The Brazil nut (Bertholletia excelsa H.B.K) has often been discussed due to its biological potential for human health. An oilseed characteristic of the Amazon region with little incentive for excellent production and harvesting. It is still mostly produced by hand and is a source of income for many. This work aims to evaluate the residue called torta after technological processing of milk extraction. Using the methods of the Adolf Lutz Institute (2008) for food analysis, physicochemical data was obtained in g/100g: moisture 3.2; ash 4.2; lipids 63.4; proteins 13.0; carbohydrates 16.2; caloric ...
The Brazil nut (Bertholletia excelsa H.B.K) has often been discussed due to its biological potential for human health. An oilseed characteristic of the Amazon region with little incentive for excellent production and harvesting. It is still mostly produced by hand and is a source of income for many. This work aims to evaluate the residue called torta after technological processing of milk extraction. Using the methods of the Adolf Lutz Institute (2008) for food analysis, physicochemical data was obtained in g/100g: moisture 3.2; ash 4.2; lipids 63.4; proteins 13.0; carbohydrates 16.2; caloric value 687.4 kcal/100g. The results show a high protein value and a high calorie value due to the high lipid content, most of which is linoleic fatty acid, a fatty acid of relevance to humans. Studies show the high presence of selenium in Brazil nuts, which is present in total minerals. It is an excellent antioxidant and cancer fighter, and should be included in the diet. The cake can be usedto make new food products or as a supplement.
