“…Eicosanoic acid (C20:1) was the predominant fatty acid in these two species (more than 60 %). The highest predominance of monounsaturated eicosenoic, erucic and oleic acids in S. caracasana and S. salzmanniana has been previously reported [1]. Similarly, this profile was found in other species of the same genus [3,18].…”

“…Thus, in this study, all the species can be classified as oilseeds (more than 30 % oil content). However, according to some authors [1], other parameters should be considered, such as reproductive cycle, seed mass, and productivity [2]. Because the species in this study are native, further studies are needed for a better understanding of their biology and productivity.…”

“…The indiscriminate extraction of fossil fuels has led to a shortage of conventional fuels and the rapid increase in the costs of oil products. Currently, the use of alternative motor fuels is seen as a good option for solving these problems, and they can be produced from locally available seed oils [1]. Biodiesel is a form of renewable energy and a promising alternative for replacing petroleum-based fuels.…”

“…Other important renewable resources are castor oil and glycerine, which is a byproduct of the biodiesel industry. The Brazilian Government has invested a lot in the biodiesel industry, mainly biodiesel from castor oil/beans . However, the separation of glycerine–biodiesel from castor oil has been shown to be economically unfeasible .…”

“…The Brazilian Government has invested a lot in the biodiesel industry, mainly biodiesel from castor oil/beans. [10,11] However, the separation of glycerine-biodiesel from castor oil has been shown to be economically unfeasible. [12] As a result, nowadays, castor oil is being abandoned for biodiesel production, which offers a huge amount of this oil in the market.…”

Aiming to reduce the anthropogenic environmental impact some wastes can be used as raw material in other process. Considering that, coffee grounds powder before and after acetylation process were used as a filler in a new composite material that is able to clean up spilled oil from the surface of water. The polymeric matrix was a polyurethane and maghemite nanoparticles was used as filler to provide magnetic properties to the material. In this study, four different materials were prepared: the first was the resin matrix; the second was the composite containing only 5% w/w of magnetizable nanoparticles; the third was the composite containing 5% w/w of the magnetizable nanoparticles and 10% w/w of coffee grounds; and the last was similar the former but containing acetylated coffee grounds powder. All of the obtained materials were characterized by FTIR, XRD, TGA, magnetic force and susceptibility, density, water absorption amount and oil removal capability. The results showed that each gram of composite material containing 10% of coffee grounds powder was able to sorb (9.6 ± 0.5) grams of crude oil, while the composite containing the same amount of acetylated coffee grounds was able to remove (9.4 ± 0.6) grams of crude oil. The significant advantage of the acetylation process is the lower absorption of water in comparison to the non‐acetylated analogous material. The results demonstrated that the hydrophilic tendency decreases significantly. The water/oil ratio absorbed by the materials decreased from 1.07 when using composite containing coffee grounds, to 0.41 when composite containing acetylated coffee grounds was used.
