Pereskia aculeata Miller, also known in Brazil as ora-pro-nobis, has a high content of protein, fiber and minerals, making it an alternative to more nutritious and healthy foods. The objective of this work was to produce and evaluate cakes with different concentrations (10, 20, 30%) of ora-pro-nobis flour (FO) associated with reduction in oil level (5, 10, 15%), according to the experimental design 2², where the independent variables are oil (X1) and ora-pro-nóbis flour (X2), and the dependent variables are the physicochemical analysis. The physicochemical and functional properties of the cakes were determined. The addition of ora-pro-nobis flour increased the protein, fiber, ash, calcium, sodium, magnesium, potassium, and iron. It also improved the crumb color (parameter a* and ΔE) and the elasticity of cake products. Cakes produced with up to 30% FO showed the best nutritional properties. The cake with addition of 20% and 10% FO and up 5% of reduction in oil content showed good sensory acceptability, with FO being a nutritious alternative for application in food products.
Keywords: Pereskia aculeate, cake, physicochemical characterization.
