Resumo
Anemia due to iron deficiency is the most common in the world being characterized as a significant public health issue. Therefore,
its prevention and treatment are considered important before it becomes either chronic or grievous; the interventions with
superior potential are the medical supplementation with iron salts as well as food mineral enhancement. The objectives of this
study were to develop fermented dairy beverages supplemented with iron and added by Cerrado fruit pulps: cagaita (Eugenia
dysenterica), coquinho-azedo (Butia capitata), tamarindo (Tamarindus indica), and umbu (Spondias tuberosa). In addition, the
research intended to evaluate the acceptance of these beverages by children and adolescents from public schools in the city
of Montes Claros (MG). The methodology consisted in the production of dairy beverages followed by the evaluation of their
quality through physicochemical and microbiological analyses. Posteriorly, children and adolescents assessed the sensorial
acceptance. The analyses performed presented satisfactory results for physicochemical and microbiological properties regarding
the acceptance of the product. The cagaita and coquinho azedo based dairy beverages were the most accepted whether compared
with tamarindo and umbu beverages. The fermented dairy beverage supplemented with iron and added by Cerrado fruits
come up as a feasible alternative for dietary supplementation, and can promote beneficial effects in human health due to their
sensorial acceptance.
