Cerrado is a vegetation known as the Brazilian savanna. Ot has great relevance in the Brazilian scenario, constituting the second largest vegetation of the country, occupying around 22% of the national territory (Carrazza & Ávila, 2010; Ratter et al., 1997). Ot is a rich and globally distinguished biome due to its extension, ecological diversity, carbon reserves, and hydrological role in the South-American continent, besides its social-cultural diversity (Carrazza & Ávila, 2010). The fruit species found in this vegetation have great agricultural and technological potential, and are endowed with high nutritional value, besides having very singular characteristics, such as the attributes of color, flavor, and aroma (Almeida, 1998; Almeida & Silva, 1994; Souza et al., 2012).
