The objective was to characterize a physical-chemical quality in soybeans. Storage units stored in municipalities in the Midwest region of Brazil. The soybeans were collected in eight grain storage units distributed in different municipalities in the Midwest region. It carried out a characterization of grains by means of moisture content, electrical conductivity, color, bulk density, mass of a thousand grains, pH, close composition and the acidity, peroxide and iodine indices of the oil. A physical characterization is shown with 127.15 µS cm-1 g-1 for electrical conductivity, 7.50 for pH, 55.74 for L *, 10.41 a * and 31.46 for b *, 33, 15 for chroma and 71.70 for h*, 163.91 g of corn mass and 701.00 kg m-3 of apparent specific mass. The proximal composition gave average values of 11.30% for moisture content, 32.11% for protein, 7.76% for fiber, 4.68% for ash, 20.62% for carbohydrates and 23.62% for the moisture content. oil. A characterization of the oil quality indexes shown with values of 0.08 mg KOH of oil-1 for acidity, 1.18 meq of O2 kg of oil-1 for peroxide, 30.72 g of I2 100 g of oil-1 for iodine. It concluded that the soybean grains of the municipalities of the Midwest region, regarding the physical and chemical quality of the grains, is within the quality standard according to the legislation and researched literature and the quality of the oil with the exception of iodine with values below the standard, is in the range that guarantees its quality.
The pequi has an almond with interesting chemical characteristics, such as considerable proportions of proteins and lipids that can be applied in several products aiming to use this agro-industrial residue. This research tookadvantage of the almond for the development of sweet paçoca with different concentrations of pequi almond, containing 0% (PA), 25% (P1), 50% (P2), 75% (P3), and 100% (P4) in place of peanuts. The paçocas were evaluated for proximate parameters and water activity, mineral content, color parameters, microbiological characteristics, and texture profile. The results for aw ranged from 0.48 to 0.52. In the proximate composition, it was observed that with the increase of the almond flour there was a difference in the ash, moisture, and protein contents. Due to the almond roasting process, the paçocas of pequi presented the darkest color. Pequi almond paçocas showed better protein value than peanut paçoca and higher levels of P and Mg. In addition, they present better elasticity, chewability, and cohesiveness.
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.
