Blackberry can be considered a source of phenolic compounds with antioxidant properties, especially anthocyanins, which are responsible for the attractive color of the juice. However, blackberry juice quality can be reduced under severe heat treatments, resulting in darkened color and altered taste. Membrane separation processes are an alternative...
Passion fruit (Passiflora edulis Sims f. flavicarpa DEG) is a tropical fruit widespread in Brazil, the largest producer and consumer in the world. As a climacteric fruit, it continues the ripening process after being detached from the plant, resulting in a short shelf life, with post-harvest problems, such as wilting and susceptibility to attack by...
Tomato pomace is rich in carotenoids (mainly lycopene), which are related to important bioactive properties. In general, carotenoids are known to react easily under environmental conditions, which may create a barrier in producing stable functional components for food. This work intended to evaluate the storage stability and in vitro release of lyc...
Pineapple peel still contains an important amount of phenolic compounds and vitamins with valuable antioxidant activity. In this way, the aim of this study was the recovery of the bioactive compounds from pineapple peel using environmentally friendly and low-cost techniques, envisaging their application in food products. From the solid-liquid extra...
The application of abiotic stresses by moderate hydrostatic pressures (MHP) is still underdeveloped. Abiotic stresses allow activating the enzymatic complexes inducing the synthesis of de novo bioactive compounds. Pineapple by‐products are rich in bromelain and bioactive compounds that can be enhanced through abiotic stresses. The aim of this study...
Microencapsulation by spray-drying is a process used in the stabilization of active compounds from various natural sources, such as tomato by-products, with the purpose to be used as additives in the food industry. The aim of this work was to study the effects of wall material and spray drying conditions on physicochemical properties of microcapsul...
Natural bioactive compounds and living cells have been reported as promising products with beneficial properties to human health. The constant challenge regarding the use of these components is their easy degradation during processing and storage. However, their stability can be improved with the microencapsulation process, in which a compound sens...
Carotenoids are a class of natural pigments found mainly in fruits and vegetables. Among them, β -carotene is regarded the most potent precursor of vitamin A. However, it is susceptible to oxidation upon exposure to oxygen, light, and heat, which can result in loss of colour, antioxidant activity, and vitamin activity. Thus, the objective of this w...
O maior primata neotropical, o muriqui, é um componente típico da Mata Atlântica em bom estado de preservação. Auxiliado por sua cauda pênsil, consegue manter-se a grandes alturas sem fazer uso dos braços. Ao encontrar um de seus pares, frequentemente se abraçam. Esta obra trata de dez espécies de vertebrados que compõem a natureza do estado do Rio...
Parsley (Petroselinum crispum Mill.) is a species of wide production in Brazil. In the southern region of the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, it is grown by small farmers with high productivity. Lack of implementation of conservation methods generates economic product losses, for the excess of production. The cleaning has as primary objective to p...
Parsley is a species of wide production and trade in Brazil due to its high consumption as a condiment, fresh or dried. In the development of equipment used for drying, it is important to simulate and obtain theoretical information about the behavior of water loss for each product. Given the increasing use and potential commercialization of condime...
ABSTRACT Green onion (Allium fistulosum L.) is widely consumed and traded in Brazil as condiment. Because of the high yields in the region of Volta Redonda - RJ and the alternative of drying as a method for preserving the excess production, the objective of this study was to evaluate the drying process of green onions, considering the microbiologic...
The objective of this study was to examine the kinetics of drying and shrinkage of the the indian cherryfruit in natura (Malphighiaemarginata DC), as well as obtaining the values of liquid diffusion during the drying process. The fruits of the indian cherrywere dried at temperatures of 40 º C, 55 º C and 70 ° C. During the drying behavior was analy...
The drying process is used to remove some water from the product, in order to increase the shelf life, to minimize post-harvest losses in excess of production and owing to the shrinkage, reducing the cost of packaging, transport and storage. Thus, the objective of this work was to study the drying of fig, analysis of shrinkage, as well as obtaining...
O presente trabalho teve como objetivo o estudo da cinética de secagem, análise da contração volumétrica, bem como, obter os valores de difusão líquida durante o processo de secagem dos frutos do morango. Os frutos do morango foram submetidos à secagem nas temperaturas do ar de 40, 55 e 70 °C. Ao longo da secagem foi estudado o comportamento do fru...
The parsley and Welsh onion are spices widely produced and consumed in Brazil. Their marketing is made of fresh or dried plant; where they are sell alone or together. This spices spices have medicinal properties, the parsley is considered diuretic and indicated for cardiovascular diseases and Welsh onion is antioxidant and for immune system. This s...
