Canning of juvenile tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) was carried out using "tucupi" cover dressing (regional sauce) and the acceptability of the preserve was tested. Cans were thermally processed at 121°C for 20 mins, 25 mins and 30 mins. The "in natura" centesimal composition and the products were determined according to A.O.A.C, commercial sterility and microbiological quality was verified and the Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA was used to evaluate the results of the study. Cans with heat treatment of 121°C for 30 mins showed better bone decalcification and its centesimal composition was 71.29% of humidity; 20.98% protein; 5.87% lipids; 1.75% ash and TCV (Total Caloric Value) of 138 Kcal EB.100 g -1 . All canned tambaqui fish had an acceptance index above 95% and intention to buy above 5 (would eat frequently). The "tucupi" sauce was approved by 100% of the evaluators and its use for canning has the advantage of the great availability of the raw material (wild cassava), resulting in a low production cost and a new type of product offering to the consumers.
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.
