Adição de ácido esteárico e surfactante em filmes elaborados com proteínas miofibrilares obtidas de corvina (micropogonias furnieri).
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2017-03-03) VIEIRA, Lorena Limão; LOURENÇO, Lúcia de Fátima Henriques; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7365554949786769
The interest in biodegradable films as food packaging is a worldwide trend that has increased significantly in recent years. The myofibrillar proteins, particularly fish ones, have been gaining interest in film technology. The films made from polysaccharides or proteins have excellent mechanical and optical properties, but these films have a high water vapor permeability (WVP). The incorporation of hydrophobic substances, such as stearic acid, into the film-forming solution, is an alternative to increase the barrier properties of the film to water vapor. But to facilitate the incorporation of the lipid in the protein matrix, it is necessary to add surfactant, which are substances capable of interacting with the protein and the fatty acid. The objective of this work was to develop and characterize films of myofibrillar proteins obtained from corvina waste (Micropogonias furnieri) using glycerol as plasticizer, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as surfactant and stearic acid (SA) as lipid, to improve the technological properties of the film. The characterization of the waste and lyophilized myofibrillar proteins (MP) was performed, indicating that the raw material had a high protein content (96.03% b.s.), important for the formation of the biopolymer matrix. A complete factorial planning was done to define the region of better mechanical, physical and barrier properties of films. The optimized biofilm was prepared with 2.84% MP, 3.18% SA, and 78.41% SDS and 30% glycerol. Concentrations of SA and SDS significantly reduced the WVP, reaching 5.87E-11 g m m-² s-¹ Pa-¹, representing a reduction of 31% when compared to the control biofilm. The mechanical properties of the optimized biofilm were favored, presenting 235.60% of elongation and 6.35 MPa of tensile strength producing stronger and more flexible films. The values of transparency were high, indicating tendency to opaque and yellowish tone, however, with excellent UV barrier properties and it can be used in light sensitive foods. The optimized film also presented good thermal stability and the microstructure revealed a structural change in the filmogenic matrix, in relation to the control, with presence of grooves and protuberances on the surface, confirmed by X-ray diffraction, which indicated the influence of SDS and SA on crystallinity of the film. A 22% increase in solubility and a slight decrease in the swelling of the optimized film were observed.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2022-04-11) LISBOA, Camile Ramos; CARVALHO, Ana Vânia; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7856575452724939; CHISTÉ, Renan Campos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0583058299891937
The present dissertation evaluate the chemical composition and antioxidant potential of eight different genotypes of Euterpe oleracea and eight of Euterpe precatoria, from the Active Germplasm Bank of Embrapa Amazônia Oriental (Belém/PA), in order to select the best accession for each species for later application in the formulation of gummy candies. The parameters of pulp yield, total lipids, total phenolic compounds, total flavonoids, total anthocyanins and the evaluation of antioxidant capacity by the ABTS method in the eight accessions of each species were evaluated. PL01 genotype, belonging to the species of E. precatoria, showed greater prominence compared to the other genotypes studied, for total phenolic compounds (2414.11 mg gallic acid equivalent/100 g), total monomeric anthocyanins (1822.22 mg cyanidin 3-glycoside/100 g), total flavonoids (325.07 mg quercetin equivalent/100 g) and antioxidant capacity by the ABTS method (96.54 μM trolox equivalent/g), in relation to the species of E. oleracea, the L2PL5 genotype presented better prominence in relation to its same species in the parameters of total monomeric anthocyanins (736.05 mg cyanidin 3- glycoside/100 g), total flavonoids (306.55 mg quercetin equivalent/100 g) antioxidant capacity by the ABTS method (53.77 μM trolox equivalent/g). From this first study, a genotype of each specie, based on the high levels of anthocyanins, in order to evaluate the application of lyophilized açaí in the candy formulation. of gum to monitor the stability of the natural pigment compared to a gummy bear with artificial coloring. Parameters such as pH, total acidity, total soluble solids (oBrix), total monomeric anthocyanins and instrumental color of the gummies produced during 30 days of storage at room temperature were monitored. At the end of the 30 days of storage, it was observed that there was a lower rate of degradation of total monomeric anthocyanins in the gummies with lyophilized açaí from Euterpe precatoria, compared to the gummies with lyophilized açaí from Euterpe oleracea of 1.25 x 10-1 days and 1.52 x 10-1 days, by the first order model, respectively, in addition to a lower loss of total monomeric anthocyanins, in percentagem, 48.17 % and 61.73 %, respectively. Regarding color stability, the lyophilized açaí gummies from Euterpe oleracea and Euterpe precatoria showed a perception of color change in a similar period of 20 days, being an ideal alternative of time for storage and consumption. It is concluded that the applicability of lyophilized açaí in food products can be seen as a viable alternative, resulting in foods with a good source of bioactive properties such as anthocyanins, in order to produce a healthier alternative to gummy bears.

Caracterização de óleos e gorduras vegetais amazônicas: utilização de modelo para predizer viscosidade
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2022-06-03) FREITAS, Joice Silva de; SILVA, Luiza Helena Meller da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2311121099883170; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6002-9425
The Amazon rainforest is rich in oilseed plant species, which have fruits that are attractive due to their economic potential and biological properties. Oils from oleaginous matrices have a unique composition with physicochemical and nutraceutical properties that attract attention as a source of fatty acids. The predictive model is based on the use of mathematical equations that are more comprehensive and less limited than simple linear or polynomial models, and are able to predict a certain property using one or more physicochemical parameters. Thus, this work aimed to use a predictive model to calculate the viscosity of Amazonian oils (açaí, bacaba, tucumã) and fats (cupuaçu, bacuri and tucumã). The samples were physicochemically characterized in terms of acidity index, density, oxidative stability, peroxide, melting point, iodine index, saponification index, fatty acid composition, triacylglycerol composition, solid fat content, atherogenicity index and heterogeneity. Two predictive models were used to obtain the viscosity values of oils and fats, the model using the profile of the mass fraction of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids and the model using the iodine and saponification index.The results showed that the oils (patauá, pracaxi, bacaba, açaí, tucumã) had high levels of unsaturated fatty acids, especially oleic acid, which has good thermal stability, while the fats (cupuaçu, bacuri and tucumã) are composed of mainly by saturated fatty acids. The oxidative stability showed that at a temperature of 110 °C, pracaxi oil and cupuaçu fat presented the highest values, while bacaba oil presented a lower value, this low stability value indicates that this sample is more conducive to oxidation. Pracaxi oil showed the highest value for the ratio between hypocholesterolemic and hypercholesterolemic fatty acids (HH), indicating that it is more nutritionally adequate. The studies to predict the regularity of Amazonian oils and fats proposed in this work may contribute to simplifying the evaluation of the physicochemical properties of important regional oleaginous raw materials on which there are no studies, but with growing industrial interest in different areas, in addition of the food area.

Composição química, potencial antioxidante e antimicrobiano (in vitro) de extratos de geoprópolis de abelhas sem ferrão da Amazônia
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-08-22) SILVA, Jonilson de Melo e; OLIVEIRA, Johnatt Allan Rocha de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4620766111243038; MARTINS, Luiza Helena da Silva; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1164249317889517; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1911-4502
The Amazon region presents a growing development of meliponiculture, the rational breeding of stingless bees. However, an essential product of this activity, geopropolis (a material made from resinous substances collected from plants to which bees add salivary secretions, wax, pollen, and earth), still has little value on the market due to the lack of information about its chemical composition and biological activities. The objective of this work is to study the geopropolis of stingless bees uruçu amarela (Melipona flavolineata), uruçu boca de renda (Melipona seminigra pernigra), and uruçu cinzenta (Melipona fasciculata), from the city of Terra Alta, located in the northeast of the state of Pará, regarding its chemical and mineral composition, determination of bioactive compounds, evaluation of antioxidant and antimicrobial properties and determination of the chromatographic profile (volatile compounds) of geopropolis ethanolic extracts obtained by agitation and sonication. The extracts from the optimal condition showed significant levels of total phenolic compounds, ranging from 5491.1 ± 446.33 to 13019.19 ± 186.56 mg EAG/100g, as well as the content of total flavonoids, which was between 190.31 ± 2.61 and 2498.02 ± 78.24 mg QE/100g. Regarding antioxidant activity, the sample with the best performance was yellow uruçu, which presented results of 1537.66 ± 19.52 μmol trolox eq./g, 1773.56 ± 6.52 μmol trolox eq./g and 7074, 41 ± 215.73 μmol ferrous sulfate eq./g, in the respective DPPH, ABTS and FRAP tests. Samples from uruçu Boca de renda and uruçu content presented antimicrobial action, with a minimum inhibitory concentration of 0.5 and 2 mg/mL, respectively. The analysis of volatile compounds demonstrated distinct chemical profiles between the samples since only 3 of the identified compounds (less than 4% of the total) were standard in all analyzed samples, suggesting that the geopropolis of the three species are made from different resin sources, despite the hives being located in the same environment. This exploratory research contributes essential information to the knowledge of the activities exhibited by the geopropolis produced in the Amazon region, helping in the progression of studies on stingless bees.

Compostos bioativos e potencial antioxidante da fruta Jacaiacá (Antrocaryon amazonicum)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-05-14) BARBOSA, Anna Paula Pereira; CHISTÉ, Renan Campos
Bioactive compounds are secondary metabolites from plants, which are found in leaves, stem, seeds, peel, flowers and fruits. Such compounds exhibit antioxidant properties, since they can scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) as one of the mains mechanisms of action. Among the fruits present in the Amazonian estuary, the Jacaiacá (Antrocaryon amazonicum) was already reported as a promising source of bioactive compounds, such as phenolic compounds and carotenoids. In this study, the individual profiles of carotenoids and phenolic compounds in the pulp and peel of Jacaiacá, from two different cities in Pará State, Brazil (Cametá and São Caetano de Odivelas) was identified and quantified by LC-MS. Moreover, the antioxidant potential of the fruit extracts, from both parts against ROS and RNS of physiological importance, was assessed. According to the proximate composition, water and carbohydrates were the main constituents from the peel and pulp of the jacaiacá pulp. The highest levels of bioactive compounds were found in the fruits of São Caetano de Odivelas in both parts (peel and pulp) and the phenolic compounds contents of 6555.9 mg EAG/100 g and 2855.89 mg EAG/100 g. In relation to carotenoid profiles, the major compounds were all-trans-lutein, followed by all-trans-zeaxanthin and all-trans β cryptoxanthin; in addition all-trans-β-carotene and 9-cis- were also identified. Ten phenolic compounds were identified, being galoyl catechin, catechin, quercetin glucuronide and gallic acid the major ones. Regarding the antioxidant capacity, the peel extracts were more efficient in scavenging ROS and RNS than the pulp extracts. The peel extract showed higher efficiency against singlet oxygen (1O2) (IC50 = 16.41µg / mL), hypochlorous acid (HOCl) (IC50 = 20.19 µg / mL), peroxynitrite (ONOO-) (IC50 = 37.81µg / mL) and superoxide anion radical (O2 •- ) (IC50 = 47.09µg / mL), while the pulp extract was more efficient against ONOO- , followed by HOCl (IC50 = 29.70 µg / mL), ¹O2 (IC50 = 75.84 µg / mL) and less efficient against O2 •- ( IC50 = 144.07 µg / mL). Therefore, jacaiacá fruit was characterized as a great source of bioactive compounds with antioxidant properties to be used by the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2014-03-28) MACIEL, Renan de Almeida; RODRIGUES, Antonio Manoel da Cruz; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7524720020580309; PENA, Rosinelson da Silva; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3452623210043423
The aim of this work was to evaluate the process of vacuum osmotic dehydration of mapará fillet (Hypophthamus edentatus). Mapará fillets with dimensions of 5 x 2 x 0.5 cm were subjected to vacuum osmotic dehydration in accordance with a rotational central composite design 24, in which were evaluated the effects of the independent variables temperature, time, vacuum pressure and NaCl concentration on the dependent variables water loss (WL), solids gain (GS) and water activity (aw), order to obtain optimal condition of process with greater PA, lower GS and lower aw. The kinetics of osmotic dehydration of mapará was performed under optimal conditions, where were monitored the parameters PA, GS and aw as a function of process time. The empirical model proposed by Azuara et al. was used to represent the kinetics of mass transfer during the process of osmotic dehydration. The mapará fillet presented 76.70% moisture, 15.57% protein, 5.38% fat and 0.93% ash. The NaCl concentration (linear) was the variable that presented the greatest effect on the dependent variables, being positive on WL and GS and negative about the aw. The models obtained for PA, GS and aw were significant at 95% confidence and showed no significant lack of fit, being useful to predictive purposes. Was determined as optimum condition for the process: NaCl concentration 25%, temperature of 25 ° C and time of 120 min. The model proposed by Azuara et al. showed fit good to the experimental data of PA and GS kinetics of osmotic dehydration of mapará fillet. The fillet mapará had a reduction moisture after osmotic dehydration in optimal conditions, however did not meet the humidity recommended by law for salted fish, since the chloride content increased and attended law for salted fish. In relation the instrumental color were observed, after osmotic dehydration, significant statistically differences in lightness (L *) that decreased, indicating that the mapará darkened and the hue angle (h °) that increased, but still showed a tendency to yellow.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2014-03-28) FERREIRA, Fabielle Negrão; SILVA, Evaldo Martins da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6649371901290988; SOUZA, Jesus Nazareno Silva de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3640438725903079
Vibrational spectroscopy in the near infrared (NIR) has many applications in industry, particularly in quality control, discrimination and determination of the chemical composition of different foods because of the speed and ease of application in routine analysis when compared to traditional physical and chemical methods. This work aims to use this technique to discriminate five fish species from the Amazonian coast (Genyatremus luteus , Lutjanus purpureus , Macrodon ancylodon , Cynoscion acoupa, Micropogonias furnieri) and predict major components (water content, lipids and proteins). A portable low-resolution spectrometer (1600-2400 nm) was used for obtaining spectral measures of fish samples (intact, crushed and lyophilized muscle tissue). The spectra were preprocessed by means of derivatives using the Savitzky-Golay algorithm for smoothing of spectral noises, when constructing both prediction and discrimination models. The PCA and SIMCA models were applied for species discrimination, while PCR and PLS were used in the prediction of the major components. Using PCA, it was observed the formation of well-defined groups of the species G. luteus and L. purpureus in intact and lyophilized samples. With SIMCA, it was observed the formation of groups of the five species, which were confirmed by the distance between groups in the range from 4.16 to 13.31 and 2.90 to 57.05 for intact and lyophilized samples, respectively. The PLS regression model showed a small positive variation values for r2 and R2 , and the lyophilized samples showed better results for the three studied parameters: water content ( r2: 0.58 , RMSEPcv: 1.11 and RDP: 1.40 ), lipids (r2 : 0.96 , RMSEPcv : RDP 1.09 and 4.82 ), and crude protein (r2: 0.86 , RMSEPcv : RDP and 1.96 : 2.60). A good correlation between proximate composition data and those predicted by PLS regression was obtained.

Estudo comparativo do efeito da clivagem ácida (escalas analítica e piloto) de proantocianidinas presentes em extratos de matrizes vegetais da Amazônia
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2014-09-30) SATO, Suenne Taynah Abe; SOUZA, Jesus Nazareno Silva de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3640438725903079
The Amazon Region presents a great source of species rich in bioactive compounds, such as Euterpe oleracea (açaizeiro), Byrsonima crassifolia (murucizeiro) and Inga edulis (ingazeiro). From these matrices, purified extracts rich in phenolic content have been produced containing compounds such as flavonoids and tannins. It is known that tannins, more specifically condensed tannins (proanthocyanidins) are polymers of simple phenolic compounds, and when present in foods, are involved in the sensation of astringency due to its complexation with saliva protein, thus acting as an anti-nutrition agent. Methods have been developed aiming the depolymerization of these compounds, such as acid cleavage, because apart from promoting the reduction of astringency, studies have shown that they also contribute to increased antioxidant capacity and to promote the absorption of these compounds. It is noteworthy that, with the growing interest in monomeric phenolic compounds, tests on a pilot scale, to produce them in larger quantities, are necessary. Therefore, the aim of this study was to verify the effects of the acid cleavage of proanthocyanidins, on a pilot scale, present in the extracts of Amazonic plants, thus evaluating the phenolic content, the astringent and antioxidant capacity. In order to achieve that, the purified aqueous extracts of each plant were characterized by spectrophotometric analysis (total phenolic content, total flavonols and total flavanols, total anthocyanidins, proanthocyanidins and antioxidant capacity (DPPH)), astringency analysis and identification of the main compounds by on High Pressure Liquid Chromatography. Subsequently the samples underwent an acid cleavage with a reaction medium of 60% Ethanol, HCl 3N, in a temperature of 88 °C for 165 minutes. The purified aqueous extracts of muruci, ingá and açaí showed a high concentration of polyphenols (761.83, 493.59 and 531.55 mg GAE/g MS, respectively), as well as high concentrations of total flavanols, total flavonols, and proanthocyanidins. The process of acid cleavage promoted an increase in the content of total polyphenols and was effective in hydrolyzing the proanthocyanidins, in reducing the astringency, in increasing the antioxidant capacity as well as in obtaining subclass of compounds of anthocyanins for the three extracts. The scaling-up process resulted in no significant difference (p>0.05) regarding the cleavage held in analytical scale, for all extracts. Besides the depolymerization of proanthocyanidins, the acid treatment provides the deglycosylation of flavonoids as glycosylated quercetins (Byrsonima crassifolia and Inga edulis), glycosylated miricetins (Inga edulis) and glycosylated cianidins (Euterpe oleracea). Thus, the increase in scale of the process made possible the production of extracts rich in compounds with high antioxidant capacity which provided good indication to the possible use of these extracts as antioxidants agents in food and pharmaceutical products.

The foam-mat drying was used as a dehydration method for açaí (Euterpe oleracea) pulp. Initially, the types of foaming agents were evaluated, also the influence of concentration’s and whipping times’ variation were evaluated for foam formation. By the choice of the best whipping time, the same diferente concentrations were used for the study of drying at different temperatures. For this, a prior study using a Central Composite Rotational Design were realized, which results have leading to a new experimental design to determine the best conditions of additive concentration and drying temperature, this time a 2² Factorial Design, with three central points were realized. The influence of the drying process conditions on the total anthocyanins, moisture, water activity and lightness (L*) was evaluated. Furthermore, an energy consumption study was performed based on the estimation of the equipment needed in the processes of obtaining dehydrated acai. This study allowed identify Emustab® as a good foaming agent for açaí foam, because it was produced foams with adequate density, expansion and stability for foam-mat drying. The drying temperature showed significative effects (p≤0,05) on total anthocyanins and moisture responses, whereas the effects statiscally significants (p≤0,05) for L* were concentration of additive and the interaction between concentration and temperature. The optimized condition was found by the desirability function. Still, estimation of energy consumption demonstrated the process of drying açai in foam layer as less energy intensive. Therefore, this study showed the feasibility of the technical and financial foam drying method for obtaining powdered açai pulp.

Extração assistida por ultrassom de compostos bioativos das matrizes vegetais (eryngium foetidum L e talinum triangulare Jacq. Willd) do bioma amazônico utilizando solventes verdes
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2021-10-19) SANTOS FILHO, Adilson Ferreira; RODRIGUES, Antonio Manoel da Cruz; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7524720020580309
The present work aims to evaluate the extraction parameters of bioactive compounds (phenolic compounds, flavonoids, carotenoids, chlorophyll, anthocyanins, betalains and saponins) and antioxidant capacity (DPPH and FRAP) of extracts using the probe assisted extraction method ultrasound with green solvents (ethanol and olein), in samples of chicória leaves (Eryngium foetidum L.) and cariru leaves (Talinum triangulare Jacq. Willd.). Five phases of extractions were evaluated, where in each phase the effect generated individually of each variable (ethanol concentration, proportion of ethanol and olein mixture, equipment range, temperature and extraction time) on bioactive compounds and antioxidant capacity were evaluated. In the 1st extraction phase, the results obtained in this presented work was high yields of biomolecules and antioxidant capacity in relation to the levels reported in the literature of chicória and cariru. The 70% ethanol concentration was the best extraction range for the samples. In the 2nd phase, the mixture ratio of 1:3 of ethanol: olein was the best range for capturing bioactive compounds for both samples. In the 3rd extraction phase (equipment range) when it varies from 50 to 80%, it was observed that depending on the compound of interest, the range used can vary, however, the range of 70% showed the highest yield in relation to bioactive compounds and antioxidant capacity for chicória and cariru. In relation to the 4th extraction phase (temperature) it allowed an increase in the capture of the compounds, being the ideal range of 30ºC for cariru and 40ºC for chicória. In the last extraction phase where the extraction time was evaluated, it was found that for both samples the period of 15 minutes provided high yields. Regarding the applied modeling, it can be highlighted that the kinetic model of mass transfer presents the possibility to predict the experimental data and to predict values of bioactive compounds with a confidence limit of 99%. By evaluating the oxidative stability of the extracts, it can be seen that the compounds present in the optimized extracts enabled a protective action, managing to extend the olein stability index from 8 hours to 13.68 hours in the case of cariru extract and 12.79 hours for chicory. 7

Euterpe oleracea is a plant species that occurs naturally in the Amazon region, known as açaí. Its fruit is considered a functional food due to the high content of phenolic compounds, mainly anthocyanins, which gives the fruit high antioxidant power. In addition, it presents high nutritional value presenting in its composition fibers, proteins, vitamins and minerals. In this study the technique of extraction by Aqueous Two-Phase System (ATPS) was applied to the study of the partition of the anthocyanins present in the aqueous extract of açaí. The alcoholic extract of açaí was used to study the stability of anthocyanins in different solutions of salts and alcohol, where the extract had 718.32 mg/L of anthocyanins. ATPS were prepared with ammonium sulfate, ethanol and water at 25 and 35 ° C. In the process of extraction of anthocyanin by ATPS was verified the effect of pH, temperature and time of extraction. The best anthocyanin extraction condition was pH 3.4 at 33 °C for 30 min. The best partition coefficient obtained was 2.70, indicating the affinity of the compound studied for the top phase of ATPS. The extraction process used in this study was more efficient than the conventionally used analytical quantification technique for anthocyanin extraction.

Extração utilizando óleo vegetal e assistida por ultrassom de biocompostos da pimenta cumari-do-pará (capsicum chinense Jacq) em diferentes estádios de maturação e localidades
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2017-03-23) CARDOSO, Raiane Vieira; RODRIGUES, Antonio Manoel da Cruz
The extraction of blend is one of the most critical steps in the polls with natural products, because your efficiency depends on several parameters, such as the sample type, type of analytes to be extracted, location where these analytes are sampled, type of solvent extractor and method of extraction, among others. In this study the objective of performing the ultrasound-assisted extraction of cumari pepper blend-do-pará (Capsicum chinense Jacq) grown in two different locations in the State of Pará (Santo Antônio do Tauá and Igarapé-Açu) and with different level of maturation using vegetable oil as a solvent. The centesimal composition (moisture, ash, proteins, carbohydrates and lipids), was made in conjunction with the quantification of soluble solids, acidity, pH and color. For conducting the tests of extraction of bio- and antioxidant capacity, the pulps were freeze dried and subjected to extraction with organic solvents and ultrasound-assisted extraction using vegetable oils (soybean, Brazil nuts and palm olein). In the extracts were analyzed concentrations of vitamin C, total carotenoids and phenolic compound capsaicin. The antioxidant activity was measured by β-carotene system/linoleic acid and ABTS radical test. The results indicated that the ash content is not influenced by the degree of maturation at both locations studied. About the color, the biggest b * parameters, index Chroma (C) and the Hue Angle values (ºc) near 90° were found in Peppers mature, demonstrating that these fruits boast yellow colour when they reach maturity. For bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity, it was observed that for the majority of the compounds analyzed the degree of ripeness and the location interfere and highest values were found for the mature peppers of Igarapé açu. The same behavior was observed for extracts obtained from vegetable oils, being soybean oil which obtained greater values. The fruits of peppers had significant antioxidant activity and the Pearson correlation results have shown that phenolic compounds were the main responsible for antioxidant activity.

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Pichia manshurica, Pichia kudriavzevii and Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeasts on the quality and aromatic profile of fermented cocoa seeds from a municipality in Pará state. About 180 kg of cocoa seeds were distributed in four wooden troughs (n = 3), for spontaneous fermentation (without inoculum), with inoculations of P. manshurica, P. kudriavzevii and S. cerevisiae. Cocoa samples were aseptically collected throughout the fermentation and stored properly for microbiological and physicochemical analyzes (centesimal composition, acetic acid, ethanol, sugar profile, phenolic compounds, volatile compounds, cut test and heavy metals). It was observed that inoculations with yeast did not influence the physicochemical composition of fermented and dried seeds. However, during the fermentation process the seeds presented low acidity, especially those obtained from the fermentations inoculated with Pichia manshurica and Pichia kudriavzevii. Among the 34 volatile compounds identified in the samples studied, 5 were considered to be the majority (concentrations ≥ 10%), and 2 compounds (2-heptanol and linalol) were found to be higher in the fermentation inoculated with P. manshurica after the fermentation and drying process. followed by fermentation inoculated with P. kudriavzevii with the compounds benzaldehyde and phenylacetaldehyde. The fermentative performance of ethanol and acetic acid production was superior when fermentation inoculated with Sacharomyces cerevisiae was superior. The application of yeast inoculum influenced several quality parameters for a better standardization of the cocoa fermentation process.

The methods of modification of oils and fats are widely applied in the food industry to obtain products with specific characteristics. Among these, the blending and interesterification stand out, through which the structured lipids are obtained. From the enzymatic interesterification, lipids can be obtained with greater control of the distribution of fatty acids than those obtained chemically. And its employs softer reaction conditions that interfere positively with the quality of the lipids obtained. However, although there are already several studies on obtaining lipid bases for application in the food industry through enzymatic interesterification, there are few studies applying as oilseeds of the amazon region. Thus, this study aimed to obtain special fats for application in the food industry through the blending and enzymatic interesterification of fats of amazon region (pracaxi oil, cupuassu fat and palm stearin). The binary blends between the oil and the fats were developed in ratios (w/w) 40:60, 50:50, 60:40 and 70:30. The Lipozyme TL IM (Thermomyces lanuginosus) was used. The reactions were carried out under the following conditions: at 60 ºC, 5% (w/w) of enzyme, agitation of 150 rpm and reaction time of 5 h. The pure samples and the blends were evaluated regarding of acidity, peroxide, melting point, iodine value, saponification value, fatty acid composition, triacylglycerol composition, oxidative stability, olid fat content and consistency. The samples’ nutritional quality was determined using the nutritional quality indexes (AI, TI and HH). Blends with more than 50 % of unsaturated fatty acids were obtained. The addition of pracaxi oil in the blends improved the nutritional quality indexes. The enzymatic interesterification caused the increase of the melting point for PC blends and the reduction for the PE blends. The same behavior was observed for the solid fat content. The blends obtained were suitable for use in fatty products, in special in the margarines, shortenings, bakery/confectionery fats and fat for frying.

The present dissertation proposal sought to develop an efficient method for recovery of extracts rich in polysaccharides from the edible mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus using binary system with hot water and supercritical CO2. The dissertation was structured in two interconnected chapters. Chapter I is a published article of review bibliographic, in which the latest findings of the literature on the subject are addressed clearly and factually, emphasizing the development of new extraction techniques, biological potential, and new technologies. Chapter II is a research article, where the main findings about the extraction and characterization process of a fraction rich in polysaccharides are displayed. The results show that the technology and process developed were efficient for recovery with a high yield of extracts rich in polysaccharides. In addition, research has shown that the extracts are a mixture of heteropolysaccharides, β-glucans, α-glucans, and oligosaccharides. The extract with the best extraction condition has high antioxidant activity, does not have cytotoxic effects, and has cytoprotective activity against free radicals. Thus, the method developed to recover extracts rich in polysaccharides is efficient, environmentally friendly and has potential for industrial implementation.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-10-05) MENDES, Kharen dos Anjos; RODRIGUES, Antonio Manoel da Cruz; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7524720020580309
This study aimed to develop a food supplement powder, from the dehydration of the mix obtained from the pulp of fruits of jacaiacá (Antrocaryon amazonicum (ducke) and of yams-purple tubers (Dioscorea trifida L.).The drying process was carried out in a fluidized dryer, spouted bed type with intermittent feeding. This study evaluated the thermal effects resulting from the drying process on sensory characteristics, nutritional and technological functional properties of the product obtained powder. The temperatures of the drying agent (atmospheric air) used were 70, 80 and 90°C. Assays physical-chemical characterization of bioactive compounds and antioxidant (phenolic compounds, anthocyanins, ascorbic acid, carotenoids, and antioxidants total) were conducted in order to evaluate the heat effects of the drying process. Associated with these assays were also performed tests for physical characteristics of powders (particle size and apparent density and compression), technological properties (Water solubility index WSI and Water absorption index WAI), fluidity, morphological characterization and study of moisture sorption isotherms at 25° C, the mix obtained in spouted bed. The products had moisture and water activity within the safety range (1.49 to 7.83% and from 0.30 to 0.46, respectively) from the microbiological point of view established for dry food. There was no thermal influence on flowability of powders. The product had smaller rest angles 45° and were classified as being free flowing and low apparent density and compression. Regarding color, the powders showed strong tendency to red. The Chroma component (C*) revealed that the mix at 90° C had a higher color intensity compared to the other samples. The powders were classified as very different to ΔE. Products may be considered an excellent source of phenolic compounds (3171.71 to 1296.30 mg GAE/100g) and with remarkable anthocyanin content (47.52 to 38.36 mg/100g d.b) and ascorbic acid (285.61 to 58.09 mg/100g d.b). The powders showed high antioxidant capacity and satisfactory content even after drying (DPPH: 500.16 to 204.16 μmol TE/g d.b and ABTS: 15.66 to 2.52 μmol TE/g d.b). The powder mix showed no uniform particles. The higher mass percentage retained for post at different temperatures were the basis of the equipment (47,04 a 68,61%) and the sieve 60 mesh (250 mm). All products obtained had low solubility at room temperature (20.74 to 21.34%). For the powders of WAI it was observed that at room temperature the starch present in the composition of the post, ungelatinized. Through particle morphology it was possible to distinguish some starch granules with different shapes and sizes (which have the shapes and values). The moisture sorption isotherms indicated that the powder mix should not be dried at lower moisture levels to 4.98 H2O/100 g, and the dried product will have already secured microbiological stability when presenting 12.64g H2O g d.b. humidity. The GAB model was the best fit, with good accuracy for the product moisture sorption isotherms (adsorption: R2: 0.9987 and P: 6.3079,% and desorption: R2: 0.9997 and P: 1,85%).

Given the immense diversity of fruits, vegetables and products developed in northern Brazil, tucupi, jambu and banana are notable because they are widely used, not only in culinary of Pará, but for several other purposes. Aiming to use these abundant products in the northern Brazil, the present work aimed at obtaining a dehydrated product based on tucupi, jambu and green banana, through the Refractance Window process. The formulations were dried at a temperature of 70 ° C, in a time of 50 min. Two formulations coded as FORM I and FORM II were dried. The initial moisture content of the formulations was 88% wb, and the values of final moisture content of the dehydrated product were 10% (for FORM I) and 9% (for FORM II). The drying time of the samples varied from one formulation to another, and the time was shorter for the drying of FORM II. The dried products had high water absorption capacity (2159.091 for FORM II) and (1666.667 for FORM I) and had an average oil absorption capacity. As to hygroscopicity, the products were considered little hygroscopic: 7.9 and 9.27 g H2O / g of sample for FORM I and FORM II, respectively. The dehydrated products showed significant content of phenols: 221.18 and 169.49 mg GAE / 100 g of sample for FORM I and FORM II, respectively. Regarding antioxidant capacity, the dehydrated products had higher antioxidant capacity by DPPH radical sequestration than the ABTS radical. For the results of color, the values (ΔE *) varied significantly for the dehydrated products with the same drying conditions. The shelf life was evaluated for 35 days and it was observed that the dried product of the Form I showed no change from seventh day, when evaluated by moisture gain, whereas FORM II showed variation during the entire period of storage . When the assessed parameter was the water activity, the FORM II did not change from the 14th day, while the FORM I changed only in twenty-first day of storage.
