As indústrias beneficiadoras de frutas são responsáveis por gerar grandes quantidades de resíduos, entre eles, os do maracujá. A polpa do maracujá é um dos principais produtos comercializados a partir da fruta, sendo as cascas e sementes os subprodutos resultantes de seu processamento. O objetivo deste trabalho foi desenvolver iogurte com adição de polpa e farinha de maracujá elaborada a partir dos subprodutos da industrialização da fruta. No total, foram avaliadas sete amostras de iogurte dentre as quais cinco apresentavam em sua composição a farinha de maracujá. Foram realizadas análises físico-químicas, microbiológicas, verificação de resíduos de agrotóxicos, teste de aceitação sensorial, verificação da intenção de compra, análise descritiva quantitativa (ADQ), estimativa da vida útil e elaboração dos rótulos dos produtos. Todos os iogurtes adicionados de farinha apresentaram elevados teores de fibra alimentar. Não foram detectados resíduos de agrotóxicos nas amostras do subproduto do maracujá. Observou-se que a incorporação da farinha de maracujá apresentou efeitos positivos na viscosidade e teor de minerais do iogurte, e negativos para aspectos como cor e pH. Verificou-se maior aceitação dos provadores para o iogurte sem adição de farinha. No entanto, o iogurte com baixa concentração do ingrediente (iogurte 2%) também apresentou aceitação satisfatória e intenção de compra relevante. A partir da ADQ, comprovou-se que a adição da polpa e da farinha de maracujá influenciou o perfil sensorial das amostras de iogurte, sendo que, os tratamentos com 2% e 4% de farinha, foram os que apresentaram maiores notas para a maioria dos atributos desejáveis para um iogurte sabor maracujá enriquecido com fibras. O tempo de vida útil do produto foi estimado em 21 dias, sendo que durante o armazenamento, observou-se elevação das taxas de sinérese, crescimento de fungos e leveduras, decréscimo do pH e do número de bactérias láticas viáveis nas amostras. Levando em consideração os dados obtidos, o iogurte com adição de 2% de farinha de maracujá foi considerado o produto mais viável para elaboração / The fruit-processing industries are responsible for generating large quantities of residues, like passion fruit byproduct. The pulp of the passion fruit is one of the main products from the fruit, and the peels and the seeds are the main byproduct resulting from its processing. The aim of this study was to develop a yogurt with passion fruit pulp and flour produced from byproduct of industrialization of fruit. In total, seven samples were evaluated yogurt among which five had flour of passion fruit in their composition. It was perfomed by physico-chemical analyses, microbiological, pesticide residue, acceptability test and purchase intent, quantitative descriptive analysis (QDA), the estimated of useful life and development of product labels. All yogurts with flour showed high levels of dietary fiber. No pesticide residues were detected in byproducts of passion fruit samples. It was observed that the incorporation of passion fruit flour showed positive effects on the mineral content and viscosity but negative aspects such as color and pH. A greater acceptance was observed for yoghurt without flour. However, the yogurt with low concentration of this ingredient (yogurt 2%) also showed satisfactory acceptance and relevant purchase intent. The ADQ showed that the addition of the pulp and passion fruit flour influenced the sensory profile of the samples. The treatments with 2% and 4% flour presented the highest scores in the most desirable attributes for a passion fruit yogurt enriched with fiber. The useful life of the product was estimated at 21 days, and during storage, it was observed increase the rate of syneresis, fungal and yeast growth, decreasing of the pH and the number of viable lactic acid bacteria in samples. Taking into account the data obtained, the yogurt with the addition of 2% of flour of passion fruit was more viable than the others

Apesar da citricultura brasileira deter a liderança mundial na produção de laranjas e de suco de laranja concentrado congelado (FCOJ, frozen concentrated orange juice), observa-se baixo consumo no mercado interno de frutos e de suco in natura, o preferido pelo consumidor brasileiro. Assim, há grande interesse no desenvolvimento de produtos, técnicas de produção e conservação específica para variedades de laranja. As indústrias que produzem suco de laranja a partir do processamento da fruta in natura, conhecido como suco pasteurizado não proveniente do suco concentrado, Not From Concentrate (NFC), enfrentam sérios problemas tecnológicos. As frutas apresentam variabilidade química e sensorial devido às características intrínsecas, podendo variar o sabor e aroma devido às diferentes variedades disponíveis ao longo do ano. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi otimizar o processo da radiação gama em suco de laranja, escolhendo a melhor dose, a fim de reduzir a contagem microbiana e não comprometer as características sensoriais e físico-químicas do suco. Definidas as doses, o objetivo foi avaliar as características microbiológicas, físico-químicas e sensoriais do suco de laranja proveniente de três variedades cítricas, submetido aos processos de pasteurização e irradiação e desenvolver uma terminologia descritiva e o perfil sensorial de suco de laranja. As amostras foram avaliadas por uma equipe treinada de nove provadores e avaliadas quanto à aceitação, com escala hedônica de sete pontos por cinquenta provadores. Tendo em vista os resultados obtidos, a radiação gama e a pasteurização contribuíram para a redução das contagens microbiológicas. No entanto, sensorialmente, os tratamentos com 4,5 e 6,0 kGy foram considerados abaixo do limite de aceitabilidade, quanto ao sabor e à impressão global. As doses estudadas mostraram reduzido impacto sobre as características físico-químicas, independente das variedades cítricas. O tratamento com 3,0 kGy resultou em suco com aroma e sabor acentuado de remédio e cozido, que provavelmente terão influência negativa na aceitabilidade do produto / The Brazilian citrus is the global leader in production of oranges and frozen concentrated orange juice (FCOJ) there is low domestic consumption of fruits and fresh juice, preferred by brazilian consumers. Thus, there is a great interest by development of products, processes and specific conservation to the cultivation of citrus varieties for the juice\'s production. The industries produce orange juice from the fresh fruit processing, known as pasteurized juice not from concentrate juice (NFC), have serious technological problems. The fruits have chemical and sensory variability due to intrinsic characteristics and can vary the flavor and smell of orange juice because the different varieties available throughout the year. The aim of this study was to optimize the process of gamma radiation in orange juice, picking the best dosage in order to reduce microbiological count and that doesn\'t compromise the sensory characteristics and physicochemical juice. Defined dosages, the objective was to evaluate the microbiological, physicochemical and sensory orange juice from different varieties subjected to pasteurization and irradiation and develop a descriptive terminology and sensory profile of orange juice. The sensorial attributes analysed in this study were appearance, smell, flavor and texture. The samples were evaluated by a trained painel of nine tasters and evaluated for acceptance, with seven-point hedonic scale for fifty tasters. In view of these results, gamma radiation and pasteurisation contributed to the reduction of microbiological counts. However, sensory, treatments with 4.5 and 6.0 kGy were considered the limit of acceptability for flavor and overall impression. The doses studied showed little impact on the physical and chemical characteristics, independent of the citrus varieties. Treatment with 3.0 kGy resulted in juice with aroma and sharp taste of medicine and baked, which will probably have a negative influence on the acceptability of the product

The relationship between qualitative data analysis software (QDAS) and the development of new methods remains underexplored. While scholars argue that software tactics are used only to implement analytic strategies, some strategies are made possible only with new software developments. Aligned with the Five-Level QDA method, we aim to address the gap in the literature by thoroughly presenting the methodological aspects of an existing narrative inquiry. To be systematic in our explanation of QDAS integration, we begin by offering background information about the original project, followed by an analytical plan, which was informed by our researcher’s subjectivity and generativity theory. We then introduce our translational process that merges our subjective narrative strategy with objective ATLAS.ti tactics into a comprehensive framework for analysis. The findings, presented as a conceptual mapping of the data, informed deeper metaphorical exploration of generativity which is discussed as a life-long process of intergenerational connectedness.

Background: Manufacturers continue to look for methods to save time in aging cheese. Complex reactions occur during cheese ripening that produce characteristic flavors and aromas. The addition of exogenous lipase enzymes is one accelerated ripening method that has been studied. Our objective was to document and compare the flavor profiles of cheddar cheeses created with either microbial lipase or animal lipase. Materials and Methods: The experiment followed a conventional formulation to create experimental batches of cheddar cheese. Kid goat lipase and three microbial lipase treatments were compared against a control. Other animal lipases were evaluated in preliminary research but were omitted in the final experiment due to bitter and unfavorable flavor development. Objective cheese parameters evaluated were texture, moisture, volatile, and free fatty acid (FFA) analysis. We observed subjective sensory properties through quantitative descriptive analysis. Results: The results of the current study showed that the addition of exogenous lipases caused minimal changes in cheese moisture and a reduction in firmness in cheese samples. Various levels of microbial and animal lipase in Cheddar cheese showed significant differences in the FFA profile of the aged cheese. Microbial lipases tended to liberate more medium and long-chain fatty acids while animal lipases tended to liberate more short-chain fatty acids. Mucor javanicus lipase was an exception among microbial lipases and liberated relatively greater amounts of short-chain fatty acids. The addition of exogenous lipase had significant impacts on cheese volatiles. Acetic acid levels decreased in the lipase-treated samples and there were changes in odd-numbered FFA. In terms of sensory analysis, the lipase-treated cheeses showed an increase in FFA flavor notes. Conclusions: If a microbial lipase were to replace kid goat lipase in the production of Cheddar cheese, the results of the current study show that Mucor javanicus microbial lipase would result in the closest free fatty acid profile and sensory characteristics to that of kid goat gastric lipase. Future studies could investigate the addition of animal lipases in cheese that traditionally makes use of exogenous lipases, such as Blue cheese, Emmental Parmesan, Romano, Provolone, and Feta cheeses.

Neste caso, é necessária a adição de culturas láticas, que irão conferir ao produto características sensoriais diferenciadas. Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a qualidade de queijo de coalho produzido com adição de diferentes culturas láticas endógenas utilizando a Análise Descritiva Quantitativa (ADQ), teste de aceitabilidade e análise de alguns parâmetros físico-químicos. Foram utilizadas três culturas láticas: LA-02 (Lactobacillus acidofilus); RE-02 (Lactococcus ssp) e Blend (Lactococcus ssp + Lactobacillus acidofilus). A equipe da ADQ foi composta por 11 julgadores treinados. No teste de aceitabilidade utilizou-se 50 consumidores previamente selecionados por questionário. Os parâmetros físico-químicos avaliados foram: umidade, cinzas, gordura em base seca, proteínas, pH, acidez e cloretos. A aceitabilidade dos queijos produzidos pelo LA-02 e Blend foram maiores para os atributos sabor, 7.38 e 6.92 e, respectivamente. Pela ADQ foram levantados 13 termos descritores para queijo coalho. A amostra Blend foi caracterizada pela cor amarela, firmeza, aroma típico de queijo de coalho, sabor típico de queijo de coalho, elasticidade e mastigabilidade. O queijo produzido com LA-02 foi caracterizado pelo sabor ácido, homogeneidade e maciez. As três amostras avaliadas apresentaram valores de umidade e gordura dentro das especificações exigidas pela legislação vigente. As culturas LA-02 e Blend foram as que melhor desenvolveram as características típicas de queijo coalho. / Abstract The utilization of pasteurized Milk to coalho cheese process guarantees the product quality on the microbiological aspect. In this case, it needs the addition of lactic culture and so that, the product comes out with differing sensorial characteristics. The objective of this work was to evaluate the coalho cheese quality, produced by adding lactic culture endogen using coalho cheese. The objective of this work was to evaluate the coalho cheese quality produced by adding endogen lactic culture utilizing the Quantities Descriptive Analysis (QDA), test of acceptability and analysis of some physical-chemical parameters. It was utilized three lactic cultures: LA-02 (Lactobacillus acidophilus); RE-02 (Lactococcus ssp) and Blend (Lactococcus ssp + Lactobacillus acidophilus). The team of QDA was with eleven people to judge it. The acceptability utilized fifty consumers previously selected by a questionnaire. The physical-chemical parameters evaluated were: humidity, ashes, base dried fat, proteins, ph, acidity and cloret. The cheese acceptability produced by LA-02 and Blend presented the highest results to the attributes flavor, 7.38 and 6.92, respectively. By the QDA were considered 13 describing terms to coalho cheese. The display of Blend was characterized by its yellow color, hardness, typical coalho cheese smell, typical coalho cheese flavor, consistency and chewing. The cheese produced by LA-02 was characterized by its acid flavor, homogeneity and softness. The three displays evaluated presented values of humidity and fat according to the legislation exigency. The LA-02 and Blend cultures were the ones which better developed the coalho cheese characteristics.
