ABSTRACT

O crescimento do mercado de alimentos funcionais e orgânicos, assim como a maior conscientização do consumidor em relação aos efeitos tóxicos e mutagênicos de alguns aditivos artificiais, tem impulsionado a indústria a substituir compostos artificiais por naturais. Emulsões alimentícias, como salsichas e maionese, são sistemas bifásicos altamente suscetíveis às reações de oxidação lipídica responsável pela degradação da coloração dos produtos e formação de off-flavors desagradáveis. Para retardar ou inibir a oxidação e aumentar o sheff fife das emulsões, a indústria alimentícia faz uso de compostos sintéticos artificiais. Desta forma, o objetivo deste estudo foi de, inicialmente, avaliar a atividade antioxidante de vinte e dois compostos (artificiais e naturais), classificando-os de acordo com a atividade antioxidante determinada através de cinco diferentes metodologias in vitro. As amostras foram classificadas em três clusters de acordo com os resultados expressos como equivalentes de trolox (TE) observados nos diferentes métodos. A aplicação das técnicas estatísticas multivariadas sugeriu que dentre os compostos que apresentaram maior atividade antioxidante, a partir dos métodos DPPH, FRAP, TBARS e ORAC, foram ácido cafeico, ácido carnósico, genisteína e resveratrol. Essa propriedade apresentou correlação significativa com o número de anéis fenólicos e estrutura catecólica presentes nessas moléculas. Baseando-se nessa classificação, e na hipótese de interações positivas para a resposta antioxidante foram selecionados três compostos hidrossolúveis (ácido cafeico, ácido carnósico e glutationa) e três lipossolúveis (quercetina, rutina e genisteína) para composição de duas misturas. A proporção de cada composto foi otimizada a partir da metodologia de superfície de resposta (MSR) avaliando-se a atividade antioxidante por três metodologias in vitro. A otimização do modelo polinomial sugeriu que as misturas contendo 47% de ácido cafeico e 53% de ácido carnósico ou 67% de quercetina e 33% de rutina apresentaram sinergismo, tornando essas combinações potencialmente interessantes para futura aplicação em matrizes alimentícias. A efetividade antioxidante das misturas otimizadas em relação a um composto artificial foi avaliada em uma emulsão alimentícia (salsicha) na proporção 5OO e 800 mg/Kg. Ambas misturas (hidro e lipossolúveis) em ambas dosagens apresentaram menores concentrações de TBARS que a amostra formulada com o eritorbato de sódio durante o sheff fife. Considerando-se o resultado da análise sensorial como critério de viabilidade, a mistura quercetina + rutina (5OO mg/Kg), apresentou-se como melhor alternativa de substituição do eritorbato de sódio na formulação de salsichas tipo hot dog


The growth of the functional and organic food market combined with customer awareness about the toxicological and mutagenic effects observed in some artificial additives have stimulated the companies to replace artificial with natural compounds in the food formulation. Emulsions are biphasic systems that are highly susceptible to Iipid oxidation which is able to cause damage to the color of products and the formation of undesirable bad flavors. In order to retard or inhibit the oxidation and extend the emulsions shelf-life companies have applied synthetic artificial compounds. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant activity of twenty two compounds (artificial and natural) and classify them according to their antioxidant activity as measured by tive different in vitro methodologies. The samples were classified into three clusters in function of their antioxidant activity expressed as Trolox equivalents (TE). The application of multivariate statistical techniques suggested that caffeic acid, carnosic acid, genistein and resveratrol showed greater antioxidant activity when evaluated by DPPH, FRAP, TBARS and ORAC methodologies. The antioxidant activity of these compounds showed a significant positive correlation with the number of phenolic rings and cathecol structures present in these molecules. Three hydrosolube compounds (caffeic acid, carnosic acid and gluthatione) and three liposoluble compounds (quercetin, rutin and genistein) were selected to prepare two assays based on the multivariate classification and on the hypothesis of positive interactions to the antioxidant response. The proportion of each compound in the mixture was optimized by the response surface methodology (RSM) on the results obtained from three in vitro methodologies. The optimization of the polynomial models suggested that mixtures containing 47% caffeic acid and 53% carnosic acid, or 67% quercetin and 33% rutin showed synergism making these mixtures potentially viable solutions for applications in the food matrix. The antioxidant effectiveness of the optimized mixtures compared to an artificial compound was evaluated in the food emulsion (sausages) in two dosages (500 and 800 mg/Kg). Both mixtures (hydrosoluble and liposoluble) in both dosages, promoted lower TBARS concentration than the sample formulated with sodium erythorbate during a shelf-life of 45 days under refrigeration. However, using into sensory results as selection criteria, the mixture containing quercetin and rutin at dosage of 500 mg/kg, proved to be the best alternative to replace sodium erythorbate in the sausage formulations

ABSTRACT

Este trabalho teve como principais objetivos verificar as alterções na atividade de enzimas amilolíticas, pectinolíticas e celulásicas em raízes de mandioquinha-salsa durante o período pós-colheita, sob diferentes condições de armazenamento, visando avaliar os mecanismos de deterioração das raízes, bem como identificar o microrganismo possivelmente responsável pela alta perecibilidade das raízes. Além disso, foram estudadas características físico-químicas e reológicas do amido de mandioquinha extraído em laboratório. Para a detecção de atividade pectinesterásica (PE) e poligalacturonásica (PG) nas raízes, os parâmetros de extração destas enzimas foram otimizados através de metodologia de superfície de resposta (MSR)...


The aim of this work was to verify the changes in amylolytic, pectinolytic and cellulasic activity in Peruvian carrot roots after harvest, under different storage conditions, in order to evaluate the deteriorative mechanisms of the roots, as well as to identify the microorganism possible responsible to its low conservation time. In addition, physico-chemical and rheological characteristics of Peruvian carrot starch were studied. For pectinesterase (PE) and poligalacturonase (PG) detection on the roots, the extraction parameters of both enzymes were optimized by response surface methodology. The enzymes presented the optimum pH values at 7.5 and 4.0 for PE and PG, respectively. Extraction time and NaCI concentration were considered non-significant by the model. Pectic enzymes seams to be related to the deterioration process of Peruvian carrot, that is associated to the root softening. Considering the high volume of gas under specific packing and temperature, the presence of microorganisms soft rot promoters could be the main cause of the high perecibility of the roots. The amylolytic enzymes present an important role on Peruvian carrot deterioration related to the starch hydrolysis and the releasing of reducing sugars, substrate for opportunistic microorganisms. The cellulasic activity was not significant during storage time. Best conditions for roots conservation occurred at 4°C and under vacuum package. The bacteria isolated from the roots were identified by biochemical reactions as Erwinia carotovora subsp. odorifera. Peruvian carrot...
