Abstract

Obtaining and characterizing the oil from the fruit of the Palma de Vino (Attalea butyracea), emerges as an alternative to use their fruit and obtaining raw material for the food, soap and cosmetic industries, strengthening the oil chain in Colombia. In the present work, the oil extraction yield of the endosperm (62.3%) and mesocarp (19.5%) of Attalea butyracea was determined by the hydraulic pressing method at a pressure of 10 tons and an optimum temperature of 65°. c. Physicochemical properties were also determined, such as density, acidity index, iodine index, refractive index, melting index, moisture saponification index and fatty acid profile, with which the quality was evaluated. of the oils against the requirements established by resolution 2154 of 2012. Both oils presented physicochemical characteristics within the ranges suggested by CODEX. Oleic acid (Omega 9) (54.6%) and palmitic acid (23.4%) were found in the mesocarp oil, considered one of the main fatty acids in the food industry. In the endocarp oil, used in saponification processes, oleic acid (30.90%) and lauric acid (26.37%) were found.
