  • Does Brazil nut oil contain fatty acids?
  • ABSTRACT The oil of the Brazil nut (Bertholletia excelsa) was studied for its composition in fatty acids, tocopherols, sterols and phospholipids. The fatty acids composition of phospholipids was also studied. These results were compared to those of sunflower, walnut, almond, soya and olive oils.
  • Where does Bertholletia excelsa grow?
  • Venezuela: Almendra, Iuvia, Jibia, Juvia, Matamatá De Altura, Yubia. Bertholletia excelsa is indigenous to tropical Amazonia – French Guiana, Surinam, Guyana, Bolivia, Venezuela, Brazil, Peru, and Amazonian Colombia. It forms large forests on the banks of the Amazons and Rio Negro, and likewise about Esmeraldas, on the Orinoco.
  • What is the phytosterol composition of Brazil nut oil?
  • The phytosterol composition of Brazil nut oil is similar to olive and almond nut oils. Its high content in sitosterol could be useful as anti-cholesterol medicine. 23, 24
  • Does Brazil nut oil contain palmitic acid?
  • Palmitic acid (16:0) content in Brazil nut oil is the highest with 34 and 18% respectively of PC and PE compared to those of sunflower oil 10.1 and 15.7%. PI of Brazil nut and sunflower oil contains nearly the same content in palmitic acid, 26 and 29.3%. Discussion
  • Is Brazil nut oil healthy?
  • Brazil nut oil has a good proportion of unsaturated fatty acids 75.6% that could be compared to that of walnut or olive oils (83%). 20 The high content in linoleic acid (39.3%) and linolenic acid (36.1%) provides this oil with some interesting dietary characteristics.
  • Is linolenic acid found in Sunflower phospholipids and Brazil nut oil?
  • Linolenic acid (18:3) is not observed in sunflower phospholipids and Brazil nut oil while 34 and 11%, respectively of linolenic acid are found in PE and PA. There was a very high content of linoleic acid (18:2) in PC, PE and PI (71.5; 68.6 and 56.6 % respectively) of sunflower oil while Brazil nut oil contained only 6; 8 and 11% of PC, PE and PI.
