Abstract
⺠Cupuassu (T. grandiflorum) liquor is a promising cocoa (T. cacao) liquor substitute. ⺠Chemical composition and in vivo effects of both liquors were similar but not equal. ⺠Cocoa liquor presented higher polyphenol and saturated fatty acid contents. ⺠Lipid profile and body weight of STZ-diabetic rats were improved by both liquors. ⺠Plasma antioxidant capacity of STZ-diabetic rats was improved by both liquors.
