The Orbignya oleifera Burret species, belonging to the Arecaceae family, is also known as Babaçu, a large palm tree found in the Cerrado region and can reach up to 20 meters high. The babaçu seed is oleaginous, containing about 65% oil, with great potential for economic use. The fruit consists of brownish, thin integument, which has numerous impressions caused by contact with the endocarp and abundant endosperm. The seed is elongated, with one side curved and the other straight. It is approximately 5 cm long and 1.3 cm wide in the middle region.

When ripe, the fruit breaks off and falls to the ground. The main commercial products extracted from babaçu are the oil, extracted from the seed which corresponds to 6% – 7% of the total weight of the fruit and biomass (resulting from the process).
