Metodologias sensoriais descritivas mais rápidas e versáteis -uma atualidade na ciência sensorial Rapid and versatile sensory descriptive methods -an updating of sensory science ResumoOs métodos sensoriais descritivos permitem a detecção, a descrição e a quantificação dos atributos sensoriais presentes em um alimento. Estes métodos são utilizados pela indústria de alimentos no desenvolvimento de novos produtos, no controle de qualidade, nas alterações de ingredientes e/ou formulações e na avaliação de produtos durante a estocagem. Porém, a maioria das técnicas descritivas existentes necessita da utilização de avaliadores treinados e emprega uma escala não estruturada para avaliar os produtos. Isto torna as análises demoradas e com custo elevado, devido às exaustivas sessões de treinamento para que os problemas com o uso das escalas sejam minimizados. Com o intuito de reduzir o tempo de análise e os custos inerentes aos testes descritivos, pesquisas recentes têm buscado desenvolver metodologias que permitam a descrição rápida dos alimentos e que possam também ser aplicadas com consumidores. Este trabalho teve como objetivo abordar os progressos da ciência sensorial quanto ao desenvolvimento de novas metodologias descritivas mais rápidas e versáteis. Palavras-chave: AbstractSensory descriptive methods allow for the detection, description and quantification of the sensory attributes present in a food. These methods are used by the food industry to develop new products, for quality control, to change ingredients and/or formulations, and in food storage studies. However, most existing descriptive techniques require the use of trained assessors and rate using unstructured scales to evaluate the foods. This makes the analysis time longer and the analysis cost higher due to the extensive training sessions in order to minimize the problems caused by the use of the scales. In order to reduce the analysis time and costs inherent in the descriptive tests, recent research has aimed to develop methodologies that allow for the rapid description of foods and that can also be applied with consumers. The aim of this study was to consider the progress made in sensory science concerning the development of new faster and more versatile descriptive methodologies. Food Technol., v. 21, e2016179, 2018.

Gaseous ozonation, an emerging technology, is applied to microbiological decontamination and to the degradation of residues and contaminants in wheat grains. However, due to its high oxidizing capacity, ozone may cause undesirable effects on the quality of grains or in their derivatives. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of ozone gas on wheat grain quality when exposed to different levels of ozone concentration, exposure time, and grain mass, using a full 2 3 factorial design. After the milling of ozonized grains, two fractions were evaluated: flour (A) and bran plus germ (B). In fraction A, the quality of the wheat flour was analyzed by both alveography and farinography. The flour extraction rate, falling number and gluten contents were also measured. The chemical and mineral profiles were determined in both fractions. A sensory evaluation, using the difference-from-control test, was applied to investigate the possible differences in aroma or in overall appearance of the flour obtained from the ozonized grains. The results showed that ozone concentration (60 mg/L) positively affected (p < 0.05) the toughness and the falling number of the flour. The other parameters of alveography, as well as farinography, gluten content, chemical composition, mineral, and sensory profiles were not affected (p > 0.05) by ozonation. This study demonstrated that gaseous ozonation, when applied under the conditions of 10 to 60 mg/L, from 2 to 5 h of exposure, grain mass from 2 to 5 kg, does not cause any negative impact on the wheat quality.
On the present study a banana, strawberry and juçara smoothie was developed using an experimental mixture design. The juçara proportion was kept constant while the banana:strawberry ratio varied and the main responses were the sensory acceptability and the antioxidant capacity. From five formulations, only the one with the highest percentage of strawberry was rejected, most likely due to its lower sugar content and higher acidity. On general, panelists chose the sweeter formulations, which were those with a higher percentage of banana. Relating to the consistency, the best formulation was the one containing the same proportion of strawberry and banana pulp, which provided a better flow to the product. Additionally, this sample showed intermediate values of phenolic compounds and antioxidant capacity, as well as desirable physicochemical characteristics. On spite of being possible to obtain four formulations with good sensory acceptance, the one with equal amounts of banana and strawberry pulp is highlighted due to its antioxidant capacity and sensory characteristics, statistically corroborated by the desirability function.Keywords: anthocyanins; Euterpe edulis; mixture experimental design; functional food; juice.Practical Application: This study may contribute to increase the added-value of juçara fruit and the availability of a healthy product for consumers.
This study has the goal to establish the process for preparation of flour from the Tilapia MFM and assess their composition of minerals, amino acids and fatty acids and the mathematical models for representation of drying curves and the sorption isotherms. The drying of the MFM with or without salting as pre-treatment was conducted in a cabin, dryer temperatures of 40°C, 50°C and 60°C. The flour without pre-treatment obtained 50°C and 60°C resulted in better nutritional composition in terms of amino acids and EPA and DHA fatty acids. Showed high concentrations of minerals such as iron and phosphorus and can be considered sources of potassium and magnesium. The GAB model described better the sorption isotherms. The Tilapia MFM flour proved to be a viable alternative to adding value to the waste of these fish, resulting in nutritional product that could be destined for human consumption.
