The extraction of baru oil from almonds, generates the partially defatted cake. The use of this coproduct in bakery products reduces wastage of materials and nutrients, thereby improving nutritional aspects, and contributing to a sustainable environment. The aim of this study was to characterize the physico-chemical properties of crackers made with oil and partially defatted baru cake as partial substitutes for olive oil and wheat flour, respectively. The formulations presented interesting nutritional benefits to consumers, as they can be considered as a source of dietary fiber (13.58 g/100 g), magnesium (61.76 mg/30 g) and zinc (1.72 mg/30 g) and high in manganese (1.55 mg/30 g) and iron (4.56 mg/30 g) according to values established by Brazilian legislation, in addition, they have an interesting content of proteins (19.55 g/100 g) and lipids (19.24 g/100 g). The use of baru almond coproducts in savory crackers might be a good alternative to add nutrients that provide nutritional benefits to consumers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
