The objective of this work was to formulate and to characterize chemically and physically different formulations of camu-camu jellies, with or without mixture of other fruits. Their sensory acceptance was evaluated by identifying the formulations with greater acceptability while maintaining their nutraceutical potential. The formulations were: camu-camu jelly, camu-camu jelly with jabuticaba, camu-camu jelly with guava, camu-camu jelly with acerola, camu-camu jelly with passion fruit and camu-camu jelly with papaya. Untrained tasters were used to assess consumer acceptability. In a second scale the purchase intention was evaluated. The following variables were also analyzed: pH, soluble solids, titratable acidity, ratio (SS/TA), ascorbic acid, total anthocyanins and flavonoids, phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity by the DPPH and FRAP methods. The results showed that camu-camu jelly without mixtures was not well accepted in the sensory test when compared to the others. The greatest preference was for mixed jams of camu-camu with guava and jabuticaba, in which they obtained greater acceptance and purchase intention. Jellies with higher levels of bioactive compounds and antioxitant activity obtained low acceptance and purchase intention, perhaps due to their high astringency.
The high levels of vitamin C in camu-camu have stimulated the interests of extractivists, farmers and consumers. The aim of this study was to characterize five accessible for family agroindustry different formulations of camu-camu popsicles and assess their acceptance. A completely randomized design was used and the treatments consisted of five different popsicle formulations: camu-camu pulp (T1 and T2: 27%, T3 and T4: 20.8%; T5: 61%), water (T1 and T2: 43.5%, T3 and T4: 20.8%; T5: no water), whole milk powder (T1 and T2: 14.7%, T3 and T4: 29.2%; T5: 18.3%), sugar (T1 and T2: 14.7%, T3 and T4: 29% and T5: 20.6%), neutral alloy and emulsifier. The formulations were processed and the popsicles were evaluated for pH, soluble solids, titratable acidity, vitamin C, acceptability index (SS/TA) and macro and micro nutrients were identified. On the sensorial analysis, the popsicles were evaluated for appearance, color, flavor, texture and purchase intent by 40 untrained tasters. The acceptance of the camu-camu popsicles was lower when the formulation was more diluted. Formulations T3, T4 and T5 showed the most wanted qualitative attributes and these preparations received top scores in the sensory analysis.
Palavras-chaves -Germoplasma. Produção. Roraima. Solanum lycopersicon.Abstract -Tomato (Solanum lycopersicon) is cultivated on a large scale in Brazil and worldwide. Due to the fact that it has a relatively short cycle and higher yields, the tomato crop has good economic prospects and the cultivated area is increasing dayle. The aim of this study was to evaluate the physical and chemical characteristics of fruits of different tomato accessions in the greenhouse conditions in Boa Vista-RR. The following accessions were evaluated: 18 (cherry tomato), 209 (cherry tomato), 243 (CNPH 738), 101 (tomato Santa Cruz -KADA), 102 (tomato Yoshimatsu), and 246 (CNPH 0171). The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with six treatments and four replications. The fruit at the point of harvest, were collected properly identified and evaluated for the following characteristics: vitamin C content, pH, acidity, soluble solids, soluble solids /acidity, fresh, transverse and longitudinal diameter of the fruit, the pericarp thickness and dry matter content. The data were subjected to variance analysis and means were compared by Duncan test at 5% probability. Except for the variable content of soluble solids, the other variables showed statistical differences. All accesses have attributes suitable for eating raw. With the exception of access 101 and 102 due to high pH (Access 101) and low dry matter content (access 101 and 102), others have attributes suitable for industrial processing
The present study was carried out to evaluate the antioxidant activity of and the content of bioactive compounds in camu-camu fruits harvested at different maturation stages and stored. The fruits were harvested in the municipality of Cantá, Roraima State, Brazil. The experimental design was completely randomized, with three replications, in a factorial arrangement consisting of three different maturation stages (immature, semi-mature and mature) and eight days of storage (3 x 8). The fruits were analysed every day regarding total vitamin C, carotenoids, anthocyanins, flavonoids, total phenolic compounds, and antioxidant activity (FRAP and DPPH). According to the results obtained, the interaction of maturation stages x eight days of storage had a significant effect according to the F test at 5% probability. The highest antioxidant activity (FRAP) was observed in the fruits harvested in the semi-mature stage, providing a longer shelf life. The carotenoid pigment, flavonoid, anthocyanin, and vitamin C contents were higher in the fruits harvested in the mature stage, and this stage was the most suitable for obtaining these functional biocompounds. Additionally, in mature fruits, the highest mean content of total phenolics and antioxidant activity (DPPH) were observed during storage. It was concluded that the mature stage is the most recommended for the extraction of pigments and antioxidant biocompounds from camu-camu fruits.
