Composi??o de ?cidos graxos, teores de colesterol e ?xidos de colesterol em amostras comerciais de atuns em conservas / Fatty acid composition, cholesterol and cholesterol oxides contents in commercial samples of canned tuna

DANTAS, Natalie Marinho 04 May 2016 (has links)
CNPq / Brazil presents an important commercial fishing pole, which turns it to become relevant considering the benefits that consumption of fish plays in human nutrition. Canned fish promotes long shelf life of these food. However, foods that are rich sources of polyunsaturated fatty acids and cholesterol, such as tuna, have a great susceptibility for lipid oxidation when exposed to thermal processing. Cholesterol oxidation products (COP?s) are related to several diseases such as atherosclerosis, and can be absorbed from the diet. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the lipid composition and COP?s production in canned tuna purchased from metropolitan area of Rio de Janeiro. Three trademarks of ?grated in brine? and ?in oil? canned tuna were evaluated. To determinate lipid oxidation, the fatty acid composition from the methyl esters of the fish and their brine were identified using gas chromatography with flame ionisation detector; cholesterol and cholesterol oxides were determined simultaneously, using high-performance liquid chromatography and confirmed by liquid chromatograph mass spectrometer (chemical ionization interface for atmospheric pressure) (APCI-MS). Tuna in ?brine? samples presented moisture contents in a range of 24.60 to 27.23g/100g; lipids contents ranging from 4.21 to 5.59g/100g; polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) levels between 9.13 to 16,20g/100g, and high saturated fatty acids (SFA) contents (in a range of 54.66 to 59.85g/100g) (dry basis-DB). The nutritional quality index showed that lipid fractions presented undesirable values. These samples presented cholesterol concentration ranging from 190.95 to 399.28mg/100g, and high cholesterol oxidation products contents (between 321.42 and 414.94?g/100g- DB). Samples of ?in oil? canned tuna presented moisture and lipids contents of 31.93 to 51.33g/100g and 23.70 to 43.99g/100g, respectively; high polyunsaturated fatty acids concentration (46.06 to 49.92g/100g), especially the w6 series; and low levels of EPA and DHA amounts (in a range of 0.59 and 1.73g/100g). Cholesterol and COP?s contents varied from 135.90 to 191.92mg/100g and from 110.97 to 207.19?g/100g, respectively. Significate concentrations of cholesterol were identified in brine (18.99 to 37.10mg/100g) and ?in oil? samples (113.09 to 259.12mg/100g), and high COP?s contents were found (in a range of 230.54 and 477.12?g/100g from brine and 44.15 to 151.18?g/100g from ?in oil? samples). It was observed that there is a transference of lipids from fish to brine, as well as migration between fish lipids and vegetable oils in the ?oil? covers, changing the fatty acids profiles of both. It is considered that the production of canned fish contributes to loss of lipid quality, promotes fatty acids oxidation and induces the formation of cholesterol oxidation products. These results indicate that is necessary to conduct further studies to evaluate the occurrence of these undesirable compounds in fish products. / O Brasil possui um importante polo de pesca comercial, fato que se torna relevante considerando os benef?cios que o consumo de pescados desempenha na nutri??o humana. As conservas de peixes promovem nestes alimentos tempos de vida ?til prolongados. Entretanto, os alimentos ricos em ?cidos graxos poliinsaturados e colesterol, como os atuns, quando submetidos ao processamento t?rmico, apresentam grande potencial para a oxida??o lip?dica. Os produtos da oxida??o do colesterol (POC?s) est?o envolvidos no desenvolvimento de doen?as, como a aterosclerose, e podem ser absorvidos a partir da dieta. Desta forma, este trabalho teve como objetivos avaliar a composi??o lip?dica e a forma??o dos POC?s em conservas de atuns comercializadas na regi?o metropolitana do Rio de Janeiro. Foram avaliadas amostras de conservas ?raladas? em ?salmoura? e em ??leo? de 3 marcas comerciais. Para determina??o da oxida??o lip?dica, identificou-se a composi??o de ?cidos graxos dos atuns e respectivos l?quidos de coberturas a partir dos ?steres met?licos, atrav?s de Cromatografia Gasosa com detector de ioniza??o por chama; al?m da quantifica??o simult?nea do colesterol e dos POC?s, atrav?s de cromatografia l?quida de alta efici?ncia e confirmados por cromat?grafo l?quido com espetr?metro de massas (interface de ioniza??o qu?mica por press?o atmosf?rica) (APCI-MS). Os atuns em ?salmoura? apresentaram m?dias entre 24,60 a 27,23g/100g de umidade; entre 4,21 a 5,59g/100g de lip?deos; teores de 9,13 a 16,20g/100g de ?cidos graxos poliinsaturados (AGPI), e elevadas concentra??es de ?cidos graxos saturados (AGS) (entre 54,66 a 59,85g/100g), em base seca (BS). Foram evidenciados nos ?ndices de qualidade nutricional das fra??es lip?dicas com valores pouco desej?veis sob o ponto de vista nutricional. As concentra??es de colesterol nessas amostras variaram entre 190,95 a 399,28mg/100g, e foram identificados elevados teores de produtos de oxida??o do colesterol (entre 321,42 e 414,94?g/g/100g), em BS. As amostras de atuns em conservas contendo ??leo? apresentaram teores entre 31,93 e 51,33g/100g de umidade; entre 23,70 e 43,99g/100g de lip?deos, elevadas concentra??es de ?cidos graxos poliinsaturados (de 46,06 a 49,92g/100g), em especial os da s?rie w6 e reduzidos teores na soma de EPA e DHA (entre 0,59 e 1,73g/100g). As concentra??es de colesterol variaram entre 135,90 e 191,92mg/100g e os POC?s de 110,97 a 207,19?g/100g. Em rela??o aos l?quidos de coberturas, foram identificadas concentra??es significativas de colesterol (de 18,99 a 37,10mg/100g nas salmouras e de 113,09 a 259,12mg/100g nos ?leos, respectivamente), al?m de elevados teores de produtos de oxida??o do colesterol (entre 230,54 e 477,12?g/100g nas salmouras e entre 44,15 e 151,18?g/100g nos ?leos). Observou-se a transfer?ncia de lip?deos dos pescados para os l?quidos em ?salmoura?, al?m da migra??o de lip?deos entre os pescados e os ?leos vegetais nas conservas em ??leo?, alterando os perfis de ?cidos graxos de ambos os meios. Considera-se que a produ??o de conservas de peixes favorece a perda da sua qualidade lip?dica, promovem oxida??o de ?cidos graxos e induzem a forma??o de produtos de oxida??o do colesterol, fato que indica a necessidade da condu??o de novos estudos que avaliem a ocorr?ncia desses compostos indesej?veis oriundos da oxida??o lip?dica em produtos de pescados.

Three essays on empirical studies of consumer behavior

Liu, An-Shih, 1977- 28 August 2008 (has links)
This dissertation is an empirical study of demand and supply in differentiated products markets using supermarket scanner data on two particular product categories - canned tuna and hot-breakfast cereals. First, I study the impact of retailers' price promotions on consumer demand and retailer profits in the canned-tuna product category. Since canned tuna is storable, I examine whether consumers stock up during sales. The results suggest that only a limited amount of stockpiling exists in this product category. Since inventory is not very important, consumer demand is thus modeled by a static demand model with a random-coefficients-nested-logit specification, which is estimated by the Markov Chain Monte Carlo method. The unit-sales decomposition results show that on average 36% of the demand response to price promotions comes from brand-switching, so market expansion effects due to consumers switching from the outside good and to higher quantities usually dominate the brand-switching effect. Using the demand estimates, I compute optimal retail prices assuming that stores are local monopolists and choose prices to maximize static category-level profits. I find that regular prices at "high-low" stores are typically at or slightly below the optimal prices, but that regular prices at "every-day-low-price" stores are substantially below the optimal prices. These results suggest that retail price levels and price promotions are more likely related to local market conditions such as retail competition. In addition, I study the effects of store-brand (SB) entry on the demand elasticities of incumbent national brands (NB), consumers' substitution patterns for national and store brands, and the implications for consumer welfare in the hot-breakfast-cereals product category. A random-coefficients model of consumer demand is estimated by the generalized-method-of-moments approach. The empirical findings are: (1) After the entry of SB's, demand becomes more elastic for non-imitated NB's, and either more elastic or shows no change for imitated NB's; (2) in general, substitution patterns for NB's and SB's are asymmetric, i.e., when the prices of their favorite products increase, most NB buyers tend to substitute to other NB products, but SB buyers will substitute to the corresponding imitated NB's; (3) the increase in consumer surplus due to SB entry is trivial for an individual consumer, but the aggregate benefit could be quite substantial.

Analyses and Declarations of Omega-3 Fatty Acids in Canned Seafood May Help to Quantify Their Dietary Intake

Singer, Peter, Richter, Volker, Singer, Konrad, Löhlein, Iris 05 May 2023 (has links)
The American Heart Association (AHA) recently confirmed common recommendations of one to two fish dishes per week in order to prevent cardiovascular disease (CVD). Nevertheless, the natural fluctuations of lipids and fatty acids (FA) in processed seafood caught little public attention. Moreover, consumers of unprocessed seafood in general do not know how much omega-3 fatty acids (omega-3 FA) within servings they actually ingest. The few studies published until today considering this aspect have been re-evaluated in today’s context. They included four observational studies with canned fatty coldwater fish (mackerel and herring from the same region, season, producer and research group). Their outcomes were similar to those conducted in the following years using supplements. Cans containing seafood (especially fatty coldwater fish) with declared content of omega-3 FA are ready-to-use products. Human studies have shown a higher bioavailability of omega-3 FA by joint uptake of fat. Canned fatty coldwater fish contain omega-3 FA plus plenty of fat in one and the same foodstuff. That suggests a new dietary paradigm with mixed concepts including several sources with declared content of omega-3 FA for reducing the cardiovascular risk and other acknowledged indications.

Développement d'une méthode méthodologie de PCR en temps réel pour l'identification et la quantification de trois espèces de thon (Thunnus obesus, Thunnus albacares et Katsuwonus pelamis) dans les produits appertisés / Development of a methodology of PCR in real time for identification and quantification of 3 species of tuna (Thunnus obesus, Thunnus albacares and Katsuwonus pelamis) in canned products

Bojolly, Daline 29 March 2017 (has links)
Le thon obèse (Thunnus obesus), le thon alabore (Thunnus albacares) et le listao (Katsuwonus pelamis) comptent parmi les espèces de thons les plus utilisées en conserve. Lors de la fabrication de conserves de thon, la substitution d'espèce et/ou le mélange de différentes espèces de thon sont interdits par la réglementation européenne. L'authentification des espèces de thon reste complexe à cause du degré de similitude élevé entre les espèces de thon, ou encore, lorsque les caractéristiques morphologiques externes sont éliminées au cours du filetage et lors de la mise en conserve. Par conséquent, des substitutions involontaires ou frauduleuses peuvent se produire. Dans cette étude, le marqueur mitochondrial du gène de la sous-unité 2 de la NADH déshydrogénase a été utilisé pour identifier le thon obèse et le gène de la sous-unité II de la cytochrome c oxydase a été utilisé pour identifier le thon albacore et le listao en utilisant la PCR en temps réel basée sur la technologie TaqMan. Deux méthodes différentes basées sur la qPCR ont été développées pour quantifier le pourcentage de chair de chaque espèce présente au sein d'une boîte de thon. La première a été basée sur la quantification absolue avec standard externe réalisée avec les deux marqueurs. La seconde a été basée sur la quantification relative avec standard externe avec le gène endogène de l'ARN 12S. Sur la base de ces résultats, nous pouvons conclure que notre méthode peut s'appliquer pour quantifier les deux espèces de thon albacore et obèse génétiquement très proches lorsqu'elles sont utilisées dans un mélange binaire en conserve. / Bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus), yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) and skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelanis) are among the most widely used tuna species for canning purposes. Not only substitution but also mixing of tuna species is prohibited by the European regulation for canned tuna products. However, it can be difficult to authenticate the tuna species, due to their high degree of similarity or even when the external morphological characteristics are removed due to filleting before canning. Consequently, involuntary or fraudulent substitutions may occur during the canning process. In this study, the mitochondrial marker from NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2 gene was used to identify bigeye tuna and the mitochondrial marker cytochrome c oxidase subunit II gene was used to identify yellowfin tuna and skipjack tuna, utilizing TaqMan qPCR methodology. Two different qPCR-based methods were developed to quantify the percentage of flesh of each species used for can processing. The first one was based on absolute quantification using standard curves realized with these two markers ; the second one was founded on relative quantification with the universal 12S rRNA gene as the endogenous gene. On the basis of our results, we conclude that our methodology could be applied to authenticate the two closely related tuna species (bigeye tuna and yellowfin tuna) when used in a binary mix in tuna cans.

Due to the necessity of scientific materials about beans industrial processing in the national literature, then the objective in the first stage of this work (Paper 1) was prepare a review about this topic. Were presented some concepts and details of the industrial processing, unit operations and quality parameters evaluated in canned beans. In sequence (Paper 2) were presented the results of the study that evaluated the adaptability of eight bean cultivars for industrial processing. Cultivars evaluated were by commercial Carioca class: BRS Perola, BRS Estilo, BRS Ametista e BRS Notável and also the Black class: IPR Uirapuru, BRS Campeiro, BRS Esteio and BRS Esplendor. First the physical parameters of the grains were evaluated: water content, measurement of the size, roundness, weight of 100 seeds, density, bulk density, apparent moisture ratio and color components. Then the beans were processed at an industry of canning, using cans with a capacity of 420 g, in which the samples were put without the use of soaking. For sauce was used water at a temperature of 75°C and the cooking process and sterilization was performed in a rotary retort. The quality parameters were evaluated in canned beans: total, net and drained weight, headspace, damage index, color, soluble solids and total solids in the sauce, texture, acidity and pH. Data were submitted to multivariate analysis: Principal Components and Hierarchical Clustering. As a result it was found that the Carioca class BRS Estilo differs from others due to low drained weight that contributed to the increase of total solids in the broth, with low hardness values, not adapting to the type of process used in this experiment. In Black class were observed similar quality characteristics between cultivars BRS Esplendor and IPR Uirapuru, and between BRS Campeiro and BRS Esteio, especially this last one by having smaller index of damaged grains after processing. Lastly, in the last work (Paper 3) was presented information about a different option of product by beans, the quick cooking dehydrated, pointing details of the processing and the performance of Brazilian bean varieties, as well as the technological quality of the final product. In the processing of quick-cooking dried beans was used a Central Composite Design (CCD) with two factors. The first factor was cultivar, evaluating BRS Pérola, BRS Madrepérola, BRS Estilo and IAPAR 81. The second factor was concentration of NaHCO3 used in soaking operation followed by drying of the beans. Were evaluated the parameters: cooking time, damage index and color difference in the processed product. It was found that the effects on these quality parameters are dependent upon the cultivar factor, because BRS Estilo and BRS Madrepérola stood out due to reduced cooking time and color difference when compared to BRS Pérola and IAPAR 81. For BRS Estilo cultivar the increased of NaHCO3 concentration in the soaking reduced significantly the cooking time, with lower rates of damage when compared to BRS Madrepérola. Finally, the information in this work intends to contribute with future research on this topic and therefore increase the bean consumption, whether in the form of an innovative product like the quick cooking dehydrated or as canned beans. / Atualmente uma alternativa alimentar que atende às demandas do consumidor moderno é o processamento industrial do feijão. Devido à necessidade de materiais científicos sobre processamento industrial do feijão na literatura nacional, objetivou-se na primeira etapa deste trabalho (Artigo 1) elaborar uma revisão de literatura sobre o tema. São apresentados alguns conceitos e detalhes do processamento industrial, das operações unitárias e dos parâmetros de qualidade avaliados no feijão enlatado. Na sequência (Artigo 2), apresentam-se os resultados do trabalho que avaliou a adaptabilidade de oito cultivares de feijão ao processamento industrial. Foram avaliados cultivares da classe comercial Carioca: BRS Pérola, BRS Estilo, BRS Ametista e BRS Notável; da classe Preto: IPR Uirapuru, BRS Campeiro, BRS Esteio e BRS Esplendor. Primeiramente, foram verificados os parâmetros físicos nos grãos: teor de água, aferição das dimensões, esfericidade, massa de 100 grãos, densidade, massa específica aparente, coeficiente de hidratação e componentes de cor. Em seguida, os grãos foram processados em uma indústria do setor, utilizando-se embalagens metálicas com capacidade de 420 g, nas quais as amostras foram acondicionadas sem o emprego de hidratação prévia. Como calda, utilizou-se água na temperatura de 75 °C e o processo de cozimento e esterilização foi realizado em autoclave rotativa. No feijão enlatado, avaliaram-se os parâmetros de qualidade: peso bruto, líquido e drenado, altura de headspace, índice de danos, cor, sólidos solúveis e sólidos totais no caldo, textura, acidez e pH. Os dados foram submetidos à análise multivariada: componentes principais e de agrupamento. Como resultado, verificou-se que, na classe Carioca, o cultivar BRS Estilo diferencia-se dos demais, devido ao baixo peso drenado que contribuiu para o aumento de sólidos totais no caldo, com baixos valores de dureza, não se adaptando ao tipo de processo utilizado neste experimento. Na classe Preto, observaram-se características de qualidade semelhantes entre BRS Esplendor e IPR Uirapuru, e entre BRS Esteio e BRS Campeiro, destacando-se esta última por apresentar menores índices de grãos danificados após o processamento. Por fim, no último trabalho (Artigo 3), apresentam-se informações sobre uma opção diferenciada de produto derivado do feijão, o desidratado de cozimento rápido, apontando-se detalhes sobre o processamento e a performance de diferentes cultivares brasileiros, assim como a qualidade tecnológica. No processamento do feijão desidratado de cozimento rápido foi empregado um delineamento composto central (DCC) com dois fatores. O primeiro fator foi cultivar, avaliando-se BRS Pérola, BRS Madrepérola, BRS Estilo e IAPAR 81; o segundo fator foi a concentração de NaHCO3 (bicarbonato de sódio) empregado na hidratação, seguida da secagem dos grãos. Foram avaliados os parâmetros tempo de cozimento, índice de dano e diferença de cor no produto processado. Verificou-se que os efeitos nos parâmetros de qualidade são dependentes do fator cultivar, visto que BRS Estilo e BRS Madrepérola destacaram-se devido ao menor tempo de cozimento e diferença de cor, quando comparados ao BRS Pérola e IAPAR 81. Para BRS Estilo, o aumento na concentração de NaHCO3 reduz significativamente o tempo de cozimento, com menor índice de dano quando comparado ao cultivar BRS Madrepérola. Por fim, com as informações presentes neste trabalho pretende-se contribuir com pesquisas futuras sobre o tema e dessa forma incrementar o consumo do feijão, seja na forma de um produto inovador como o desidratado de cozimento rápido ou na forma de enlatado.
