Abstract

This work aims to evaluate the Bromatological characterization of physic nut presscakes in natura and subjected to the process of detoxification. We used FPM- physic nut presscakes, FPMd- physic nut presscakes detoxificated, FPDa- physic nut presscakes detoxicated and autoclaved. These products have been analyzed as to their levels of moisture, crude protein, ether extract, ashes, carbohydrate, metabolizable energy, free amino acids, increments of dietary fibers and crude protein and mineral quantification. The results of qualitative characteristics analysis of presscakes of physic nut demonstrate differences in their composition as the processing applied to detoxification. The levels of crude protein and free amino acids were lower in sharps subject to the detoxification. The detoxification process resulted in an increase of fiber available. Mineral makeup also introduced changes in the presscakes of physic nut detoxification. It is concluded that the process of detoxification of presscakes of physic nut promoted pie increase in the levels of carbohydrates, lipids and fibers.
