Babassu (Orbignyaphalerata Mart.) Stands out among one of the most important representatives of Brazilian palm trees. Almond is the most exploited raw material of babassu palm, because it has an exotic flavor and recognition of its nutritional value, the consumption of almond can extend into different products such as "babassu coconut milk". Another different way of applying babassu milk would be in microcapsules to obtain a barrier that would retard chemical reactions with the surrounding environment, increasing its shelf life. The main objectives of this work were to extract babassu coconut milk, to produce milk microcapsules and to characterize its physicochemical compounds of almond, coconut milk, residue (from milk production) and babassu coconut milk microcapsules.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
