摘要：The Brazil nut (Bertholletia Excelsa) is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) such as oleic acid, linoleic acid and linolenic acid. The high content of these acids makes it a perishable food, and thus susceptible to lipid oxidation reactions that modify the physical, chemical, and sensory properties of the product, thus reducing its shelf life and added value. One of the solutions found in the literature is the application of active packaging, such as films and coatings that are made from biopolymers such as proteins, polysaccharides or lipids, which have a matrix of easy interaction with additives that can add new functions in the production of antioxidant, antimicrobial, low water vapor permeability packaging, and among other activities. The present literature review has the objective of searching for articles and presenting the results of the application of films and coating on oilseeds, besides discussing a little about what lipidic oxidation is, what favors the reaction and how to minimize it. As the result of the research, it was conclude that the application of films and coatings with antioxidant compounds helps to protect against lipid oxidation in oilseeds, contributing to the shelf life of the product, while maintaining the sensory characteristics that characterize them as foods of high nutritional value.
