“…The haustorium residues can be used for crafting agglomerate panels for interior use. The best results in “finishing” and durability are seen when these fibers are combined with coir ( Cocos nucifera ) [ 120 ]. In addition, cellulose nanofibrils can also be used as the basis for biodegradable packaging or for stable emulsions, which can be applied in medicinal and cosmetic industries [ 121 , 122 ].…”

The extraction and commercialization of palm hearts is the most profitable activity involving the peach palm (Bactris gasipaes), while consumption of its fruits is limited to Amazonian communities. The excessive attention paid to the implementation of germplasm banks contributed to the lack of development of high-performance varieties, limiting the production and consumption of peach palm fruits and by-products. In addition, with the fragmentation of the Amazonian rainforest, wild populations are in danger of extinction. The species domestication, initiated by Native Amazonians, generated a large variety of peach palm populations, as evidenced by the diversity in fruit sizes and quality. Some advances in agronomic traits also took place. However, more research needs to be conducted to understand the implications of climatic changes on plant physiological performance. Indeed, the key point is that the exploitation of the full potential of B. gasipaes has not been completely exploited. Therefore, understanding the state-of-the-art research on the peach palm with a focus on its underutilized resources is essential for expanding plantations and, consequently, promoting the market expansion of the peach palm as a fruit crop.

“…The sustainability of the peach palm culture encompasses the development of research for the reuse of residues generated by its processing. Currently, agro-industrial by-products have been employed as a substrate for mushrooms (Sales-Campos et al, 2011) and seedlings (Sá et al, 2020), for manufacturing wood biocomposites (Haro et al, 2018) and wooden panels (Quinaya et al, 2016;Pinheiro et al, 2017), for fabricating biodegradable packaging (Silva et al, 2017;Melo-Neto et al, 2018), as a complement in animal nutrition (Schmidt et al, 2010;Santos-Cabral et al, 2015), and as a soil conditioner (Bellettini et al, 2017). The fruit has been used for flour production (Martínez-Girón et al, 2017), and the oil has applications in cosmetology (Mujica et al, 2017).…”

Rapid results of peach palm seed viability: a methodological proposition for the tetrazolium test

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Prior to commercialization, seeds of peach palm (Bactris gasipaes Kunth) have to undergo the germination test, whose well-established methodology takes 120 days. Due to their recalcitrant behavior, the seeds have short longevity when stored (around 30-45 days), which makes it challenging to select the most viable ones for marketing. This study aimed to determine a methodology for the tetrazolium test to be carried out in peach palm seeds, in order to fast deliver results that can be correlated to the germination test. Different forms of pre-conditioning, preparation, and staining were investigated via moisture content, germination, and tetrazolium tests, so as to define the vital parts of the seed and sort out the viability classes. For the seed lot under study, the tetrazolium test delivered results supported by the germination test when the following procedures were adopted: pre-conditioning by water submersion (20 °C for 24 h), longitudinal cut adjacent to the embryo, and half-seed immersion (embryo + endosperm) in a 1.0% tetrazolium solution for 4 h at 30 °C. Having fulfilled these criteria, it became possible to separate the peach palm seeds into two classes (viable or non-viable).

“…Most of the papers involving peach palm fiber addressed to the preparation of polymer‐based composites. For example, PPF was compounded with polypropylene, unsaturated polyester, polyurethane and epoxy resin, giving rise to outstanding mechanical resistance. Biodegradable thermoplastic polymers as matrices, such as poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate‐co‐3‐hydroxyvalerate) or poly(butylene adipate‐co‐terephthalate) (PBAT), was also blended with PPF by Batista et al and by our research group, respectively, to provide new fully biodegradable composite.…”

Natural fiber produced from the peach palm trees (PPF) as agricultural waste is used to prepare polyaniline (PAni)‐based hybrid conductive fibers, through the in situ emulsion polymerization of aniline in isopropanol/water medium in the presence of dodecyl benzenesulfonic acid as protonating agent. Polyaniline is uniformly deposited on the fiber surface during the synthesis, as indicated by scanning electron microscopy. The presence of ionic liquid, 1‐butyl‐3‐methyl imidazolium tetrafluoroborate (bmim.BF4) during the PAni synthesis results in conductive fiber with conductivity of around 1.2 × 10−1 S cm−1, which is slightly higher than those obtained for neat PAni samples. The hybrid fibers are compounded with poly(butylene adipate‐co‐terephthalate) (PBAT) in different proportion to develop conductive biodegradable composites. For the same composite composition, those prepared with polyaniline/ionic liquid‐fiber (PAni.IL‐PPF) display higher dielectric constant, higher dielectric low, higher AC electrical conductivity and good electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness (EMI SE) measured in the X‐band frequency range. In all conducting composites, an absorption dominated EMI shielding mechanism is observed, which make them promising microwave‐absorbing compound.
