Cerveja com jabuticaba : caracterização físico-química, energética e sensorial /

Imaizumi, Vitor Massami, 1989. January 2019 (has links)
Orientador: Waldemar Gastoni Venturini Filho / Banca: Ricardo Figueira / Banca: Vanildo Luiz Del Bianchi / Banca: Luciana Trevisan Brunelli / Banca: João Batista de Almeida e Silva / Resumo: Atualmente os cervejeiros artesanais e caseiros vêm ganhando grande destaque no mercado nacional por apresentarem cervejas diferenciadas. O movimento dos cervejeiros caseiros e artesanais engloba a liberdade de adicionar características peculiares à bebida, com auxílio de uma gama de ingredientes (temperos, frutas, xaropes, extratos) podendo agregar assim perfis sensoriais que remetem ao provador uma identidade própria de um local. Dessa forma, o presente trabalho teve por objetivo utilizar a jabuticaba (Myrciaria cauliflora Berg.), fruto tipicamente brasileiro, na produção de uma cerveja de baixa fermentação (lager) do tipo fruit beer (cerveja com fruta), no intuito de agregar características sensoriais desta fruta a uma das bebidas mais consumidas do mundo. Esta tese foi dividida em cinco capítulos, sendo o primeiro uma revisão bibliográfica da temática abordada e, os demais, diferentes manuscritos relacionados ao planejamento experimental e à execução da pesquisa. Os capítulos de dois a cinco referem à maneira em que o fruto foi utilizado na fabricação da cerveja. O segundo capítulo corresponde à adição de frutos inteiros congelados in natura ao mosto nas etapas de fervura, fermentação e maturação. O terceiro capítulo corresponde à adição de frutos inteiros desidratados ao mosto nas mesmas etapas anteriores. O quarto capítulo do trabalho corresponde à produção de um xarope de jabuticaba (60 °Brix) e sua adição na cerveja. Para os três capítulos citados, utilizou-se como ba...

The movement of homemade and craft breweries includes the freedom to improve the beverage characteristics, using a range of ingredients (spices, fruit, syrups, extracts), thus adding sensory profiles that reminds the taster an especific place. The objective of this work was to use jabuticaba (Myrciaria cauliflora Berg.), a typical Brazilian fruit, in the production of a bottom fermented beer (lager), fruit beer style, in order to provide jabuticaba's features to one of the most consumed beverages in the world. This thesis is divided into five chapters. Chapter one regards a general review of the subject. Chapters two to five are manuscripts describing the way jabuticaba was used in brewing. The second chapter describes the addition of whole frozen fruits to the wort in the stages of boiling, fermentation and maturation. The third chapter describes the addition of whole dried fruits to the wort in the same previous stages. The fourth chapter of the work describes the production of a jabuticaba syrup (60 °Brix) and its addition to the beer. An American lager beer style was used as the base for producing the previous three chapters. The fifth chapter describes the production of a fruit beer, Czech lager style, with jabuticaba extract. All beers produced were physicochemical and sensory analyzed. The results of this research indicate that jabuticaba is a fruit that presents great potential for a fruit beer production; can be used by several ways during brewing; improves both physicochemical and sensory features, providing a Brazilian identity to the beverage / Doutor

The Effectiveness of the Implementation of the Kids Eat Right RD Parent Empowerment Program at Johnson City Head Start Centers

Stern, Emily M 01 May 2014 (has links)
Obesity among children is a public health concern. Preschool-­‐aged children, especially those from low-­‐income families, are no exception to the obesity epidemic. During the RD Parent Empowerment Program, parents of Head Start children in Johnson City, TN completed a structured education program over the course of 4 workshops related to healthy habits of families. The goal was to empower parents to shop smart, cook healthy, and eat right. The Family Nutrition and Physical Activity (FNPA) screening tool was used as an assessment tool to evaluate behavior change over the course of the program. Improvement in overall FNPA score was seen at the conclusion of the program. Individual assessment of breakfast consumption, family meal patterns, fruit and vegetable intake, beverage choices, and restriction occurred. Participation in the RD Parent Empowerment Program resulted in maintaining healthy behaviors or improved behaviors for many participants. A larger sample may provide more conclusive results.

Effects of televised alcohol advertisements on the drinking behaviour of youth:a case study of Praktiseer community in Greater Tubatse Municipality

Mapulane, Mawethu Glemar January 2014 (has links)
Thesis ( M.A. (Media Studies)) --University of Limpopo, 2014 / This study investigates the effects of televised alcohol advertisements on the drinking behaviour of youth in Praktiseer community of the Greater Tubatse Municipality. The nature and trends of alcohol consumption in South Africa are examined. The study also focuses on the impact of alcohol exposure, and the costs alcohol abuse can incur on the individual and society at large. The types of advertising models and the regulatory systems in advertising were identified. Data were collected through a self- administered questionnaire. The study hypothesised that the exposure to alcohol advertisements influences alcohol abuse among the youth. However, alcohol industry claims that the youth is not its niche market and hence should not be blamed for any abusive behaviour of alcohol by the youth. Just like the few studies interested in the effects of alcohol advertising, alcohol exposure and alcohol abuse, the present study also reveals that televised alcohol advertisements have a great influence in alcohol consumption among the youth in Praktiseer community.

How the Curricula of the Special Navajo Programs Meet the Needs of the Students at the Intermountain School in Regard to Their Use of Alcoholic Beverages

Munz, C. Stewart 01 May 1960 (has links)
Straddling the Continental Divide, from the Chuska Mountains to the San Juan and Little Colorado rivers, mostly in Arizona, but partly in New Mexico and Utah, lies 23,574 square miles of desert; home to the estimate l75 to 90 thousand Navajo Indians. Unable to more than eke out a bare existence in a barren land where almost 30 acres of range are needed to sustain one sheep, unprepared after generations of isolation and neglect to leave this reservation for areas where a descend standard of living can be had, the Navajos, since 1950, have been the object of a "crash" program of rehabilitation by the United states Government.

How to Place Products Without the Use of Product Placement : "If You Notice, It's Bad. But If You Don't , It's Worthless"

Jinnemo, Marie, Pettersson, Sandra January 2011 (has links)
Purpose: The thesis will contribute to an understanding of how the process of product placement functions and how the new Swedish Radio and Television law has, so far, influenced the different parties involved in the product placement process. The thesis will also give an insight in how the different parties involved , handle the ethical issues around product placement and product placement with alcoholic beverages. The purpose is also to give an understanding of if and how alcoholic beverages can be exposed in television despite the new conditions that the Swedish Radio and Television law has caused. Research questions: What impact has the new Swedish Radio and Television law had on the different parties involved in the product placement process? How do the different parties involved in the product placement process reflect upon and handle the ethical issues around product placement, specifically with alcoholic beverages? How do comapnies working with alcoholic beverages manage to place their products in Swedish television within the new law regulation? Method: The primary empirical investigation is qualitative and seventeen semi-structured interviews were conducted, both by telephone and personal. There were also four focus groups made. Conclusion: The interpretation of the law is different between the parties involved in a product placement process. Even though the parties have a clearer picture of what is defined as product placement , what is allowed and not, there are still differences about how to apply the law. The different parties involved did not have any major ethical issues with product placement in general or product placement with alcoholic beverages. Companies working woth alcoholic beverages manage to show their products in television, though it is illegal to place these products. After the study, it was evident that they instead chosse to sponsor with their products in different productions. The consumer have not been affected by the new law due to their lack of knowledge about the regulations about product placement.

Drivers of demand, interrelationships, and nutritional impacts within the nonalcoholic beverage complex

Pittman, Grant Falwell 01 November 2005 (has links)
This study analyzes the economic and demographic drivers of household demand for at-home consumption of nonalcoholic beverages in 1999. Drivers of available intake of calories, calcium, vitamin C, and caffeine associated with the purchase of nonalcoholic beverages also are analyzed. The 1999 ACNielsen HomeScan Panel, purchased by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service, is the source of the data for this project. Many different classifications of beverages were analyzed including milk(whole, reduced fat, flavored, and non-flavored), regular and low-calorie carbonated soft drinks, powdered soft drinks, isotonics(sports drinks), juices(orange, apple, vegetable, and other juices), fruit drinks, bottled water, coffee(regular and decaffeinated), and tea(regular and decaffeinated). Probit models were used to find demographic drivers that affect the choice to purchase a nonalcoholic beverage. Heckman sample selection models and cross tabulations were used to find demographic patterns pertaining to the amount of purchase of the nonalcoholic beverages. The nutrient analysis indicated that individuals receive 211 calories, 217 mg of calcium, 45 mg of vitamin C, and 95 mg of caffeine per day from all nonalcoholic beverages. A critical finding for the nutrient analysis was that persons within households below 130% of poverty were receiving more calories and caffeine from nonalcoholic beverages compared to persons within households above 130% of poverty. Likewise, persons in households below 130% of poverty were receiving less calcium and vitamin C from nonalcoholic beverages compared to persons in households above 130% of poverty. Price and cross-price elasticities were examined using the LA/AIDS model. Methodological concerns of data frequency, beverage aggregations, and censoring techniques were explored and discussed. Own-price and cross-price elasticities for the beverages were uncovered. Price elasticities by selected demographic groups also were investigated. Results indicated that price elasticities varied by demographics, specifically for race, region, and presence of children within the household. The information uncovered in this dissertation helps to update consumer demand knowledge and nutritional intake understanding in relation to nonalcoholic beverages. The information can be used as a guide for marketing strategists for targeting and promotion as well as for policy makers looking to improve nutritional intake received from nonalcoholic beverages.

The role of individual differences in learning alcohol expectancy associations [electronic resource] / by Howard R. Steinberg.

Steinberg, Howard R. January 2003 (has links)
Includes vita. / Title from PDF of title page. / Document formatted into pages; contains 97 pages. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of South Florida, 2003. / Includes bibliographical references. / Text (Electronic thesis) in PDF format. / ABSTRACT: Alcohol expectancy theory suggests that genetically influenced personality characteristics may lead to differential acquisition of expectancy information, and that this information then may serve as one mediational pathway for alcoholism risk. Research has already shown that expectancy information can predict and even mediate risk, but it has yet to be shown that personality traits can influence the acquisition of alcohol expectancy information. To that end, personality characteristics known to be risk factors for the development of excessive alcohol use were assessed in 83 male undergraduates. In addition, each participant studied, in a paired-associate learning/cued-recall test paradigm, a list of word pairs matching alcohol content words (keg, beer), positive/arousing alcohol expectancy words (happy, fun), and neutral words (backpack, desk). / ABSTRACT: Their rate of learning the second word from each pair after being cued with the first word was then assessed across three trials of this task, and overall learning of the pairs was then assessed using free-recall. To determine whether learning rates for each type of word pair was a function of participants' status on the personality risk measures, hierarchical regression analyses were conducted for cued- and free-recall data. Results indicated that higher sensation seeking, more drinking-related problems, and a lesser degree of a family history of alcohol problems were predictive of greater recall for word pairs containing alcohol and expectancy information. Consistent with predictions, these risk indicators were also associated with a higher rate of learning for the alcohol and expectancy pairs. / ABSTRACT: These findings suggest that significant differences exist in the ability to learn alcohol to expectancy word associations, and lend support to recent theories that implicate individual difference factors as a predisposition for the development of problematic alcohol to expectancy associations in memory. / System requirements: World Wide Web browser and PDF reader. / Mode of access: World Wide Web.
