Caryodendron orinocense, Karst., is a tree that grows along the eastern base of the Andes mountains in Venezuela, Ecuador, and Colombia. It is known in Venezuela as 'Nuez de Barinas, nuez or nogal de Barquisimeto' and in other countries as 'inchi', 'taque', 'abay' or 'palo de nuez'. The oil extracted from the 'nuts' (seeds) is edible. The objective of this study was to assess the potential use of the oil extracted from the seeds in cosmetics. The organoleptic characteristics, some physical (viscosity, specific density, extensibility, UV absorbance), and chemical (fatty acid profile, titratable acidity, saponification index, unsaponifiable matter and peroxide value) characteristics, were determined by official methods. The results show a high polyunsaturated fatty acid content (75.13%) and good physical, chemical and toxicological characteristics appropriate for use in cosmetics. It was concluded that the Caryodendron oil should be useful in cosmetic formulations.
卡里敦木，是一种生长在委内瑞拉、厄瓜多尔和哥伦比亚安第斯山脉东部的树木。在委内瑞拉，它被称为“巴利纳斯核桃、巴利纳斯胡桃或巴利纳斯山胡桃”，在其他国家则被称为“inchi”、“taque”、“abay”或“palo de nuez”。从“坚果”（种子）中提取的油是可食用的。本研究的目的是评估从种子中提取的油在化妆品中的潜在用途。通过官方方法测定了感官特性、一些物理特性（粘度、比重、延展性、紫外线吸收率）和化学特性（脂肪酸组成、酸值、皂化指数、不皂化物和过氧化物值）。结果表明，该油具有很高的多不饱和脂肪酸含量（75.13%），且具有良好的物理、化学和毒理学特性，适合用于化妆品。因此，可以得出结论，卡里敦木油在化妆品配方中应该是有用的。
