The physical and chemical analyses were performed relative to volatile acidity, dry extract, density and alcohol degree. The density in all samples was 1.13 g mL-1, volatile acidity 48.54 g 100 mL-1 for the treatment with grain alcohol, 28.43 g 100 mL-1 with spirit sugar cane and 22.09 g 100 mL-1 for the tangerine spirit treatment. The dry extract ranged from 431 g L-1 for grain alcohol treatment, 446.26 g L-1 for sugar cane spirit treatment and 443.84 g L-1 for the tangerine spirit treatment, the alcohol degree ranged from 18.84, 20.01 and 19.67 ¡ãGL among the treatments. We accomplished an acceptance test through sensory analysis of the following attributes: alcoholic taste, fruit flavor, sweetness and overall impression. The liquor based on grain alcohol produced the highest mean regarding all attributes (6.32, 6.66, 6.34 e 6.26for taste alcoholic, fruit flavor, sweetness and overall impression, respectively), but without significant difference among the treatments. In conclusion, the tangerine peel liquor made using the own fruit spirit is a viable alternative for the total use of the fruit and can be a source of income for small farmers. Nevertheless, further studies are necessary to develop of this product. O presente estudo foi desenvolvido com o objetivo de produzir e caracterizar um licor de casca de tangerina com tr¨ºs bases alco¨®licas (¨¢lcool de cereais, aguardente de cana-de-a ¨²car e aguardente de mexerica). Realizaram-se an¨¢lises f¨ªsicas e qu¨ªmicas em rela o ¨¤ acidez vol¨¢til, extrato seco, densidade e grau alco¨®lico. A densidade em todas as amostras foi de 1,13 g mL-1, acidez vol¨¢til de 48,54 g 100 mL-1 para o tratamento com ¨¢lcool de cereais, 28,43 g 100 mL-1 para aguardente de cana-de-a ¨²car e 22,09 g 100 mL-1 para a aguardente de mexerica. O extrato seco variou de 431 g L-1 para otratamento com ¨¢lcool de cereais, 446,26 g L-1 para o tratamento com aguardente de canade- a ¨²car e 443,84 g L-1 para a aguardente de mexerica, o grau alco¨®lico variou de 18,84; 20,01 e 19,67 oGL entre os tratamentos. Realizou-se o teste de aceita o por meio da an¨¢lisesensorial dos atributos sabor alco¨®lico, sabor frutal, sabor doce e impress o global. O licor ¨¤ base de ¨¢lcool de cereais obteve as maiores m¨¦dias (6,32, 6,66, 6,34 e 6,26 para sabor alco¨®lico, sabor frutal, sabor doce e impress o global, respectivamente) em todos osatributos, por¨¦m estatisticamente n o foi encontrada diferen a entre os tratamen %K liquor %K sugar cane spirit %K tangerine spirit %K grain alcohol %K licor %K aguardente de cana %K aguardente de mexerica %K ¨¢lcool de cereais %U periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/ActaSciTechnol/article/view/7873/7873
