Revista Brasileira de Farmacognosia, Curitiba, v. 23, n. 3, p. 521-526, May 2013.0102-695Xhttp://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/handle/ri/15937This study aimed to impact of different extraction methods on the quality of Dipteryx alata Vogel, Fabaceae, extracts from fruits. The major compounds found were the lipids 38.9% (w/w) and proteins 26.20% (w/w). The residual moisture was 7.20% (w/w), total fi ber 14.50% (w/w), minerals 4.10% (w/w) and carbohydrate 9.10 % (w/w). The species studied has great potential in producing oil, but the content and type of fatty acids obtained is dependent on the method of extraction. The Blingh & Dyer method was more selective for unsaturated fatty acids and Shoxlet method was more selective for saturated fatty acids. The tannin extraction by ultrasound (33.70 % w/w) was 13.90% more effi cient than extraction by decoction (29 % w/w).engAcesso AbertoBox-BehnkenNatural productsExtractive processResponse surface methodologyArtigo10.1590/S0102-695X2013005000033
