla, 2013) and can contain up to 60% of fatty acids like those of vegetal oils like soy, canola, sunflower, predominating unsaturated fatty acids, like oleic acid (34.3-45.8%) and linoleic acid (21.51-46.72%) (Colmenero & Bonilla, 2013). Additionally, the amino acids profile and the physicochemical characterization of the oil have been determined and compared with other vegetal sources, like soy, sesame, and sunflower (Carvalho et al., 2019;Kitts et al., 2019). The seed contains high quality oil and proteins (Makkar et al., 1997). Several studies have strengthened the potential of J. curcas to be used for human nutrition (Senger et al., 2017;Chino et al., 2019;García et al., 2020).Vegetal oils can be divided by categories, depending on their processing, in virgin or refined. During the refining process,
