É sabido que produzir cervejas claras e sem resíduo adocicado, é um desafio para este ingrediente. No entanto, cervejas produzidas a partir de extrato de malte concentrado, necessitam de menores investimentos quando se comparado ao método tradicional pois, economiza em mão-de-obra, espaço e energia. Pensando nisso, o trabalho teve como objetivo, produzir diferentes mostos concentrados lupulados formulados conforme planejamento experimental aplicado (DCCR), caracterizar as cervejas produzidas com estes mostos. Estudar o uso de xarope de alta maltose com a finalidade de redução da cor e proteína no produto final e verificar durante a fervura, interações ocorridas entre malte/adjunto, lúpulo e tempo quanto à cor, amargor, polifenóis e proteínas. Verificou-se que mostos produzidos com extrato de malte concentrado possuem fermentações mais lentas. Os produtos obtidos tiveram características físico-químicas semelhantes à cerveja tipo Pilsen. Durante a fervura, o tempo foi mais influente para a produção de cervejas mais escuras. Apesar disso, o uso de xarope de alta maltose como substituição parcial dos açúcares fermentescíveis do malte, na redução da cor, foi totalmente eficaz, como também para o aumento na luminosidade e menores quantidades de proteínas. Por fim, para promover mais eficiente complexação entre proteínas-polifenóis, seriam necessárias quantidades maiores de lúpulo. Assim sendo, mostos concentrados feitos a partir de extrato de malte concentrado possuem grandes potencialidades e levam a crer que acrescentam mais vantagens do que desvantagens para a produção de cerveja / Abstract: The use of extract malt concentrated as beer raw material until today little was studied. It is known that to produce clear beers and without sweet residue, it is a challenge for this ingredient. However, beers produced from extract malt concentrated, need lesser investments when if compared with the traditional method, therefore it is saved in man power, space and energy. Thinking about this, the work had as objective, to produce differents worts hopped concentrated formulated as experimental design applied, to characterize the beers produced with these worts, to study the use of boiled must of high maltose with the purpose of reduction of the color and protein and to verify, during the boil, occurred interactions between malt/adjunct, hop and time how much to the color, bitter taste, polyphenol and proteins. It was verified that worts produced with extract of malt concentrated have slower fermentations, the gotten products had characteristics similar to the beer Pilsen type. During the boil, the time was more important for production of darker beers. Despite this, the use of high maltose syrup as partial substitution of the fermentable sugars of malt, in the reduction of the color was total efficient, as also for the increase of the luminosity and minors amounts of protein. Finally, to promote more efficient complex between proteins-polyphenols, they would be necessary more of hop. Thus being, made intent worts from extract of malt concentrated have great potentialities and lead to believe that they add more advantages of that disadvantages for beer production / Mestrado / Mestre em Tecnologia de Alimentos

Abstract Hypericum perforatum L. (St. John’s wort) is a medicinal plant widely utilized for the treatment of depression. The antidepressant activity is mainly attributed to the phenolic compounds hypericins and hyperforins, which also have a wide range of other pharmacologically interesting properties. The biosynthetic routes leading to hypericins and hyperforins are poorly understood, although a polyketide pathway including type III polyketide synthases (PKSs) has been suggested to be involved. Furthermore, a gene called hyp-1 is assumed to attend to the final stages of the hypericin biosynthesis. In the present work, the biosynthesis of hypericins and hyperforins in H. perforatum was further studied by focusing on the elucidation of the precursors and genes involved. The incorporation of isotopically labelled branched-chain amino acids into hyperforins was investigated as well as the possibilities to enhance the production of hyperforins in H. perforatum in vitro cultures by feeding them with amino acid precursors. Furthermore, two novel cDNAs encoding for type III PKSs were isolated from H. perforatum. The functions of these new genes, designated HpPKS1 and HpPKS2, as well as the role of hyp-1 were elucidated by comparing their expression with the levels of hypericins and hyperforins in H. perforatum tissues. The enzymatic activity of the recombinant HpPKS2 protein was also analyzed. To study Hyp-1 at a protein level, a protein extraction method was optimized for tissues of Hypericum species. The results show the incorporation of valine and isoleucine into the acyl side chain of hyperforin and adhyperforin, respectively. Through the biotransformation of the amino acid precursors, it is possible to enhance the levels of adhyperforin, but not hyperforin, in H. perforatum shoot cultures, which demonstrates the tight regulation of the hyperforin biosynthesis. A correlation between HpPKS1 expression and hyperforins was detected in H. perforatum tissues. The localization of HpPKS2 mRNA in dark glands in which hypericins accumulate as well as the octaketide synthase activity of the recombinant HpPKS2 suggest that HpPKS2 is associated with possible co-operating tailoring enzymes in the biosynthesis of hypericins. The presence of both hyp-1 mRNA and Hyp-1 protein in distinct places compared with hypericins in H. perforatum tissues does not support the idea that Hyp-1 would be involved in the biosynthesis of hypericins in dark glands, although mobility of the Hyp-1 protein was shown to be possible. The present thesis extends knowledge about the biosynthesis of hypericins and hyperforins in H. perforatum by providing new candidate genes for their biosynthesis and by identifying precursors for hyperforins. Moreover, new information was obtained about the role of hyp-1 in H. perforatum.

Características sensoriais diferenciadas e qualidade química podem garantir a competitividade de uma bebida destilada. O uísque é uma bebida alcoólica produzida a partir da destilação do mosto fermentado de cereais e que passa por um período de maturação em barris de carvalho. A cachaça, por sua vez, é produzida a partir da destilação do caldo de cana-de-açúcar fermentado. O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar a qualidade química e sensorial da bebida destilada oriunda das matérias-primas cana-de-açúcar e cevada e produzida mediante técnicas já existentes em processos produtivos de cachaça e uísque. O mosto combinado teve como fonte de açúcares o mosto de caldo de cana e o mosto de malte de cevada, que foram preparados separadamente e depois misturados nas seguintes proporções em porcentagem: 100 (A), 75 (B), 50 (C), 25 (D) e 0 (E) de caldo de cana, complementado com o mosto de malte de cevada. O processo fermentativo foi conduzido a 30ºC, mediante adição de leveduras Saccharomyces cerevisiae, cepas CA-11 e S-33, inoculando-se 1,5 g/L de cada levedura. As destilações foram realizadas em alambique de cobre, seguindo a metodologia de dupla-destilação utilizada para a produção de Scotch malt whisky. As bebidas duplamente destiladas foram acondicionadas em barris de carvalho por 60 dias. Os mostos foram submetidos às análises de pH, Brix, Pol, Açúcares Redutores (AR), Açúcares Redutores Totais (ART) e Acidez Total; e os vinhos foram analisados quanto a Teor Alcoólico, pH, Açúcares Redutores Residuais (ARR) e Acidez Total. Os flegmas, bidestilados e as bebidas envelhecidas foram submetidos a análises de teor alcoólico (densitometria), cobre (colorimetria), congêneres voláteis (CG-FID) e carbamato de etila (CG-EM). As bebidas envelhecidas também foram submetidas a análises de intensidade de cor e compostos fenólicos totais (espectrofotometria) e congêneres de maturação (CLAE). Testes sensoriais foram realizados para verificar a preferência entre as amostras pelos consumidores. Análises estatísticas foram realizadas pelo programa SAS (ANOVA e Testes de Tukey). Foi comprovada a eficiência da técnica de bidestilação na redução de alguns compostos limitados pela legislação. Mostos combinados com maior porcentagem de malte de cevada apresentaram menor formação de carbamato de etila. O envelhecimento aumentou a concentração de carbamato de etila nos destilados A, B e C sendo ao final o único contaminante presente acima dos limites permitidos pela legislação de aguardente de cana. Siringaldeído e ácido gálico foram os congêneres de maturação com as maiores concentrações nos destilados. O destilado do tratamento A apresentou a maior concentração total de compostos de envelhecimento. Na análise sensorial o destilado do tratamento C apresentou a maior preferência pelos provadores. Este estudo comprova que a produção de uma nova bebida a partir da combinação de matérias-primas diferentes pode apresentar resultados satisfatórios. Entretanto, ressalta-se a importância da continuidade desse estudo para afinar a definição da combinação de mostos mais adequada, para assim confirmar a viabilidade e eficiência do processo. / Differentiated sensory characteristics and chemical quality can ensure the competitiveness of a distilled beverage. Whisky is an alcoholic beverage produced from the distillation of fermented worts of cereals and aged in oak barrels. Cachaça, in turn, is produced from the distillation of fermented sugarcane juice. The objective of this study was to analyze the chemical and sensory quality of distilled spirit derived sugarcane and barley and produced by existing techniques in production processes of cachaça and whisky. The combined wort had as a source of sugars the sugarcane juice and barley malt wort, that were prepared separately and then mixed in the following proportions by percentage: 100 (A) 75 (B), 50 (C), 25 (D) and 0 (E) of sugarcane juice, supplemented with barley malt wort. The fermentation was conducted at 30° C by addition of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, CA-11 and S-33 strains, inoculating 1,5 g/L of each yeast. The distillations were performed in copper still, according to double-distillation method used for production of Scotch malt whisky. Double-distilled spirits were stored in oak barrels for 60 days. Worts were submitted to analysis of pH, Brix, Pol, Reducing Sugars (AR), Total Reducing Sugars (ART) and Total Acidity; and the wines were analyzed for Alcohol, pH, Residual Reducing Sugars (ARR) and Total Acidity. Low wines, double-distilled spirits and aged spirits were analyzed for alcohol content (densitometry), copper (colorimetry), volatile congeners (GC-FID) and ethyl carbamate (GC-MS). Aged spirits were also analyzed for color intensity and total phenolic compounds (spectrophotometry) and aged congeners (HPLC). Sensory tests were conducted to verify preference between samples by consumers. Statistical analyzes were performed using SAS (ANOVA and Tukey tests). The efficiency of double-distillation technique in reduce some compounds limited by legislation was confirmed. Worts combined with a higher percentage of barley malt showed lower formation of ethyl carbamate. Aging increased the concentration of ethyl carbamate in spirits A, B and C being at the end the only contaminant found above the limits allowed by the cachaça legislation. Syringaldehyde and gallic acid were the aged congeners with the highest concentrations in the spirits. Spirit A had the highest total concentration of aged congeners. Sensory analysis showed that spirit C was the most preferred by tasters. This study demonstrates that the production of a new beverage from the combination of different raw materials can provide satisfactory results. However, it emphasizes the importance of continuing this study to refine the definition of the most appropriate combination of worts, thus to confirm the feasibility and process efficiency.
