ABSTRACT Fruits provide not only essential nutrients for food, but also bioactive compounds that promote health benefits and help reducing the risk of developing non-communicable chronic diseases. In this sense, this work aimed at quantifying bioactive compounds during the maturation of four fruits native to the Restinga forest of Ceara. Myrtle fruits (Eugenia punicifolia (Kunth) DC.) were collected at the Botanical State Park of Ceara, Caucaia-CE, and guajiru (Chrisobalanus icaco L.), manipuça (Mouriri cearensis Huber) and murici-pitanga fruits (Byrsonima gardneriana A. Juss.) at the Botanical Garden of São Gonçalo, São Gonçalo do Amarante-CE. Fruits were collected at different stages (E) and transported to the Laboratory of Plant Ecophysiology, being characterized into five or six maturation stages according to the bark color, then processed and frozen for the following physicochemical and chemical evaluations: ascorbic acid, total chlorophyll, total carotenoids, total anthocyanins and yellow flavonoids. A completely randomized design was used, with five or six treatments, depending on the maturation stages of fruits and four replicates. Murici-pitanga had higher contents of ascorbic acid (ascorbic acid 646.23 mg/100 g E5), total carotenoids (6.13 mg/100 g E5) and total anthocyanins (7.99 mg/100 g E2); and myrtle had higher contents of total chlorophyll (11.05 mg/100 g E1) and yellow flavonoid (69.11 mg/100 g E2). There are positive and significant correlations between chlorophyll and carotenoid (R= 0.99; P <0.01) for manipuça and between anthocyanin and yellow flavonoid (R= 0.97; P <0.05) for murici-pitanga fruits; however, the correlation is negative and significant between ascorbic acid and yellow flavonoids (R= -0.98; P <0.05) for myrtle fruits. It could be concluded that murici-pitanga and myrtle fruits had the highest contents of bioactive compounds with the highest levels, therefore both fruits can be recommended to be commercially exploited by the food, cosmetic and phytomedicine sectors.

Abstract Brazil presents a great variety of native fruits, which have aroused commercial interest, such as the strawberry guava. In this sense, many researches have looked for alternatives that allow postharvest availability of fruits, considering that perishability is a limiting factor for its commercialization. The freezing process is an important alternative in the sense of making these fruits available for longer on the market. The use of L-ascorbic acid is a potent protective agent in the stability of bioactive compounds in fruit pulps. The objective of this study was to evaluate potentially bioactive compounds present in red and yellow strawberry guava pulps added with L-ascorbic acid (1% m / m) and verify its effect on retention of these compounds and in its antioxidant activity during the frozen storage (-20 ± 2ºC). In the pulps were analyzed: antioxidant activity by the capture of the DPPH° and ABTS° radicals, phenols, anthocyanins and total carotenoids. L-ascorbic acid positively influences the retention of bioactive compounds (total phenols, total anthocyanins and total carotenoids) in red and yellow strawberry guava pulps during 120 days of frozen storage (-20 ± 2 ºC).

The study examined the nutritional composition and sensory attributes of cookie. In this study, blends of commercial wheat (CWF), yellow maize flours (YMF) and African walnut protein isolate (AWPI) were optimized for cookie production. The cookies were studied in a completely randomized design and assessment of the proximate composition was conducted. The best cookie samples with high protein and fiber, low fat and highest rating in sensory attributes were selected for the determination of vitamins and mineral composition. The result revealed that the control cookie was highest in moisture, fat and carbohydrate but lower in protein, ash and fibre. Enriched cookie 36.69g CWF, 39.57g YMF, 23.74g AWPI and 42.86g CWF, 42.86g YMF, 14.29g AWPI were highest in protein and fibre, respectively while 55.56g CWF, 33.33g YMF, 11.11g AWPI was low in fat. Overall acceptability was highest in control cookie followed by enriched cookie 55.56g CWF, 33.33g YMF, 11.11g AWPI. The vitamin composition of the selected enriched samples show that sample 42.86g CWF, 42.86g YMF, 14.29g AWPI had the highest value of 2.53 mg/100 g in ascorbic acid; sample 55.56g CWF, 33.33g YMF, 11.11g AWPI scored the highest value of 0.14, 0.07 and 1.33 mg /100 g in thiamine, riboflavin and niacin respectively, while sample 36.69g CWF, 39.57g YMF, 23.74g AWPI scored highest in vitamin A (276.67 mg/100g). The cookie sample 36.69g CWF, 39.57g YMF, 23.74g AWPI shows the highest values of 130.00, 0.043, 9.77, 333.33 and 85.00 for calcium, manganese, iron, sodium and phosphorus, respectively.

<p>Processed food products may undergo changes in chemical composition during processing, leading to potential losses in nutritional value. The objective of this study was to determine carotenoid retention in immature grains of normal corn (BRS1030) and corn biofortified (BRS4104) with vitamin A precursors subjected to different thermal treatments: cooking in a microwave, cooking in a pressure cooker, cooking in a pot with a lid and cooking in a pot without a lid. The experiment had a completely randomized design in a factorial scheme (cultivar and type of cooking). The carotenoids were extracted in a sequential organic solvent scheme and quantified by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The results were submitted to analysis of variance (ANOVA), and when significant, the means were compared using the least significant difference (LSD) test (p = 0.05). Despite cultivars, the concentrations of carotenoid vitamin A precursors and total carotenoids in the immature corn grains were reduced after cooking the ears in a microwave or in a pressure cooker. The best treatments for preserving carotenoids according to the conditions studied are cooking in a pot with a lid and in a pot without a lid.</p>

ABSTRACT This study aimed to prepare jellies of conventional type of red strawberry guava (with added sucrose) and no added sugar and evaluate the physical and chemical composition and content of bioactive compounds in them. Four jellies formulations were prepared: conventional with addition of sucrose (F1), aspartame (F2), saccharin and cyclamate (F3), acesulfame and sucralose (F4). Physicochemical analysis of pH were carried out, as well as analysis of titratable acidity, total soluble solids, ashes, proteins, lipids, moisture, carbohydrates, calories, lightness, color tone, total phenols, anthocyanins, carotenoids, ascorbic acid and antioxidant activity, by the capture of DPPH and ABTS radicals. Conventional and no added sugars jellies did not differ for total phenols, total anthocyanins and ascorbic acid. However, processing exerted significant influence (p=0.05) on total carotenoids and antioxidant activity. It is feasible to use red strawberry guava for the preparation of conventional and no added sugar jellies. The products, however, show a significant difference in carotenoids content, with the highest content of these and higher antioxidant activity in processed jellies without sugars addition.

The objective of this work was to evaluate the visual and chemical quality of tangerines after mechanical damage by impacts. The tangerine cultivars Montenegrina and Rainha were submitted to different degrees of impact and evaluated for decay and oleocellosis, loss of fresh weight, total soluble solids, total titratable acidity and ascorbic acid degradation, as well as for epicarp color changes. Experiments with three replicates and experimental units of six fruit for each cultivar were done in a completely randomized design. Impact produced qualitative internal and minor external changes on tangerines. The main modifications produced by impact on the fruit were losses of citric acid and soluble solids, which increased the solid:acid ratio, and losses of ascorbic acid. 'Montenegrina' tangerines are more susceptible to internal quality damage than 'Rainha'.

ABSTRAK Buah melon yang telah mengalami pengolahan minimal memiliki sifat mudah rusak (perishable) dengan masa simpan yang relative singkat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengatahui pengaruh pelapisan gel lidah buaya dengan campuran asam askorbat dan kalium sorbat terhadap susut bobot, pH dan organoleptik buah melon potong segar atau proses minimal. Penelitian menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) terdiri dari dua faktor perlakuan yaitu konsentrasi asam askorbat (0%, 1.5% dan 3%) dan kalium sorbat (0%, 0.2% dan 0.4%). Percobaan ini diulang sebanyak tiga kali dengan suhu penyimpanan 5±2?C. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan asam askorbat dan kalium sorbat berpengaruh nyata terhadap nilai susut bobot, pH dan atribut organoleptik buah melon potong segar. Asam askorbat dan kalium sorbat mampu menghambat kehilangan bobot, mempertahankan nilai organoleptik dan menurunkan nilai pH sehingga aktivitas pertumbuhan jamur dan kapang terhambat pada buah potong tersebut. Gel lidah buaya dengan penambahan asam askorbat 3% dan kalium sorbat 0,2% merupakan perlakuan yang memberikan nilai atribut organoleptik terbaik selama penyimpanan. Kombinasi ini mampu mempertahankan nilai warna dan tekstur hingga hari ke 14 serta mempertahankan aroma hingga hari ke 10. ABSTRACT Melon fruit which is undergone a minimal process is easy to damage (perishable) with short shelf life.  This study aims to determine the effect of coating aloe vera gel with a mixture of ascorbic acid and potassium sorbate on weight loss, pH, and organoleptic of fresh-cut melons. This study using a completely randomized design (CRD consisted of two treatment factors, namely ascorbic acid (0%, 1.5%, and 3%) and potassium sorbate (0%, 0.2% and 0.4%)). The experiment was replicated three times with a storage temperature of 5 ± 2?C. The results showed that ascorbic acid and potassium sorbate significantly affected the weight loss, pH, and organoleptic values ??of fresh-cut melons. Ascorbic acid and potassium sorbate can inhibit weight loss, maintain organoleptic values ??, and reduce the pH value of fresh-cut melons so that the activity of fungal and mold growth is inhibited. Aloe vera gel with the addition of 3% ascorbic acid and 0.2% potassium sorbate was the treatment that gave the best organoleptic value during storage. This combination can maintain the value of color and texture up to day 14 and maintain aroma until day 10.
