Identification of functional compounds in baru (Dipteryx alata Vog.) nuts: Nutritional value, volatile and phenolic composition, antioxidant activity and antiproliferative effect

•The main volatile compounds in baru nuts are hexanal and 2,5-dimethyl-pyrazine.•Gallic acid esters and gallotannins were the main phenolics of baru nuts.•Baru nut extracts inhibited cell proliferation in HT29 cell spheroids.•Gallic acid and ester derivatives were responsible for the antiproliferative effect.
