Orientador: Waldemar Gastoni Venturini Filho / Banca: Elisa Angela Marques J. Torres / Banca: Ricardo Figueira / Resumo: O objetivo do presente trabalho foi produzir e caracterizar por meio de análises físico-químicas, energéticas e sensoriais refrescos adoçados de jabuticaba, visando o aproveitamento tecnológico e agregação de valor a frutos de jabuticabeira. As matérias-primas utilizadas foram jabuticabas Sabará, açúcar cristal e água duplamente filtrada. O experimento foi desenvolvido em duas etapas. Os ensaios de produção de refresco adoçado de jabuticaba na etapa 1 foram desenvolvidos a partir de seis tratamentos, combinando-se dois métodos de extração de sólidos solúveis (utilizando a jabuticaba inteira e esmagada) e três formulações do refresco adoçado de jabuticaba com diferentes concentrações de sólidos solúveis (10, 12 e 14°Brix). Na etapa 2 os refrescos adoçados de jabuticaba foram elaborados a partir da diluição do xarope (60 e 70°Brix) para obtenção dos refrescos à 12°Brix. Em todos os experimentos os refrescos adoçados de jabuticaba foram analisados físico-quimicamente em relação aos teores de sólidos solúveis, pH, acidez total, ratio, açúcares redutores, açúcares redutores totais, turbidez, bem como tiveram os teores de nutrientes (carboidratos, proteínas, lipídeos, umidade e cinzas) e valores energéticos determinados por meio de análise centesimal. A análise sensorial foi realizada por meio de testes afetivos de aceitação. Na etapa 1, o método de extração, a concentração de sólidos solúveis e a interação desses fatores interferiram nas variáveis físicas (turbidez) e químicas (°Brix, acidez total, AR e cálculo do ratio) de todas as amostras das bebidas elaboradas neste experimento, com exceção dos valores de pH e ART. Energeticamente o método de extração influenciou os teores de proteínas e lipídios presentes nos refresco adoçados de jabuticaba. Os refrescos não apresentaram diferença sensorial quanto ao método de extração utilizado / Abstract: The aim of this work was to produce and characterize through physical- chemical, energy and soft drinks sweetened jaboticaba sensory analyzes, aiming to use technology and adding value to the fruits. The raw materials used were jaboticaba Sabara, crystal sugar and doubly filtered water. The experiment was conducted in two stages. Assays of producing sweetened soft drink jaboticaba in step 1 were developed from six treatments combining two methods of extraction of soluble solids ( using the whole and crushed blemish blemish) and three formulations of soft drink sweetened with different concentrations jaboticaba soluble solids (10, 12 and 14°Brix). In step 2 the soft drink sweetened jaboticaba were prepared by diluting the syrup (60 and 70°Brix) for obtaining refreshments at 12°Brix. In all experiments jaboticaba sweetened soft drinks were analyzed physico-chemically with respect to soluble solids, pH, total acidity, ratio, reducing sugars, total reducing sugars, turbidity, and had the levels of nutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, 4 lipid, moisture and ash) and energy values determined by proximate analysis. Sensory analysis was performed by means of affective acceptance tests. In step 1, the extraction method, the concentration of soluble solids and the interaction of these factors interfered with physical (turbidity) and chemical variables (°Brix, total acidity, and calculation of the AR ratio) of all samples of beverages prepared in this experiment, except for the values pH and ART. The energy extraction method influenced the levels of proteins and lipids present in soft drink sweetened jaboticaba. Refreshments showed no sensory difference to the extraction method used, but showed significant sensory difference in the concentration of soluble solids present in soft drink (10, 12 and 14°) and refreshments 12 and 14°Brix and the most appreciated in all... / Mestre

The South African wine market is undergoing changes at both the producer and retail levels, such as the influx of the new brands and new consumer demands with respect to health, biodiversity concerns and ethical issues. Although South Africa has no dominant wine culture and South Africans are predominantly beer and brandy drinkers, the industry has to develop the local market, especially the black consumer market. The most powerful marketing trend in the South African economy in the last 10 years has been the emergence and growth of the black middle class, increasingly referred to as Black Diamonds, which have emerged as the strongest buying influence in the economy. This has seen the propagation of a westernized culture in local communities. There is an overwhelming desire among the latter group to have access to a lifestyle they believe is their right. Making inroads in understanding this market presents a good opportunity since this is an important economic group. Black wine drinkers have to overcome individual families' attitudes to wine drinking. It is high on the industry’s agenda to swing the emerging black middle class market from high-end whiskies, cognac and beer, to wine while at the same time promoting the wine culture because this market is still hugely untapped. They also seek to vanquish the illusion of wines as a drink for white people by focusing on young upcoming black professionals as a target market. The data in this study was collected from an integration of a consumer behaviour survey (through a choice based conjoint analysis undertaken at the Soweto wine festival in Johannesburg); as well as personal interviews with industry stakeholders and reference group discussions. The study found that although there is limited consumer knowledge about wines and low levels of brand awareness, black consumers are willing and yearning to learn more about wines as they view them as an aspirational lifestyle beverage. The study also asserts that women are significantly more adventurous than their male counterparts in terms of experimenting with wines although the latter exhibit a higher willingness to pay for what they consider to be premium wine brands. Black consumers are still unsure about what wine attributes are important in choosing a wine. The industry needs to increase its efforts in educating and understanding this diverse market as the cultural attitudes towards wine are indeed changing. The study identified four wine consumer market segments among the Black Diamonds. The industry’s target market should be focused on women and the “Start me up” age group as they show the highest willingness to learn about wines and pay for brands that they consider to be premium brands as has been the case in all new wine markets. While still focusing on the 4 P’s of marketing, various new brand communication platforms can be explored to reach this market. These include co-opetition, extended service offerings, wine tourism and e-marketing. The success of the domestic market will be determined by new innovative insights into this market and complimentary market strategies. / Dissertation (MSc(Agric))--University of Pretoria, 2009. / Agricultural Economics, Extension and Rural Development / unrestricted
