Physico-chemical Characterization and Fatty Acid Profile of the Acrocomia emensis (Arecaceae) Seed Oil | Chapter 03 | Research and Development in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 1
In Brazil there are several oleaginous
plants, with the potential to supply oil as raw material for various types of
industries (cosmetic, pharmaceutical, energy, among others), among them we have
the Acrocomia emensis (Arecaceae) known as Tucum rasteiro. The objective of
this work was to realize: extraction of the oil of the almonds using two types
of cold mechanical press (walrus type and manual hydraulic type of 15 tons),
physical-chemical analyzes (acidity index, peroxides, refraction, moisture and
volatile material, ash, viscosity and density
at 25ºC) and fatty acid profile of the oil extracted from almonds of A.
emensis from three localities in the northern state of Minas Gerais, Brazil
(Bonito de Minas, Brasília de Minas and Montes Claros). The values of the
physical-chemical indexes varied among the samples from the different locations.
Extraction using walrus type press provided higher yield. The fatty acids of
the oils of the three origins were: Caprylic, capric, lauric, myristic,
palmitic, stearic, oleic and linoleic.
