A implementação do coco babaçu na produção de alimentos para pessoas intolerantes à lactose e ao glúten

Abstract

Milk and wheat flour are present in people's daily diet and contribute substantially to the body's well-being. However, lactose and gluten, components present in these foods, when ingested by intolerant individuals, can cause deleterious symptoms to well-being, such as abdominal pain and diarrhea. With that in mind, this article raises the possibility of replacing them with babassu coconut mesocarp flour and babassu coconut milk. To this end, a literature review was carried out on lactose and gluten intolerance, as well as their usefulness and nutritional properties.
