摘要
scientific literature presents few studies about fruits of the amazonia, like murici, and yours chemical characteristics should be studied. therefore, amino acid profiles of the bacuri, cupuaˋu and murici pulps were determined under different values of ph (3.3, 5.8, 8.0 and 12.0) with heating (12 hours/100 oc, with stirring and refluxing) or without heating. glucose, fructose, sucrose and ph values also were obtained in the pulps without heating. all nutrients were analised by hplc. the phs were: 3.2, 3.6 and 3.35 in the bacuri, cupuaˋu and murici pulps, respectively. sucrose (38.34% and 36.93%) was the major carbohydrate while fructose (8.93% and 12.63%) and glucose (9.03% and 11.65%) shown similar percentages in the cupuaˋu and bacuri pulps. murici pulp was almost free of sucrose (0.57%), but not of fructose (11.51%) or glucose (11.39%). in the pulps without heating the major amino acids were: glutamic acid (46.6 mg/kg), aspartic acid (28.8 mg/kg) and arginine (25.3 mg/kg) in the bacuri pulp; aspartic acid (56.3 mg/kg), glutamic acid (44.0 mg/kg) and alanine (24.2 mg/kg) in the cupuaˋu pulp; proline (73.5 mg/kg), glutamic acid (23.7 mg/kg) and aspartic acid (23.5 mg/kg) in the murici pulp. the heating of the 3 pulps decresead the concentration of all amino acids. the medium strongly alkaline (ph 12) produced more degradation of the amino acids than others phs. lysine was more sensible to the heating than others amino acids in ph 12.
