Nutritional, Physicochemical and Structural Parameters of Fruits and By-Products for Biotechnological Exploration of Sustainable Goods.

Research Background: Commercialization of (buriti) fruits in Brazil is at an early stage. Herein, we evaluate the nutritional value of pulp, peel and endocarp samples from buriti fruits, perform macroscopic and microscopic evaluations and analyze their physicochemical properties.

Experimental Approach: Size and mass, pH, sugar and protein contents, soluble/insoluble fiber, total titratable acidity and energy value of the samples were analyzed.
