Nutritional composition, fatty acid and tocopherol contents of buriti (Mauritia flexuosa) and patawa (Oenocarpus bataua) fruit pulp from the amazon region [PDF]
O buriti e o pataua sao duas palmeiras endemicas da regiao Amazonica. As polpas destes frutos sao tradicionalmente consumidas pela populacao local, mas ainda nao ganharam os mercados nacional e internacional. A composicao nutricional em acidos graxos e tocoferol foi determinada com metodologias analiticas modernas de cromatografia gasosa (CG) e ...

This paper presents a study about the deacidification of typical Amazonian oils, namely, patawa and pracaxi oils. The liquid–liquid extractions were carried out using three alcoholic solvents: anhydrous ethanol, azeotropic ethanol, and azeotropic isopropanol at 298.15 K and atmospheric pressure. Liquid–liquid equilibrium data for the oils + oleic acid +

Patawa Virus, a New Arenavirus Hosted by Forest Rodents in French Guiana
Molecular screening of rodents from French Guiana has detected a new arenavirus, named "Patawa," in two Oecomys species (Muridae, Sigmodontinae). Further investigations are needed to better understand the circulation of this virus in rodent and human populations and its public health impact.

Chemical interesterification of blends with palm stearin and patawa oil
The present study sought to develop lipid bases from blends between patawa oil and palm stearin. These blends were analyzed before and after the chemical interesterification process for their fatty acid and triacylglycerol composition, free fatty acid (FFA) content, peroxide index, thermal properties, melting point, consistency, and solid fat content ...

Explosive breeding in tropical anurans: environmental triggers, community composition and acoustic structure. [PDF]
Background: Anurans largely rely on acoustic communication for sexual selection and reproduction. While multiple studies have focused on the calling activity patterns of prolonged breeding assemblages, species that concentrate their reproduction in short-
