This study developed a new energy bar using the astringent 'Rojo Brillante' variety of persimmons to address postharvest losses. The bar was formulated with dehydrated persimmons, walnuts, hazelnuts, and chia seeds to enhance their nutritional profile. The proximate composition was evaluated and the mechanical and optical properties, soluble tannins, carotenoids, and antioxidant activities were monitored during storage. In addition, in vitro gastrointestinal digestion was performed to determine the recovery index of the bioactive compounds. The results showed that the formulated energy bar contained higher levels of healthy fats, proteins, and fibers than other fruit energy bars. The mechanical properties of dehydrated persimmon effectively supported the consistency of the bar, eliminating the need for hydrocolloids or syrups. During storage, soluble tannin content decreased, mitigating astringency issues commonly found in persimmon products, whereas carotenoid levels and antioxidant activity remained stable. In vitro digestion analysis revealed a higher recovery index for soluble tannins (180.08%) than carotenoids (9.87%). This persimmon-based energy bar offers a sustainable and nutritious option for the snack industry, catering to consumer preferences for natural products while contributing to the reduction of agricultural waste. |
