Influence of Optimized Microwave Treatment on the Nutritional Parameters and Bioactive Compounds of Tucumã (Astrocaryum aculeatum) Nectar

Journal of Food Processing and Preservation, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The tucumã‐do‐Amazonas (Astrocaryum aculeatum) is a fruit that is native to the Amazon region and known for its high content of β‐carotene, phenolic compounds, and unsaturated fatty acids, making it a promising candidate for the development of functional products. However, conventional thermal methods can degrade heat‐sensitive compounds.

The role of wild palms in agroforestry systems in the Neotropics: A review

People and Nature, Volume 6, Issue 6, Page 2200-2227, December 2024.
Abstract Wild palms are among the most important plants in the Neotropics due to their wide distribution, species richness and cultural relevance for humans. In addition to their presence in forests, these plants also occur in anthropogenic systems throughout their range of distribution, but their role in these systems is often overlooked.

Pre‐contact and post‐colonial ecological legacies shape Surinamese rainforests

Ecology, Volume 105, Issue 5, May 2024.
Abstract Disturbances in tropical forests can have long‐lasting ecological impacts, but their manifestations (ecological legacies) in modern forests are uncertain. Many Amazonian forests bear the mark of past soil modifications, species enrichments, and fire events, but the trajectories of ecological legacies from the pre‐contact or post‐colonial ...

Treatment with tucumã oil (Astrocaryum vulgare) for diabetic mice prevents changes in seric enzymes of the purinergic system: Improvement of immune system

Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy, 2017
The aim of this study was to evaluate the enzymatic activity of the purinergic system in sera samples from alloxan-induced diabetic mice treated with tucumã oil (Astrocaryum vulgare). For this, the mice were divided into four groups (n=6): control/water (the group CW); control/tucumã oil (the group CT); diabetic/water (the group DW), and diabetic ...
