Abstract: Unconventional food plants (UFPs) are species that generally grow spontaneously on a large scale and that are not traditionally included in the diet of a population. Mangará or banana blossom (Musa spp.) is a tassel of the bunch of this species, potentially edible and with nutrient content that justify its consumption. The insertion of new food product on the market requires the recognition and detailing of the raw materials that comprise it, in addition to confirmation of 2 acceptance by a public, representative of the final consumer, through tests based on sensory analysis. Thus, the objective of this study was to develop and sensorially analyze an antipasti with mangará, aiming to propose an alternative for the use of UFPs in food, producing nutritious recipes, low cost and easy to access. Two preparations of antipasti included 40% of mangará were developed, one of which with the addition of 6% of white raisins. A sensory analysis was carried out from the acceptance and purchase intention test, with 41 untrained tasters. The results showed on a hedonic scale from 1 to 9, antipasto with the addition of raisins: appearance (7.9), color (7.9), aroma (8.3), flavor (8.1), texture (8.0), overall rating (8.1). Antipasto without the addition of raisins: appearance (7.9), color (7.9), aroma (8.3), flavor (8.4), texture (8.0), overall rating (8.3). According to the statistical data, the two samples do not differ from each other by the significant test (p>0.05). For a product to be considered accepted, in terms of its sensory properties, it is necessary to obtain an acceptability index of at least 70%. In general, it appears that both products were well accepted by the tasters, demonstrating the potential for income generation in family agriculture by the products. In the intention to purchase on a scale of 1 to 5, the results obtained were 4.4 and 4.3 for antipasti with added raisin and antipasti without added raisin, respectively. There was no statistical difference regarding the evaluated attributes and purchase intention between the two antipasti samples, both being well accepted. In average consumption, the results were the same for the two samples - 3.2, on a scale of 1 to 5. Regarding knowledge about products made from mangará, 34% said they knew the products. Mangará antipasto is an alternative for use and constitutes an innovative product with potential acceptance in the market.
