(Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia, 2011) CARVALHO, Ana Vânia; MATTIETTO, Rafaella de Andrade; ASSIS, Glaucy Takeda; LOURENÇO, Lúcia de Fátima Henriques
The 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.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013-09) CARVALHO, Ana Vânia; BECKMAN, Jacqueline Chaves; MACIEL, Renan de Almeida; FARIAS NETO, João Tomé de
The aim of this study was to assess the physical and physical-chemical characteristics of the fruits of 21 reproductive peach palms to help guide future research on genetic improvements of the species, especially regarding the fruit pulp. Fruits from each genetic material were characterized by fruit and seed size, moisture, protein, lipid, ash, fiber and total carotenoids. Average values for all studied variables were significantly different among all individuals. Protein values ranged from 4.20 to 6.79%, especially for B04-P20 that showed the highest value. Lipid levels varied markedly, with values ranging between 8.25 and 40.83%, and matrix B02-P30 presenting the greatest levels of lipids. Total carotenoids ranged from 8.02 to 124.90 mg/g, with matrices B02-P30 (124.90µg/g) and B05-P45 (123.04µg/g) presenting the highest values. The high total carotenoid values observed indicates that peach palms could make a significant contribution to antioxidants in the diet. Overall, the physical and physical-chemical assessment revealed significant differences among the studied reproductive individuals for the characters studied, indicating that this species offers considerable promise for future research on genetic improvements.

Elaboration and characterization of snack bars made with ingredients from the Amazon
(Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia, 2017-06) PRAZERES, Isadora Cordeiro dos; DOMINGUES, Alessandra Ferraiolo Nogueira; CAMPOS, Ana Paula Rocha; CARVALHO, Ana Vânia
Snack bars were launched on the market as an alternative for people seeking healthier food options. They are popular portable snacks commonly eaten between meals. This study aimed to develop snack bars made with tapioca flour, Brazil nut and native fruit pulps (açaí, cupuaçu, muruci and taperebá) as well as to assess their physical, physicochemical, microbiological and sensory attributes. The preferred concentration of fruit pulp was 10% in the açaí bar, and 15% in the cupuaçu, muruci and taperebá bars. The acceptance rate of the açaí bars was greater than 70% for the attributes appearance, color, texture, and overall impression, but was lower for flavour. This result may be related to the eating habits of some panelists, who eat açaí pulp without adding any other ingredients that can impart the unique flavour of the fruit. The cupuaçu and muruci snack bars had higher sensory acceptance than the açaí and taperebá bars; therefore, they are more likely to have better market prospects.

The aim of this study was evaluate two formulations of mixed tropical fruit pulps stored frozen (–18 °C) for 365 days as from the mixed tropical juices obtained from them: F1 - mixed tropical juice of acerola (10%), pineapple (20%), acai (5%), cashew (5%), yellow mombin (5%), camu-camu (5%), water (43.1%) and sucrose (6.9%); and F2 - mixed tropical juice of acerola (10%), pineapple (20%), acai (10%), yellow mombin (10%), water (43.4%) and sucrose (6.6%). Physical and chemical analyses and the antioxidant capacity were determined every 45 days. The tropical juices obtained were suitable in terms of current legislation referring to acidity and soluble solids. With respect to the presence of bioactive constituents, the mixed tropical juice with the highest concentrations of acai and yellow mombin showed the highest levels of total anthocyanins and total carotenoids. After 365 days of frozen storage, the losses of carotenoid contents were 2.80% for formulation F1 and 10.07% for formulation F2. As for the total anthocyanins, the losses were higher, 44.35% and 73.48% for formulations F1 and F2, respectively. In general, it was observed that frozen storage was effective in maintaining the chemical characteristics and antioxidant activity of the mixed fruit pulps studied, resulting, after defrosting and the addition of water and sucrose, in mixed tropical juices with good nutritional and functional quality.

Optimization of parameters technological to process tucupi and study of product stability
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-06) CAMPOS, Ana Paula Rocha; MATTIETTO, Rafaella de Andrade; CARVALHO, Ana Vânia
Tucupi is a product obtained from the fermentation and cooking of cassava root wastewater which is widely used in the popular cuisine of the North region of Brazil. This study employed an experimental design to select tucupi processing (fermentation and cooking times) as a function of residual cyanidric acid content and assess the stability of the product obtained. Although the design did not generate a predictive mathematical model, the trend plots and physicochemical and sensory tests indicated 24 h of fermentation and 40 min of cooking as process parameters. The tucupi prepared had pH 3.71, titratable acidity of 0.7 g lactic acid/100 mL, 93.91% moisture, 0.5% ashes, 0.52% proteins, 0.24% lipids, 4.83% carbohydrates, total and free cyanide of 6.97 and 1.31 mg HCN/L, respectively. No Salmonella spp., coagulase-positive Staphylococcus, Bacillus cereus , or thermotolerant coliforms were observed, whereas counts of mesophilic aerobic bacteria (1.3x102 CFU/g) and molds and yeasts (1.3x102 CFU/g) were low. Over 50 days of follow-up (stored at 10°C), the microbial load remained stable and no significant difference was found in physicochemical characteristics, however, the sensory analysis indicated a decrease in quality at 49 days of storage.

The objective of this work was to develop a new formulation for a snack made by thermoplastic extrusion from a mixture of broken rice flour and broken common bean flour, and assess the nutritional, sensory and technological potential of the new product. The broken common bean flour was added to the broken rice flour at a rate of 30%, and the snack was produced in a pilot scale single screw extruder. The extrusion parameters were fixed using three extrusion zones (at 40, 60 and 85 °C); screw speed of 177 rpm; feed rate of 292 g.min-1; and a circular matrix with a diameter of 3.85 mm. The snack sample was submitted to physicochemical, technological and sensory analyses. A significant effect of adding the broken common bean flour was observed in increasing the levels of protein and fiber in the snack, when compared with only broken rice flour. With respect to the technological characteristics, a bulk density of 0.17 g.cm-3 was obtained, expansion rate of 7.75 and instrumental hardness of 435.98 g.f. The formulation was well accepted, with an acceptance rate of 76% for overall impression. It was concluded that it was possible to produce extruded snacks by incorporating 30% of broken common bean flour into broken rice flour, resulting in gluten free products with good sensory acceptance and adequate nutritional value.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2011-12) CARVALHO, Ana Vânia; SECCADIO, Lara Lima; OLIVEIRA JÚNIOR, Moisés Cordeiro Mourão de; NASCIMENTO, Walnice Maria Oliveira do
The present study aimed to characterize the physical and physical-chemical properties and perform sensory evaluation of ripe fruits of three banana cultivars of the subgroup 'Maçã ' at different stages of maturation. Bunches of Caipira, Thap Maeo, and BRS Tropical cultivars were harvested at stage 2 of color peel (green-mature) and stored at room temperature. They were evaluated at color peel stages 2, 3, 5, 7 with respect to length and diameter of the fruits. The following properties of the pulp were investigated: firmness, pH, soluble solids, titratable acidity and sugar concentration (reduced, not reduced and total). Fully ripe fruits were also analyzed regarding the sensory acceptance through the attributes aroma, pulp color, texture, and flavor of fruit. As the ripening progressed, acidity, soluble solids and sugars increased, factors responsible for the fruit flavor, as well as the decrease in fruit firmness and the pH reduction were observed for all cultivars. With respect to sensory analysis, the Tropical and Thap Maeo cultivars presented the highest average scores for all sensory attributes evaluated.
