Structure and emulsifying properties of unprecedent glucomannan oligo- and polysaccharides from Amazonia Acrocomia aculeata palm fruit.

Carbohydrate Polymers, 2023
Acrocomia aculeata fruit pulp contains oil (4.1-82.8 % fresh matter) and carbohydrates (6.6-98.0 % fresh matter). To date, only the oil fraction is valorized because very little is known about the nature of carbohydrates.

Acrocomia Aculeata as an Unreported Cause of Tricuspid Regurgitation

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2009
Penetrating chest trauma can produce a wide range of lesions to cardiac structures. Some patients develop signs and symptoms of residual sequelae. We describe the case of an 11-year-old boy with severe tricuspid regurgitation caused by the thorn of a palm tree.

Acrocomia aculeata

2018
Acrocomia aculeata The first classification of Acrocomia aculeata was made by Jacquin (Jacq.) in 1763 as Cocos aculeatus Jacq. It was included in the genus Acrocomia by Martius (Mart.) in 1824 and the scientific name transferred to A. sclerocarpa. In 1845, Loddiges (Lodd.) synonymized C. aculeatus and A. sclerocarpa under A. aculeata.

Cell wall polysaccharides from macauba pulp (Acrocomia aculeata L.): Fractionation and characterization of their chemical and rheological properties.

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules
Macauba fruit pulp (Acrocomia aculeata) is an emerging oil source. After de-oiling, the macauba pulp meal (MPM) offers a dietary fiber content of 40-50 %, which mainly comprises cell wall polysaccharides (CWP).

Macauba (Acrocomia aculeata) pulp oil has the potential to enhance the intestinal barrier morphology, goblet cell proliferation and gut microbiota composition in mice fed a high-fat diet

British Journal of Nutrition, 2023
Macauba (Acrocomia aculeata) is a palm tree native from Brazil, whose pulp is rich in oil that has a high content of oleic acid and carotenoids. Macauba pulp oil can bring health benefits due to its bioactive compounds; however, its effects on gut health

Initial development of seedlings of macauba palm (Acrocomia aculeata)

Industrial Crops and Products, 2016
Abstract The macauba palm ( Acrocomia aculeata ), also know as the grugru palm, macaw palm and coyol palm, has great potential for the production of oil for biodiesel. The aim of this study was to evaluate the development of macauba palm seedlings in two types of soil, with and without the use of a soil conditioner.
