„Açai, which is also named assai, Euterpe oleracea Mart., manaca, and South American plum (Alexandre and others 2004; Sangronis and others 2006), is a native Amazon berry which grows on the açaizeiro tree. Açaizeiro
is a multi-stemmed monoecious palm, and the açaizeiro tree can reach up to thirty meters in height. The mature açai fruit is purple in color and round-shaped with 1 to 1.5 centimeter in diameter. Açai skin is thin and fibrous, and under the skin is a thin layer of edible fruit pulp, whereas the seed contributes most of the fruit’s size (Pozo-Insfran and others 2004). It is not eaten in fresh form but usually macerated with water, and seeds are separated from the fruit pulp. The thick, purple colored aҫai pulp can be consumed directly or further frozen or freeze-dried for other uses (Pacheco-Palencia and others 2007). The aҫai pulp has a creamy texture, greasy mouthfeel, and a hint of nutty flavor. Aҫai is widely used in making beverages, ice creams, jellies, and pies in northern South America. In the U.S., aҫai has been formulated into a variety of products, such as tablets, powders, energy drinks, juices, smoothies, and sorbets…
The objective of this study was to determine the flavor profiles and antioxidant capacity of aҫai puree and aҫai-flavored multifunctional ice creams, containing varying dietary fiber (0, 5, 10, and 15%), probiotics (10
8cfu/ mL), and prebiotics (4%), in addition to aҫai (12%), using headspace-solid-phase microextraction (SPME) coupled with GC/MS. The results showed that (Z)-2-pentenol, hexanal, hexenal isomers, (Z)-3-hexenol, 2-hexenol, styrene, heptanal, benzaldehyde, benzyl alcohol, octenol, octanal, 2-octenal, octanol, nonanal and isocaryophyllene were present in both aҫai puree and aҫai-flavored multifunctional ice creams. Heptanone, 4-decyne and undecanone were only found in ice cream samples but not in the puree, while α-copaene, 2,4-hexadienal and (Z)-linalool oxide were only present in the puree.“
