Summary: | Increased fruit consumption due its protective effect on the organism is accompanied by the development of the processing industry of these products. The aim of this work was to optimize fruit pulp‐based beverage formulations from the murici and tapereba Amazon region, taking into account their sensory acceptance and antioxidant activity. Total soluble solid content, reducing sugar content, titratable acidity contents, pH, and ascorbic acid content were determined in pulps and formulations. The total content phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity were also evaluated. A 22 factorial experiment was formulated to optimize ingredients for the production of murici and tapereba fruit drinks. The murici pulp had higher acidity and higher ascorbic acid content. The analysis of phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity presented higher quantity in tapereba pulp. Tapereba‐based beverages had better acceptance by the evaluated criteria. Fruit‐based beverages murici and tapereba are a well‐accepted product and have important nutritional characteristics.
Antioxidant activity high in fruit pulp murici and tapereba may be associated with their vitamin C and phenolic compounds content, as well as the presence of carotenoids in their composition. Murici and tapereba beverages are a well‐accepted product with significant nutritional features. |
