Macauba (Acrocomia aculeata) oil extraction residues as a source of proteins and polysaccharides for food applications

Year: 2025

Type: dissertation

Abstract: The potential of Macauba (Acrocomia aculeata) kernel and pulp residues as protein and polysaccharide sources for food applications was investigated. The kernel 7S and 11S globulins showed high methionine and cysteine content and protein concentrates were prepared by dry fractionation. Aqueous extraction and rheological analysis demonstrated the potential of the pulp galactoglucomannans as food thickeners. This thesis provides the framework for the sustainable utilization of Macauba fruits.
