Tolerance to waterlogging in young Euterpe oleracea plants

Photosynthetica, 2014
This study investigated whether gas exchange and the present content of antioxidant compounds can contribute to the survival of Euterpe oleracea plants in environments of frequent waterlogging. A factorial randomised, experimental design included two distinct water conditions (waterlogging and control) and five evaluation times (0, 6, 12, 18, and 24 d).

Expansion of açaí fruit and heart-of-palm production promotes hybridization and introgression in Euterpe palms

BMC Plant Biology
Background Palms of the genus Euterpe have multiple uses and hold great ecological and socioeconomic importance. Euterpe edulis is a key species in the Atlantic Forest, providing food for many animal species. The açaí palms, E. oleracea and E. precatoria,

Germination and allometry of the native palm tree Euterpe edulis compared to the introduced E. oleracea and their hybrids in Atlantic rainforest

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Palms are distinctive plants of tropics and have peculiar allometric relations. Understanding such relations is useful in the case of introduced species because their ability to establish and invade must be clarified in terms of their responses in the ...

Biomass Briquettes From Açaí (Euterpe oleracea Mart.) Seeds As A Renewable Energy Alternative

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2026.
This study evaluates açaí seed briquettes as a sustainable energy source. Characterized by high density of 985.6 km.m−3 and heating value of 19.75 kJ.kg−1, these densified residues reduce industrial reliance on fossil fuels, manage solid waste, and preserve native biomes and reducing pollutant emissions. ABSTRACT In this study, the use of açaí (Euterpe

Tucum‐do‐Cerrado (Bactris setosa Mart.) Consumption Promoted a Healthier Expansion of Adipose Tissue in High‐Fat Diet‐Induced Obesity Rats

Molecular Nutrition &Food Research, Volume 70, Issue 13, 15 July 2026.
ABSTRACT Tucum‐do‐Cerrado (Bactris setosa Mart.) is a polyphenol‐rich Brazilian fruit known to improve glucose metabolism. This study investigated its effects on brown (BAT), inguinal (iWAT), and epididymal (eWAT) adipose tissues in a diet‐induced obesity model. Rats received control (CT/TUC‐), high‐fat (HF/TUC‐), control with Tucum‐do‐Cerrado (CT/TUC+)

A Study on Fatty Acids in Seeds of Euterpe oleracea Mart Seeds

Journal of Oleo Science, 2011
Fatty acids of Euterpe oleracea Mart seeds were analyzed in hexane and diethyl ether extracts. The hexane extract contained dodecanoic acid (3), tetradecanoic acid (4), hexadecanoic acid (7), and 9-octadecenoic acid (10). The diethyl ether extract contained (10).
