Abstract

The search for new, more sustainable, and ecologically safe sources of energy has encouraged studies involving the production of biofuels from non-petroleum origin. Among the options for new energy sources, biodiesel is an important substitute for polluting fuels, with several cleaner and greener oils being suggested, especially new plant resources. This field evolved significantly in the last decades, and new raw materials for biodiesel production are welcome for new advances. In this vein, a potential source for biodiesel production is explored here, that is, two distinct biodiesels produced from different parts of the Acrocomia aculeata fruits—pulp and kernel. Results showed that biodiesel from pulp had an induction period of 12.77 h, ~3× higher than biodiesel from kernel, 3.96 h; iodine values in biodiesel pulp were ~7.5× higher than the kernel, 82 and 11 g I2/100 g, respectively. These results are due to the profile of different antioxidants in these biodiesels and unsaturations in the fatty acids carbon chains. The degradation behavior of these biodiesels was monitored by the acid value via the traditional titration method, attesting the blend oxidation until 48 h of thermal degradation. In parallel, UV–Vis absorbances and fluorescence compared pure biodiesels and its blends with β-carotene and α-tocopherol standards. The wavelength at 445 nm was efficient in monitoring the degradation of blends rich in β-carotene—B25, B50, B75, B100. Primary and secondary compounds produced in the oxidative process were monitored at 230 and 270 nm, respectively, showing the pulp biodiesel antioxidant effect on the kernel one. Additionally, from the fluorescence contour map, it was possible to analyze regions of excitation/emission capable of monitoring the degradation process of the blends, found 415 nm, similar to expected for kernel and pulp oils described in the literature. Thus, the study provides information about changes in the optical profiles of biodiesel naturally rich in tocopherol and carotenoid antioxidants, encouraging the development of analytical methods based on absorption and fluorescence spectroscopies for this important resource of vegetable oils.

期刊介绍: The Journal of the American Oil Chemists’ Society (JAOCS) is an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes significant original scientific research and technological advances on fats, oils, oilseed proteins, and related materials through original research articles, invited reviews, short communications, and letters to the editor. We seek to publish reports that will significantly advance scientific understanding through hypothesis driven research, innovations, and important new information pertaining to analysis, properties, processing, products, and applications of these food and industrial resources. Breakthroughs in food science and technology, biotechnology (including genomics, biomechanisms, biocatalysis and bioprocessing), and industrial products and applications are particularly appropriate. JAOCS also considers reports on the lipid composition of new, unique, and traditional sources of lipids that definitively address a research hypothesis and advances scientific understanding. However, the genus and species of the source must be verified by appropriate means of classification. In addition, the GPS location of the harvested materials and seed or vegetative samples should be deposited in an accredited germplasm repository. Compositional data suitable for Original Research Articles must embody replicated estimate of tissue constituents, such as oil, protein, carbohydrate, fatty acid, phospholipid, tocopherol, sterol, and carotenoid compositions. Other components unique to the specific plant or animal source may be reported. Furthermore, lipid composition papers should incorporate elements of year­to­year, environmental, and/ or cultivar variations through use of appropriate statistical analyses.
