“…In yellowish pulp fruits, the greater adherence of the pulp to the bark resulted in longer peeling time ( Table 1). The variation in the adhesion of the epicarp to the mesocarp according to the different pulp color was identified by Vianna et al (2013).…”

“…The phenotypic variability of bocaiuva was evaluated in three native populations of the Pantanal region, in the city of Corumbá, MS, Brazil, where there were variations in fruit size and shape, being identified mainly by two colors of higher occurrence such as orange (17.1%) and yellow epicarp (31.7%); and orange (30.0%) and yellow mesocarp (34.29%) (VIANNA et al, 2013). According to Vianna (2011), the different bocaiuva morphotypes differentiate by taste and lipid content.…”

Bocaiuva cultivation, mainly in Mato Grosso do Sul, has a strong socio-economic and environmental appeal. Bocaiuva pulp is rich in nutrients and has antioxidant action, and its use in the formulation of jellies minimizes post-harvest losses and provides market with a product with high nutritional value throughout the year. The aim of this work was to elaborate and chemically and sensorially evaluate jellies produced with bocaiuva pulp (Acrocomia aculeata (Jacq.) Lodd ex Mart) of two morphotypes, orange and yellowish pulp, characterizing fresh pulps and jellies regarding physical and chemical parameters. Diluted pulp and sugar (1: 1), pectin and citric acid were used in jelly processing. Fresh pulp and jelly made with yellowish pulp showed higher contents of total phenols and antioxidant capacity. Jellies did not differ in nutritional constituents, except for fixed mineral residue, in which the yellowish pulp had higher value. Jelly with orange pulp had acceptability index over 80% in the analyzed attributes (global aspect, flavor and consistency) and in the purchase intention, statistically superior to jelly made with yellowish pulp. Different native fruit morphotypes can give rise to differentiated and valued processed products.

“…Fruit mass, size, and seed volume are among the main parameters contributing to variability among accessions of A. aculeata in Brazil that may be affected by environmental factors (dos Reis et al 2017). The average diameter of A. aculeata fruits from different regions of Brazil ranges between 2.8 and 4.7 cm, with little variation between vertical and horizontal dimensions due to the nearly spherical shape of the fruits (Ciconini et al 2013;dos Reis et al 2017;Sanjinez-Argandoña & Chuba 2011;Vianna et al 2013Vianna et al , 2017a. A. aculeata fruits present a larger transversal diameter (mean = 4.1 cm) than A. intumescens (mean = 3.7 cm) and A. totai (mean = 3 cm) (Machado et al 2015;Vianna et al 2017a).…”

Acrocomia spp., a genus of wild-growing palms in the neotropics, is rapidly gaining interest as a promising multipurpose crop. Diverse products can be derived from various components of the palm, the oils being of highest interest. Acrocomia shows similar oil yield and fatty acid composition to the African oil palm (Elaeis guineensis). It is, however, able to cope with a wider range of environmental conditions, including temporary water scarcity and lower temperatures, thus potentially a more sustainable alternative to its tropical counterpart. Acrocomia’s research history is recent compared to other traditional crops and thus knowledge gaps, uncertainty, and challenges need to be addressed. This review attempts to assess the acrocomia’s preparedness for cultivation by highlighting the state-of-the-art in research and identifying research gaps. Based on a systematic literature search following a value web approach, it (a) provides a comprehensive overview of research topics, (b) shows the development of publication activities over time and the drivers of this development, and (c) compiles main findings to assess the acrocomia’s preparedness for commercial cultivation. Our results confirm its multipurpose characteristic as a potential feedstock for manifold sectors. Research has continued to increase over the last decade, especially on A. aculeata and is driven by the interest in bioenergy. Increasing knowledge on botany has contributed to understanding the genetic diversity and genus-specific biology. This has enabled applied research on seed germination and propagation toward domestication and initial plantation activities, mostly in Brazil. Main research gaps are associated with genotype–environment interaction, planting material, crop management, and sustainable cropping systems. Overall, we conclude that acrocomia is at an early phase of development as an alternative and multipurpose crop and its up-scaling requires the integration of sustainability strategies tailored to location-based social-ecological conditions.

“…For this reason, there is still no consensus on the taxonomy of this genus [22]. Recent studies using both morphoanatomical characteristics of the plant and fruit biometrics have contributed to the understanding of the taxonomy of this group [23][24][25][26][27].…”

“…In Brazil, this palm occurs in most of the territory, mainly in the states of Minas Gerais, São Paulo, Goias, Mato Grosso, and Mato Grosso do Sul, in the Cerrado [22,29]. It can also be found in tropical and subtropical forests, and dry forests of Caatinga [23,30], with good adaptation to sandy soils and regions with low water availability [24].…”

The global production of vegetable oil has increased since the beginning of the century, reaching a peak of 209 million tons in 2020/2021 and is projected to continue to increase due to population growth and the impact of the biodiesel industry. In this context, palm oil and soybean oil have stood out. However, both palm oil and soybean oil production chains are not fully sustainable, leading to socioeconomic and environmental challenges, which have driven the search for new raw materials with sustainability potential. Macauba [Acrocomia aculeata (Jacq.) Lodd. Ex Mart.] is an oleaginous palm distributed mainly in Central and South America, and most of the Brazilian territory. It is one of the species with greater potential for economic exploitation due to its high oil productivity and use of by-products from oil extraction and processing. This chapter addresses the most up-to-date information in biology, oil production, and oil processing from fruit to oil applications.
