Blend of Baru (Dipteryx alata Vog.) By-Products as Nutritive and Healthy Food Ingredients: Chemical Composition, Functional Properties and Application in Plant-Based Burger.

The chemical composition, antioxidant capacity and functional properties of mixtures of baru by-products, named baru food ingredients (BFI), were investigated and applied in a plant-based burger formulation. BFI were prepared from wasted baru by-products - partially defatted baru nut cake and baru pulp plus peel. A plant-based burger was developed and its chemical composition, antioxidant capacity, cooking and texture parameters were determined.
