“…Co-crystallized particles were prepared as described by , with modifications. Briefly, commercial refined sugar (800 g) and distilled water (240 g) were preheated in a stainless steel pan (atmospheric conditions) to 119 °C, and then transferred to a thermostatic bath containing thermal oil to control the temperature accurately ( Figure 1) (Silva et al, 2016). The syrup reached the final temperature of 124 °C, ranging from 0.5-1.0 °C/min, corresponding to a supersaturation ratio (S) of 1.32, where S = C/C 0 , C being the concentration of sucrose in the solution (g sucrose/100 g solution) and C 0 the saturation concentration of the sugar at approximately the same temperature (Hartel, 2001).…”

Paprika oleoresin was co-crystallized to formulate a natural and hydrophilic dye for use in food applications. The color stabilities of the co-crystallized and free oleoresins were evaluated at different temperatures (25 and 35 °C, 70% RH) and light exposures (light 70 watts and dark, 25 °C, 70% RH). Co-crystallization from supersaturated sucrose syrup (S = 1.32) was found to be optimum for the formation of sugar agglomerates in a few minutes, with the paprika oleoresin entrapped inside. With time, decreases in the values of the a* parameter and the β-carotene content were observed with increasing temperature and with the incidence of light. The color degradation kinetics were dependent on both factors. The loss of color was greater for the free oleoresin as compared to the co-crystallized, suggesting that the co-crystallization process improves oleoresin retention in the sugar matrix, making it less susceptible to losses due to color degradation.Practical Applications: Co-crystallization process was used to encapsulate paprika oleoresin in sucrose matrix having natural color as the main technological feature of the product and developing an ingredient with good properties for application in sugar products. This approach created an ingredient with a hydrophobic compound incorporated in a hydrophilic matrix. Ot is an alternative process to handle and entrap a range of ingredients, aiming to improve the stability of the encapsulated material. β-carotene had good storage stability and degradation kinetics provided information to determine best storage conditions.

“…() (0.45–0.60). The increased a w values after NASC storage probably happened because of a crystallisation process (Ergun et al ., ), in which a decrease in the concentration of dissolved solids from the liquid phase occurs (Silva et al ., ). The NASC presented intermediate results of hardness (90.50–101.45 N for NASC‐FD and 127.08–156.70 N for NASC‐FZ and NASC‐SD) in comparison with sugared chewy candies containing 5% (50.14 N) and 10% (192.11 N) of spray‐dried strawberry (Fadini et al ., ).…”

Summary This study investigated the effects of processing and storage on the physicochemical properties and retention of antioxidant compounds of no‐added sucrose chewy candies (NASC) incorporated with differently processed açai (frozen pulp, spray‐dried and freeze‐dried powders). NASC containing freeze‐dried açai had the highest softness and recoveries of total phenolic (TP) and total anthocyanin (TA) immediately after production. Colour parameters and antioxidant capacity by ABTS and ORAC assays had no significant differences after 6 months of NASC storage, except for ORAC in NASC containing spray‐dried açai, whereas DPPH• in all samples significantly increased. Water activity and hardness also increased after storage, whereas TP and TA contents decreased, despite presenting good retentions (approx. 72–78% TP and 84–99% TA). This study suggests that açai has a great potential to be used as a natural pigment and antioxidant source in candy manufacturing, meeting consumption trends towards healthier products.

Superfood and Functional Food - An Overview of Their Processing and Utilization

This chapter reviews two oleaginous fruits that are widely consumed by people in the Amazon region: Bacaba (Oenocarpus bacaba) and Açaí (Euterpe oleracea). Besides their food and the folk medicinal uses, studies suggest that substances present in both berries have antioxidative effects, antimicrobial, and therapeutic properties such as hypocholesterolemic and neuroprotection effects. These therapeutic effects are related to phenolic compounds, anthocyanins, and fatty acids, which can prevent serious problems such as coronary heart disease, hypertension, and depression. The use of supercritical fluid technology is described as a technique to obtain the best extracts of bacaba and açaí, as well as their valuable constituents. Indubitably, this technology is a great tool for human health and all with the advantage of presenting nontoxic solvents such as carbon dioxide or water. Açaí and bacaba fruits represent not only food but also a source of compounds that can work in both prevention and treatment of diseases.
