Description:	Macauba (Acrocomia ssp), is a palm tree native to tropical America found mostly in the wetlands (Pantanal) and Savannah like area (Cerrados) of Brazil. Its fruit yields pulp and kernel oils, whose fatty acid compositions are very distinguishable. The pulp oil is rich in oleic acid, the macauba provides also kernel oil rich in medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs) accounts for approximately 50% of the total composition, and lauric acid is the most abundant. In our research group, we have been looking at alternative sources other than carbohydrates to supply energy as a strategy to mitigate the deleterious effects of type 2 diabetes. The
