SUMMARY:

Brazil is a privileged country when it comes to biological diversity and with a broad potential to generate ecosystem and environmental services. This wealth has driven the development of research and innovation in the country, with increasingly positive results. In recent decades, we have witnessed a strong increase in several areas of research into the biodiversity of Brazilian flora, encouraged by public/private institutions, constantly developing cultivation methods and biotechnological processes for industrial application. Plants from northeastern biomes have aroused interest in the generation of products due to their unique characteristics, however there is a deficiency in biomass production due to the lack of commercial and structural incentives in Rio Grande do Norte. The work aimed to characterize the fixed oils extracted from Bati fruits to identify their physicochemical and biochemical properties to identify potential uses in the cosmeceutical industry. Bati fruits were collected in the region of Santa Luzia de Touros/RN, for extraction of vegetable fat through cooking, which obtained a yield of 58.02%. Physical-chemical laboratory analyzes identified nine saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, with the highest proportion being: oleic (C18H34O2) 31.16002% and Palmitic (C16H32O2) 29.48771%, which can be used in creams and cosmetic emulsions by its emollient properties and to restore oiliness in dry skin and skin with dermatological problems.
