“…184 On the other hand, the idea of designing a biorefinery involves the integration of different thermoconversion techniques to produce a wide spectrum of products and to take advantage of all the fractions that are present in the oleaginous biomasses. 177 The production of aviation biofuels has been strongly encouraged as a result of the volatility of oil prices and environmental concerns. 180 Brazilian society, companies, and government are taking a step forward in the production of renewable biojet fuel from oilseed biomass feedstocks available in its territory.…”

The characterization of the physical-chemical properties and the thermal behavior of oilseed fruits for biofuels production has gained interest in the scientific community and society more generally, in particular with regard to their use as partial replacements for fossil fuels and for the possible reduction of air pollutants that cause problems for human health, animals, and plants. These oilseed fruits, which are rich in lipids, triglycerides, fatty acids, carotenoids, and other greasy compounds, can be transformed into solid, liquid, and gaseous products by different thermochemical conversion processes (conventional combustion, pyrolysis, oxy-fuel combustion, gasification and transesterification). This review investigates the different oleaginous feedstocks commonly found in the forests and plantations of Brazil -for example, olive stones, palm fruits, babassu coconut, macauba fruits, tucumã seeds and soybeans, and the respective residues generated from biofuel production and manufacturing processes. The main opportunities and challenges associated with the use of biofuels produced from these oilseed fruits lie in the fact that internal combustion engines using fossil fuels do not need to undergo modifications and mechanical adaptations to operate, and there is no corrosion risk and / or deterioration of metallic parts. Biofuels produce less greenhouse gas, or their pollution is considered neutral. Finally, the native forests of Brazil and the world present a vast number of different oleaginous species that still need be studied because they have excellent potential to be used as biofuels, as they are renewable energy sources and are sustainably eco-friendly.

The Babassu nut (Orbignya phalerata Mart.) mesocarp is traditionally transformed to flour and consumed in some Brazilian areas for its attributed medicinal activity; however, its chemical properties remain to be elucidated. The present work aimed at analyzing the babassu mesocarp phytochemical constituents. Babassu nut samples were collected in the Brazilian Amazon, and their mesocarps were prepared and macerated in different solvents. The chromatographic fractionation of selected methanol extracts yielded three fractions, A-5, A-6, and B-1 that were characterized with high resolution methods. Fraction A-5 was characterized through GC/MS as a fatty acid mixture with predominance of eicosanoic (38.67 %) and 11-octadecanoic (21.71 %) acids. Fraction A-6 was characterized by the presence of three phytosteroids (32.02 %), sesquiterpene (nerolidol; 24.89 %), and diterpene (17-acetoxy-19-kauranal; 15.17 %). The 1H and 13C NMR spectra on fraction A-6 showed characteristic chemical shifts for its compounds. Compound B-1 was identified as ergostanol-3-benzoate based on NMR experiments in one and two dimensions. These results constitute the first identification of babassu mesocarp chemical constituents in 1 and 2-dimensions, paving the way to understanding its role in popular medicine.

“…There is a significant number of reports on blending FAMEs with mineral kerosene for aviation applications. For instance, commercial Jet-A1 fuel was blended with FAMEs derived from macaúba 4 , jatropha 36 , babassu [36][37][38] , palm kernel 36,39 , coconut 39 and camelina 38 respectively. The biokerosene blends are reported to comply with most of the specification listed in ASTM1655 standard, such as density, flash point, oxidation stability, viscosity at -20 o C and more.…”

According to Energy Outlook 2019 published by the US Energy information administration, aviation fuel consumption is expected to be more than double by the year 2050 as compared to the current usage. The increased cost of petroleum fuels and growing environmental concerns have made the aviation industry rely on biofuel in their fuel usage. Non-edible crops and algae are mainly used as feedstock for jet fuel production. There are many technologies such as blending Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME), lipid hydroprocessing, Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, upgrading pyrolysis oils, Hydrothermal Liquefaction for jet biofuel production. However, sustainable production of jet biofuel is still under research. The current paper discusses the opportunities and challenges with these technologies.
