“…Furthermore, the total phenolic compound content of different extracts of pequi pulp was lower than that reported by Pegorin Brasil et al [ 11 ], Magalhães et al [ 19 ] (1.09 mg GAE/g, aqueous extract), Nascimento-Silva et al [ 20 ] (0.78 mg GAE/g, hydroethanolic extract), and Ribeiro et al [ 21 ] (1.78–3.34 mg GAE/g, ethanolic extract). These results suggest that after the extraction of the oil from the pequi pulp, which corresponds to approximately 35% of the weight of its pulp, the phenolic compounds present in the pulp residue appear proportionately more concentrated because they are water-soluble [ 22 ].…”

Caryocar brasiliense Cambess is a plant species typical of the Cerrado, a Brazilian biome. The fruit of this species is popularly known as pequi, and its oil is used in traditional medicine. However, an important factor hindering the use of pequi oil is its low yield when extracted from the pulp of this fruit. Therefore, in this study, with aim of developing a new herbal medicine, we an-alyzed the toxicity and anti-inflammatory activity of an extract of pequi pulp residue (EPPR), fol-lowing the mechanical extraction of the oil from its pulp. For this purpose, EPPR was prepared and encapsulated in chitosan. The nanoparticles were analyzed, and the cytotoxicity of the encapsu-lated EPPR was evaluated in vitro. After confirming the cytotoxicity of the encapsulated EPPR, the following evaluations were performed with non-encapsulated EPPR: in vitro anti-inflammatory activity, quantification of cytokines, and acute toxicity in vivo. Once the anti-inflammatory activity and absence of toxicity of EPPR were verified, a gel formulation of EPPR was developed for topical use and analyzed for its in vivo anti-inflammatory potential, ocular toxicity, and previous stability assessment. EPPR and the gel containing EPPR showed effective anti-inflammatory activity and lack of toxicity. The formulation was stable. Thus, a new herbal medicine with anti-inflammatory activity can be developed from discarded pequi residue.

“…Besides oil fatty acid profile, it is also worth paying attention to the bioactive compounds that can be found in the oil and in the unsaponifiable matter, such as vitamins and sterols, among others [73]. Bioactive substances present in plants have become popular as complementary or alternative therapeutic agents to manage and/or treat chronic diseases [74].…”

Caatinga is a Brazilian semi-arid ecosystem that stands out for presenting unique environmental characteristics with a dry, spiny and deciduous shrub/forest vegetation with several species that can be renewable oil sources with potential applicability in oleochemical and nutrition. Caatinga oilseeds have a high content of unsaturated fatty acids, phytosterols and sterols, and this composition is related to its nutritional potential. The present review summarizes the knowledge on the oil contents and fatty acid profiles of seeds from six representatives caatinga species. It was observed that plants species like Caju (Anacardium occidentale L.), Favela (Cnidoscolus quercifolius Pohl), Licuri (Syagrus coronata (Mart.) Becc.), Pinhão-bravo (Jatropha mollissima Pohl Baill), Pequi (Caryocar brasiliense Camb) and Oiticica (Licania rígida Benth) contains approximately 33.1, 33.5, 49.2, 18.3, 70.16 and 57.0 % w/w of oil, respectively, on a dry weight basis. Their fatty acid profiles are mostly saturated for Licuri oil, with a high content of lauric acid (up to 40%) and unsaturated for Favela, Pinhão-bravo, Cashew nut, Pequi and Oiticica oils. Oiticica oil shows a high concentration of unusual conjugated polyunsaturated fatty acids, like α-Eleostearic and Licanic acid with 16.90 and 43.20 % w/w, respectively.

“…Pequi almonds contain approximately 50% oil, which may be utilized to produce food, cosmetics, chemicals, and biofuels [ 1 , 2 , 7 , 8 ]. Rabbers et al [ 9 ] reported that pequi oil is high in unsaturated fatty acids and possesses anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, curative, antioxidant, and antitumor properties [ 10 ].…”

“…According to the literature, the most frequently used methods for extracting oil from pequi almonds include solvent extraction [ 13 ], mechanical processing [ 14 ], and enzymatic extraction [ 10 ]. Pressurized/supercritical gas technology can also be used to extract oil [ 15 , 16 ].…”

Optimization Studies and Compositional Oil Analysis of Pequi (Caryocar brasiliense Cambess) Almonds by Supercritical CO2 Extraction

Caryocar brasiliense Cambess (pequi) is the fruit of the pequizeiro tree found in the Brazilian Cerrado (savanna). Supercritical fluids have been used to effectively extract bioactive chemicals. In light of the paucity of research on the supercritical extraction of pequi, in this study, experimental tests were conducted on the extraction of pequi almond oil using supercritical CO2; the optimal extraction conditions were determined, and the fatty acids and active compounds in the oil were characterized. The experiments were conducted using the Box–Behnken experimental design of a three-variable system: pressure (15, 20, and 25 MPa), temperature (303.15, 318.15, and 333.15 K), and flow rate (2, 3, and 5 g.min−1). The optimal extraction conditions were 318.15 K, 25 MPa, and 5.0 g.min−1, which yielded 27.6 wt% of oil. The experimental kinetic curves were described using a second-order quadratic model (based on the Sovová model), which demonstrated a satisfactory correspondence with the kinetic curves. Significant amounts of squalene, stigmasterol, oleic fatty acids, and palmitic fatty acids were detected in pequi almond oil.
