ABSTRACT
O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o perfil de ácidos graxos (AG), os índices de qualidade nutricional e a estabilidade oxidativa (EO) de manteigas produzidas do leite de vacas alimentadas com dietas à base de cana-de-açúcar contendo níveis crescentes de óleo de girassol (OG): 0 (controle); 1,5; 3,0 e 4,5% da matéria seca (MS). O perfil de AG das manteigas foi analisado por cromatografia gasosa, e a EO foi determinada utilizando-se o equipamento Rancimat®, modelo 743, operado a 120ºC e fluxo de ar de 20L/h. As concentrações dos AG rumênico (CLA cis-9, trans-11), vacênico (C18:1 trans-11) e oleico (C18:1 cis-9) na gordura das manteigas foram aumentadas em 867, 687 e 148%, respectivamente, à medida que se aumentou de 0 para 4,5% o nível de OG na dieta. Por outro lado, as concentrações dos AG saturados de cadeia média foram linearmente reduzidas (P<0,0001) na gordura das manteigas, em razão do incremento de OG nas dietas. Quanto aos índices de qualidade nutricional, houve redução linear (P<0,0001) no índice de aterogenicidade e no de trombogenicidade e aumento da relação entre AG hipo e hipercolesterolêmicos, em resposta ao aumento do nível de OG na dieta. Consistente com o incremento (P<0,0001) nas concentrações totais dos AG mono e poli-insaturados, a EO da gordura das manteigas foi linearmente reduzida (P<0,0001) em razão do incremento de OG nas dietas. Concluiu-se que a suplementação com OG melhorou a qualidade nutricional das manteigas produzidas do leite de vacas Holandês x Gir devido a mudanças positivas no perfil de AG da gordura. Entretanto, tais mudanças na composição dos AG da gordura foram acompanhadas de redução da EO das manteigas, associada à menor vida de prateleira.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the fatty acid (FA) profile, nutritional quality and oxidative stability (OE) indexes of butter obtained from milk of cows fed sugar cane-based diets containing increasing levels of sunflower oil (SO): 0 (Control); 1.5; 3.0 and 4.5% of diet DM. The butter FA profile was analyzed by gas chromatography and OE was determined using the Rancimat® equipment (model 743) operated at 120ºC and air flow of 20 L/h. The concentrations of rumenic acid (cis-9 trans-11 CLA), vaccenic acid (trans-11 C18:1) and oleic acid (cis-9 C18:1) in butter fat were increased by 867, 687 and 148%, respectively, as the dietary SO level increased from 0 to 4.5%. In contrast, the concentrations of medium chain saturated FA were linearly reduced (P<0.05) in butter fat from cows fed increasing levels of SO. Regarding the butter nutritional quality, a linear decrease (P<0.0001) in atherogenicity and thrombogenicity indexes and a linear increase (P<0.0001) in the hypocholesterolemic/ hypercholesterolemic ratio were observed compared to control, 1.5, 3.0 and 4.5% SO, respectively. Consistent with the increased (P<0.0001) concentration of mono and polyunsaturated FA, the OE of butter fat was linearly reduced (P<0.0001) as the dietary SO level increased. It was concluded that diet supplementation with SO improved the nutritional quality of butter fat of Holstein x Gir dairy cows as a result of positive changes in milk FA profile. However, these changes in milk FA composition were accompanied by a reduction in the SO of butter, which in turn is associated with a shorter shelf life.

Parte del producto de la pesca se devuelve al mar aunque pudiera comercializarse. Tal es el caso del pez volador (Dactylopterus volitans), debido a que su morfología dificulta su manipulación. Este estudio tuvo por objetivo evaluar el efecto del tiempo sobre las características bacterianas y físico-químicas en filetes del pez volador almacenados a -18°C durante 6; 39; 67 y 95 días. Se realizaron recuentos (UFC/g) de aerobios mesófilos a 25 y 32°C y de Staphylococcus aureus y determinación del NMP/g de coliformes fecales y Escherichia coli. También se determinó humedad, pH y el índice de rancidez. El tiempo de almacenamiento bajo congelación no ejerció ningún efecto en los recuentos bacterianos, pues no se halló evidencia significativa (P > 0,05) de multiplicación o disminución de los mismos. Los recuentos de aerobios mesófilos en placa fueron bajos, no hubo crecimiento de S. aureus y el valor más alto de coliformes fecales fue de 240 NMP/g. Sin embargo, los valores de rancidez oxidativa y de pH si fueron significativamente diferentes (P < 0,05) durante el lapso de almacenamiento. El índice del ácido tiobarbitúrico varió de 0,27 hasta 3,12 mg de malonaldehído/kg debido, probablemente a la interacción de diversos factores, entre ellos, a los fragmentos de piel que quedaron en los filetes, presencia de sustancias pro-oxidantes y a las fluctuaciones de temperatura durante el almacenamiento. A pesar del incremento de la rancidez, la apariencia y el olor no indicaron deterioro. Se concluye que esta especie pudiera comercializarse bajo la modalidad de filetes siempre y cuando a los filetes se les elimine completamente la piel, se glaseen, se empaquen herméticamente y se vigilen las temperaturas de almacenamiento.
A part of the fish captured is discarded despite the fact that it could be commercialized. This is the case of flying gurnards´s fish (Dactylopterus volitans) because its morphology difficults its handling, even though it is eaten in differents forms. The objective of this research was to determine the effect of time on the bacteriological, physical and chemical characteristics of gurnard fillets kept in storage at -18°C during 6; 39; 67 and 95 days. Mesophilic aerobic plate counts (CFU/g) were made at 25 and 32°C and S. aureus. Also the most probable number (MPN/g) of fecal coliforms and E. coli was determined. Humidity was likewise determined, together with pH and the rancidity index. There was not evidence that the frozen storage´s days are a significant factor (P > 0.05) in the bacterial counts. Bacteriological results confirmed that during the processing steps hygienic and temperature norms were followed, since the aerobic plate counts were low, S. aureus did not grow and the highest number of fecal coliforms was 240 MPN/g. On the other hand, the frozen storage´s time influences significantly (P < 0.05) the lipid oxidation´s rate in frozen fillets because the thiobarbituric acid index oscillated from 0.27 to 3.12 mg malonaldehyde/kg, probably due to some skin fragments in the fillets, substances with pro-oxidative propierties and for temperature fluctuations in the storage. Nevertheless, in despite of rancidity increase, the appearance and the odor did not show signs of spoiling. In conclusion, this species could be commercialized in the form of fillets provided that the freezing, defrosting and storage temperatures are watched at all times. It is highly recommended that the fillets are fully peeled, glazed and packed air tight.
