Afin de contribuer à la préservation du patrimoine laitier libanais, l'objectif principal de cette étude a été de caractériser le fromage Darfiyeh, une variété traditionnelle fabriquée à partir de lait de chèvre cru et affinée dans une outre en peau de chèvre. Parallèlement à cet objectif, et pour mieux comprendre l'affinage du Darfiyeh, le transfert de composés d’arôme à travers la peau de chèvre a été étudié au moyen d’un dispositif expérimental original. Trois lots indépendants de production de Darfiyeh ont été analysés après 20, 40 et 60 jours d'affinage. Les résultats des analyses physico-chimiques ont montré que le Darfiyeh est un fromage à pâte mi-dure, caractérisé par une protéolyse et une lipolyse modérées. Le 3-méthyl butanal, le 1-phényl éthanol et le 1-octanol contribuent à la fraction aromatique particulière du Darfiyeh. Les analyses microbiologiques ont mis en évidence (Log cfu.g-1 fromage) des lactobacilles mésophiles (7,1-10,4), des bactéries lactiques (BL) thermophiles cocciformes (6,6-8,4) et des lactobacilles thermophiles (5,5-7,2). Afin d'explorer l'écosystème naturel du Darfiyeh, une combinaison d'approches classiques et moléculaires a été appliquée. L'identification classique a révélé des espèces appartenant aux genres Streptococcus, Enterococcus, Lactococcus et Lactobacillus. Les profils de Temporal Temperature Gel Electrophoresis (TTGE) ont révélé des bandes communes avec l'identification classique. Des analyses menées par PCR spécifiques de l'espèce bactérienne ont confirmé la présence of S. thermophilus, E. faecium, E. durans, Lc. lactis subsp. lactis et Lc. lactis subsp. cremoris. La PCR en temps réel a permis la quantification de S. thermophilus et d' E. faecium, avec un seuil de détection respectif de 104 ufc.g-1 de Darfiyeh et une gamme de 107-109 ufc.g-1 de Darfiyeh, respectivement. Pour le transfert d'arômes à travers la peau de chèvre, l'absorption et la perméabilité de trois molécules aromatiques modèles (2-butanone, 2,3-butanedione, 2-butanol) dans un système solution aqueuse/peau de chèvre a été suivi, après 20, 40 et 60 jours d'exposition. Jusqu'à 40 j d'exposition, le transfert des molécules aromatiques était régi par leurs propriétés physico-chimiques et par le temps d'exposition. Après 60 j, le système solution aqueuse/peau s’est traduit par une tendance à la migration des molécules modèles depuis la peau vers la solution simulée de Darfiyeh. Autrement dit, le transfert de ces molécules modèles dans le système simulé paraît s’établir de façon cyclique. Ce travail est une première contribution scientifique et technique au secteur de la valorisation durable de la tradition fromagère libanaise / In order to contribute for the preservation of the Lebanese dairy heritage, the aim of this study was to characterize Darfiyeh cheese, a traditional variety made from raw goats' milk and ripened in goat's skin. Parallel to this objective, and for a better understanding of Darfiyeh ripening, aroma transfer towards goat skin was conducted through an experimental device. Three independent batches of Darfiyeh production were analyzed after 20, 40 and 60 days of ripening. Physico-chemical results showed that Darfiyeh is a semi-hard goat's milk cheese which undergoes a moderate proteolysis and lipolysis. 3-methyl butanal, 1-phenyl ethanol and 1-octanol contribute to the distinctive aromatic fraction of Darfiyeh. As for microbiological results, bacterial counts (Log cfu.g-1 cheese) for mesophilic lactobacilli (7.1-10.4), thermophilic coccal-shaped lactic acid bacteria (LAB) (6.6-8.4) and thermophilic lactobacilli (5.5-7.2) were found. In order to explore Darfiyeh natural ecosystem, a combination of classical and molecular approaches was applied. Classical identification revealed members of the genera Streptococcus, Enterococcus, Lactococcus and Lactobacillus. Temporal Temperature Gel Electrophoresis (TTGE) profiles revealed common bands between the classical identification. Species-specific polymerase chain reactions (PCR) confirmed the presence of S. thermophilus, E. faecium, E. durans, Lc. lactis subsp. lactis and Lc. lactis subsp. cremoris. Real time PCR enabled quantification of S. thermophilus and E. faecium, with a detection threshold of 104 ufc.g-1 of Darfiyeh and a range of 107-109 ufc.g-1 of Darfiyeh, respectively. As for aroma transfer towards goat skin, absorption and permeability of three model aroma molecules (2-butanone, 2,3-butanedione, 2-butanol) in aqueous solution/goat skin system were followed, after 20, 40 and 60 days of exposure. Until 40 days, the transfer of aroma molecules was dependent on their physico-chemical properties and exposure time. After 60 days, the molecules migrate from the skin to the aqueous solution. Therefore, in such a simulated system, aromatic molecules seem to move under a cyclic way. This work is a first scientific and technical contribution to the preservation of traditional Lebanese cheesemaking

Objetivou-se, com este trabalho, o desenvolvimento de uma tecnologia para produção de doce de umbu de corte com leite e sem leite preservando o sabor característico da fruta e de aceitação sensorial. Os frutos foram cozidos em água durante 5 minutos após fervura, em seguida foi feita a extração da polpa de forma manual, a massa obtida foi homogeneizada e acondicionadas em freezer horizontal à temperatura de -30ºC. Foram investigados, assim, as características, físicas, físico-quimicas, químicas, microbiológicas da polpa pré-cozida e dos doces de corte de umbu, o comportamento reológico das diferentes formulações para a elaboração dos doces a 5, 10, 15 e 25 ºC, as curvas de congelamento das formulações nas temperaturas de -20, -50 e -75ºC, além da avaliação instrumental de textura, teste TPA e da análise descritiva de ordenação dos doces de corte de umbu. Os doces que apresentaram maior porcentagem de leite/açúcar (I) 89,32% e açúcar (II) 85,21% em suas formulações resultaram em um maior rendimento e tempo de preparo dos doces. No estudo reológico para uma tensão de cisalhamento fixa a taxa de deformação diminui com o aumento da temperatura, confirmando o caráter não newtoniano e comportamento pseudoplástico, os modelos de Herschel-Bulkley e Mizrahi-Berk apresentaram ajustes semelhantes e também foram os melhores modelos para todas as formulações estudadas. As curvas de congelamento apresentaram as três fases bem definidas e um comportamento tendencioso, no qual a difusividade efetiva média aumenta à medida que diminui a quantidade de água e aumenta os sólidos presentes nas amostras. A avaliação do parâmetro de firmeza indica que o aumento da concentração de polpa de umbu aumenta o valor da adesividade, uma vez que o processo faz com que o tempo de cocção seja maior, tornando o produto mais firme e consequentemente, mais adesivo. Os valores de gomosidade e mastigabilidade apresentam o mesmo comportamento da firmeza, em que, quanto maior for a concentração da polpa de umbu nos doces elaborados, maior será a energia necessária para mastigar o produto. Percebe-se que o doce (II) sem adição de leite em sua formulação apresentou o maior valor médio (4,41) na análise de preferência, aparência (4,64), cor (5,05) e consistência (4,41), o que indica a maior preferência pelos julgadores. No entanto, mesmo os doces sem adição de leite possuindo coloração semelhante aos doces comerciais de goiaba a similaridade desses doces não influenciou nos resultados dessa pesquisa, conforme as médias de preferência foram verificadas também nos doces de umbu com adição de leite nas formulações, I (4,11), III (3,73) e V (4,12) o que resulta na boa aceitação pelos julgadores. / The umbu has great potential to be exploited and the development of new technologies aiming to establish conditions that delay ripening, maintain quality and prolong shelf life, will contribute to minimize postharvest losses and the emergence of new products on the market, such as fruit preserves that can stimulate the strengthening of family farming and the development of small agro-industries. The objective of this work was the development of a technology for the production of umbu sweet paste with milk and without milk preserving the characteristic fruit flavor and sensory acceptance. The fruits were boiled in after boiling water for 5 minutes, then the pulp was extracted manually, the mass obtained was homogenized and conditioned in a horizontal freezer at the temperature of -30 ° C. Several characterization techniques were employed namely: the physical, chemical, physicochemical, and microbiological characteristics of the precooked pulp and the umbu paste; the rheological behavior of the different formulations for the preparation of umbu pastes at 5, 10, 15 and 25 ºC; the freezing curves of those formulations at temperatures of -20, -50 and -75ºC; as well as the instrumental evaluation of texture, TPA test and the descriptive analysis of the order of the umbu paste. The sweets that presented the highest percentage of milk / sugar (I) 89.32% and sugar (II) 85.21% in their formulations resulted in a higher yield and higher preparation time of the umbu paste. In the rheological study, using a constant shear stress, the rate of deformation decreases with increasing temperature, confirming the non-Newtonian character and the pseudoplastic behavior, where the Herschel-Bulkley and Mizrahi-Berk models presented similar adjustments and were also the best models for all the formulations studied. The freezing curves presented the three well defined phases and a biased behavior, where the average effective diffusivity increases with decreasing water content and increasing solids content in samples. The evaluation of the firmness parameter indicates that the increase of the concentration of umbu pulp increases the value of the adhesiveness, due to the necessity of larger cooking times making the product firmer and consequently more adhesive. The guminess and chewiness values show the same firmness behavior, which is the higher the concentration of the umbu pulp in the umbu paste, the greater the energy required to chew the product. It was observed that the umbu paste (II) without added milk in its formulation had the highest mean value (4.41) in the analysis of preference, appearance (4.64), color (5.05) and consistency (4.41), which indicates the highest preference of the judges. However, eventhough the umbu paste without added milk had similar coloration to the commercial guava paste, the similarity of both pastes did not influence the results of the present research, as the averages of preference were also verified in the umbu paste with addition of milk in the formulations, I (4,11), III (3,73) and V (4,12) which results in a good acceptance by the judges.
