Savory cereal bars made with seed, fruit peel, and fish meal

Abstract

Cereal bars are practical, popular, and represent a multicomponent food with market potential. This work aimed to develop tasty cereal bars with kabocha seeds (Cucurbita moschata), kabochapeels, pineapple peel (Ananassp.), and passion fruit peel (Passiflorasp.) with different levels of fishmeal, as nutritional enrichment. To this purpose, the fish meal was prepared with tilapia and salmon carcasses added to the basic ingredients of the bar. The fish concentrate levels used were 0% (control), 5%, 10% and 15%, amounting to four treatments, with five replications. The elaborated bars were analyzed for proximate compositional, sensory properties, and microbiological contamination. The resultsindicated high levels of protein (49.65%) and lipid (32.40%) for fishmeal. The inclusion of this concentrate in cereal bars interfered with their composition by increasing protein content and reducing the content of carbohydrates and caloric value. As forsensory properties, the average scores were around 6, which indicates that the panelists slightly liked the product. It can be concluded that the addition of up to 15% of tilapia fishmeal with salmon in savory cereal bars containing seed and fruit peel, improve their nutritional composition without adversely affecting their sensory quality.

Current and emerging trends in cereal snack bars: implications for new product development

“…In fact, a recent study explored the formulation of a savory CB, including seed, fruit peel, and fish meal. Addition of up to 15% fish meal was shown to be improve nutritional quality while still being sensory accepted by consumers (Matiucci et al 2020).…”

Fubá extrusado de milho enriquecido com concentrado proteico de tilápia

“…Durante o processamento do pescado, cerca de 50% a 70% da carcaça não é aproveitada e, esse subproduto, pode ter novas aplicações, (CORADINI et al, 2020), como por exemplo na inclusão de pães (CASETTA et al, 2022, SOUZA et al, 2021a, SOUZA et al, 2021b) barra de cereal (MATIUCCI et al, 2020a) patê (MATIUCCI et al,2020b) o que pode valorizar e agregar mais valor à FUBÁ EXTRUSADO DE MILHO ENRIQUECIDO COM CONCENTRADO PROTEICO DE TILÁPIA cadeia de produção. Um desses subprodutos são as carcaças, constituídas pelas espinhas que possuem resquícios do músculo, e que podem ser convertidas em CMS (carne mecanicamente separada).…”
