Com a expansao da atividade de corte de aves na industria, a quantidade de partes de menor valor comercial e de ossos com carne aumentou e a carne de frango mecanicamente separada (CMS) passou a ser uma materia-prima amplamente utilizada para a elaboracao de produtos carneos. Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o efeito da adicao de fibras de cereais (trigo e aveia) sobre a qualidade fisico-quimica e sensorial de emulsoes carneas contendo elevadas proporcoes de carne de frango mecanicamente separada. O produto carneo emulsionado escolhido como sistema modelo para o estudo foi o pao de carne. Em um primeiro estudo foram testadas cinco formulacoes FA (5% de amido de milho), FB (2,5% de proteina isolada de soja), FC (5% de fibra de trigo), FD (5% de fibra de aveia) e FE (2,5% de fibra de trigo; 2,5% de fibra de aveia, 1,58% de proteina isolada de soja e 1,88% de amido de milho). Os resultados mostraram que a estabilidade de emulsao das amostras formuladas com fibra de trigo ou fibra de aveia pode ser melhorada com as propriedades de entumescimento do amido de milho e da proteina isolada de soja. Em um segundo estudo foi utilizado o Delineamento Composto Central Rotacional (DCCR), adotando a metodologia de superficie de resposta para estudar os efeitos simultaneos de duas variaveis experimentais em tres niveis. Os resultados mostraram que a adicao de fibra de trigo e fibra de aveia ate 5% promoveu a estabilidade de emulsao e a capacidade de retencao de agua. Foram, entao, selecionadas duas formulacoes de pao de carne adicionadas de fibra de trigo e fibra de aveia e uma formulacao controle (sem fibra) para a avaliacao da estabilidade oxidativa e microbiologica durante o armazenamento refrigerado, nos tempos 0, 20 e 40 dias apos o processamento. As diferenças encontradas podem ter sido oriundas da variacao da materia-prima e processamento, nao especificamente da adicao de fibras / Abstract: In Brazil, the high demand for use of fibers in meat products is mainly due to its high water holding capacity and possibility to manufacture formulations with reduced cost, in addition to the claims for the production of healthier products in the current consumption without guilt. With the expansion of the activity in the industry of cutting poultry, the quantity of lower commercial value peaces and bone with meat has been increased and mechanically deboned chicken meat (MDCM) has become a raw material largely used in meat products. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effects of addition of cereal fibers (wheat and oat) on the quality physico-chemicals and sensory properties of emulsioned meat product with high level of mechanically deboned chicken meat. The emulsioned meat product chosen as a model system for the study was the meat loaf. For the first study five formulations were tested: FA (5% of corn starch), FB (2.5% of isolated soybean protein), FC (5% of wheat fiber), FD (5% of oat fiber) and FE (2.5% wheat fiber, 2.5% of oat fiber, 1.58% of isolated soybean protein and 1.88% of corn starch). The results are shown that the stability of the emulsion samples made with wheat fiber or oat fiber could be improved with the enhancement properties of corn starch and isolated soybeans protein. For the second study was used Response Surface Methodology to evaluate the simultaneous effects of two experimental variables at three levels. The results showed that the addition of wheat fiber and oat fiber above 5% increased the emulsion stability and the water holding capacity. Therefore, two formulations of meat loaf added with wheat fiber and oat fiber and a formulation control (no fiber) were selected for the evaluating of oxidative and microbiological stability during refrigerated storage at times 0, 20 and 40 days after processing. The differences found could be originated from the variation of the raw material and processing, not specifically the addition of fibers / Mestrado / Mestre em Tecnologia de Alimentos

Master of Science / Department of Civil Engineering / Hayder A. Rasheed / Throughout history natural fiber was used as one of the main building materials all over the world. Because the use of such materials has decreased in the last century, not much research has been conducted to investigate their performance as a reinforcing material in cement and concrete. In order to investigate one of the most common natural fibers, wheat fibers, as a reinforcing material, 156 mortar specimens and 99 concrete specimens were tested. The specimens were tested in either uniaxial compression or flexure. The uniaxial compression test included 2 in (50.8 mm) mortar cubes and 4x8 in (101.6 x 203.2 mm) concrete cylinders. As for the flexure test, they were either 40x40x160 mm cementitious matrix prisms or 6x6x21 in (152.4x152.4x533.4 mm) concrete prisms. Several wheat fibers percentages were studied and compared with polypropylene fiber as a benchmarking alternative. The average increase in the uniaxial compression strength for cementitious matrix cubes reinforced with 0.5% long wheat fiber exceeded that of their counterparts reinforced with polypropylene fiber by 15%. Whereas for concrete cylinders reinforced with 0.75% long wheat fiber, their strength exceeded that of their counterparts reinforced with polypropylene fiber by 5% and that of the control by 7%. The flexural strength of cementitious matrix prisms reinforced with 0.75% long wheat fiber exceeded that of their counterparts reinforced with polypropylene fiber by 27%. Meanwhile, concrete prisms reinforced with both long wheat fiber and polypropylene fiber showed deterioration in strength of up to 17%. Finally, ABAQUS models were developed for concrete cylinders and prisms to simulate the effect of inclusion of the wheat fibers.
