**6. Conclusion**

Açaí (*Euterpe oleracea*) and bacaba (*Oenocarpus bacaba*) are highly consumed fruits in Amazon that come from common palm trees and have remarkable properties. There are many benefits that help increasing their role in the growing market for nutraceuticals. Their extracts have a range of bioactive and polyphenolic components with antioxidant properties that make them new "superfruits"; however, further studies still need to be conducted in order to elucidate all the roles that these fruits can play. Açaí and bacaba represent not only food, but also a real source of health for humans.
