Abstract

Gabiroba (Campomanesia spp.), a fruit of  cerrado, having sweet flavor, juicy pulp and widely used in the production of sweets, ice cream, liquor and other products. The objective of this work was to use gabiroba pulp in the development of chocolate bars, adding dehydrated pulp of gabiroba, and to verify its acceptance by conducting sensorial analysis. Two formulations of bars of chocolates were elaborated, using in the first blend of milk chocolate and bitter chocolate, and in the second white chocolate. A quantitative sensory analysis was performed, applying the acceptance test and purchase intention to 105 testers. The results obtained by the calculation of the Acceptance Index (IA) showed that the color and aroma attributes obtained higher AI for the chocolate bars added with dehydrated gabioba pulp. White chocolate bars, added with dehydrated gabiroba pulp, obtained higher AI only for the color attribute. For the intention of purchase, the greater part of the tasters replied that "certainly would buy" or "probably would buy" the two formulations. The addition of dehydrated gabiroba pulp in chocolates proved to be viable, sensorially, with good percentages of purchase intention, indicating a possible inclusion in the market of a new gabiroba product.
