“…Regarding tocopherol contents, we have found 28.9 mg/kg of tocopherols in Baru oil, In fact, the tocopherol content is low when compared to other almond oils, such as Fournat, Ferraduel, and Ferragnes [ 25 ]. Although it is not possible to state the reason for this difference, a recent study demonstrated that the conditions of Baru oil extraction could interfere with tocopherol contents [ 26 ]. Despite this, it is reasonable to highlight other nutritional qualities of the Baru oil, notably rich in oleic, linoleic, and linolenic fatty acids and poor in saturated fatty acid palmitate [ 1 , 2 , 27 ].…”

Background: This study assessed the effects of Baru (Dipteryx alata Vog.) almond oil supplementation on vascular function, platelet aggregation, and thrombus formation in aorta arteries of Wistar rats. Methods: Male Wistar rats were allocated into three groups. The control group (n = 6), a Baru group receiving Baru almond oil at 7.2 mL/kg/day (BG 7.2 mL/kg, n = 6), and (iii) a Baru group receiving Baru almond oil at 14.4 mL/kg/day (BG 14.4 mL/kg, n = 6). Baru oil was administered for ten days. Platelet aggregation, thrombus formation, vascular function, and reactive oxygen species production were evaluated at the end of treatment. Results: Baru oil supplementation reduced platelet aggregation (p < 0.05) and the production of the superoxide anion radical in platelets (p < 0.05). Additionally, Baru oil supplementation exerted an antithrombotic effect (p < 0.05) and improved the vascular function of aorta arteries (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The findings showed that Baru oil reduced platelet aggregation, reactive oxygen species production, and improved vascular function, suggesting it to be a functional oil with great potential to act as a novel product for preventing and treating cardiovascular disease.

This study aimed to tailor candelilla wax (CLW)‐based oleogels loaded with α‐tocopherol to mimic the rheological properties of conventional solid fats and enhance the nutritional value of food products. Desirability approach was utilized to optimize oleogels formulations based on rheological parameters of yield stress and gel‐to‐sol transition temperature of conventional solid fats (hydrogenated fat, butter, and margarine). Fat‐tailored oleogels were also characterized by their texture, thermal behavior, and microstructure. The concentration of CLW (0.75–4.0 wt%), but not of α‐tocopherol (0.5–10 wt%), affected the rheological behavior of oleogels. Yield stress and the gel‐to‐sol transition increased, respectively, from 2.00 to 200.8 Pa and from 40.2 to 64.8°C as the CLW concentration increased. α‐Tocopherol can be added to improve the nutritional value of CLW‐based oleogels without affecting their rheological fingerprint. The optimum formulations to mimic the rheological fingerprint of butter, margarine, and hydrogenated fat comprised CLW between 2.12 and 2.51 wt%, showing desirability values of 0.58, 0.76, and 0.73, respectively. Increasing the CLW contents increased the crystal number (4194 ± 381 to 7646 ± 544) and hardness (6.45 ± 0.30 to 10.4 ± 0.36 N) of fat‐tailored oleogels, besides accelerating crystallization. Therefore, it was possible to tailor oleogels structured with low CLW concentration (<2.5 wt%) loaded with α‐tocopherol to fairly replicate the rheological properties of margarine and hydrogenated fat. Butter‐like properties were achieved to a lesser extent. These oleogels might enhance the nutritional value of food products by incorporating the antioxidant vitamin E when used as substitutes for solid fat.

Baru (Dipteryx alata Vogel) is recognized as a widespread Brazilian tree species, and its almonds and pulp have gained commercial prominence due to their nutritional value. All parts of the baru are important for the environment and are used by traditional communities to treat various diseases. This review provides a comprehensive and current overview of the nutritional composition, human food applications, ethnopharmacological uses, and chemical and biological properties of Dipteryx alata, “baru” (Fabaceae). This study followed the recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) methodology. Studies were searched in the Medline (PubMed), Scopus, SciELO, and ScienceDirect databases using the descriptors “Dipteryx alata” OR “baru nut” OR “baru almond” OR “cumaru” OR “Coumarouna”. The exclusion criteria included duplicate articles, review articles, case reports, short communications, conference documents, incomplete access to the text, and articles not related to the objective of this review. The initial search yielded 822 results, 127 of which met the inclusion criteria. The almond was the most extensively studied part (59.8%), whereas leaves received the least attention (1.6%). Baru almond is a rich source of proteins (19 to 30 g.100 g-1), unsaturated fatty acids (75 to 81%), and essential amino acids, while the pulp is rich in carbohydrates (22.5 to 75.4%), dietary fiber (4.4 to 41.6 g.100 g-1) and vitamin C (113.48 and 224.5 mg.100 g-1). Phenolic compounds were the main metabolites, with a greater content in the almond (3.1 to 1.306,34 mg GAE g-1) than in the pulp (186 to 477 mg GAE g-1). Terpenes were also detected in the almond, pulp, and bark. The most evaluated biological activity was the antioxidant activity (n = 32.1%), followed by effects on oxidative stress (n = 12.5%). Therefore, emphasis on baru cultivation and bioprospecting could benefit human nutrition and health, strengthen family farming in various regions of the country and favour the achievement of Zero Hunger and Sustainable Agriculture and Health and Well-Being in the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals.
