Abstract
Enriched bread with passion fruit peel flour had higher fiber content when compared to standard bread, so it can be concluded that the use of passion fruit peel in the manufacture of flour for bread production is an alternative to avoid the disposal of this waste by producers of juices and enrich many foodstuffs nutritionally.
Highlights
The genus Passiflora brings together about 400 species of passion fruit, most originally from the Neotropics (America), with about 120 native to Brazil [1]
The physiological and metabolic effects of the adequate intake of dietary fiber in the prevention of many chronic degenerative diseases are well established in the scientific community [11]. Their intake by the Brazilian population was below the recommended level, probably due to the replacement of natural food, fiber sources, processed foods and nutritionally poor [12]. The importance of this theme is demonstrated by the fact promote the use of parts of the food with the potential nutritional value that are usually not used and can add value to waste, as the passion fruit peel, and several preventive health campaigns have demonstrated the need to supply the insufficient intake of dietary fiber, motivating the industry to develop foods enriched with fiber, adding nutritional value to their products, as well as contribute to the promotion of population health [13]
Some authors evaluated the composition of biscuits made with passion fruit peel flour in terms of crude fiber

It is important that new ingredients and formulations are studied in order to expand this food segment, serving always the sensory attributes demanded by the consumer
