Abstract The study aimed to develop a mango ice cream (Mangifera indica L. cv. Bourbon) added with whey protein and evaluate its acceptability, using a 9 points hedonic scale. The participants were 157 tasters not affected by cancer and 75 patients undergoing chemotherapy at the Cancer Hospital in Cuiabá, in the state of Mato Grosso. The last group also evaluated the ice cream through sensory and well-being perceptions using the “Check all that apply” - CATA method. The ingredients for the ice cream formulation were mango, passion fruit, whey protein, and unflavored coconut oil. The attributes for the overall assessment established by tasters not affected by cancer were as follows: aroma, appearance, flavor, texture, and overall impression. The mango ice cream was free of contamination, with 4.6% of protein. In fact, 96.8% of participants reported liking the taste of ice cream. Even though the ice cream did not have added sugar, 87.26% of the participants rated the ideal sweetness level. Furthermore, more than 95% of them reported that they would buy the product. Regarding the tests carried out with patients undergoing chemotherapy treatment, 32% said the ice cream relieved their symptoms of nausea and 90% responded that they liked it in the affective test, validating the acceptability of the ice cream. The study proved the healthiness and sanity of consuming this ice cream, which is a well-accepted food, bringing benefits to patients undergoing the chemotherapy treatment. Still, above all, it used a fruit that has a regional and comfort food appeal, since for many patients, consuming mango ice cream brought back memories of their childhood.

RESUMOO bioma Cerrado apresenta uma variedade de espécies frutíferas detentoras de características sensoriais peculiares pouco exploradas científica e comercialmente. Este trabalho teve como objetivo a caracterização química, física e nutricional dos frutos de curriola (Pouteria ramiflora), gabiroba (Campomanesia cambessedeana) e murici (Byrsonima verbascifolia), nativos do Cerrado brasileiro. A gabiroba apresentou elevada quantidade de vitamina C (383,33 mg/100g), bem como uma proporção significativa de polpa (81,52%). Por sua vez, a curriola apresentou teores consideráveis de fibra bruta (8,18%), enquanto o murici apresentou uma quantidade considerável de pectina (746,81 mg/100g), lipídeos (2,31%) e um expressivo potencial antioxidante (56 mg DPPH/g fruto). Desta forma, os resultados obtidos servem como base para pesquisas futuras no sentido da comprovação da presença de compostos bioativos e elaboração de produtos visando à agregação de valor aos frutos.

ABSTRACTThe Cerrado biome features a variety of fruit species with peculiar sensory characteristics, but little explored scientifically and commercially. This study aimed the chemical, physical and nutritional characterization of curriola (Pouteria ramiflora), gabiroba (Campomanesia cambessedeana) and murici (Byrsonima verbascifolia), native fruits of the Brazilian Cerrado. Gabiroba had a high amount of Vitamin C (383.33 mg/100g) and showed a significant proportion of pulp (81.52%). Curriola showed considerable crude fiber (8.18%), while murici had a considerable amount of pectin (746.81 mg/100 g), lipids (2.31 %) and expressive antioxidant potential (56 mg DPPH / g fruit). These results can be used as a basis for future researches in order to improve bioactive compounds and manufacturing processes of those fruits.

A mangaba (Hancornia speciosa) destaca-se pelo ótimo potencial de exploração econômica e pesquisas têm sugerido resultados relevantes em relação ao valor nutricional e funcional deste alimento. Portanto, o objetivo deste estudo foi caracterizar química e físico-quimicamente os frutos de mangaba colhidos na região do Médio Araguaia. Foi avaliada a composição química, atividade antioxidante, compostos voláteis, estudo fitoquímico preliminar de compostos fenólicos e o potencial citotóxico de extratos etanólicos do frutos contra Artemia salina. O pH, a acidez total titulável e o valor de açúcares redutores concluem que a mangaba possui características apropriadas tanto para consumo in natura quanto para processamento. Entre os valores médios obtidos, os frutos apresentaram alto teor de fibra e um baixo valor calórico. A análise de potencial antioxidante revelou uma atividade significativa e, na análise de compostos voláteis, ésteres representaram a classe predominante. O resultado do ensaio fitoquímico revelou que fenois, flavonoides e taninos estavam presentes no extrato etanólico de mangaba e uma atividade significativa no ensaio citotóxico foi observada.

The mangaba (Hancornia speciosa) stands out and has a great potential for economic exploitation and researches have suggested relevant results regarding the nutritional and functional value of this food. Therefore, the objective of this study was to chemically and physicochemically characterize the mangaba fruit harvested in the Middle Araguaia region. It was evaluated the chemical composition, antioxidant activity, volatile compounds, preliminary photochemical studies of phenolic components and the cytotoxic potential of ethanolic extract fruits against Artemia salina. The mean pH, the total titratable acidity and the value for reducing sugars conclude that the mangaba possesses the characteristics appropriate for both fresh consumption and for processing. Between the mean values measured, the fruits presented high fiber content and a low caloric value. The analysis of the antioxidant potential revealed a significant activity and in the volatile compounds analysis, esters were the major class presents. The result of the phytochemical screening revealed that phenols, flavonoids and tannins were present in the ethanolic extract of mangaba and a significant activity in the cytotoxicity assay was observed.
