Nutritional composition of the fruits from Midwestern Cerrado: cajuzinho do cerrado (Anacardium humile A.St.-Hil.), curriola (Pouteria ramiflora (Mart.) Radlk) and inharé (Brosimum gaudichaudii Trécul)
This study aimed at performing the nutritional characterization (moisture, protein, lipid, ashes andtotal sugar), quantification of the Total Energy Value (TEV) and determination of carotenoid content ofcajuzinho do cerrado (Anacardium humile A.St.-Hil.), curriola (Pouteria ramiflora (Mart.) Radlk)...

| Sumario: | This study aimed at performing the nutritional characterization (moisture, protein, lipid, ashes andtotal sugar), quantification of the Total Energy Value (TEV) and determination of carotenoid content ofcajuzinho do cerrado (Anacardium humile A.St.-Hil.), curriola (Pouteria ramiflora (Mart.) Radlk) and inharé(Brosimum gaudichaudii Trécul), of the Midwestern Cerrado. Aiming at offering a nutritious alternative ofdiet and motivating the reuse of foods, the pulps and peels of fruits were analyzed. Cajuzinho do cerradoshowed expressive amount of total carotenoids in the pulps (5.95 mg/100g) and peels (6.55 mg/100g). Thecurriola presented a considerable amount of ash (0.66%) in the pulps and a significant amount of TotalEnergy Value (80.96 Kcal/100g). On the other hand, the inharé had a high amount of protein in the peels(3.76%) and pulps (3.19%). These results showed that pulps and peels of the analyzed fruits can be used assource of nutrients or as ingredients in the manufacture of new functional foods. This is the first reportwhich evaluates the nutritional potential and total carotenoids in peels of fruits from Midwestern Cerrado. |
