Inúmeros sucos de frutas típicas do Brasil ainda não foram testados neste tipo de processo, visando a sua clarificação. Suco de tamarindo (Tamarindus indica L.) reconstituído na proporção de 1 de polpa para 3 de água foi microfiltrado a 35ºC, em membrana tubular de polipropileno de diâmetro médio de poro de 0,2 µm, variando-se as condições de pressão transmembrana, velocidade de escoamento e utilizando ou não um pré-tratamento enzimático da polpa. Foram observados fluxos finais de permeado de 70 a 115 kg/m2h. O aumento da pressão transmembrana aumentou o fouling, mas resultou em altos valores de fluxo de permeação, tanto iniciais quanto finais. Alta pressão associada ao uso de enzima pectinolítica na concentração de 100 ppm apresentou o melhor resultado de fluxo final, a um fator de concentração igual a dois e, conseqüentemente, no menor tempo de processamento. O aumento da velocidade de escoamento e uso de baixas pressões melhorou o fluxo de modo geral, e o uso concomitante de enzima, melhorou ainda mais o fluxo. Ao usar alta velocidade e alta pressão, o fluxo foi elevado no processamento em que não foi feito o tratamento enzimático. Entretanto, no processamento em que foi realizado o tratamento enzimático, o fluxo diminui em 26%, possivelmente devido ao aumento do fouling na membrana. O permeado obtido apresentou uma coloração amarelo ouro, límpido e sem presença de sólidos insolúveis. Houve também retenção de sólidos solúveis (açúcares e pectinas, entre outros) e, conseqüentemente, dos sólidos totais (diminuição da umidade no retentado). Os resultados de fluxo de permeado em diversas condições de operação permitiram uma análise da influência da camada gel e do fouling de acordo com a teoria de resistências em série. Os dados obtidos para a construção da curva de permação foram ajustados a um modelo matemático, baseado na teoria de renovação de superfície, e calcularam-se os valores da constante de declínio de fluxo. Estes foram maiores nos experimentos em que se fez uso de altas pressões e tratamento enzimático / Abstract: Clarification of a lot of fruit juices using microfiltration process has been showing viable economic results. Countless juices of typical fruits of Brazil aren't studied yet in membrane separation process. Tamarind juice (Tamarindus indica L.) reconstituted at 35ºC was microfiltred using a polypropylene tubular membrane of 0,2 µm average diameter poro. The operating conditions of transmembrane pressure, crossflow velocity and enzymatic treatment were evaluated. Final fluxes values of 70 until 115 kg/m2h was observed. The increase in transmembrane pressure resulted in high fouling, but increased the values of inicial and final permeates fluxes. Associated of enzyme pectinolitic at 100 ppm, this experiment presents the best result of final flux and, consequently, the smaller time processing. The increase in crossflow velocity and use of low transmembrane pressure improved the fluxes in general, and using enzymes at the same time, improved the fluxes even more. High crossflow velocities and high transmembrane pressures results in high fluxes just in the experiment without enzymatic treatment. In the experiment where enzymatic treatment was done, the flux reduce 26%, possible due to increase of the fouling on membrane. The permeate presents a gold yellow colour, cloudless and without insoluble solids. There was soluble solids (sugar, pectin etc.) retention and, consequently, total solids retention (reducing of humidity in retentate). The influence of polarized layer and the fouling in several operating conditions results of fluxes allow an analysis by resistance in series theory. The experimental data picked to permeate curve was ajusted to mathematical model based on surface renewal theory and the flux decay constant were calculated. There were higher on experiments with high pressure and enzymatic treatment / Mestrado / Mestre em Engenharia de Alimentos

Among the fruit trees in the Cerrado, the tamarind tree stands out. Its fruit has excellent nutritional properties, but researches involving all the fruit's uses are still insignificant. The objective of this work was to characterize and evaluate tamarind pulp, shell and seeds (Tamarindus indica L.), to develop salted dragees using the flours of the by-products shell and seeds, besides evaluating the nutritional and sensorial quality of the dragees produced. The fruits were collected in Rio Verde and Ceres, Goiás, Brazil, and divided into pulp, shell and seeds. Physical, chemical, nutritional, calorimetry and antioxidant and antinutritional analyzes were performed. The results of this study indicated that the collected fruits obtained a higher proportion of pulp in relation to the residual parts, presented high carbohydrate content and low water activity for the three portions (pulp, peels and seeds) and lower values of ash, lipids and proteins. The shell and seed flours presented high content of total dietary fiber and pulp of the fruit had acid pH and high titratable acidity. The seed flour had a water absorption and solubility index greater than the shell flour, and a lower oil absorption index. The tamarind pulp presented 4 peaks in its thermogram (from 35 to 155 °C), and the tamarind shell and seed flours presented pulp-like behavior after 115 °C with 2 endothermic peaks. All the analyzed fruit portions had high antioxidant capacity, not significantly different from each other. The methanolic extract was more efficient in the extraction of the phenolic compounds of the three portions of tamarind, being the highest content found in the seeds. The tamarind shell showed low toxicity to Artemia salina and the seeds and pulp presented no toxicity. For the antinutritional factors, the tamarind pulp showed the highest nitrate content and absence of trypsin inhibitor. The tamarind seeds presented the highest amount of tannins. For the elaboration of the salted dragee with application of flours of by-products of tamarind was used the design of mixture with six formulations of dragees, where the closest to the commercial in relation to hardness was selected for the sensory and proximal analyzes. The dragee selected had lower instrumental hardness than commercial dragee and low water activity, high lipid, protein and energy value. The addition of flours of tamarind by-products influenced the fiber content, which was higher than in the commercial dragee. The dragee selected was well accepted, with the exception of the appearance attribute and, according to the tasters, would probably buy the new product. / O Brasil é um país com diferentes biomas e grande diversidade de espécies vegetais pouco exploradas, e o bioma Cerrado é conhecido pela riqueza de fauna e flora. Dentre as frutíferas existentes no Cerrado, destaca-se o tamarindeiro. Seu fruto apresenta excelentes propriedades nutricionais, porém pesquisas envolvendo todas as utilidades do fruto ainda são pouco significativas. O objetivo do trabalho foi caracterizar e avaliar polpa, casca e sementes de tamarindo (Tamarindus indica L.), desenvolver drageados salgados utilizando as farinhas dos subprodutos cascas e sementes, além de avaliar a qualidade nutricional e sensorial dos drageados produzidos. Os frutos foram coletados em Rio Verde e Ceres, Goiás, Brasil, e divididos em polpa, cascas e sementes. Realizou-se caracterização física, química, nutricional, calorimetria, antioxidantes e antinutricionais. Os resultados desse estudo indicaram que os frutos coletados obtiveram maior proporção de polpa em relação as partes residuais, apresentaram alto teor de carboidrato e baixa atividade de água para as três porções (polpa, cascas e sementes) e menores valores de cinzas, lipídeos e proteínas. As farinhas de casca e semente apresentaram alto teor de fibra alimentar total e polpa do fruto apresentou pH ácido e alta acidez titulável. A farinha das sementes apresentou índice de absorção e solubilidade em água maiores que a farinha das cascas, e menor índice de absorção de óleo. A polpa de tamarindo apresentou 4 picos em seu termograma (de 35 a 155°C), e as farinhas de casca e semente de tamarindo apresentaram comportamento semelhante a polpa após 115 °C, com 2 picos endotérmicos. Todas as porções do fruto analisadas apresentaram capacidade antioxidante, não diferindo significativamente entre si. O extrato metanólico foi mais eficiente na extração dos compostos fenólicos das três porções do tamarindo, sendo o maior teor encontrado nas sementes. A casca apresentou baixa toxicidade frente a Artemia salina e as sementes e polpa não apresentaram toxicidade. Para os fatores antinutricionais, a polpa de tamarindo apresentou o maior teor de nitratos e ausência de inibidor de tripsina. As sementes de tamarindo apresentaram a maior quantidade de taninos. Para a elaboração dos drageado salgado com aplicação de farinhas de coprodutos de tamarindo foi utilizado delineamento de mistura com seis formulações de drageados, onde o mais próximo do comercial em relação à dureza foi selecionado para as análises sensorial e proximal. O drageado selecionado apresentou dureza instrumental inferior à do drageado comercial e baixa atividade de água, alto valor de lipídeos, proteínas e valor energético. A adição das farinhas de coprodutos de tamarindo influenciou o conteúdo de fibras, sendo este mais elevado que no drageado comercial. O drageado selecionado obteve boa aceitação, com exceção do atributo aparência e, de acordo com os provadores, provavelmente comprariam o novo produto.

This dissertation examines selected literary works by Anita Rau Badami, Denise Chong, Hiromi Goto, Larissa Lai, and Kerri Sakamoto, exploring how their stories respond both to the absence of representations of Asian Canadian women in literary discourses of the early twentieth century and to homogenizing assumptions in official histories. My formulation of (re)presentation in the title recognizes the multiplicity and constructedness of these denoted identities and experiences and the self-representations of these writers as a response to this elision and misrepresentation. The term repair borrows from philosopher Hilde Lindemann Nelson’s theorizing of “narrative repair,” which involves telling counterstories, but also is used in psychological contexts as a healing mechanism. An elaboration of both models, as applied in this study, is optimally useful in diasporic contexts as resistance to the elision and/or racist and gendered discursive constructions of Asian Canadian women and as restoration of damaged identities. The texts under study—Tamarind Mem, The Concubine’s Children, Chorus of Mushrooms, When Fox Is a Thousand, and The Electrical Field—were all published in the mid-1990s, after the initial forays into the writing of novels by Asian Canadian authors such as Joy Kogawa (1981) and SKY Lee (1990). My choice of these sister narratives recognizes the family as central to identity construction and intergenerational (mis)understanding and emphasizes the importance of this period’s second-generation explosion of writings by Japanese, Chinese, and Indo Canadian women that paved the way for the current plethora of writings by authors from these cultural groups that contribute significantly to Canadian representations of diasporic identity. This study explores the nuances and pluralisms of the representations of Asian Canadian women. The texts under consideration are cultural autobiographies and matrilineal or sexually transgressive narratives that reinvent the cultural memory of Canadian women of Asian ancestry; produce cultural fusions through the transcreation of oral traditions and simulations of the oral, transcoding of ancestral tongues, and discursive strategies of silence; and address connections between self and place in examinations of Canada, the adopted country, as (un)homely territory. Presenting unhyphenated diasporic female subjects who exceed socially scripted boundaries of gender, sexuality, race, and nationality, in terms of both Canada and the writers’ and protagonists’ ancestral Asian nations, these “acts of narrative insubordination” (Nelson 8) exemplify emancipatory politics and recuperative and revisionary projects. Interrogating questions of (re)presentation and repair from positions of liminality and across gendered, racial, linguistic, and geographical divides, this research contributes to current urgent discussions of identity, transculturation, multiculturalism, and globalization in literary and cultural studies.

Le taro (Colocasia esculenta L SCHOTT) est un tubercule d’une grande importance alimentaire au Tchad pour la consommation humaine et animale. La littérature sur les pratiques culturales et les technologies traditionnelles post-récolte des variétés tchadiennes demeure presque inexistante. Une enquête a donc été menée dans la région du Mayo-Kebbi (Tchad) où le taro est très cultivé. Il résulte qu’il existe principalement deux variétés de taro au Tchad : la variété « Gouning souol» ou variété locale qui est caractérisée par une âcreté importante et un temps de cuisson prolongé (6 à 8 h). Ces propriétés ont entraîné l’abandon de la culture de cette variété au profit de la variété « Gouning sosso » qui présente une âcreté moindre et un temps de cuisson plus court (45 à 60 minutes). Une technique traditionnelle pour réduire l’âcreté et diminuer le temps de cuisson consiste à tremper les tranches de taro frais soit dans l’eau, soit dans une solution de trempage de maïs ou soit dans une infusion de tamarin pendant 24 à 48 h selon l'intensité de l'âcreté. Après séchage au soleil, les cossettes sèches sont transformées en farine. Ces produits de transformation servent à la préparation de boules de pâtes, de bouillie, de soupes ou de beignets. Des analyses ont été effectuées sur une gamme d’échantillon de farine de taro produite conformément à la recette artisanale dans l’optique de comprendre l’effet de cette technologie traditionnelle. Des cossettes fraîches de taro ont été trempées pendant 0, 1 h, 3 h, 6 h, 12 h et 24 h dans de l’eau, ou dans une solution de trempage de maïs ou dans une infusion de tamarin. Chaque échantillon a ensuite été séché au soleil pendant 48 h puis broyé en farine. La matière sèche, les protéines brutes, les cendres, les fibres brutes, les macroéléments minéraux et oligoéléments ont été évalués dans le but de déterminer les effets du trempage traditionnel sur le profil nutritionnel du taro. La digestibilité in vitro de l’amidon sous l’action de l’α-amylase et la teneur en oxalates de différentes farines de taro ont été également déterminées. Il ressort de ces analyses que seul le trempage dans une infusion de tamarin a induit une baisse significative (P < 0,001) de la teneur en protéines brutes (de 3,26 % pour T0 à 2,68 % pour le traitement au tamarin à T24). L’infusion de tamarin n’a pas modifié la teneur en fibres brutes alors que les autres traitements l’ont assez significativement diminuée (P < 0,001). Toutes les méthodes de trempage ont entraîné une diminution significative des teneurs en minéraux, à l’exception d’une augmentation des teneurs en sodium (due à la qualité de l’eau des préparations) et en phosphore (probablement due à l’hydrolyse des phytates du maïs). Une perte significative en fer a été constatée passant de 144 mg/kg de MS (témoin) à 78 mg/kg de MS (échantillon traité à l’eau pendant 12 h), soit une perte de 45,83 %. La plus faible diminution de taux de fer est observée dans le cas de l'échantillon trempé dans l'infusion de tamarin avec une perte maximale de 31,25 % après 24 h. La teneur en zinc ne varie pas. Les procédés de trempage entraînent globalement une amélioration de la digestibilité du taro après une simple cuisson (95°C pendant 30 minutes) qui passe de 39,30 % (échantillon témoin non trempé) à 78,67 % pour le taro trempé dans l’eau. Après 3 h de trempage, la farine de taro traitée par la solution de maïs est significativement plus digestible (77,12 %) que les échantillons résultant de deux autres traitements [tamarin (60,86 %), eau (60,45 %)] qui sont statistiquement similaires. (...) / Colocasia esculenta L SCHOTT is a valuable tuber widely consumed in Chad by humans and livestock. There is very little available literature about the cultivation and the post-harvest traditional technologies of the Chadian varieties of taro. A survey was carried out in the Mayo-Kebbi region ( Chad) where taro is a widely cultivated. There are two main varieties of taro in Chad : the " Gouning souol " variety, a local variety characterized by an important level of acridity and the prolonged cooking time (6 to 8 hours). The presence of these properties led to the replacement of the cultivation of this variety by the " Gouning sosso " variety which presents a lower level of acridity and a shorter cooking time (45 to 60 minutes). A traditional process to reduce the acridity and decrease the cooking time consists in dipping the slices of fresh taro in the water, or in a corn solution or in a tamarind infusion for a period of 24 to 48 hours according to the intensity of the acridity. After drying in the sun, the dried chips are ground into flour. This flour is then used to prepare mixtures of porridge, soups and cakes. Analyses were carried out on samples of taro flour produced in accordance with the traditional methods of soaking to determine the effects of this traditional process. Fresh taro chips were dipped over a period of 0, 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 hours in the water, or in the corn infusion or in the tamarind infusion. Each sample was then dried in the sun for 48 hours and ground into flour. Dry matter, crude protein, ash, crude fiber, minerals and various trace elements were assessed. The in vitro digestibility of taro starch using α-amylase enzyme and the amount of total oxalates in the different taro flour were also determined. The soaking in the tamarind infusion induced a significant (P < 0.001) decrease in protein content (from 3.26 % for the control sample to 2.68 % for the treatment with the tamarind infusion at T24). The other treatments (corn solution and water) reduced also the protein level of taro but not significantly. The crude fibre content was not affected by the tamarind infusion but decreased significantly in the other treatments at the threshold level of 5 %. All methods of soaking led to a significant decrease of the mineral contents, except for an increase in sodium (due to the quality of the water used to prepare solutions) and in phosphorus (probably due to the hydrolysis of phytates by the corn infusion). A significant loss in trace element (Iron) was observed, decreasing from 144 mg / kg of DM (control sample) to 78 mg / kg of DM (after 12 hours of water soaking) corresponding to a loss of 45.83 %. The lowest decrease in iron level was observed after the treatment by the tamarind infusion (31.25 % after 24 hours). All the soaking processes were seen to have improved the digestibility of taro flour. By simply cooking (at a temperature of 95°C for 30 minutes), the in vitro digestibility increased from 39.30 % for the control sample to 78.67 % for the water treated samples of taro. After three hours of soaking, the taro flour treated by the solution of corn becomes significantly more digestible (77.12 %) than by the two other treatments [tamarind (60.86 %), water (60.45 %)] that are statistically similar.
