The objective of this study was to develop a prebiotic beverage from yacon and pineapple sweetened with stevia. Nine functional beverage formulations were prepared. The yacon and the pineapple were incorporated in three proportions, P1: 30-70, P2: 50-50 and P3: 70-30, respectively. The selection of the optimal treatment was made by sensory analysis. The physicochemical analyzes of the optimal formulation evaluated were pH, acidity, total soluble solids, instrumental color and % Fructo oligosaccharides (FOS) (1-Kestose and Nystose). For the interpretation of results, a randomized design with a 3 x 3 factorial arrangement was used. Beverages P1 and P2, obtained the highest score on a scale of 9 points (p> 0,05); however, the latter had a higher percentage of FOS (0,19%). The beverage presented the following physicochemical characteristics, pH: 3,58 ± 0,03, Total soluble solids: 5 ± 0,01 ° Brix, Acidity: 0,36 ± 0,01%, Density: 1,02 ± 0,01g / ml, Viscosity: 13,55 ± 0,15 cP, Color Index: -14,03 ± 1,65 and FOS (1-Kestose: 0,06% and Nystose: 0,13%).

This study has evaluated the effects of adding 4%, 6% and 8% soy fiber to wheat pasta for the production of dry wheat spaghetti. The properties of the mixture were evaluated for humidity, falling number, ashes, color, retained gluten, and subjected to farinograph (water absorption, development, stability) and extensograph analyses (resistance and extensibility). The spaghetti was evaluated with cooking tests (performance, increased volume, loss of soluble solids to cooking water) and sensory analysis. The addition of soy fiber to wheat flour resulted in mixtures with rheological and physicochemical characteristics suitable for the production of wheat spaghetti, enhancing performance and reducing the loss of soluble solids to the cooking water. The sensory analysis showed that, for all parameters tested, panelists favored mixtures with up to 6% soy fiber addition.

Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the influence of fig (Ficus carica) cultivars grown in subtropical regions on the physicochemical, rheological, and sensorial characteristics of the canned figs. Fresh fruits of the cultivars were analyzed for length, diameter, unit mass, total soluble solids, total titratable acidity, pH, total soluble solids/total titratable acidity ratio, and color. Canned figs were evaluated for titratable acidity, pH, color, texture profile, and sensory characteristics. The different physicochemical characteristics of the fresh figs influenced those of the obtained canned fruits. The canned figs from 'Lemon' and 'Pingo de Mel' presented the lowest and highest pH, respectively, whereas those from 'Troiano' showed the highest total titratable acidity. As for color, after processing, the canned figs, in general, presented a more greenish and darker color than the fresh fruits. The canned figs from 'Brunswick' and 'Troiano' had the lowest acceptance, whereas those from 'Bêbera Branca' and 'Roxo de Valinhos', the greatest. Less acid and softer canned figs are more widely accepted, which can be obtained from all cultivars, except from Brunswick and Troiano.

In the present research work, the objective was to evaluate the effect of partial substitution of milk by whey in the sensory and physicochemical characteristics of quinoa ice cream. Four formulations with different concentrations of whey (0, 25, 75 and 100%) were made. The sensory analysis of the formulations was carried out with 31 panelists using a five-point hedonic scale that allowed the taste, aroma, color, and sweetness of the ice cream to be evaluated. The physicochemical characteristics of the formulation that obtained the highest score in the sensory analysis were evaluated for 40 days. The characteristics consisted of the determination of acidity, pH, soluble solids content and overrun percentage. A statistical analysis was performed to evaluate the means and statistical significance of sensory and physicochemical characteristics. The F1 formulation obtained the highest score in the perception of taste, aroma and color, compared to the control formulation F0 (p <0.05). The 40-day storage of ice cream with 25% whey and 75% milk (F1), showed an increase in acidity and pH, and a decrease in the percentage of overrun. The content of soluble solids remained constant from day 10. In conclusion, whey can be a substitute for milk in the elaboration of ice cream at a level of 25%, improving the taste and aroma of the product, also of nutritional quality, since it has a higher protein content than milk.

Beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.) is a culture of great demand in Brazil due to its high nutritional value. However, water availability is a determining factor on its production. An alternative to reduce the damage caused by water stress is to apply organic solutes, such as ascorbic acid. The purpose hereof was to evaluate the postharvest quality of beetroots grown under different irrigation depths and ascorbic acid doses. The experiment was carried out in the Human, Social, and Agricultural Center&rsquo;s Postharvest Physiology and Technology Laboratory of the Federal University of Para&iacute;ba, Bananeiras, Para&iacute;ba, Brazil, in a completely randomized design with five doses of ascorbic acid (0.00, 0.29, 1.00, 1.71, and 2.00 mM) and five irrigation depths (40.0%, 51.6%, 80.0%, 108.4%, and 120.0% of the evapotranspiration), combined according to each Box Central Compound experimental matrix, totaling nine treatments with five repetitions. The variables total soluble solids, electrical conductivity, hydrogenation potential, titratable acidity, total soluble solids and titratable acidity ratio, moisture, dry matter, and mineral matter were evaluated. The data were submitted for analysis of variance and polynomial regression. There was a significant interaction between the irrigation depths and the ascorbic acid doses in every variable, except for electrical conductivity and mineral matter. The postharvest characteristics of beetroots improved with applications of ascorbic acid doses in the thinner irrigation depths. The greatest dose of ascorbic acid (2 mM) in the thinner irrigation depth (40%) increases the postharvest quality of beet tuberous roots.
