The manuscript is significant because it demonstrates the presence of lipids, fibers, and antioxidants in high levels in baru almond and the health benefits associ‐ ated with the intake of these compounds in dairy desserts. 1 | INTRODUCTION & Mohanty, 2000). According to Beres et al.

In this intestinal digestive process could affect the bioaccessibility of bioactive context, baru almond has a great importance in Brazil and has generated compounds (Ng & See, 2019) and there are no reports about the impact recent scientific interest due to its nutritional composition, especially of baru ingestion on gastrointestinal transit using experimental model. dietary fibers, which can improve dairy products functionality, creating Gastrointestinal transit can be quantified in rats, by measuring functional foods with health benefits (Bento, Cominetti, Simões Filho, the movement of charcoal, dye, and radiopaque markers (Baggio, & Naves, 2014; Fernandes, Freitas, Czeder, & Naves, 2010; Karaca, Freitas, Rieck, & Marques, 2003).
