Abstract: The growing interest in sustainable raw materials has led to a significant rise in demand for Amazonian vegetable oils, such as pracaxi ( Pentaclethra macroloba (Willd.) Kuntze) and patauá ( Oenocarpus bataua ). This study examines the patterns of their usage in scientific publications between 2010 and 2023, emphasizing their potential in three key areas: food, cosmetics, and mineral processing. The methodology employed is the Systematic Literature Network Analysis (SLNA), which integrates Systematic Literature Review (SLR) with Bibliographic Network Analysis. We identified sixty-one scientific articles from the Scopus database, with 32 meeting the criteria for Bibliometric Analysis. Using the VOSviewer program (version 1.6.20), we performed a keyword co-occurrence analysis to create bibliometric maps. These maps provided a clear depiction of the main research areas and how they have evolved over time in relation to these oilseeds. To complement the descriptive analyses, the Bibliometrix R package (version 4.4.1) was used to extract bibliographic information. This methodology effectively identifies emerging research sectors and provides a solid foundation for future studies on the Amazon bioeconomy.
