Resumen:
This study investigates the potential of Butiá odorata seeds, a native palm species from
southern South America, as a novel and sustainable source of vegetable oil. Two types of oil, denominated
Butiá almond oil (BAO) and Butiá seed oil (BSO), were mechanically extracted and characterized in terms
of lipid content, fatty acid profile, triglyceride composition, and thermal behavior. Both oils exhibited high
content of short and medium chain saturated fatty acids, particularly lauric and capric acids, as well a notable
presence of oleic acid. Triglyceride analysis revealed a predominance of tri-saturated and di-saturated
mono-unsaturated species, with low ECN values. Thermal analysis from DSC confirmed low melting points
indicating typical liquid oil behavior. The properties studied suggest that Butiá oils may be suitable for food
applications where rapid melting and enhanced sensory attributes are desired, and potentially for use in
cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and biofuels. Given the limited previous research, this work provides valuable
data on Butiá odorata and supports its valorization within the scope of the circular economy. Further studies
are recommended to optimize processing and fully explore industrial applications of these underutilized
native resources.
