“…The emergence of commercial interest in Brazil only took place in the 1990s, which encouraged farmers to invest more in cultivation. In addition, local climatic conditions also facilitate the development of the crop [2]. Still, its cultivation was gradually being considered a form of income diversification on the property (mainly due to the long time for return on investment), leveraged by the growing demand for the product in the foreign market [3].…”

Macadamia (Macadamia integrifolia Maiden & Betche), is a non-timber forest crop introduced in Brazil, considered the queen of Nuts. Commercial interest in the species increased in the 1990s. The macadamia fruit has a cream-colored almond (walnut). A crop with an average return rate of 25%. The aim of this work was to evaluate the chemical profile of nutmeg residue (peel), in order to know the chemical composition and possible classes of metabolites. The analyzes were carried out from the peels. For the chemical composition, the contents of total extractives, holocellulose and Klason lignin were determined. Phytochemical analysis was performed to identify secondary metabolites in the hydroalcoholic extract. The quantitative results found were 1.25% of total extractives, 57.65% of holocellulose and 29.86% of Klason lignin. Phytochemical prospection revealed the presence of phenols and tannins, alkaloids, flavones, flavonols, xanthones, leucoanthocyanidins, catechins and flovonones. Thus, it was possible to characterize the chemical profile of the Nutmacadamia residue.
