Methods of protein extraction from house crickets (Acheta domesticus) for food ...

Global population is projected to reach 9.1 billion by 2050, emphasizing the need for increased food production. Edible insects, such as house crickets (Acheta domesticus), emerged as promising due to higher nutritional value and efficient feed conversion rates compared to conventional protein sources. Incorporating insect powders into new food products can improve consumer acceptance but often leads to poor te...

Osmotic dehydration: an emerging technology applied to the fruit and vegetable ...

The current unsustainable production and consumption patterns are one of the drivers for Bioeconomy strategy implementation. The horticultural industry produces quantities of by-products and waste whose valorisation, through innovation, enhances new products and production processes development. The aim of this work was to develop new dehydrated food products from horticultural by-products, pumpkin, and courget...

AgetEm - Prototyping of a new spirit vinegar

Agrio line of the AgetEm project (POCI-01-0145-FEDER-023583) aimed to develop new vinegar products, benefiting from the location of ESAS in Ribatejo, close to the main Portuguese vinegar industries. An innovative spirit vinegar prototype was developed (2017- 2019), by acetification of a monovarietal white wine distillate, produced from Talia grapes of the National Ampelographic Collection (Portugal). In the EU,...

Stability study of low caliber Pera Rocha osmotically dehydrated

This work consisted of the application of osmotic dehydration to low-caliber Rocha pear. The initial values of soluble solids content indicated that the fruit was the same degree of ripeness. The sliced pear was immersed in various sucrose solutions (20%; 30%; 40% (w / w)), at various temperatures (20 ºC; 30 ºC; 40 ºC), for 240, 360 and 480 minutes. At the beginning and the end of the process, the parameters de...

Development of gastronomic strategies for the application and valorization of n...

In order to develop gastronomic applications with five emulsions prototypes (three strawberry and bell pepper—red and yellow—processed differently, with aqueous vegetable phase) and two mustards with red fruits and beet, a sensory evaluation was carried out at first with a taste panel and also the online Foodpairing® tool was used. Based on previous results and also on culinary know-how, creative/aesthetic tale...

Rheologic effect of selected acrylamide reducing agents from plant extracts in ...

Bread is a staple food worldwide with an annual intake recommended by the WHO of 60kg / capita. Strategies to mitigate the occurrence of substances harmful to human health such as acrylamide (AA) should not interfere in food properties perceived by the consumers. The objective of this work was to assess the rheologic (texture and color) effect on two types of bread formulas (wheat and rye) that the addition of ...

Development of gastronomic strategies for the application and valorization of n...

Strategic innovation must anticipate consumer’s acceptance and commercial potential in their design process. The main objective of this study was to develop gastronomic applications with the use of water-in-oil (60 to 65% lipid phase) innovative inverse emulsion prototypes (which preserve expensive/seasonal raw materials and value surplus/regional by-products) (1), appealing to the final consumer. Five emulsion...

Caracterização físico-química e reológica de tomate (Solanum lycopersicum L.) d...

Este estudo teve por objetivo avaliar as caraterísticas físico-químicas e reológicas de duas variedades de tomate, Vimeiro e Runner, cultivados no Algarve e Oeste, ao longo da época de colheita. As amostras foram submetidas à análise do peso, calibre, humidade, sólidos solúveis totais, acidez titulável total, licopeno, cor e dureza. Observaram-se diferenças significativas para todos os parâmetros quando conside...

Pickles de frutos e vinagres com adições: desenvolvimento de novos produtos no ...

A aptidão tecnológica do vinagre permite desenvolver múltiplos produtos. Neste projecto (2009 -) criaram-se processos de aromatização múltipla e de conservação ácida de frutos doces em vinagre, incomuns na indústria vinagreira. Articulando ensaios tecnológicos, analíticos e provas sensoriais, desenvolveram-se dois vinagres vínicos com adições (com mirtilo e com mel e especiarias), dois vinagretes aromatizados (...
