The growing demand for healthier and functional foods has driven the development of fish-based products enriched with natural ingredients that enhance nutritional quality and oxidative stability. This study evaluated the effect of incorporating bacupari peel flour (0, 0.75, 1.5, and 2.25%) into Nile tilapia burgers prepared from filet and mechanically separated meat. Proximate composition, antioxidant capacity (DPPH and ABTS), physicochemical and technological parameters, texture profile, microbiological safety, fatty acid profile during refrigerated storage, and sensory acceptance were determined. The flour exhibited a high fiber content (58.6%) and strong antioxidant activity (>94% inhibition for both DPPH and ABTS assays). Its inclusion significantly increased the fiber content of the burgers (from 3.23% to 6.43%), reduced pH and cooking loss, and enhanced the antioxidant capacity of the products. Changes in color and increased hardness were observed at higher inclusion levels. All treatments complied with microbiological standards and maintained acceptable sensory properties. Although an initial increase in fatty acids was observed with flour addition, a reduction occurred after 14 days of refrigerated storage. Bacupari flour demonstrated potential as a functional ingredient for nutritional enrichment and technological improvement of fish burgers.
