Este estudo teve o objetivo de determinar a presença de ácido sórbico e seus sais em leites fermentados comercializados no Brasil, bem como quantificá-lo quando a amostra foi positiva. Vinte e seis amostras comerciais foram analisadas (n = 3), totalizando 78 amostras. As amostras foram divididas em dois grupos: amostras naturais (5) e com adição de ingredientes não lácteos (21). Um total de 61,53% amostras foram positivas para ácido sórbico e seus sais. Nestes, 3,85% eram de leites fermentados naturais, o que segundo o Codex Alimentarius e a legislação brasileira é caracterizado como fraude. Além disso, todas as amostras estavam fora da concentração máxima de sorbato de potássio de acordo com a legislação brasileira (0,3 g.kg-1) vigente, no entanto, estavam dentro dos parâmetros aceitáveis pelo Codex Alimentarius (1,0 g.kg-1). Podemos concluir que o ácido sórbico e seus sais foram detectados em leite fermentado natural e com ingredientes não lácteos.
Cachaça is a traditional Brazilian drink that has the potential to offer a new sensory and technological strategy for artisanal cheesemaking, particularly for small-scale producers and family farming. This study aimed to investigate the effects of cachaça immersion on the physicochemical, microbiological, color, texture, and sensory parameters of artisanal goat coalho cheeses using three different varieties of cachaça immersion. The results showed that cachaça immersion did not affect the cheese’s proximate composition or starter culture viability, indicating its suitability as a new method for artisanal cheese production. Additionally, gold cachaça aged in oak casks was the most effective variety for sensory acceptance and purchase intention, suggesting that it may be a valuable strategy for small-scale producers to add value and encourage the consumption of artisanal goat coalho cheeses without compromising their quality. Thus, this study provides important insights for small-scale producers and family farming to enhance their product offerings and increase their competitiveness in the market.
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.
