Introduction: The Cerrado presents a large diversity of native fruits, many of which are edible and considered sources of nutrients, especially the mama-cadela (Brosimum gaudichaudii Tréc). Objective: To analyze the chemical composition, some bioactive compounds and physico-chemical parameters of mama-cadela. Methodology: Mama-cadela was obtained from a supplier located in Uberlândia (MG), the laboratory analyses were performed according to methodologies proposed by the Association of Official Analytical Chemists and by the Adolfo Lutz Institute. The analyses were performed in triplicate and means and standard deviations were obtained. Results: Mama-cadela presented (wet weight): 77.63% moisture; 1.63% proteins; 0.60% lipids; 0.82% ashes; 13.35% “available” carbohydrates; 5.11% dietary fibers; pH 5.96; 5.85% acidity; 28.85% antioxidant activity; 14.92 mg% vitamin C; and 178.65mg GAE% phenolic compounds. Conclusion: Mama-cadela stood out in the content of dietary fibers and phenolic compounds. It may be inserted into the diet of the Cerrado populations, which have access to this fruit, contributing to a healthy diet and ensuring food and nutrition security.
