Resumo

The Amazon is rich in oil-bearing plant species, which possess valuable physicochemical, nutritional, and nutraceutical properties, with great technological and economic potential for various industrial applications. The buriti (Mauritia flexuosa) is one of the most relevant Amazonian fruits for the region due to its high levels of monounsaturated fatty acids, carotenoids, and tocopherols, demonstrating its high potential for use as an ingredient in the food industry. Although further investigations should be conducted to correlate the chemical composition with the biological benefits of regular consumption of buriti oil extracted with supercritical fluid, as well as to evaluate its characteristics and estimate possible applications, this technique has already been reported as economically viable for obtaining superior quality buriti oil. In this context, the aim of this research is to explore the supercritical extraction of buriti oil as an innovative approach for obtaining natural food ingredients from the Amazon.
