“…The literature does include several studies characterizing grugru palm pulp that found the following contents: protein, 3.0 to 1.5 g/100 g (Ramos et al 2008;Silva et al 2008;Oliveira et al 2013a); lipid, 18.2 to 13.8 g/100 g (Silva et al 2008;Oliveira et al 2013a); total sugars, 11.6 to 14.5 g/ 100 g; vitamin C, 28.0 to 135.5 mg/100 g (Sanjinez-Argandoña and Chuba 2011; Oliveira et al 2013a); vitamin A, 599.7 retinol equivalent/100 g (Oliveira et al 2014); and minerals, i.e., potassium: 649.3 mg/100 g; calcium: 101.33 mg/100 g; and iron: 12.06 mg/100 g (Oliveira et al 2013a). Thus, to use this raw material in the preparation of food products, it is necessary to describe the behavior of these nutrients from grugru palm pulp through the processes of drying and during the storage period.…”

The objective of this paper was to study the stability of bioactive components of grugru palm powder. Fruits were selected, sanitized and pulped; subsequently, the pulp was crushed and submitted to the following four treatments: oven drying (T1: without maltodextrin; T2: with 8% of maltodextrin) and lyophilization (T3: without maltodextrin; T4: with 8% of maltodextrin). The powders of each treatment were packed in plastic, laminate or laminate and vacuum (LV). Analyses of the physicochemical and bioactive compounds were performed every 30 days during the 120 days of storage. An increase in moisture content and water activity was observed and fluctuations occurred in color saturation and in the values of phenolics and flavonoids. The β‐carotene contents decreased during the storage and their values were influenced by the dehydration method and the type of package. Thus, the optimal condition for preserving the grugru palm powder was lyophilization T3 in packaging LV. Practical Applications Acrocomia aculeata is a highly productive palm tree that has great economic value. All parts of this plant can be utilized and its fruits in particular have an interesting nutritive potential. The mesocarp of the grugru palm fruit provides significant concentrations of β‐carotene, which is a natural antioxidant and pro‐vitamin A. Thus, this pulp can be included to enrich the feeding programs of the poor as a source of vitamin A. This work contributes to the study of the stability of bioactive compounds and of the quality parameters of dehydrated grugru palm pulp, with the aim of defining the best processing and conservation conditions for this raw material when used as a new ingredient in the different formulations of food products.

“…O principal motivo da exploração antropogênica se deve ao seu meristema (palmito), que é utilizado na culinária brasileira (Galetti & Fernandez, 1998). Nos últimos anos, vários estudos foram realizados com E. edulis para mitigar esse cenário, principalmente em nível populacional e buscando entender os mecanismos envolvidos em sua germinação (de Barros Leite et al, 2012;Pizo et al, 2006), dispersão (da dos Santos et al, 2018), fenologia (Galleti, 1999;Tres et al, 2020) (Oliveira, Clemente, et al, 2014;Oliveira, Fisch, et al, 2014). Além de sua importância ecológica, E. edulis é uma das principais fontes de produtos florestais não madeireiros na MA, sendo amplamente utilizado como produto alimentício, ornamental e artesanal (Oliveira et al, 2017).…”

ResumoAs palmeiras (Arecaceae) exercem grande relevância na estrutura e funcionamento dos ecossistemas de florestas tropicais, além de compreenderem recursos‐chave para animais frugívoros. Entretanto, muitas espécies estão atualmente em risco de extinção devido à superexploração e/ou perda de habitat. Nosso estudo visou realizar uma revisão sistemática com uma abordagem cientométrica de todas as 78 espécies de palmeiras nativas da Mata Atlântica brasileira, buscando identificar as espécies e regiões mais bem estudadas, principais tópicos estudados, padrões gerais, tendências e lacunas na pesquisa científica associada a esta família botânica. No total, foram realizados estudos para 48 espécies pertencentes a 10 gêneros, com o número de estudos aumentando exponencialmente a partir dos anos 70 e exibindo grande diferença no número de publicações entre as espécies. Euterpe edulis foi a espécie mais estudada (n = 274), seguida por Acrocomia aculeata (n = 205), enquanto Bactris bahiensis (1), Geonoma litoralis (1), Syagrus santosii (1) e Trithrinax acanthocoma (0) foram as espécies menos estudadas. O maior número de estudos foi realizado nos estados do sudeste do Brasil. Com relação ao tipo de estudos, 34% e 27% estavam relacionados a propriedades bioquímicas e processos ecológicos, respectivamente, enquanto os estudos sobre entomologia (n = 26), cultura de tecidos (n = 23) e taxonomia (n = 7) representaram o menor número. Dado o papel fundamental das palmeiras nas florestas tropicais, nosso estudo sugere que as pesquisas futuras devem se concentrar em espécies menos estudadas, incluindo Desmoncus spp., Geonoma spp. e Trithrinax sp. e em algumas áreas menos estudadas, como a porção nordeste da Mata Atlântica.

This technique was also used in different studies using different carrier agents for the development of microencapsulated pequi oil, with a better protection as for its antioxidant activity compared to bulk oil (Oliveira et al, 2014). The anti-inflammatory activity of guavira microcapsules (Campomanesia adamantium) was tested in an animal model.…”

Among the various food preservation techniques available dehydration has numerous advantages. It reduces the weight and volume of food, facilitates storage, conditioning, and transport, in addition to providing different flavors and smells. With all these benefits, drying is apparently the cheapest method of preserving food (Ray et al., 2016).Different techniques, such as natural convective drying, sun drying, forced convective drying, microwave drying, foam
