“…The mass of the pulp varied from 9.57 to 19.56 g, with a yield of 22.7%. Another study found a lower mass value than the present study (ranging from 3.00 to 7.48 g) (Cândido & Silva, 2017). The yield found in the present study was different from related studies by other researchers of buriti fruit from the Brazilian Cerrado.…”

“…The moisture concentration was similar to that observed by Schiassi et al (2018), in fruits of area of the São Paulo state, Brazil and also observed by Cândido & Silva (2017). Regarding the fiber content, this was higher than 6.02 g.100 g -1 reported by Schiassi et al (2018) and higher than 6.69 observed in another study (Cândido & Silva, 2017).…”

“…Cândido & Silva (2017) analyzing buriti fruits from two diferents biomes of Brazil showed diameter values ranging from 3.67 to 5.17 cm and the height ranging from 4.48 to 5.73 cm. The buritis presented medium weight of the whole fruit, pulp, peel and seeds of 60.43, 13.55, 15.68 and 31.19 g, respectively.…”

The fruit species of the Brazilian Cerrado, such as buriti (Mauritia vinifera), occupy a prominent position in the ecosystem since they contribute to the economic potential of the region and have high nutritional value. We aimed to evaluate the physical characteristics, chemical composition and content of vitamin C, carotenoids, vitamin E and folates in pulp of buriti from the Brazilian Cerrado of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The length, diameter, mass and fruit yield were evaluated. The titratable acidity was determined by volumetric neutralization; pH by potentiometry; soluble solids by refractometry; moisture using an oven; ash using a muffle furnace; proteins by the micro-Kjeldhal method; total dietary fiber by the gravimetric non-enzymatic method and lipids with a Soxhlet extractor. Vitamin C and carotenoids were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography with detection by diode array (HPLC-DAD) and vitamin E and folates by HPLC with fluorescence detection. Buriti pulp showed 12.13 g.100g -1 of lipids and 74.86 g.100g -1 of moisture. Also, the fruit showed high content of dietary fiber, carotenoids, vitamin C, vitamin E and folates. Buriti can contribute to the adequate intake of fiber and vitamins and to preventing the incidence of disorders, especially those more frequent in native populations of the Cerrado.Keywords: Mauritia vinifera; vitamin C; vitamin E; folates; HPLC.Practical Application: Buriti can contribute to the adequacy of intake of fiber and vitamins and prevent several disorders.

Present dependence on fossil sources for meeting energy demand globally is unsustainable as a result of non‐renewable and depleting supplies. Therefore, this study focuses on production and characterization of biodiesel by Chlorococcum littorale (Chlorococcum sp.) isolated from fish pond in Owode fish farm, Nigeria. Biomass concentration, lipid extraction and quantification were determined by filtration, solvent extraction and gravimetric methods. Extracted lipid was transesterified to diesel through process catalyzed by concentrated tetraoxosulphate (VI) acid. The constituents of fats in biodiesel produced were examined through chromatography of gas and spectroscopy of mass. Model prediction was used to assess physical and chemical parameters of biodiesel. The data gathered was subjected to statistical analysis. Chlorococcum sp. had biomass concentration (4.42 ± 0.02 g/L), Lipid content (67.75% and biodiesel yield (96.33%). Biodiesel had 48.3%, 29.20%, and 22.50% fatty acids that are saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated, respectively. The biodiesel produced has the kinematic viscosity (2.74 mm2/s at 40°C); point of flash (245°C); point of cloud (7°C); point of pour (−2°C) and density (0.8760 g/cm3). Furthermore, the acidity level (0.44 mgKOH/g), value of saponification (186.49 mgKOH/g), value of peroxide (3.25 meq/kg), iodine content (38.27 mgI2/g) as well as the free fatty acid (1.34%), number of cetane (65.78), oxidative resistance (7.33 h), saturated factor of long chain (28.16°C), plugging point of cold filter (35.62°C) and high heating value (43.24°C) fell within required standard by international body. Thus, Chlorococcum sp. is ideal microalgae isolate for the biodiesel production. The biodiesel produced conform satisfactorily with the acceptable global standard.
