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

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.

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.
