“…They suggested that regular açaí intake can positively influence endogenous antioxidant processes, thereby protecting cells from oxidative damage. Moreover, açaí consumption can affect lipid metabolism, displaying beneficial effects on LDL-c and HDL-c control ( Aliaño-González et al, 2020 , Liz et al, 2020 , Machado et al, 2019 , Magalhães et al, 2020 , Silva et al, 2019 , Silva et al, 2020 , Souza et al, 2020 ). Furthermore, when studying the biological properties of the açaí oil, several researchers found a powerful in vitro antioxidant activity from it as well as a great content of phenolic compounds non-anthocyanins, which could be potentialized when encapsulated into micro- or nanoparticles to a controlled release in specific targets ( Pacheco-Palencia et al, 2008 , Rufino et al, 2011 , Teixeira-Costa et al, 2020 ).…”
