This study aimed to develop a type of hamburger meat product and evaluate the physical features and sensory formulations of oatmeal flour, flour of green banana pulp, flour of green banana peel, flour of apple peel and pulp of Green Banana as fat substitutes. Regarding color, the formulations containing fat substitutes based on green banana presented lower values for b* and L*. Hamburgers with added oatmeal and apple peel flour obtained high values of a* and low values of L*, producing the reddest burgers. Substitutes based on green banana differed from others, resulting in a higher yield of burgers and water-holding capacity during cooking, besides having lower toughness and less shrinkage. The sensory acceptance test for untrained consumers suggests that the flour of peel and pulp of green banana, and oatmeal flour are excellent choices for fat-substitution in beef burger. Although fat contributes to a series of physical and sensory attributes such as softness, juiciness and yield, it is possible to reduce the lipid content in beef burgers without depreciating the quality of food through the use of the following fat substitutes: oat flour, apple peel flour, green banana pulp flour, green banana peel flour and green banana pulp.

The fish processing industry generates a large amount of materials discarded as residue. It is known that fish and its residue are a source of essential nutrients. Conversely, bread is a food accessible to different social classes but is deficient in protein, minerals, and fatty acids. Thus, this study aimed to develop bread products based on the addition of flour from Red-tailed Brycon (Brycon cephalus) processing residue and then evaluate the chemical and sensory qualities of the products. In relation to a standard bread formulation without fish flour, the addition of fish flour to bread formulations resulted in products with not only higher contents of protein, essential fatty acids, and minerals, especially calcium and phosphorus, but also lower contents of carbohydrates. The breads with fish flour received sensory acceptance better than or as good as that of a bread formulation without fish flour. Hence, the addition of fish processing residue to breads is a way to provide essential nutrients to the population through a well-accepted, accessible, and low-cost product.

The objective was to evaluate the use of ractopamine (RAC) in the diet for pacu (Piaractus mesopotaminus) in the finishing phase on some quality parameters of the fillets. Thirty-five animals weighing 0.868±0.168kg were distributed in a completely randomised design with five treatments (0.0 -control; 11.25, 22.50, 33.75 and 45 ppm of RAC) and seven replicates with two fillets obtained from the same animal. The diets were isocaloric and isoprotein and experimental time was 90 days. RAC did not affect (P>0.05) the initial pH or ph after 24 hours of the fillets. Compared to the control, RAC increased (P<0.05) the moisture content of the fillets in natura and lipid oxidation of samples stored for 12 days in the refrigerator or freezer for 60 days. The RAC in 11.25 ppm reduced (P<0.05) the lipid content, while 45 ppm reduced (P<0.05) the crude protein in the fillets. Considering only RAC, there was a linear increase (P<0.05) in the lipid content (P<0.05) and a linear reduction in crude protein and weight loss after cooking the fillets. There was a quadratic effect (P<0.05) on the ash content, weight loss and lipid oxidation in fillets stored in the refrigerator or freezer. A RAC dose of 33.75 ppm resulted in a lower lipid oxidation index. In conclusion, ractopamine at 11.25 ppm is effective for reducing the fat content in fillets of pacu, although it increases the formation of peroxides in samples kept in the freezer for longer than 60 days. At 33.75 ppm, ractopamine is effective in reducing the effect of oxidation during storage in the refrigerator or freezer.Keywords: fish, lipid oxidation, animal production, fillet quality (0,0 -controle; 11,25; 22,50; 33,75 RESUMO O objetivo foi avaliar a influência do uso de ractopamina na alimentação de pacus (Piaractus mesopotaminus) na fase de terminação sobre alguns parâmetros de qualidade dos filés. Trinta e cinco animais com peso de 0,868±0,168kg foram distribuídos em delineamento inteiramente ao acaso com cinco tratamentos

The following treatments were tested: T1-basal ration; T2-stove pre-dried coffe residue ration; T3-ration with residue from coffee maintained under aerobic conditions added serum of milk and nolasses; T4-ration with acid ensilage of residue from coffee with formic acid; T7-ration with ensilage of residue from coffee with serum of milk. Those residues replaced 30% of the basal ration. The physical form of the ration was pelleted. The treatment T5 resulted in greater weight gain and feed consumption and lesser feed conversion. The treatments T1 and T2 did not defer between itself presenting close values to the T5. The treatments T6 and T7 presented lesser weight gain and ration consumption and greater feed conversion. INTRODUÇÃOAtualmente o Brasil é o maior produtor mundial de grãos de café. Os principais resíduos da cultura são a polpa, a casca, a mucilagem e a água residual. A utilização de resíduos do café tem sido visto nos paises produtores como uma prioridade, tanto por razões ecológicas como por razões ADDITIONAL KEYWORDS Ration. Digestibility. Performance. Chemical composition. Oreochromis niloticus. RESUMOO trabalho propôs avaliar formas de inclusão de resíduos de café na ração para alimentação de tilápia do Nilo. Foram realizados três ensaios: 1-composição química das rações; 2-digestibilidade das rações e 3-desempenho de tilápias recebendo as rações contendo diferentes formas de inclusão dos resíduos de café. Foram testados os seguintes tratamentos: T1-ração referência; T2-ração com resíduo de café pré-seco em estufa; T3-ração com resíduo de café mantido em condições aeróbicas acrescido de soro de leite e melaço; T4-ração com silagem ácida de resíduo de café com ácido fórmico; T5-ração com silagem de resíduo de café com soro de leite. Esses resíduos substituíram 30% da ração referência, sendo as rações posteriormente peletizadas. O tratamento T5 foi o que resultou em maior ganho de peso e consumo de ração. Os tratamentos T1 e T2 não diferiram entre si, apresentando valores próximos ao T5. Os tratamentos T6 e T7 apresentaram menor ganho de peso e consumo de ração e ainda maior conversão alimentar. SUMMARYThis work evaluated different ways to include residues from coffee in Nile tilapia ration. Three assays were conducted: 1-rations chemical

This work evaluates fresh-cut carrots (FCC) coated with montmorillonite (MMT) subjected to passive modified atmosphere packaging. Carrots were sanitized, cooled, peeled and sliced. Half of the FCC were coated with MMT nanoparticle film and the other half were not. All FCCs were packed in a polypropylene rigid tray, covered with a polypropylene rigid lid or sealed with polyethylene + propylene film, in four treatments (RL, rigid lid; RLC, rigid lid + coating; ST, sealed tray; STC, sealed tray + coating). FCCs were stored at 4 °C and were analyzed weekly for 4 weeks (total antioxidant activity by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl hydrazyl method and the β-carotene/linoleic acid, phenolic compounds, organic acids and volatile compounds). The use of coating film with starch nanoparticles and a modified atmosphere leads to the preservation of the total antioxidant activity, the volatile and organic acids of FCC.
