The resistant starch (RS) contents in 49 sorghum genotypes and the effects of heat treatment using dry and wet heat on the grain and flour from two sorghum genotypes were investigated. The results showed a wide variation in the RS contents of the genotypes analyzed. The RS mean values were grouped into six distinct groups and ranged from 0.31±0.33 g/100 g to 65.66±5.46 g/100 g sorghum flour on dry basis. Dry heat causes minor losses in the RS content with retentions of up to 97.19±1.92% of this compound, whereas wet heat retained at most 6.98±0.43% of the RS. The SC 59 and (SSN76)FC6608 RED KAFIR BAZINE (ASA N23) cultivars, which have an average RS content of 65.51 g/100 g, were appropriate for human consumption, and the use of dry heat is presented as a better alternative for the preservation of RS in heat-treated grains.
É sabido que a sociedade sempre impôs para a mulher que ela tinha a obrigação de ser subordinada ao homem e que seus afazeres deveriam ser exclusivamente designados a tarefas do lar. Devido a isso, a mulher ainda enfrenta diversas dificuldades para ingressar-se no mercado de trabalho, inclusive o gastronômico, uma vez que as pessoas ainda não aceitam que as mulheres possam ocupar um cargo que sempre foi dominado pelo gênero masculino. Deste modo, foi constatado por meio de entrevistas realizadas com homens e mulheres, que o machismo estrutural e o preconceito contra as mulheres ainda é o que mais as prejudica no momento de se inserirem em uma cozinha profissional.
The consumption of fruit in natura has been intensified in the last years as a result of changes in the food habits of consumers who attribute to fruit an important nutritional value. For the fruit in natura market, the visual aspect of the fruit is very important. Knowing consumers profile also helps fruit cooperatives and producers to adjust their offer to the specific needs and desires of the public. The objective of this study was to identify the criteria established by different groups of consumers for pineapple purchase using the focus group technique. Four focus group sessions were conducted with a total of 42 participants (5 nutritionists, 12 fruit and vegetable
