Abstract

The passion fruit plays an important role in the fruit national production. It can be consumed raw or as juice and other industrial products. However, passion fruit processing generates a great number of residues. One of them is the peel, which not only represents an environmental problem, but also energy and nutritional waste. Several studies indicate an increase in the nutritional value of food developed with passion fruit peel flour, explained by the high content of fibers, vitamins, and minerals in the peel. Furthermore, some works have shown that the application of passion fruit peel flour in bakery products is feasible and the products have great sensory acceptance. Despite that, the effects of this addition on honey bread have not been evaluated yet. General Purpose. Development of honey bread added with passion fruit peel flour. Approach and Methodology. The honey bread will be elaborated with different proportions of passion fruit peel flour in substitution of wheat flour. These products will be compared with a standard formulation (without passion fruit peel flour) through the difference of control test and acceptance sensory by a 9-point hedonic scale. The formulations considered similar to the standard one and so accepted as this one will be evaluated in terms of chemical composition, physical parameters (texture, color, and specific volume), and microbiological quality.(AU)
