Características físicas e químicas de frutos de pupunheira no Estado do Pará
(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.

Caracterização e processamento de leite bubalino em pó em secador por nebulização
(2005-09) GUERRA, Roberta Batista; NEVES, Elisa Cristina Andrade; PENA, Rosinelson da Silva
This work aims to show the process development based on the spray dryer for the obtaining of powdered buffalo milk. For that, physiochemical analyses were made in the milk in natura and later in the powdered product, which was also submitted to microbiological analysis to be sure that it could be consumed by humans; and to sensorial analysis for obtaining information about the product's acceptance. Sorption isotherms for the powdered product were obtained at 25ºC with the purpose of perceiving the hygroscopic behavior. The buffalo's powdered milk presented the following characteristics: 3,4 % moisture content, 23,2% proteins, 46,1% fat, 4,2% ash, 0,5% soybean lecithin and 22,6% of total carbohydrates. The product was characterized as whole powdered buffalo milk, because it didn't suffer any standardization. Nutrient losses, during the process, were less then 5%, and just for proteins the variation was more than 15%. It can be justified by the desnaturation of the casein due to high temperatures (>80ºC). The powdered product presented type III sorption isotherms and the same behavior was observed for the whole powdered milk. Through sorption isotherms, the moisture content value, referent to the monolayer, was on an average of 4,4g H2O/100g dry solids, which confirms the process efficiency. The hysteresis behavior presented by the powdered product was similar of the whole powdered milk. The product acceptance was of 74%, close to the commercial powdered milk acceptance.

Estabilidade do néctar misto de cajá e umbu
(2007-09) MATTIETTO, Rafaella de Andrade; LOPES, Alessandra Santos; MENEZES, Hilary Castle de
The trends of the food industry are dictated by the consumer market and by its social behavior. Today, there is a growing demand for healthful food products, and exotic fruits are being used increasingly, aiming at the innovation. Cajá and umbu are tropical fruits widely commercialized in Brazil’s northern and northeastern regions and the development of products based on these fruits has proved an interesting option thanks to their flavor and functional characteristics. A mixed nectar of cajú and umbu was prepared and pasteurised at 90 °C/60 sec. The product was characterized physicochemically and its stability was evaluated over a period of 3 months, during which its pH, total acidity, tannins, total carotenoids, total and reducing sugars, color were analyzed microbiologically and sensorially. The results indicated good overall sensory acceptance (84.76%) and intent to buy (90.62%). The product presented an energetic value of 68.16 kcal.100 g –1, proving to be rich in tannins and vitamin C. The heat treatment employed proved effective for a storage period of up to 60 days, after which the sugars in the nectar began to display modifications and the product showed browning and fungal growth. These changes were reflected in the sensory scores obtained at 60 days, with the acceptance rate dropping to 65.66% and the intent to buy to 68.4%.

Estudo das propriedades físico-químicas e microbiológicas no processamento da farinha de mandioca do grupo d'água
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2007-06) CHISTÉ, Renan Campos; COHEN, Kelly de Oliveira; MATHIAS, Erla de Assunção; RAMOA JÚNIOR, Afonso Guilherme Araújo
The aim of this work was to define the physical-chemical characterization of the processing stages of cassava flour from the water group and identify microbiological and physical contaminants. The samples were collected in a flour mill located in Castanhal, Pará. The selected points were: peeled and washed cassava after (MD); triturated cassava (MT), pressed cassava (MP); and cassava flour (FM) analysing humidity and acidity at all the points of collection and for the cassava flour, ash, water activity, proteins, fats and starch. The initial humidity of the MD sample was from 59.22 to 62.64%, obtaining the flour humidity from 1.43 to 2.12%. The initial acidity was high (from 4.91 to 5.96 meq NaOH.100 g -1) in the MD, gradually increasing until attaining flour (6.54 to 10.19 meq NaOH.100 g -1), whereby legislation requires 3 meq NaOH.100 g -1. For the starch, the value was from 73.19 to 75.31% according to legislation (minimum 70%). The flour showed an acceptable value for the legislation to Coliformes (<3 NMP.g -1). For the Bacillus cereus, the flour showed a value of <1 x 101 UFC.g -1, allowing for the legislation and absence of Salmonella. The flour showed dirtiness.

Physicochemical properties of three sugary cassava landraces
(2013-05) SOUZA, Hugo Antonio Lima de; BENTES, Ádria de Sousa; LADEIRA, Taiana Marina Souza; LOPES, Alessandra Santos; PENA, Rosinelson da Silva
This study evaluates the physical and physicochemical properties of three sugary cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) landraces: São Francisco Bag 3, Manicueira 62, and Castanhal Iracema. These three landraces showed high estimated productivity (≥3.93kg plant-1) and had a high sugar content (≥3.92g 100g-1 of root), making them viable for use in syrup production, especially the São Francisco Bag 3 landrace (4.76g 100g-1). The Manicueira 62 landrace had the highest starch content (4.40g 100g-1). The three sugary cassava landraces exhibited high levels of cyanide (>195mg kg-1), indicating the need for processing prior to consumption.

Processing of Brazil-nut flour: characterization, thermal and morphological analysis
(2010-05) SANTOS, Orquídea Vasconcelos dos; LOPES, Alessandra Santos; AZEVEDO, Glaucinéia Oliveira; SANTOS, Ângela Maria Chagas
The Brazil nut (Bertholletia excelsea H. B. K.) is noteworthy for its high content of lipids and proteins of elevated biological value and these factors justify the need for further research and incentives for the manufacturing of new trade products. In the present study we sought new forms of technological use of these nuts by the food industry, through their processing as flour, with no alteration in its energy content. The results after its elaboration showed a product with high energy value (431.48 kcal.100 g–1), protein content of 45.92 g.100 g–1, and fiber of 17.14%. The thermal analyses indicate that the introduction of another protein component, such as soy protein isolate, does not alter the reactions or thermal behavior. On the other hand, morphological analyses revealed granular structures similar to the structure of globular proteins. It was observed that after processing to obtain the flour, the product maintains its protein-energy content, as well as its characteristics when subjected to high temperatures.

Qualidade da farinha de mandioca do grupo seca
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2006-12) CHISTÉ, Renan Campos; COHEN, Kelly de Oliveira; MATHIAS, Erla de Assunção; RAMOA JÚNIOR, Afonso Guilherme Araújo
In the north of Brazil, cassava flour is produced in small-scale processing units called ´flour mill houses'. These processing units have difficulty in complying with current legislation due to processing methods and to poor sanitary conditions. The objective of this study is to evaluate the quality standard of cassava flour from the dry group, subgroup "fina", type 1. Ten samples of cassava flour were collected from the main supermarkets and free markets in Belém-PA, and the physical-chemical, microbiological and dirt research analyses were carried out. According to Regulation nº 554 from 08/30/1995 issued by the State Agriculture Secretariat, all cassava flour samples analyzed showed total acidity values above the permitted standard (3 meq NaOH/100 g) and five samples were below the minimum tolerance level required for starch (75%). According to Resolution RDC nº 12 from 01/02/2001 of the National Sanitary Control Agency, all cassava flour samples were under the acceptable standards for microbiological contaminants. According to Resolution CNNPA nº 12 from 1978, eight of the analyzed samples did not comply to the permitted standards because they showed dirt.
