The pineapple of the cultivar 'Pearl' is very popular in the Brazilian domestic market due to its pulp being juicy and tasty. The work aimed to elaborate artisanal products (jelly and sweet pastry) flavored with chamomile flower and cinnamon stick, and to evaluate their sensory characteristics. To obtain the products, the following formulations were prepared (F1: 30% pineapple pulp; 35% sugar; 15% glucose syrup; 20% passion fruit albedo; F2: 30% pineapple pulp; 35% sugar; 15% glucose syrup; 19.95% passion fruit albedo; 0.05% dehydrated chamomile flower and F3: 30% pineapple pulp; 35% sugar; 15% glucose syrup; 19.9% passion fruit albedo; 0.1% cinnamon stick), concentrated pulps and with / without particles were added depending on the content of soluble solids, the amount of sugar sufficient to raise 65 (jelly) and 70 ° Brix (sweet pastry). The microbiological analyzes performed on the pulps and elaborated artisanal products were filamentous fungi and yeasts, Salmonella spp., Coliforms at 35 and 45 ° C and positive coagulase Staphylococcus. For sensory evaluation, acceptability tests were performed for the following parameters: appearance, aroma, texture, flavor and overall impression; as well as the acceptance index and the purchase intention of the products. The results of the sensorial analyzes of the elaborated products were submitted to the analysis of variance through the Tukey test at 5% probability. The results verified in the pineapple pulps and in the elaborated products, indicated absence of microorganisms for 25 g of sample. All parameters evaluated in the sensory acceptance test obtained average scores between 7 (I liked it moderately) and 8 (I liked it a lot), indicating acceptance and intention to buy the products by the tasters. According to the results observed in the sensory evaluation, the products can become a technological option for pineapple fruits due to the high acceptability (97.48 to 98.45), as well as an alternative form of income for the small producer in the Southeastern region of Pará.
