This study aimed to investigate the effects of two, conventional and green, extraction techniques on the nutritional, bioactive and physicochemical properties of oils from Astrocaryum vulgare pulp. It is an Amazonian oilseed named tucumã, known by their oily nature and bioactive properties. n-Hexane (N-HE) and supercritical CO 2 (SFE-CO 2 ) were used as extraction solvents. Higher oil yield, 39.63%, was achieved using N-HE then SFE-CO 2 , 36.75%. The SFE-CO 2 oil presented low acidity and peroxide content, 0.9 mg KOHg −1 and 1.1 mEq kg −1 , while the N-HE presented 3.25 mg KOH g −1 and 2.4 mEq kg −1 , respectively (P < 0.05). The SFE-CO 2 oil exhibited greater content of linoleic (~42.3%) and oleic acids (~32.6%) (P < 0.05) and higher β-carotenes, up to 1100 μg 100 g −1 , while the N-HE oil had ~877 μg 100 g −1 . SFE-CO 2 had positive effect on the physicochemical and nutritional properties of A. vulgare pulp oil, which was statistically confirmed by principal component analysis (PCA). Practical applications The application of green techniques based on supercritical CO 2 fluid extraction to obtain biolipids from A. vulgare pulp with greater nutritional quality contributes to its potential utilisation as a functional ingredient in foods.

“…The harvest of fruits from Amazonian palm trees traditionally targets the supply of local free fairs and, generally, are not used by the food industry due to their seasonality [ 79 ]. Therefore, there is a great challenge in making these fruits more attractive for industrial use, and it is imperative to optimize the processing conditions of these fruits to present new application alternatives [ 80 ]. In this regard, the literature has promising research that uses fruits of Amazonian palm trees in food formulations ( Table 3 ).…”

“…Among the Amazonian fruits already studied, tucumã has been little explored, and its applications are still scarce and challenging. In the literature, some studies have addressed possible alternatives for inserting tucumã in food, for example, in preparing mayonnaise, salad dressing, and pastes [ 80 , 87 , 88 ].…”

The amplitude of excitation force from exciters used in fruit tree vibration harvesting remains constant at a given frequency, leading to poor fruit detachment ratio and tree damage. A solution has been proposed through the development of a Double-Symmetric Eccentric Exciter (DSEE). This new exciter allows for the adjustment of excitation force amplitude while maintaining a constant frequency by varying the phase angle of the DSEE. To validate the effectiveness of the DSEE, vibration tests were conducted on fruit trees using different parameter exciting forces. Acceleration sensors were employed to measure the vibration accelerations of the tree branches. The experimental results revealed that when a fixed frequency excitation force with a constant phase angle was applied to the trunk, the vibration acceleration of branches exhibited inconsistent variations due to differences in the vibration differential equation parameters of each branch. Furthermore, it was observed that increasing the phase angle of the DSEE at a fixed frequency led to larger vibration accelerations in every branch. This signifies that adjusting the phase angle of the DSEE can effectively increase the amplitude of the exciting force. Consequently, the ability to control both the amplitude and frequency of the excitation force independently can mitigate issues such as low fruit harvest rates and minimize damage to fruit trees.
