Avaliação sensorial e influência do tratamento térmico no teor de ácido ascórbico de sorvete de pimenta

In this work were prepared with three ice cream added peppers of different varieties: Capsicum baccatum, Capsicum annuum and Capsicum frutescens. The peppers were first pasteurized and evaluated in relation to the effect of heat treatment on the ascorbic acid content. Results showed that the Capsicum annuum showed higher ascorbic acid content, but the heat treatment resulted in greater loss of biocompounds. The higher retention of ascorbic acid was observed with Capsicum frutescens, which presented lower content of biocompound, but near of the pepper Capsicum annuum. The follow attributes was performed to evaluate the acceptance of ice cream through the sensory attributes: color, aroma, flavor and texture. Analysis of variance showed no significant difference between ice cream formulations at the 5% level of significance with regard to color, aroma and texture. Regarding taste, the samples differed significantly, at 5% significance, and the most preferred was the ice cream made with pepper Capsicum frutescens.

Algas verdes coloniais em riachos de Unidades de Conservação do Sul do Brasil: taxonomia e aspectos ecológicos

Species of colonial green algae from 10 Conservation Units from the Southern Brazil were surveyed. The samplings were carried out in 105 stream reaches, consisting of 10 m length transects. In addition to biological data, some environmental variables were measured: depth, current velocity, water temperature, turbidity, specific conductance, pH, dissolved oxygen and nutrients (total nitrogen and orthophosphate). Three species of colonial green algae [Bohlin Ecballocystis pulvinata var. pulvinata, Tetraspora gelatinosa (Vaucher) Desvaux and T. lubrica (Roth) C Agard] were recorded and these species were described and illustrated. Based on the environmental data, it was observed some patterns of ecological distribution, including the occurrence of E. pulvinata var. pulvinata in environments with higher water temperature and current velocity values, while Tetraspora species typically occurred in environments with lower total nitrogen, orthophosphate and specific conductance values.

Desenvolvimento e avaliação físico-química, sensorial e da estabilidade de ácido ascórbico de doce de leite com pimenta

The dulce de leche or milk candy is a food widely consumed in Brazil, which shows typical characteristics of taste, color, flavor and texture. The lady-finger red pepper is regularly present on the Brazilian people table as this product contains a pungent flavor favoring various spices; and it is also rich in ascorbic acid (vitamin C) which is an excellent antioxidant. This study aimed at developing a dulce de leche containing lady-finger red pepper, and to determine the composition of the product. Also, the ascorbic acid contents were quantified in products stored for different periods (0, 30 and 60 days). The product acceptance by consumers on the sensory characteristics was evaluated by means of hedonic scale for color, aroma, flavor and texture attributes. The composition of the product was in accordance with the legislation in force, and the ascorbic acid contents were practically stable during the storage, and the sensory analyses indicated that the red pepper-containing dulce de leche was well accepted.

Museus ferroviários do Estado de Sao Paulo (Brasil): as políticas de conservação e o estado atual do patrimônio ferroviário brasileiro

This paper is to discuss the expansion and partly dismantlement of Brazilian merchant marine, tracking their legal, administrative and planning. The analysis period extends from the formation of the Comissão da Marinha Mercante, 1941, to the end of the government of Fernando Henrique Cardoso, 2002. In this long duration it is discussed the formation of the national system of economy and the dynamics of contradictory national merchant navy. The text is divided into two parts: 1) Expansion: The centralization, the planning and nationalization with the formation of the shipbuilding industry, highlighting the actions of the Comissão da Marinha Mercante and the Superintendência Nacional da Marinha Mercante, planning and financing the national navigation; 2) Demolition part: the denationalization and privatization of the national navigation, in addition to the deep restructuring of the shipbuilding industry, highlighting the creation of the Agência Nacional de Transporte Aquaviários during the last years of Fernando Henrique Cardoso government.

Indicadores de sustentabilidade para conservação genética de Erythrina velutina Willd., em área de mata ciliar

One of the greatest challenges for the agricultural system is to establish agricultural production combined with the conservation of genetic resources, mainly aiming to protect the Permanent Preservation Areas. In this context, mulungu ( Erythrina velutina Willd), among other native species, has been suffering with anthropogenic pressures in various ecosystems, causing reductions in its genetic basis. This work aims to identify ecological and genetic population parameters as indicators of sustainability in two natural populations of mulungu, located in riparian forest, in the state of Sergipe, and to assess the tendency to their sustainability, aiming genetic conservation of the species. The matrix of Pressure-State-Impact/Effect-Response (PEI/ER) was used with the selection of 13 indicators, from the use of RAPDmolecular markers and biochemical (enzymes) markers in populations, in order to present them as relevant information to measure progress as for sustainability and conservation ofmulungu. The studied populations presented low tendency to sustainability, requiring strategies to change this status.

Radiação gama na conservação de caqui 'Giombo', destanizado e frigoarmazenado

O caqui apresenta uma safra curta, sendo necessário estender seu período de comercialização utilizando técnicas adequadas de armazenamento. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o uso da radiação gama na qualidade pós-colheita de caquis 'Giombo' destanizados. Frutos colhidos meio-maduros e com aproximadamente 50 % da coloração verde, foram destanizados, acondicionados em bandejas de poliestireno expandido (EPS), revestidas por filme plástico de polietileno de baixa densidade (PEBD) e submetidos à radiação gama (60Co). Os frutos foram armazenados durante 35 dias, sob refrigeração (0±0,5 ºC e 85 ± 0,5% UR). Os tratamentos realizados foram: T1 - 0,0 kGy; T2 - 0,3 kGy; T3 - 0,6 kGy; T4 - 0,9 kGy; T5 - 1,2 kGy. As análises realizadas a cada 7 dias foram: perda de massa, atividade respiratória, teores de sólidos solúveis (SS), ácido ascórbico, acidez titulável (AT) e relação SS/AT. Os frutos submetidos à dose de 0,6 kGy apresentaram o menor percentual de perda de massa e produção de CO2 ao longo do período experimental. Os teores de SS e AT permaneceram estáveis e sem diferenças devido às doses de irradiação aplicadas. Os tratamentos com 0,3 KGy e 0,6 KGy foram os mais eficazes na manutenção da firmeza nos caquis. Nos teores de ácido ascórbico, observou-se redução ao longo do período experimental, sendo os menores valores apresentados para a maior dose de irradiação (1,2 KGy).
