Thermal Characterization of the Favelone Oil (Cnidoscolus phyllacanthus)

摘要

A thermal analysis has been applied to characterization of oil and fats. Taking into account the problems of desertification and agricultural practices able to provide income to the population at the semi-arid region of Northeastern Brazil, this work presents the results of the thermal characterization by thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry of the favelone seed oil (cnidoscolus phyllacanthus).
