“…and andiroba (Carapa guianensis Aubl.) are used by traditional populations and as medicinal oils and by industries as essences for the manufacture of medicines and cosmetics and perfumery in general (Silva et al, 2020;Nascimento et al, 2021). These species are also used in reforestation of altered areas for soil recovery, floristic composition and provision of wood and oil (Mendonça & Ferraz, 2007; 3 Oliveira, 2011;Santos& Neves, 2021).…”

Objective: The purpose of this study was to calculate the socio-economic and environmental cost-benefit of the extraction and commercialization of copaiba and andiroba oils, in light of climate changes in the western region of Pará state, from 1999 to 2017. Theoretical Framework: The Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) was applied to estimate the market model structured by the demand and supply equations for andiroba and copaiba oils. Results and Discussion: The cross elasticity of supply indicated that oil production does not compete with the use of labor, land, and capital in the local market, as they are considered joint products. After the climate changes, consumers were the main affected party, with a loss of 21,74%, represented by the average decrease in Consumer Surplus of – R$ 1.264,95 thousand/year. Research Implications: Since 1999, with the climate changes, there has been a decrease in the socio-economic and environmental benefit for the population of western Pará to the level of R$ 4.664,37 thousand, which represented a decrease of 20,60% (-R$1.210,31 thousand) compared to the benefit obtained before the climate change (R$5.874,68 thousand). Originality and Value: Sociobiodiversity products such as copaiba and andiroba oils are sensitive to climate changes. Excess and scarcity of rainfall cause a decrease in production and loss of income for extractivists. Therefore, these products should be part of the insurance policy to guarantee the income of producers.

Eryngiumfoetidum L. is popularly known as chicória-do-Pará, is native to the Amazon region, and is widely distributed in Northern Brazil. It is considered a versatile species due to its diversified uses in ethnomedicine, gastronomy, and pharmaceutical industry. The objective of this study was to review the literature on the traditional uses, chemical composition, and pharmacological activities of E. foetidum based on information published in national and international scientific articles between the years 2011 and 2021. Literature searches were performed with the combination of the expressions “Eryngium foetidum L.,” “chicória-do-Pará,” “traditional uses,” “ethnobotany,” “volatile compounds,” and “essential oil.” The species is widely used as a flavoring condiment in beans, meat, duck, and fish, and in the preparation of tucupi (cassava sap), showing to have great importance for the Amazonian food culture. In traditional medicine, it has analgesic, antibacterial, antiflu, and antipyretic applications. The chemical profile is characterized by the presence of aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes, mainly (2E)-2-dodecenal in leaves and 2,3,4-trimethylbenzaldehyde in roots, in addition to fixed compounds such as carotenoids, flavonoids, and phenols. These compounds have shown diverse biological activities and potential antibacterial, anthelmintic, and antioxidant applications, confirming their potential for use in folk medicine. Therefore, it is inferred that this aromatic plant has vast potential uses and is an important alternative as a natural resource for the food and pharmaceutical industries in view of its antioxidant capacity and bioactive compounds.
