The objective of this study is to evaluate the sensory acceptability of pumpkin sweets, submitted to different treatments added with spices. To obtain the sweets, the following treatments were performed: T1: without additions; T2: with clove addition; T3: with cinnamon addition and T4: with clove and cinnamon addition. The microbiological analyses performed in the elaborated products were filamentous fungi and yeasts, Salmonella spp., Coliforms at 35 and 45°C and positive Staphylococcus coagulase. For the sensory evaluation the following attributes were evaluated: appearance, aroma, texture, flavor and overall impression; as well as the acceptance index and purchase intention of the products. The results of the compositions and sensory analysis were submitted to the analysis of variance and the means were compared using the Tukey test at 5% probability. In the sensory analysis all the evaluated attributes (appearance, aroma, texture, flavor and overall impression) of the pumpkin sweets flavored with cinnamon and cloves, obtained average scores between 6 (I liked slightly) and 8 (I liked a lot), indicating good acceptance of the products by the tasters. Regarding the analysis of the acceptance averages, all treatments obtained scores indicating market approval, with higher scores for the treatments with added spices, demonstrating the tasters' preference for the pumpkin sweet with added cloves and cinnamon.
