Valorization of the peel and husk of guaraná (Paullinia cupana): oil extraction, chemical composition, cytotoxicity, and antitumor potential

open access: yesBiofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, Volume 20, Issue 2, Page 879-892, March/April 2026.
Abstract Guaraná (Paullinia cupana) is a fruit native to the Amazon region. Due to its widespread use, primarily in beverages, its production has grown over the years. The seed is the only commercially valuable part of the fruit so the guaraná production chain generates byproducts, including peel, husk, and spent seed.

Effect of land use change on Melolonthidae (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea) beetle communities in the deforestation arc of the Brazilian Amazon

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 2, Page 404-419, March 2026.
Habitat transformation in Amazon due to agriculture expansion impairs Melolonthidae diversity. Assemblage response towards habitat transformation are group‐dependent. Although highly disturbed, Amazon arc of deforestation region dwells sensitive insect assemblages. Abstract Although the Amazon provides crucial goods and ecosystem services for humanity,

Development and Characterization of Copaiba Oil‐Loaded Polymeric Nanocapsules With Enhanced Antitumor Activity Against Breast Cancer Cells

open access: yesParticle &Particle Systems Characterization, Volume 43, Issue 1, January 2026.
The present study developed and characterized a novel copaiba oil polymeric nanoparticle (NPOC), which was efficiently internalized by breast cancer cells, exhibited greater cytotoxicity and selectivity than free copaiba oil and standard drug doxorubicin. NPOC also reduced tumor growth and migration in 3D models.

The stability of magnetic colloid based from copaiba oil

open access: yesJournal of Physics: Conference Series, 2010
The magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles (7 nm average diameter) have been synthesized and stably-suspended in a natural copaiba oil. The morphological and structural characteristics of the nanosized magnetite and the colloidal stability of the as-produced magnetic fluid sample were investigated using transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction ...

Innovative Polymeric Sponges Loaded with Andiroba Oil and Cu(II) Complex: Synthesis, Characterization, Controlled Release, and Antimicrobial Activity

open access: yesChemistrySelect, Volume 10, Issue 26, July 11, 2025.
Innovative sponges composed of andiroba oil (Carapa guianensis Aubl.) and 1,10‐phenanthroline/Cu(II) crystalline complex, dispersed in sodium alginate and cellulose matrix were developed. FTIR revealed their main functional groups and bands assigned to interaction between Cu2+ ions and organic compounds.
