Therapeutical effect of olive oil aggregate to 4-methoxycinnamic acid diester obtained from carnauba (Copernicia prunifera) wax (PCO–C) on dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia, and oxidative stress

Abstract Olive oil is an important food with interesting functional properties and is widely indicated as a hypolipidemic, oxidative stress reliever and hypolipidemic agent due to its chemical structures and biological functions. The present study analyzed the hypoglycaemic, hypolipidemic, technological, and sensory potential of 4-methoxycinnamic acid (PCO–C) diester aggregate olive oil, obtained from the wax powder from carnauba (Copernicia prunifera). Zebrafish was used as an experimental obesity model. After developing obesity, with hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia, fishes were submitted to extra virgin olive oil aggregated to 4-methoxycinnamic acid diester (PCO–C + AZ) or not, for 4 days. Also, the product PCO–C + AZ was submitted to rheological and sensory analysis. The PCO–C + AZ shown a 43% reduction (p
