RESUMOA mucilagem do inhame desempenha papel de interesse na indústria de alimentos em razão das suas propriedades como espessante, estabilizante e emulsificante. Neste estudo, objetivou-se caracterizar a mucilagem liofilizada do inhame por meio de análises físicas, químicas e reológicas. Foram determinados a composição centesimal, valor calórico, pH, acidez, sais minerais, vitamina C, açúcares totais, polifenóis, pectinametilesterase, poligalacturonase, termogravimétrica, análise térmica diferencial, calorimetria diferencial de varredura, espectroscopia infravermelho e viscosidade aparente. A mucilagem de inhame liofilizada apresentou elevados teores de proteína bruta e fibra alimentar e baixos teores de fração glicídica e de valor calórico. Quanto à análise termogravimétrica a mucilagem de inhame demonstrou maior perda de massa cerca de 60% à temperatura média de 200º C, o que inviabiliza o seu uso acima desta temperatura. Termos para indexação:Composição centesimal, reologia, termogravimétrica, fibra alimentar. ABSTRACTThe mucilage of yam is of interest in the food industry due to its properties as a thickener, stabilizer and emulsifier. The aim of this study was to characterize the freeze-dried mucilage of yam through physical analysis, chemical and rheological properties. The study measured the proximate composition, caloric value, pH, acidity, minerals, vitamin C, sugars, polyphenols, pectin methylesterase, polygalacturonase, thermogravimetric, differential thermal analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, infrared spectroscopy and viscosity. The lyophilized yam mucilage showed high levels of crude protein and dietary fiber content and low fraction of glucose and calories. A thermogravimetric analysis mucilage of the yam showed a higher weight loss (about 60%) at an average temperature of 200º C, thus precluding their use above this temperature.

RESUMOO total de 20 carcaças resfriadas (10 Marrecos Pequim Branco e 10 de frangos de corte) foi submetido às análises de composição centesimal, colesterol, cor (sistema CIE L * a * b * ), perda de peso por cozimento (PPC) e força de cisalhamento (FC) ABSTRACTTwenty refrigerated carcasses (10 Peking mallard and 10 broiler chicken) were submitted to analyses of chemical composition, cholesterol, colour (CIE L*a*b* system), weight loss by cooking (PPC) and shear force (FC). Mallard meat had lower (P<0.05) humidity in both leg and breast (71.77 and 74.53%, respectively) when compared with chicken meat (74.73 and 76.07%, respectively). When different cuts were compared, the breast had a higher (P<0.05) humidity and protein content than the leg in both species. Mallard leg and breast had lower (P<0.05) lightness (37.59 and 35.75, respectively) and higher red content (18.48 and 20.67, respectively), than the lightness (40.98 and 45.18, respectively) and red content (10.02 and 5.52, respectively) observed in chicken. The FC was higher (P<0.05) in mallard breast (4.90 kgf) than in chicken breast (2.63 kgf). Meat from White Peking mallard is darker and with a stronger red pigment than meat from broiler chicken. Even though it is less tender than meat from broiler chicken, mallard meat still has an acceptable tenderness.
