Desarrollo de una formulación de paté a base de descartes de pulpa de trucha arcoiris (Oncorhynchus mykiss) / Development of a paté formulation basis on rainbow trout discards

RESUMEN

Se desarrolló una formulación optimizada de paté utilizando descartes de pulpa de trucha arcoiris utilizando la metodología Taguchi teniendo en cuenta que sus beneficios sobre la salud lo convierte en una alternativa viable interesante como un producto con características funcionales para ayudar a los consumidores a tener un estilo de vida saludable. El proceso de optimización se llevó a cabo en dos etapas. Primero se ocupó el arreglo ortogonal L(8)2(7) con 7 variables independientes para seleccionar los factores de control que tuvieran un efecto significativo sobre la calidad sensorial (C.S.) quedando finalmente seleccionadas ají merken, cloruro de sodio, manteca vegetal junto con el arreglo ortogonal L(9)3(4) .Las respuestas de C.S. fueron sometidas a un análisis estadístico de diferencias de magnitud de promedios y análisis de varianza (ANOVA) determinándose que los factores que influyeron significativamente (p2/Kg. grasa respectivamente, ambos inferiores a los máximos permitidos por la reglamentación chilena. Con respecto a la aceptabilidad del producto fue de 91% y el 87% de los encuestados estaría dispuesto a comprarlo.

ABSTRACT

An optimized formulation of pate was developed using rainbow trout discard with the employment of Taguchi methodology, taking into account that the health-promoting benefits of this resource makes it a viable alternative as a functional foods to help consumers to get a healthy lifestyle. The optimization process utilizing Taguchi methodology was carried out in two phases. First, an orthogonal array L(8)2(7) with seven independent variables was chosen to select the control factors with a significant effect on the sensory quality (SQ). As a result, the following independent variables were selected merkén pepper, sodium chloride, vegetal lard and margarine. In the second stage the L(9)3(4) orthogonal array was used. Data were analysed using differences between average values of factors according working levels, and also ANOVA, summing up that merken pepper, sodium chloride and margarine showed a significant effect (p>0.05) on the SQ. Best combination turned to be merkén 0.7%, sodium chloride 1.3%, vegetal lard 5.2% and margarine 5.2%. Among the chemical characteristics highlighted protein 13.8%, lipid 10.21%, caloric density 175 Kcal/100g and colesterol 46mg/100g. Shelf life study during a period of time of 6 weeks at 5ºC expressed as mesophyl aerobic count (MAC) and peroxide index were 1.6E+0.4 ufc/g and 8.44 meq O2/Kg respectively, both characteristics lower than the maximum limits allowed for chilean regulations. Concerning to the acceptability of the optimized product the hedonic test showed 91% approval and also 87% of consumers would be well disposed to buy this product.
