This article focuses on the development of bacupari pulp powder (BPP) from Garcinia brasiliensis and the evaluation of its physicochemical, microstructural, and bioactive properties. The study found that BPP is a rich source of fiber and protein, and it has high antioxidant content. The use of BPP as an alternative for the consumption of this underexploited fruit is suggested.
In view of the low exploitation Garcinia brasiliensis and its richness in bioactive compounds, this article is justified by the need to develop a product which adds value to this fruit. The objective was to develop bacupari pulp powder (BPP) in two stages of maturation and to evaluate its physicochemical, microstructural and bioactive properties. Data showed that BPP can be considered as a source of fiber ( expressionpproximexpressiontely equexpressionl to 16 g.100(-1)/ P < 0.05), a result verified via scanning electron microscopy. The immature pulp can be considered as a source of protein, as it contains > 6 g.100(-1). Regarding the antioxidant content, it was found that the ABTS method showed the best result (2449 mu molTE/100 g/P > 0.05) and it was the first time that the bioactive compounds folic acid, trans-ferulic acid, and sinapic acid were identified in this fruit. Therefore, the use of the BPP form is an alternative for the consumption of this underexploited fruit.
