ESTUDO DE POTENCIAL ALIMENTAR DE PLANTAS ALIMENTÍCIAS NÃO CONVENCIONAIS NO SUDESTE GOIANO

Abstract

Unconventional food plants are part of the culture of people in several regions of Brazil and were previously the basis of food for communities, today called traditional, but they were lost with the process of industrialization and the change in eating habits. Currently, with the concern to improve the quality of food, the cultivation and studies of these plants have been rescued. In view of this, we aim with this study to propose a ranking of PANC's with greater cultural expression in the state of Goiás obtained through the application of an online questionnaire and for the five cited as most expressive to generate a distribution model in the region of South America. discussions that raise the scientific and cultural importance of these plants. Among the first five most cited are taioba, yam, saffron, hibiscus and ora-pro-nóbis, thus generating a distribution model where the five species showed high suitability in South America. if you notice that there is a certain degree of recognition of the term PANC's, however, most are still unknown or underused. Among the five most cited in this study, it was confirmed that there is a good suitability of the plants for Brazil.
