Peruvian carrot is a root from South America. Despite its nice taste and health-promoting effects, commercialization of restricted due to short shelf life post-harvest losses. This study aimed obtain chips at different drying processes. The comparison with convective 70 °C (CD-70) showed that the microwave (MW) vacuum (MWV) technologies improved quality (at 100, 250, 400 W). It was found shortening in time caused by power level partially controlled textural collapse crispness, besides...
Objective Obesity has become one of the major public health issues and is associated with various comorbidities, including type 2 diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, hypertension. Lychee seeds are considered promising ingredients for developing functional foods owing to their nutraceutical properties phytochemical composition. This study aimed induce obesity in zebrafish (Danio rerio) through a hyperlipidic diet supplemented different concentrations lychee seed flour evaluate its effects on...
This study measured the total levels of phenolic, anthocyanin, carotenoid, and tocopherol compounds, vitamin C in ten fruits from Brazilian Cerrado: araçá-boi, bacaba, bacupari, biribá, cajuí, curriola, marmelada-espinho, mirindiba, murici, puçá-preto. Five extracts were prepared each fruit using solvents with different polarities. The Trolox equivalent antioxidant activity, oxygen radical absorbance capacity, inhibition β-carotene bleaching determined for extract. Scott-Knott test principal...
The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect total replacement water with acerola pulp on physical and chemical properties sweet bread without lactose over five days storage. Analyses mass loss, soluble solids, titratable acidity, pH, color, hardness, vitamin C, phenolics antioxidant activity were performed daily, for a period days, whereas proximate composition determined just at same day baking. not affected by pulp. values solids acidity higher in enriched bread, while pH exhibited...
The most common form of incorporating by-products from the fruit and vegetable processing into foods is flour, which can be used in various bakery products. This study aimed to optimize gluten-free (GF) muffin formulations, containing pineapple peel flour (PPF), banana (BPF), pumpkin seed (PSF) using a mixture design approach, evaluate physicochemical characteristics acceptability. addition PSF led an increase L* value, hue angle chroma muffin's crust crumb, whereas BPF decreased these...
