Resumo: Diante dos desconfortos ocorridos no Restaurante Universitário da Universidade Federal de Campina Grande Campus I, relacionados à qualidade das refeições servidas diariamente, notou-se a necessidade da implantação de um programa de verificação e atualização das boas práticas de manipulação de alimentos. Objetivou-se a avaliação das práticas de manipulação alimentar e das condições das instalações higiênico-sanitárias do restaurante, com posterior treinamento dos funcionários, para melhoramento da qualidade e segurança dos alimentos servidos. A verificação deu-se pela aplicação do check-list disposto na resolução RDC nº 216/2004 da ANVISA. O Restaurante Universitário apresentou dos 123 questionamentos realizados, 37,3% de conformidades, 43% de não conformidades, e os demais quesitos foram preenchidos com a opção NA (Não se aplica) ou não puderam ser preenchidos por falta de acesso às informações necessárias. Conforme a classificação pela Categorização dos Serviços de Alimentação da ANVISA, o estabelecimento foi no Grupo 4, com nota 605,38. O Restaurante Universitário oferecia riscos de ocorrências de Doenças Transmitidas por Alimentos, devido à grande quantidade de itens avaliados fora da conformidade. Sugeriu-se treinamento contínuo aos funcionários e a disponibilização de um profissional capacitado na área, para supervisão e treinamento dos manipuladores de alimentos. Palavras-chaves: Higiene.

The objective of the assessment of food handling practices and conditions of hygiene and sanitary facilities restaurant, with subsequent training of employees to improve the quality and safety of food served. The verification was due to the implementation of the checklist provisions of resolution RDC n o . 216/2004 of ANVISA. The University Restaurant presented the 123 inquiries made, 37.3% of compliance, 43% of non-compliance, and other questions were filled with the NA option (Not applicable) or could not be completed due to lack of access to necessary information. As ranked by the categorization of ANVISA Food services, the property was in Group 4, with score 605.38. The University Restaurant offering risk Transmitted Disease occurrences for food due to the large amount of items evaluated out of compliance. It was suggested ongoing training to employees and the availability of a skilled professional in the area for supervision and training of food handler.

The objective of this study was to promote the development of strawberry jellies with young finger pepper, also determining the influence of the addition of maltodextrin on its physicochemical and textural properties. Four formulations were made using different maltodextrin concentrations (0, 5, 10 and 15%). The jellies were evaluated with respect to physicochemical parameters (moisture content, water activity, total solids, total soluble solids, ashes, proteins, lipids, ascorbic acid, total titratable acidity, ratio and pH) and instrumental texture profile (firmness, cohesiveness, adhesiveness, chewing and chewing). The results were statistically analyzed using a completely randomized design, whose means were compared by Tukey test. Through the obtained results, it was verified the viability in the use of strawberry and pepper for the production of jelly, all the samples are adequate to the quality standard established by the legislation. The addition of maltodextrin increased pH, soluble solids, ratio and vitamin c, showed opposite behavior regarding moisture content, water activity and acidity. Regarding the texture, it was found that the increase of maltodextrin caused the decrease of the parameters of firmness, adhesiveness, gummy and chewable and increased cohesiveness of the samples.

Background Pretreatments of drying can represent an alternative to minimize the negative aspect process on the dry samples. Thus, the influence of ethanol (ET) and freezing (FG) as drying pretreatments was analyzed for slices of papaya. The slices (5 mm) were submitted for drying kinetics (60 °C and 1.5 m s−1). Drying kinetics experimental data were fitted using Page's model and a diffusive model with boundary condition of types I and III. Also the thermophysical properties (thermal conductivity and specific heat) were determined and finally, the kinetics of ultrasound‐assisted (40 kHz and 132 W) extraction of total phenolic compounds (TPCs) were realized. Results The combined method (ET + FG) was more efficient in reducing the drying time of papaya slices (48%) and the model 2 simulating the boundary condition of the third type (type III) showed the best fit to the experimental data. Effective diffusivity and convective coefficient were higher for ET + FG, where the maximum reduction in water content was 91% compared to fresh slices. The pretreatments did not influence the thermal conductivity, however, they were significant in the specific heat and in the extraction of TPCs, being higher in the time of 180 min. Conclusion It was confirmed in the results presented that the combined pretreatment ET + FG is the most viable for drying papaya slices. Furthermore, it was found to be the most efficient in minimizing the loss of TPCs. Therefore, this pretreatment has great potential for application in the development of high value‐added foods. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.
