    ABSTRACT

    Background:The antimicrobial effect of oils extracted from Syagrus oleracea (Mart.) to prove the action and obtain data for the future development of therapeutic products. Objectives: The present study was to determine the chemical profile and the antimicrobial potential of oils extracted from Syagrus oleracea(Mart.) Becc. almonds and Speciomerus revoilie (Pic.) larvae to obtain scientific information to prove the action and obtain data for the future development of therapeutic products. Materials and Methods:The separation, identification and quantification of fatty acids in oils extracted from the larvae ofS. revoili(Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae) and almonds of S. oleracea (Arecaceae) were performed by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. The determination of antibacterial activity was performed using microdilution in plates. Results: In the oils extracted from S. revoili and S. oleracea, saturated chain fatty acids, the presence of hexanoic acid (only in almonds), and caprylic acid, capric acid, lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid and those of unsaturated chain, oleic acid (omega-9) and linoleic acid (omega-6).S. revoilioil showed satisfactory results againstEscherichia coli andStaphylococcus aureus.
