Palavras-chave:
Chrysobalanaceae, Herbal medicine, Couepia edulis, Amazonian oilseedsResumo
The Brazilian Amazon rainforest is rich in natural resources, which are widely used in areas such as food and health, especially for local populations. Couepia edulis Prance is a tree from the Amazon, consisting of fruits called agouti nut, which its use as a herbal medicine is widespread in the Amazon region. That said, the aim of this article was to verify the cytotoxicity of Agouti nut oil. For this, the nutritional characteristics, physical-chemical and bioactive properties of agouti nut oil were verified, for subsequent cytotoxicity bioassay. In the centesimal composition it was identified: Caloric Value 658.84± 0.02; Proteins 10.01 ± 0.03; Ash 2.34 ± 0.04; Lipids 61.20 ± 0.15; Carbohydrates 17.00 ± 0.20; Fibers 29.74 ± 0.64. In the fatty acid profile: arachidic (0.42%), palmitoleic (1.02%), stearic (7.11%), linoleic (14%), palmitic (29.20%), oleic (35.01%). In the cytotoxicity assay at different extract concentrations (100; 50; 6.25 and 1.56 µg.mL-1) cell viability of 78.60 to 90.20% was identified. We conclude that the almond and the oil of the Agouti nut at the nutritional and physical-chemical level were within the food standards for consumption, with a high content of total fibers.
