F. S. P.  aBiotechnological potential of the Carapa guianensis, Bertholletia excelsa and Copaifera spp. oils.h[electronic resource]  c2019  aThe use of vegetable species for treatment or prevention of diseases is one of the most ancient medicine techniques in humanity. In Amazon rainforest, there are numerous of plant species that possess biotechnological potential, and due to this, this study aimed at carrying out a bibliographic review describing the biotechnological potential in Carapa guianensis, Bertholletia excels, and Copaifera spp. oils. This study is a systematic review of literature in the databases: SCIELO, VHL and PUBMED, by using the descriptors: C. guianensis oil, B. excelsa oil and Copaifera spp. After the selection, 87 articles were selected; 48 on C. guianensis, 9 on B. excels, and 30 on Copaifera spp. Oil seeds from Amazon rainforest possess a good biotechnological potential to be explored. This review has shown that C. guianensis and Copaifera spp. are strong candidates for the search of new insecticide, antiparasitict, anti-inflammatory and healing products. Copaifera spp. has also shown to be promising for the production of antibiotic and antifungic medicines, and C. guianensis for acaricide drugs. Future studies are indicated to deepen the knowledge already described and to investigate new biotechnological potentialities of Amazonian oil seeds. However, for this to happen, greater financial support is required from the Brazilian government and agencies, thus increasing the level of research in the region, which will consequently maximize the likelihood of new product discovery.  aBrazil nuts  aCopaifera  aEssential oils  aMedicinal plants  aNontimber forest products  aTraditional medicine  aAndiroba  aBertholletia Excelsa  aCarapa Guianensis  aCastanha do Para  aCopaíba  aÓleo Essencial  aPlanta Medicinal  aAceites esenciales  aCastanha do brasil  aLiterature review  aMedicina tradicional  aNuez del Brasil  aPlantas medicinales  aProduto florestal não madeireiro (PFNM)  aRevisão bibliográfica  aRevisión bibliográfica1 aMENEGUETTI, D.
