Among all the plant species found in the Peruvian Amazon we highlight the palm trees of Oenocarpus bataua (ungurahui) and Oenocarpus mapora (cinnamon). However, the pulp and fruits of palm trees have been attracting interest due to the lack of information on the assessment of their nutritional characteristics and the benefits they bring to health. In view of this, the present study intends to bromatologically evaluate the integral pulps of Oenocarpus bataua (ungurahui) and Oenocarpus mapora (cinnamon), through the centesimal analysis (moisture, ash, protein, lipids, carbohydrates and energy), physicochemical (pH, acid), phenolic compounds (flavonoids and anthocyanins), antioxidant capacity (ABTS and DPPH) and minerals (Ca, K, Mn and Zn). We observed that the coloration of both fruits is similar but the nutritional compositions differ from each other. Likewise, the integral pulp of Oenocarpus mapora (cinamillo) is remarkable in protein and carbohydrates; on the other hand, the integral pulp of Oenocarpus bataua (ungurahui) has a high lipid content. Regarding phenolic compounds, both fruits contain high amounts that exceed the recommended intake values of 1g / day and, therefore, have antioxidant capacity. Regarding minerals, both integral pulps could be considered as “High” in Mn and Zn and “sources” of Ca and K. of minerals that we can consider in the adaptation of diets that require significant amounts of minerals according to the nutritional objectives. Therefore, this study marks a milestone in the study and evaluation of these Amazonian fruits.
