Acerola is a fruit of great nutritional value recognized for its high vitamin C content, and has varied applicability in the food industry. Its processing generates a considerable amount of waste, and there is a lack of information on the composition and use of this material. This study aimed to produce a flour from the residue of acerola pulping, carry out the physicochemical characterization and analysis of b...
Human milk has nutritional and immunological components that can be degraded by slow pasteurization (62.5°C/30 minutes), which is the thermal treatment traditionally used in Human Milk Banks to ensure its microbiological safety. Therefore, it is necessary to search for technologies that promote less impact on the functional properties of this important food. Therefore, the objective of this work was to evaluate...
Fruit jellies are widely produced as a way to utilize fresh fruits, which are highly perishable. Orange a fruit widely consumed in Brazil, it has a significant amount of bioactive compounds. Despite the great progress in the development of jellies, several factors can change its useful life, among them is the packaging. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of packaging on the physic...
There is great interest in developing alternatives to improve food safety, since food-borne diseases (FBD) are a major public health concern worldwide. Plant extracts have the potential to inhibit microbial growth due to the action of secondary metabolites, such as phenolic compounds. This study evaluated the antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of phenolic compounds extracted from grumixama (Eugenia brasil...
A intolerância à lactose consiste na ausência ou deficiência na produção da lactase, enzima responsável por hidrolisar a lactose proveniente do leite e derivados. Indivíduos acometidos desse mal são privados de ingerir o leite em virtude dos desconfortos intestinais promovidos pela não hidrólise desse carboidrato no intestino. Assim, o presente trabalho objetivou desenvolver filme de base celulósica incorporado...
Atualmente, nota-se um grande aumento da demanda por produtos diferenciados com ampla variedade de sabores e aromas e que tragam benefícios para a saúde. Diante disso, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a influência de diferentes concentrações de especiarias no desenvolvimento de iogurtes concentrados salgados. Para isso foi utilizado o delineamento de misturas para estudar as interações entre orégano, salsa...
Pasteurization and freezing are processes used in human milk banks that can affect some of the nutritional and biological properties of human milk. The aim of this study was to evaluate impact of the processing steps adopted by human milk banks on the contents of total phenolic compounds and antioxidant capacity in vitro. Experimental study was realized, in which 40 mL human milk were collected from 8 mothers r...
Entende-se por condimentos e especiarias, produtos naturais de origem vegetal ou à sua mistura, podendo apresentar-se inteiros, fragmentados ou em pó. Devido à sua origem no campo e forma de processamento, pesquisas demonstram a incidência de sujidades nesta matéria prima. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar microscopicamente amostras de orégano, salsa e chimichurri comercializados na cidade de O...
Atualmente, os consumidores têm mostrado grande preocupação em adquirir produtos mais nutritivos e saudáveis, com sabores diferenciados e, acima de tudo, seguro para o consumo. Isso é uma tendência de mercado e, sendo o sorvete muito apreciado no Brasil, o objetivo deste estudo foi desenvolver e otimizar sorvetes funcionais adicionados de kinkan. Para este efeito, foram usadas três fi bras dietéticas (amido mod...
Phenolic compounds are plant secondary metabolites that present many biological effects includingantioxidant and antimicrobial activities. Studies have shown that these compounds can also inhibitquorum sensing bacterial communication. The aim of this study was to characterize the centesimalcomposition, mineral and phenolic content, to determine the antioxidant and antimicrobial effect aswell as the inhibition o...
