Abstract

Materials and methods Materials and reagentsWhole fruits from Euterpe precatória and dreg and seed (residues from processing) were donated by the FastAçai ® Brazilian company. The whole fruits were analyzed for morphology, such as mass, transversal diameter, and length. The peel+pulp (PP) was obtained by manual pulping without the use of maceration to preserve nutrients and bioactive compounds. The dreg (FD) and the fresh seed (FSE) were divided into three lots: one lot for analysis of soluble solids, pH, acidity, and color; the second
