Quality is a wide-ranging concept determined by many factors. It is a composite of those physical and chemical properties of the material which govern its acceptability and processing suitability. This study aimed to determine the physico-chemical and functional properties of the two jackfruit varieties (EVIARC Sweet and AES-2) grown in Eastern Visayas, Philippines. Fresh ripe jackfruit varieties were subjected to physico-chemical properties and functional component analyses following standard protocols. The two jackfruit varieties were found to have the following properties: the pH were 4.80 and 5.50; total soluble solids (TSS), 24.00 and 22.60oB; total titratable acidity (TTA), 0.33% and 0.12% citric acid; moisture content (MC), 77.30% and 75.96% (wb); total phenolics (TP), 127.73 and 125.91mg CE/100g; tannin content (TC),127.73 and 208.72 mg VE/100g; total reducing sugar (TRS), 15.43% and14.38%; total sulfur (TS), 0.36 and 0.57ppm; and antioxidant activity (AOA), 39.55 and 52.35% LP (lipid peroxidation) for EVIARC sweet and AES-2, respectively. Variety significantly affects the pH, TSS, TTA, %MC, TC, TRS, TS and AOA. Non-significance was noted on their TP contents.

<p>The proposal of the present research includes eight Blueberry jam formulations, from Rabbiteye species (Climax and Powder Blue varieties). For gelling, four formularizations were used: synthetic ATM pectin (F1), pectin obtained from passion fruit skin extraction (F2), synthetic BTM pectin (F3), and synthetic BTM pectin mixed with gums mixture (F4). Product Sensorial tests were performed and sensorial attributes evaluated were flavor, color, texture and appearance. According with sensorial tests and the Anova results, it could be concluded that the two more accepted formularizations were: F2 and F4 (For Climax variety) and F1 e F4 (for Powder Blue variety). Therefore, these formulations were evaluated for pH, total soluble solids, titratable acidity, water activity, total and reducing sugars, total and anthocyanins, from the first day of storage and after 30, 90 and 120 days to analyze the storage effect on jam characteristics. Jam processing reduces anthocyanins content (about 57% for conventional formulations and 35% for light jam); however, the jam may still be considered anthocyanins source, owing to the high content even after processing. After 40 storage days a significant decrease on jam anthocyanin levels was observed, except the products with higher sugar contents. Comparing the anthocyanin levels at time zero and after 120 days of storage, it appears that the decrease in pigment concentration was higher in the climax of fruit variety (approximately 44%). After 30 days of storage, the percentage of acidity, pH, water activity, moisture and soluble solids content remained constant.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>DOI: 10.14685/rebrapa.v5i1.150</p>

Blackberry (Rubus L.) is a naturally growing fruit in Anatolia. Consumption of fresh and frozen blackberries has increased in the past few years in Turkey. The aim of this study is to analyze blackberry at three levels of ripeness taking into account some physical and chemical properties (color, dry matter, soluble solids, total sugar, titratable acidity, pH, total phenolics, total anthocyanin, and minerals) in order to understand this behavior during the ripening process. Blackberry fruits were harvested at green, red and ripe (mature) stages. The determination of fruit maturity was based on fruit surface color. The dry matter, total phenolics and Hunter L, b values decreased but soluble solids, total sugar and total anthocyanins increased with maturity. In the early fruit ripening stages, pH decreased, titratable acidity and Hunter a value increased while in the later stages, pH increased, titratable acidity and Hunter a value decreased considerably. Analysis of variance revealed (P < 0.01) differences in these parameters based on ripeness stages. No remarkable changes in potassium, calcium, zinc and manganese concentrations occured during the development of fruits. Differences were observed for magnesium (P < 0.01), iron (P < 0.01) and copper (P < 0.05) during ripening of blackberry.

The objective of this work was to evaluate the influence of different proportions of jambolan pulp, sugar and water on the physical and chemical characteristics to obtain information that allows the use of jambolan and, consequently, the evaluation of these fruits. Six jambolan nectar formulations were established through Simplex design. Ingredients significantly affected luminosity (32,14-34,24), apparent viscosity (7.8-73.8 cP), total soluble solids (8.87-26.43 °Brix), titratable acidity (0.55 -0.83g citric acid 100g-1) and the TSS / TA ratio (16.05-34.96) in jambolan nectars. Jambolan nectar with 55g 100g-1 of jambolan pulp, 15g 100g-1 of sugar and 30g 100g-1 of water has the highest desirability in relation to physical and physicochemical properties, 85.1% DPPH inhibition, 10526.12 μg TE mL-1 and 27014.25 μmol TE mL-1 by ABTS and ORAC method, respectively. It could be concluded that it is possible to produce jambolan nectar which can increase the possibilities of applying fruit as an ingredient in the food industry.

The objective of this work was to perform the physical-chemical characterization of different formulations of the pequi pulp with the addition of different concentrations of whole milk, in order to identify promising products for commercial use. Three formulations of pequi pulp with whole milk were prepared: PL1- 90% pequi pulp and 10% milk, PL2 - 70% pequi pulp and 30% milk, PL3 - 50% pequi pulp and 50% milk. The formulations were evaluated for physical and physical-chemical parameters of color, water activity, water content, ash, total soluble solids (SST), pH, total titratable acidity (ATT), SST/ATT ratio, ascorbic acid, proteins, lipids, total, reducing and non-reducing sugars. The data obtained were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA) and comparison between means by the Tukey test at 5% probability. Among the three tested formulations, the best results were obtained for PL3, where it presented lower total titratable acidity, water activity, red intensity, yellow intensity and chromaticity, however, higher content of total soluble solids, ratio SST/ATT, ash, lipids, sugars (total, dimmer and non-dimmer), luminosity and tint angle. The inclusion of milk in the pequi pulp changed the physical and physical-chemical characteristics of the pulp, and it can be an alternative to add nutritional value to the fruit and consequently a promising product for the market.

The values of freezing point, titratable and active acidities, conductivity, water activity, humidity, nonfat milk solids the of samples of market bioyoghurt were analyzed. They significantly differ from the same row milk indicators. So, they demonstrated lower values of freezing point, active acidity, water activity, humidity, and increased values of titratable acidity and conductivity, and nonfat milk solids. A large dispersion of the studied products’ properties was found for each manufacturer production as well as between producers. Yoghurts with Bifidobacterium that were produced at the Brest region had the highest values of рН, nonfat milk solids and lowest values of freezing point and humidity. This fact evidences the manufacturer has a well-established technological process for the production of bioyogurt and traceability of raw milk supply. The boundaries of the confidence intervals of physical and chemical properties both by individual manufacturers and jointly were determined. A close relationship between conductivity and freezing point in bioyoghurts of some manufacturers has been found. The dynamics of their changes in last years is traced.

Quality cassava(Manihotesculentus, Crantz) flour is often influenced by process variables such as slice weight and soaking time which may affect its nutritional quality. In this study, the effect of process variables (slice weight and soaking time) on quality of cassava flour was carried out. Cassava root was peeled, washed and cut into varied sizes (25.86 - 54.14 g) and soaked at varied time (7.03 - 40.97 h). The proximate composition, physical and chemical properties of the flour were carried out using standard methods. The result in our findings showed that slice weight and soaking time had significant increase (p<0.05) on the proximate and physico-chemical properties of the flour.The amylose and amylopectin content of the flour increased with increasing soaking time while the hydrogen cyanide content decreased with increase in soaking time. Overall, the quality cassava flour displayed desirable properties for its incorporation into baked goods.

<p>Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar os parâmetros físico-químicos de polpas de fruta produzidas e comercializadas na cidade de Petrolina-PE, tendo como referência a Instrução Normativa nº 1, de 7 jan. 2000, do Ministério da Agricultura que define as características físicas e químicas estabelecendo limites mínimos e máximos específicos para cada polpa de fruta. Foram avaliadas duas marcas (1 e 2) de polpas de abacaxi, cacau, caju, graviola, maracujá e umbu, analisadas quanto aos parâmetros de pH, sólidos solúveis totais (SST), acidez total titulável (ATT), ácido ascórbico, relação SST/ATT e sólidos totais. Os resultados permitem inferir que a marca 2 apresentou qualidade superior na maioria dos parâmetros avaliados quando comparado com a marca 1. Entretanto para alguns sabores de polpa as duas marcas não atenderam os valores padrões. Entre as polpas o único sabor que apresentou os padrões exigidos foi a polpa de caju em ambas as marcas, e a que apresentou resultado de pior qualidade diante dos padrões foi a polpa de maracujá principalmente da marca 1. Dessa forma constata-se que há grandes variações entre as marcas, e entre alguns parâmetros, o que compromete a qualidade das polpas, prejudicando assim o consumidor.</p><p align="center"><strong><em>Physicochemical parameters of fruit pulps produced in Petrolina – PE</em></strong></p><p><strong>Abstract</strong><strong>: </strong>This study aimed to evaluate the physicochemical parameters of fruit pulps produced and marketed in the city of Petrolina-PE, with reference to the Instruction Nº 1 of 7 January 2000 of the Ministry of Agriculture, which defines the physical and chemical characteristics setting minimum and maximum limits specific to each fruit pulp. We evaluated two brands (1 and 2) of pineapple, cocoa, cashew, soursop, passion and umbu fruit pulp, analyzed for pH, total soluble solids (TSS), total titratable acidity (TTA), ascorbic acid, TSS / TTA and total solids parameters. Results show that the brand 2 showed superior in most evaluated parameters when compared to the brand 1. However, for some pulp flavors of both brands did not reached the standards values. Among the pulps, the only flavor that presented the required standards was the cashew pulp in both brands, and presented the results of lower quality on the standards was the passion fruit pulp mainly brand 1. Thus, it appears that there are great variations between brands and between some parameters, which compromises the quality of the pulp, thus impairing the consumer.</p>

Abstract Our understanding of the extraordinary mechanical and physico-chemical properties of spider silk is largely confined to the fibers produced by orb-weaving spiders, despite the diversity of foraging webs that occur across numerous spider families. Crab spiders (Thomisidae) are described as ambush predators that do not build webs, but nevertheless use silk for draglines, egg cases and assembling leaf-nests. A little-known exception is the Australian thomisid Saccodomus formivorus, which constructs a basket-like silk web of extraordinary dimensional stability and structural integrity that facilitates the capture of its ant prey. We examined the physical and chemical properties of this unusual web and revealed that the web threads comprise microfibers that are embedded within a biopolymeric matrix containing additionally longitudinally-oriented submicron fibers. We showed that the micro- and submicron fibers differ in their chemical composition and that the web threads show a remarkable lateral resilience compared with that of the major ampullate silk of a well-investigated orb weaver. Our novel analyses of these unusual web and silk characteristics highlight how investigations of non-model species can broaden our understanding of silks and the evolution of foraging webs.

ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the physico-chemical composition of native fruits of the Ceará coast at different development stages. The fruits of ‘guajiru’, ‘manipuçá’, ‘murici-pitanga’ and ‘murta’ were collected during the year 2014, and the following evaluations were made: total soluble solids, total titratable acidity, pH, total soluble solids and titratable acidity ratio. A completely randomized design was used, with 5 or 6 treatments, depending on the maturation stage and 4 replicates. For total soluble solids, ‘murta’ obtained a minimum of 2.6 °Brix in stage 1 and ‘manipuçá’ obtained maximum of 24.53 °Brix in stage 5. For the total titratable acidity, ‘guajiru’ showed minimum of 0.09% in stages 3 and 4, and ‘murici-pitanga’ showed maximum of 3.29% in stage 6. ‘Murici-pitanga’ had minimum pH of 3.44 in stage 5 and ‘guajiru’, maximum pH of 5.9 in stage 2. For total soluble solids and titratable acidity ratio, ‘murici-pitanga’ exhibited a minimum of 3.25 in stages 1 and 3, and ‘guajiru’ showed maximum of 141.11 in stage 4. It was concluded that ‘guajiru’ and ‘manipuçá’ fruits reached physiological maturity in stage 3, whereas ‘murici-pitanga’ and ‘murta’ fruits reached in stage 4; thus, these are the ideal stages for fruit harvest.
