This work studied fast pyrolysis as a way to use the residual fiber obtained from shells of coconut ( Cocos nucifera L. var. Dwarf, Aracaju, northeastern Brazil). The bio-oil produced by and aqueous phase (formed during pyrolysis) were characterized GC/qMS GC×GC/TOF-MS. Many oxygenated compounds such phenols, aldehydes, ketones identified in extracts both phases, with high predominance phenolic compounds, mainly alkylphenols. Eighty-one 42 using GC/qMS, 95 68 same samples better performance...

The indiscriminate use of oral ferrous sulfate (FeSO4) doses induces significant oxidative damage to health. However, carotene-rich foods such as buriti oil can help the endogenous antioxidant defense and still maintain other body functions. This study aimed assess effects intake in iron-overloaded rats by FeSO4 administration. Buriti has β-carotene (787.05 mg/kg), α-tocopherol (689.02 a predominance monounsaturated fatty acids (91.30 g/100 g). Wistar (n = 32) were subdivided into two...
