Characterization of the Tensile Behavior of Pejibaye (Bactris gasipaes) Fibers
Polymers From Renewable Resources, 2012Pejibaye (Bactris gasipaes) palm is harvest in large plantations to the sustainable production of heart of palm. Residues of the cut down palms can be conveniently managed to produce short and long fibers. These fibers are now beginning to be used to produce agglomerated panels and to reinforce polymeric matrices composites, but their mechanical ...

Nanocellulose obtained from residues of peach palm extraction (Bactris gasipaes)
Carbohydrate Polymers, 2019The large amount of residues generated by the peach palm agroindustry and its cellulose content (34 g 100g-1) motivated the present investigation, where outer sheaths were used for nanocellulose production through ultrafine grinding. Protocols combining different chemical delignification with defibrillation intensity (10 and 20 cycles) were applied and

The pejibaye palm (Bactris gasipaes H.B.K.) as an agroforestry component
Agroforestry Systems, 1986The pejibaye palm was domesticated by the Amerindians as part of their indigenous agroforestry systems. The multiple uses of its fruit make it an attractive food species, while high production makes it an attractive economic proposition. Its growth habit is ideal for a canopy strata in some types of agroforestry schemes and, by controlling the number ...

Uptake of mineral cations into Bactris gasipaes roots and structure of the rhizodermis
2001The palm tree Bactris gasipaes (Peach Palm) is of special commercial interest in tropical South America and Central America. The plant seems to adapt well, showing a sustainable growth even in degraded areas. To understand the underlying mechanisms of the successful adaptation, we investigated the structure of the roots and the uptake of mineral ...
