Abstract
In the state of Pará, the exotic fruit palm trees açaí (Euterpe oleracea) and bacaba (Oenocarpus bacaba Mart) present in the Amazon and Cerrado biome, the largest producer and consumer of bacaba pulp and its derivatives is the state of Pará. The objective of this work is to determine the water content, specific mass and angle of repose of the bacaba seed. The study was developed in the agricultural engineering laboratory, at the Federal Rural University of Amazônia-UFRA, Campus Tomé-Açu, the following physical properties were determined: water content, specific mass and breathing angle before and after drying. It was concluded that the analyzed material presented different physical properties before and after drying and presents a good fluidity angle.
