“…The fatty acid profile of babassu oil has been evaluated by different researchers [19][20][21][22][23], demonstrating the high content of acid lauric. The oil from babassu coconut is rich in this fatty acid, with a concentration above 40% [24,25]. The lauric fats, like babassu oil, are essential in the fats and oils industry.…”

Babassu (Orbignya speciosa) is a Brazilian palm with extraordinary importance in socioeconomic and ecologic terms. It is found in humid tropical areas, especially in degraded landscapes. There are several uses for babassu coconut and babassu oil. However, their immense potential for large-scale providing other industrial products still needs to be explored due to the necessity for modern scale planning and deep knowledge of vast spectrum thermodynamic properties. This paper gathers a new experimental physico-chemical study of the temperature effect on two critical properties, density and ultrasonic velocity for babassu oil, due to its rising economic significance and a high potential for intensive farming in regions with low economic resources. We consider how accurately different theoretical prediction methods work due to modern processes, design, and algorithm simulations being strongly computer-oriented. The Agrawal-Thodos equation for density and Collision Factor Theory for ultrasonic velocity was selected, mainly attending to ease of use and range of application. We observed a good response at the studied conditions, despite geometrical simplifications into triglyceride molecules and using estimated critical magnitudes by molecular group contribution approach. A broad comparison was made with disposable open literature thermodynamic data, showing an essential dispersion of data, and highlighting the quality of the experimental data presented in this work.

“…The use of natural products as antimicrobial agents has emerged as an important strategy to address the rapid threats of antimicrobial resistance and viral pandemics that are increasing faster than the ability of pharmaceutical companies to produce new drugs. − Among naturally occurring bioactive molecules, fatty acids represent a family of compounds that are present in the human skin − and in many natural products, ,, suitable for human and animal consumption, , and widely approved as food additives and cosmetic ingredients within commercial formulations. − Therefore, they have low regulatory barriers for medical and pharmaceutical applications. Specifically, fatty acids display antimicrobial properties ,,,− and have been used since antiquity as food preservatives , and antiseptics. , …”

Smart materials with controlled stimuli-responsive functions are at the forefront of technological development. In this work, we present a generic strategy that combines simple components, physicochemical responses, and easy fabrication methods to achieve a dual stimuli-responsive system capable of location-specific antimicrobial cargo delivery. The encapsulated system is fabricated by combining a biocompatible inert polymeric matrix of poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) and a bioactive cargo of saturated fatty acids. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach to deliver antimicrobial activity for the model bacteria Escherichia coli. The system responds to two control variables, temperature and pH, delivering two levels of antimicrobial response under distinct combinations of stimuli: one response toward the planktonic media and another response directly at the surface for sessile bacteria. Spatially resolved Raman spectroscopy alongside thermal and structural material analysis reveals that the system not only exhibits ON/OFF states but can also control relocation and targeting of the active cargo toward either the surface or the liquid media, leading to different ON/OFF states for the planktonic and sessile bacteria. The approach proposed herein is technologically simple and scalable, facing low regulatory barriers within the food and healthcare sectors by using approved components and relying on fundamental chemical processes. Our results also provide a proof-of-concept platform for the design and easy fabrication of delivery systems capable of operating as Boolean logic gates, delivering different responses under different environmental conditions.

“…Amazonian natural oils are widely used in food [1], cosmetics [2,3], and medicine [4,5] due to their physical-chemical characteristics that depend on the extraction method, as already reported in the works of Dong et al [6], Martin et al [7], and Divine et al [8]. Oil extraction methods include conventional (mechanics and use of solvents) and nonconventional (supercritical fluid extraction, ultrasound, microwave, and enzyme-assisted extraction), the latter not yet implemented industries due to their high operating costs and low yields, with the mechanical extraction being the most used in the industry for being free of solvents within the conventional ones [8][9][10].…”

A Review of Potential Use of Amazonian Oils in the Synthesis of Organogels for Cosmetic Application

et al. 2022

New strategies for the delivery of bioactives in the deeper layers of the skin have been studied in recent years, using mainly natural ingredients. Among the strategies are organogels as a promising tool to load bioactives with different physicochemical characteristics, using vegetable oils. Studies have shown satisfactory skin permeation, good physicochemical stability mainly due to its three-dimensional structure, and controlled release using vegetable oils and low-molecular-weight organogelators. Within the universe of natural ingredients, vegetable oils, especially those from the Amazon, have a series of benefits and characteristics that make them unique compared to conventional oils. Several studies have shown that the use of Amazonian oils brings a series of benefits to the skin, among which are an emollient, moisturizing, and nourishing effect. This work shows a compilation of the main Amazonian oils and their nutraceutical and physicochemical characteristics together with the minority polar components, related to health benefits, and their possible effects on the synthesis of organogels for cosmetic purposes.
