Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Avaliação do efeito da combinação de pectina, gelatina e alginato de sódio sobre as características de gel de fruta estruturada a partir de "mix" de polpa de cajá e mamão, por meio da metodologia de superfície de resposta(Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia, 2011) CARVALHO, Ana Vânia; MATTIETTO, Rafaella de Andrade; ASSIS, Glaucy Takeda; LOURENÇO, Lúcia de Fátima HenriquesThe objective of this work was to establish a technological procedure for producing a structured fruit product from yellow mobin and papaya purees, as an attempt to combine the sensory properties of both fruits and potentialize the functional properties of the final product. The effect of different combinations of pectin, gelatin and sodium alginate on the fruit gel properties was evaluated by response surface methodology. Papaya and yellow mobin purees and the structured products were characterized in terms of functional compounds (total tannin and carotenoid contents), as well as centesimal composition, pH, titratable acidity, soluble solids, sugars, water activity, carbohydrates and total energetic value. The results obtained from the experimental design indicated that only the gelatin concentration affected the product firmness. The developed fruit structured products presented good acceptance for all evaluated attributes. The data concerning purchase intent indicated that 70% of the panelists would probably or certainly purchase the mixed yellow mobin and papaya structured product if they found it for sale.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Capacidade antioxidante e triagem farmacológica de extratos brutos de folhas de Byrsonima crassifolia e de Inga edulis(Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia, 2012-03) POMPEU, Darly Rodrigues; ROGEZ, Hervé Louis Ghislain; MONTEIRO, Karin Maia; TINTI, Sirlene V.; CARVALHO, João Ernesto deIn order to evaluate the effect of two Amazonian species on chronic diseases linked with the oxidative processes, we performed antioxidant capacity analyses (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity - ORAC and Folin-Ciocalteu - PT assays) and pharmacological effects in vitro (antiproliferative effect) and in vivo (antinociceptive, antiinflammatory, antiulcerogenic effects) for ethanolic extracts (65:35; v/v; ethanol:water) from Byrsonima crassifolia (BC) and Inga edulis (IE) leaves. Both BC and IE extracts showed high ORAC values (1,422 and 694 mmol of Trolox equivalent/g of dry leaf, respectively) and high PT contents (35.93 and 24.50 mg gallic acid equivalent g-1 dry leaf, respectively). The ORAC values had no correlation with PT, suggesting the presence of other chemical groups in the antioxidant activity value. The two extracts did not present significant antiproliferative activity on nine lines of human tumor cells, and cytotoxic effect was detected only at the highest concentration. The antinociceptive effect was investigated using the hot plate test, and IE extract presented a longer latency (P < 0.05) 30 and 60 min after oral administration. The antiinflammatory activity was only observed at the highest concentration, suggesting that the antinociceptive effect observed was not due to the antiinflammatory effect. The extracts of both species reduced the ulcerative lesions produced by ethanol up to 84% (P < 0.05), suggesting a relation with the antioxidant capacity. More studies are necessary to elucidate the mechanisms of action involved on antiulcerative effects.
