ABSTRACT
The aim of the present work was to characterize cereal bars with high levels of fiber and w-3 using functional ingredients. Formulations were developed containing 0%, 5%, 10% and20% of linseed. Proximate chemical, w-linolenic and linoleic acids and acceptability analyses were carried out. The carbohydrate concentrations of the cereal bars with linseed were lower than those of the control (p<0.004); while the protein content did not differ among the formulations (p>0.05). The bar containing 20% of linseed presented higher lipid content (p<0.001). The formulations with 5% and 10% of linseed were considered sources of dietary fiber, while the formulation with 20% was considered a good source. Regarding -3, the formulations containing linseed were classified as excellent sources. The calorie value of the cereal bars was around 100 kcal/portion. The formulations containing linseed presented higher acceptability, and that with 20% of linseed was found to be the formulation with the best chemical and sensory characteristics. Therefore, the addition of linseed in cereal bars is a good option to develop a functional product, which may contribute to a healthy diet and to the reduction of several non-communicable diseases.
RESUMO
Objetivou-se caracterizar barras de cereais enriquecidas com fibra alimentar e ômega-3, utilizando ingredientes funcionais. Foram desenvolvidas formulações, contendo 0%, 5%, 10% e 20% de linhaça, realizadas análises químicas centesimal, de ácidos α-linolênico e linoléico e aceitabilidade. As concentrações de carboidratos das barras de cereais com linhaça foram menores que o controle (p<0,004) e o teor de proteína não diferiu entre as formulações (p>0,05). A barra de cereais contendo 20% de linhaça apresentou maior teor de lipídio (p<0,001). As formulações com 5% e 10% de linhaça são consideradas fontes de fibra alimentar e a formulação com 20%, boa fonte. Com relação ao ω-3, as formulações contendo linhaça foram classificadas como excelentes fontes. O valor calórico das barras de cereais foi em torno de 100 kcal/ porção. As formulações adicionadas de linhaça apresentaram maior aceitabilidade, e a de 20% de linhaça apresentou melhor formulação em relação às características químicas e sensoriais. Portanto, a adição de linhaça às barras de cereais é uma boa opção para desenvolver um produto funcional, que pode contribuir para uma dieta saudável e reduzir várias doenças crônicas não-transmissíveis.
