Consumers are increasingly looking for healthy foods without the addition of synthetic additives. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of coffee extracts as a natural antioxidant in fresh pork sausage. Firstly, the conditions for obtaining coffee green extracts were optimized (Central Composite Rotatable Design 23, variables: extraction time, ethanol-water ratio, and sample-solvent ratio) in an ...
Microencapsulation is a promising alternative to ensure probiotic viability, mainly when the wall material resists the adverse extrinsic conditions releasing the probiotics into the intestine. Therefore, Lactobacillus plantarum was encapsulated in Acrycoat S100 by spray drying. The encapsulation process was analysed using a central composite rotatable design (CCRD), varying the encapsulant and probiotic microor...
The aim of this study was to produce cereal bars (CB) added with tempeh flour (TF) and evaluate the nutritional composition, fatty acids profile, isoflavone content and sensory acceptance. Tempeh was produced from organic soya beans cotyledons fermented by Rhizophus oligosporus followed by freeze-drying and milling in order to obtain the TF. The addition of 10%, 15% and 20% TF to CB resulted in both protein and...

Pork consumption in Brazil is still low despite its productive importance. Relevant issues such as swine breeding, meat quality, and evaluation of aspects and attributes considered important by pork consumers at the time of purchase allows identifying consumer market demands. Moreover, physical parameters evaluation or pork cuts are suggested to certify the meat quality. The aim of this study was to identify th...
Several studies have attributed health benefits to probiotics, as the contribution to intestinal microflora activity (Khan et al. 2013). However, adverse conditions in gastrointestinal transit can reduce the viability of probiotics as Lactobacillus plantarum. Acrycoat S100 is a co-polymer from methacrylic acid and methyl methacrylate, water insoluble and soluble in pH ≥ 7. Therefore, microencapsulation of probi...
Estudos têm correlacionado o consumo de probióticos à benefícios na atividade intestinal. Mas as condições adversas do sistema digestório podem reduzir a viabilidade dos microrganismos. A microencapsulação é uma alternativa para o aumento da viabilidade de probióticos. O Acrycoat S100® é um copolímero insolúvel em água e solúvel em pH ≥ 7,0, que pode ser usado na microencapsulação para liberação controlada. O o...
