A study was carried out to elaborate and monitor the shelf life of a pineapple jam with ingredients using, as “gelatinizing agent”, the pectin extracted from passion fruit residues from a rural community of Amazonas State, Brazil. The product was always maintained at a temperature of 25 °C and studied for 4 months, with the results showing physical-chemical and microbiological stability. We concluded that passion fruit residue can be used in pineapple jam production while still meeting legal standards for commercialization, reducing environmental waste, and being an alternative source of income in rural communities.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
