One of the limiting factors of food probiotic microorganism’s addition consists in its viability. Several microencapsulation techniques were explored, the external ionic gelation proved to be viable in the preservation of probiotic cultures. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the ionic gelation process of passion fruit pulp with probiotics, in order to verify the storage time of these products when submerged in their own pulp and packaged in glass containers submitted to storage refrigerated. The product submitted shelf life of 60 days and the microorganism showed feasibility during the entire period of storage studied. It is then emphasized the viability of the ionic gelification of the passion fruit pulp, as the microcapsules obtained in this process present nutritional characteristics similar to the passion fruit pulp.

Moisture equilibrium data of passion fruit pulp powders with maltodextrin and gum arabic were obtained by two different drying methods (spray drying and freeze drying) and determined at 20, 30, 40 and 50º C. Skimmed milk was used to substitute part of these additives in the samples. One formulation using passion fruit pulp/maltodextrin/skimmed milk (PMS) was prepared, and another using passion fruit pulp/gum arabic/skimmed milk (PGS). The behavior of curves was type III, according to Brunauer's classification. GAB models were fitted to experimental equilibrium data. The parameters obtained from GAB models was affected by the presence of additives. The behavior of the sorption isotherms for different temperatures are similar, noting only a small effect of temperature. There were little differences between both drying methods and additives used in relation to equilibrium moisture content. The parameters obtained with the addition of the skimmed milk were considered satisfactory (Xm values ranged from 0,04084 to 0,06488 in dry basis), demonstrating that it is an effective and cheap alternative for regular additives. A progressive increase in the heat of sorption in relation to decreasing moisture content was observed and the heat of sorption values of different samples are all similar, comparing the relative equilibrium moisture content.

The use of appropriate anti-microbial compounds can extend the shelf life of a product as well as ensure the safety of the product. That requires a material that is naturally anti-microbial so as not harmful to health. The use of chitosan to inhibit microbial activity on mackerel (Rastrelliger sp) and catfish (Clarias batrachus) to test it's effectiveness. In this research chitosan that used as an anti-microbial extracted from the shells of crabs (Portunus sanginolentus L.). Chitin and chitosan that were successfully extracted were characterized it's results includes moisture content testing, ash content, and degrees of deacetylation. Characterized chitosan, were used as an anti-microbial mackerel (Rastrelliger sp) and catfish (Clarias batrachus). Chitosan was dissolved in 1% acetic acid with varying concentrations of chitosan as 1%, 1.5%, 2%, and 2.5%. The storage time of fish: 0 hours, 10 hours, 15 hours, 20 hours, and 25 hours.

Few studies have been carried out to determine the shelf-life of the Aloreña de Málaga table olive packaging from a physicochemical, microbiological and sensorial point of view. This study showed that under the current packaging conditions, commercial products were free from Enterobacteriaceae, the initial yeast population was progressively inhibited, and only lactic acid bacteria grew during shelf-life. Among the physicochemical characteristics, pH decreased, lactic acid was formed while citric acid and mannitol were consumed. These changes resulted in gradual olive texture degradation and green color fading during packaging. A multivariate analysis showed that the packaged olives with storage time between 6 and 42 days enjoyed the highest acceptance; while after the 74th day, they were progressively losing acceptability, which was mainly evident at the 131st day of packaging (willingness-to-buy attribute was reduced to 50%). A complete microbiological stabilization would require the use of alternative preservatives since thermal treatment is not convenient for this type of olive speciality.

<em>Industries are technologically perfecting their products by adding new components, in order to meet the demands of consumers. The extraction of pulp from several tropical fruits for manufacture of bullets has been widely used, due to its nutritional and functional value. The aim this study was to develop an edible candy with the addition of passion fruit pulp adding nutritional value from natural ingredients. In order to carry out this study, fruits were purchased in the city of Sousa-PB, then sent to fruit processing sector located at IFPB Campus-Sousa, where the weighing process, sanitization in sodium hypochlorite solution was carried out 100ppm for 15 minutes, then the fruits were cut in half. The extraction was done manually, sieved for aryl separation. Soon after they were packed in plastic bags and sealed, a part sent to physicalchemical and microbiological analyzes and another frozen part to be used in elaboration of bullet. In process of bullet preparation (56.25%) of sucrose, (37.5%) glucose syrup and 6.25% of the passion fruit pulp were used. Microbiological and physical-chemical analyzes (moisture, ash, pH, acidity in citric acid, protein, soluble solids, flavonoids) were performed in the pulp and afterwards, hygroscopicity and color were only performed on bullet. According to results obtained, pulp and passion fruit bullet presented physical-chemical and microbiological results as established by legislation. The addition of concentrated passion fruit pulp extract may be an alternative, making a differentiated product with higher added value nutritionally, offering consumers health benefits without addition of dyes and artificial preservatives. </em>

The effects of storage temperature, light and time on the microflora of vacuum- or nitrogen-packed meat loaves were examined at intervals during 49 d at −4, 0, 3 and 7°C under dark and lighted displays. Storage of cooked cured meat loaves at −4°C for 49 d produced little increase in lactobacilli numbers (from log10 5.2 to 6.3) but resulted in significant (P&lt;0.05) increases in psychrotrophs (log10 3.9 to 5.9) and anaerobes (log10 5.1 to 6.3 under vacuum). Storage time and temperature above 0°C resulted in a significant (P&lt;0.05) increase in lactobacilli, psychrotroph and anaerobe numbers, regardless of packaging atmospheres, but the times at which counts reached approx. 108/g were deferred, i.e., day 7 at 7°C, day 21 at 3°C and day 28 at 0°C. Apart from a few exceptions in the numbers of psychrotrohs and lactobacilli, there were no significant differences in the numbers of microflora between vacuum- and nitrogen-packed meat loaves. At day 0, the dominant flora in both types of packaged samples was composed of Pseudomonas (32 to 34%), Brochothrix (24 to 38%), Micrococcus (9 to 22%) and Lactobacillus spp. (7 to 20%). By day 49, Lactobacillus spp. became a predominant part (62 to 76%) of the psychrotrophs. Few significant differences in the composition of psychrotrophs were found among different treatments. With an initial level of 102 coliforms per gram, there was no significant (P&gt;0.05) change in coliforms counts between treatments but the numbers of yeasts and molds were lower in nitrogen-packed samples at 3 and 7°C as compared with similarly treated vacuum-packed samples.
