RESUMO -Para avaliar o potencial do araçá-boi para produção de licores, foi estudada a composição química da polpa e o efeíto de alguns parâmetros do processamento, tais como, tipo de líquido extrator, tempo de maceração, proporção polpa/líquido extrator, proporção xarope/extrato c método de preparo do xarope. O araçá-boi apresentou boas características para o processamento de licor, como o pH ácido, altos teores de acidez titulável, sólidos solúveis e carotcnóides totais. Os parâmetros ideais para obtenção de licor de boa qualidade foram: cinco dias de maceração na proporção de 1:2 (p/v) de polpa:álcool de milho, relação de 1:0,5 (v/v) de xarope:cxtrato na formulação, utilizando-se xarope preparado com dissolução do açúcar sob aquecimento.Palavras-chave: fruto tropical, Eugenia stipitata, composição química, obtenção de licor, avaliação sensorial. Suitability of Amazonian Fruit: Araçá-Boi (Eugenia stiptata McVaugh) for Liquor ProductionABSTRACT -The potential of araçá-boi for liquor processing was studied through fruit pulp composition and the effect of processing parameters, such as: extraction liquid type, maceration time, pulp/extraction liquid ratio, proportion of syrup/extract and syrup processing method. The araçá-boi presents good characteristics for liquor processing, such as, acidic pH, high titrable acidity, soluble solids and total carotenoids contents. For the araçá-boi liquor processing the optimized parameters were five days for maceration time; 1:2 (g/ml) of pulp/extraction liquid ratio at maceration; the 1:0.5 (ml/ml) of syrup/extract ratio at the formulation; preparation of the syrup using heat; utilization of the corn alcohol. With this conditions, a good product is obtained.
