Carelle JS, Silva GR da, Ribeiro RV, Vicente Neto J, Santos Érica L dos. 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). Rev Inst Adolfo Lutz [Internet]. 2021 Sep. 30 [cited 2024 Jul. 22];80:1-8,e37247.

Abstract
This study aimed at performing the nutritional characterization (moisture, protein, lipid, ashes and
total sugar), quantification of the Total Energy Value (TEV) and determination of carotenoid content of
cajuzinho 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 of
diet and motivating the reuse of foods, the pulps and peels of fruits were analyzed. Cajuzinho do cerrado
showed expressive amount of total carotenoids in the pulps (5.95 mg/100g) and peels (6.55 mg/100g). The
curriola presented a considerable amount of ash (0.66%) in the pulps and a significant amount of Total
Energy 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 as
source of nutrients or as ingredients in the manufacture of new functional foods. This is the first report
which evaluates the nutritional potential and total carotenoids in peels of fruits from Midwestern Cerrado.
