Coquinho-azedo (Butia capitata) is a palm tree native to the Brazilian Cerrado with fruits widely consumed by the regional population. Its pulp is a high source of nutrients and bioactive compounds with antioxidant capacity; therefore, the extraction of its compounds is advantageous. The objective of this work was to obtain extracts from Butia capitata fruit pulp by sequential extraction with supercritical carbon dioxide and pressurized ethanol and water. The extracts were characterized in terms of global yield, total phenolic compounds, antioxidant capacity, fatty acids profile, mono-, di- and triacylglycerols content and total carotenoids. The results were compared with extracts obtained by conventional methods. The combination of the supercritical extraction technique and pressurized fluids ensured better extraction performance and more identification of fatty acids, in addition to high levels of total phenolic compounds, antioxidant capacity and total carotenoids compared to conventional extracts.

Coquinho-azedo ( Butia capitata ) 是一种原产于巴西塞拉多的棕榈树，其果实被当地居民广泛食用。它的果肉是营养物质和具有抗氧化能力的生物活性化合物的高来源；因此，其化合物的提取是有利的。这项工作的目的是通过超临界二氧化碳和加压乙醇和水的顺序萃取，从Butia capita果肉中提取提取物。提取物的特征在于总产量、总酚类化合物、抗氧化能力、脂肪酸谱、单、双和三酰基甘油含量和总类胡萝卜素。将结果与通过常规方法获得的提取物进行比较。与传统提取物相比，超临界提取技术和加压流体的结合确保了更好的提取性能和更多的脂肪酸鉴定，此外还有高水平的总酚类化合物、抗氧化能力和总类胡萝卜素。
