Antibacterial Properties of Pequi Pulp Oil (Caryocar coriaceum – WITTM.)

International Journal of Food Properties, 2011
Pequi fruits have a high nutritional value, and they are rich in protein and vitamins. This work reports the results of the chemical characterization and antibacterial activity of “pequi” fruit pulp oil of Caryocar coriaceum (Wittm). Chemical composition was assessed by GLC and the antibacterial activity was assayed by the disk diffusion method.
