ResumoNa presente pesquisa, o objetivo foi avaliar a qualidade do pão tipo francês, comercializado em panificadoras de João Pessoa-PB, por meio de métodos instrumentais e sensoriais. Inicialmente, amostras de pães das doze panificadoras selecionadas nesse estudo foram submetidas às determinações de volume específico, umidade, pH, acidez, cor da casca, cor do miolo e perfil de textura, tendo todas essas análises sido realizadas em triplicata, com 10 repetições. Em seguida, foi aplicado um teste de aceitação sensorial, utilizando-se uma escala hedônica de nove pontos, com 65 provadores, que avaliaram as amostras quanto aos atributos aparência, cor da casca, cor do miolo, crocância da casca, aroma, sabor, textura e aceitação global. Nos testes instrumentais, foi observado que a maioria dos pães apresentou umidade abaixo de 26% e acidez acima de 4,5 mL de NaOH 0,1N/10 g de pão. Com relação ao volume específico, valores satisfatórios foram observados em 86,2% das amostras (entre 5,0 e 8,0 cm³/g), enquanto para a luminosidade da casca (60-78), e firmeza (2,87 a 6,32 N), esse percentual foi em torno de 80%. Para as demais características de textura foi observado que a média da elasticidade variou de 0,91 -1,93, da coesividade de 0,72 -0,86 e da mastigabilidade de 1,91 -5,71 N. Em relação à aceitação sensorial, somente 50% das panificadoras tiveram seus pães aceitos em todos os atributos avaliados, com escores médios iguais ou superiores a 6. As demais amostras foram rejeitadas por falta de crocância, e uma destas teve seus pães rejeitados também nos atributos aroma, sabor e aparência, apresentando, portanto, maior necessidade de adequação.

Initially, samples from twelve bakeries selected in this study were submitted for determination of specific volume, moisture, pH, acidity, crust color, crumb color and texture profile, all of these analyses have been performed in triplicate, with 10 repetitions. A sensory acceptance test was applied using a 9-point hedonic scale, with 65 tasters. The samples were evaluated considering attributes of appearance, crust color, crumb color, crust crispness, aroma, taste, texture and the overall acceptability. In instrumental tests, it was observed that most of samples showed moisture below 26% and acidity above 4.5 mL of N/10 NaOH 0.1N/10 g of bread.With respect to the specific volume, satisfactory values were observed in 86,2% of samples (between 5.0 and 8.0 cm³/g), while for skin brightness (60-78) and firmness (2.87 to 6.32 N), this percentage was

The aim of this study was to add dehydrated kale (Brassica oleracea var. acephala) to the formulation of a loaf of bread at concentrations of 2.5% and 5%, and submit the products obtained to physico-chemical, sensory and chemical composition analysis. We also designed a control loaf of bread for comparison purposes. The addition of dehydrated kale increased the pH and acidity of the bread; however, it did not affect the specific volume, which ranged from 4.57 to 4.08 cm 3 / g, and the water activity, which was 0.95, making it possible to obtain products with satisfactory technological characteristics. In the sensory test, the kale bread showed good acceptance, with mean scores ranging from 6.5 to 8.4, and outstanding softness. The color of the bread with 5% kale was the only attribute that obtained a mean score below the one obtained for the control bread. The addition of dehydrated kale promoted greater increase in the fiber (133-281%), calcium (176-297%), phosphorus (201-232%), potassium (208-318%) and magnesium (181-300%) content of the bread; however, only for copper (140-160%) and manganese (76-118%), were increments sufficient to make the products good sources of these minerals. As regards the level of oxalic acid, the concentrations obtained were far below the level considered as risky to health. Therefore, the addition of dehydrated kale to the formulation of bread resulted in products with good sensory acceptance, increased their nutritional value, and offered consumers a new choice of bread. ResumoNesse estudo o objetivo foi adicionar couve (Brassica oleraceae var. acephala) desidratada à formulação de pão de forma, nas concentrações de 2,5% e 5%, e submeter os produtos obtidos as análises físico-químicas, sensoriais e de composição química. Ainda, foi elaborado um pão controle, para fins de comparação. A adição de couve desidratada promoveu elevação no pH e acidez dos pães, entretanto, não interferiu no volume específico, que variou de 4,57 a 4,08 cm 3 /g, e na atividade de água, que foi de 0,95, sendo possível obter produtos com características tecnológicas satisfatórias. No teste sensorial, os pães adicionados de couve apresentaram boa aceitação, com escores médios variando de 6,5 a 8,4, destacando-se quanto à maciez. A cor do pão com 5% de couve foi o único atributo que obteve escore médio abaixo do obtido para o pão controle. A adição de couve desidratada promoveu maior
