RESUMEN
The effects of adding cochineal carmine and annatto dyes in five mortadella formulations made with curcumin microcrystals were compared, and the preference was evaluated and described sensorially. Based on the optimized formulation obtained with color parameters, two formulations were elaborated: curcumin microcrystals and cochineal carmine were added. During 60 days, pH, objective color, water retention capacity, lipid oxidation, and texture profile analyses were performed. The results demonstrate the possibility of excluding sodium erythorbate from formulations containing curcumin microcrystals. There was no significant difference in lipid oxidation between the samples, presenting at the end of 60 days a value of 0.11 mg and 0.10 mg of MDA kg-1 for the two samples, respectively. There were also no significant differences between the two samples or the evaluated storage times, and the average values obtained for pH, WRC, objective color, and TPA were expected for this type of cooked meat sausage. In the presence of curcumin microcrystals, the synthetic antioxidant, sodium erythorbate, can be eliminated from the formulations, as it does not affect the physical-chemical parameters studied, such as pH, water retention capacity, color objective, and texture profile.
RESUMEN
The antioxidant effect of purified phytic acid (PPA) from rice bran (rice polishing by-product) combined with sodium erythorbate (SE) was evaluated for the first time in mortadella (added with 60% mechanically separated meat), a cured product with high-fat content and highly prone to oxidation, characteristic in Brazil. PPA proved effective compared to standard analytical grade phytic acid (SPA). Two central composite rotational designs (CCRD) (A and B) were employed to investigate the influence of PPA and SE, and SPA and SE, respectively, on mortadella lipid oxidation evaluated by TBARS after 30 days at 30 °C. Due to the high phytic acid's potent antioxidant capacity, the combination of PPA and SE synergistically reduced mortadella lipid oxidation. Furthermore, PPA from rice bran effectively controlled lipid oxidation in mortadella when combined with SE in the range of 5.0 to 9.0 mmol/kg of SPA and 25.0 to 50.0 mmol/kg of SE.

In the present study, a film based on the gelatin skin of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) was developed, using surfactants and adding plant extract of pitomba seed (Talisia esculenta). The aim was to investigate the mechanical and barrier properties of the cover, as well as its effectiveness in conserving papayas against diseases caused by fungi. The film presented tensile strength of 38.78 MPa, elongation of 120.49%, and water vapor permeability of 5.90 g.mm.h-1.m2.kPa-1 when equally composed of SDS and Tween 80, in a percentage of 40% in relation to the total mass of the film. The films lasted 12 d in an environment with a relative humidity of 75% (25 ºC), longer than the shelf life of papaya (limited to 8 d). With applying the film with the extract, the incidence of diseases such as anthracnose, fusariosis, and stem rot caused by these microorganisms in papaya was reduced.

There have been several efforts to minimize the effects caused by the COVID-19 virus around the world. Vaccines were developed in record time and alternative therapies were studied and applied in several countries, such as the use of plasma from recovered patients. Identifying, systematically evaluating and summarizing the best available scientific evidence on the efficacy and safety of using plasma from recovered COVID-19 patients remains the objective of this study. The studies carried out showed that the application of convalescent plasma contributes to the reduction of mortality, viral load and length of hospital stay. However, the effectiveness of the therapy still raises doubts due to the number of patients evaluated in clinical studies, in addition to its high cost and limitations in terms of availability and implementation, with the drug being authorized only for hospital use.

This research was to compare mortadella elaborated with synthetic antioxidant and microcrystals of curcumin in relation to its physicochemical and sensorial characteristics for a period of 90â¯days. It was detect no differences between the three evaluated treatments in relation to the pH, color, and texture profile features. The mortadella with curcumin microcrystals showed significantly lower TBARS values at the end of the storage when compared to the other treatments. In the sensory analysis, the addition of curcumin decreased the acceptance of color's sample and the purchase intention, but no significant difference was observed among the other attributes. The color of the sample containing curcumin also became worse than its day-of-production standard during storage. The results obtained suggest the potential of curcumin in replacing synthetic antioxidants in cooked meat sausage, since it practically does not modify its physicochemical characteristics, besides preventing the oxidation of the food.

Avaliou-se durante 90 dias o pH, a cor, a capacidade de retenção de água (CRA), a textura e a oxidação lipídica, de uma formulação de mortadela otimizada por meio de um delineamento experimental de mistura para dois componentes. Desenvolveram-se duas amostras da formulação de mortadela otimizada, com antioxidante (OA) e sem antioxidante (OS). Os valores de pH e CRA não apresentaram diferenças significativas ao final dos 90 dias entre as amostras, OA (6,02 e 94,05 g/100g) e OS (6,07 e 93,25 g/100g). Na cor houve diferenças significativas. Na textura, apenas a dureza, mastigabilidade e coesividade apresentaram diferenças significativas. E aos 90 dias as amostras com (2,10 mg de MDA/Kg) e sem antioxidante (2,59 mg de MDA/Kg) não apresentaram diferenças significativas para oxidação lipídica e podem ser considerados aceitáveis para produtos cárneos.

Dois lombos defumados com carne de javali e carne suína foram desenvolvidos e avaliados comparativamente em suas características físico-químicas e sensoriais. O lombo de javali apresentou um valor de pH mais acentuado do que do suíno e também uma menor perda de peso. Em relação à cor, as amostras de javali apresentaram um valor de luminosidade maior do que as de suíno, o que se justificou devido ao maior teor de umidade encontrado nas amostras de javali. A umidade também influenciou no perfil de textura e as amostras de javali tiveram uma menor dureza e firmeza, e maior mastigabilidade. Na avaliação sensorial, as amostras de lombo suíno foram ligeiramente melhores em todos os atributos estudados do que as de javali. No teste de aceitação, o lombo suíno apresentou nota média um pouco acima do que o javali. Os julgadores demonstraram aceitação similar aos produtos e os resultados indicaram que a obtenção de um novo produto requer algumas modificações em sua fabricação e hábitos diferentes do consumidor.

Foi extraída gelatina de pele de Tilápia-do-Nilo para substituição total ou parcial do toucinho de mortadela, produto cárneo emulsionado popular e muito consumido. Nas análises realizadas, a gelatina obtida apresentou rendimento razoável (6,2%), alto conteúdo proteico (85,6%), percentual de umidade de 7,25%, teor de lipídeos de 4,18% e teor de cinzas de 2,1%, parâmetros coerentes se comparados a estudos presentes na literatura. Desta forma, foi possível concluir que a extração de gelatina a partir da pele de tilápia é uma boa alternativa à gelatina comum. Os resultados sensoriais e o índice de aceitabilidade demonstraram que a redução de gordura nas formulações de mortadela resultou em um produto viável sensorialmente e tecnologicamente, permitindo uma redução na concentração de gordura do produto em relação ao produto convencional.
