ABSTRACT
This study aimed to characterize and evaluate the in vitro bioactive properties of green banana pulp (GBPF), peel (GBPeF), and mixed pulp/peel flours M1 (90/10) and M2 (80/20). Lipid concentration was higher in GBPeF (7.53%), as were the levels of free and bound phenolics (577 and 653.1 mg GAE/100 g, respectively), whereas the resistant starch content was higher in GBPF (44.11%). Incorporating up to 20% GBPeF into the mixed flour had a minor effect on the starch pasting properties of GBPF. GBPeF featured rutin and trans-ferulic acid as the predominant free and bound phenolic compounds, respectively. GBPF presented different major free phenolics, though it had similar bound phenolics to GBPeF. Both M1 and M2 demonstrated a reduction in intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Consequently, this study validates the potential of green banana mixed flour, containing up to 20% GBPeF, for developing healthy foods and reducing post-harvest losses.

The objective of this work is to characterize two types of bovine collagen (fibre and powder), evaluating its application in mixed hamburger formulations, as well as the quality characteristics of the products. The collagen fibre had a fibrillar structure, molecular mass 100 kDa and greater gel strength (146 315 Pa) and protein content (97.81%) than the powdered collagen, which had molecular mass from 50 to 100 kDa, greater hydroxyproline content, and a morphological structure with spherical microparticles more amorphous than the collagen fibre. In this study we found that the addition of 1.5% powdered collagen and 2.5% flocculated soybean flour and/or 0.75% powdered collagen and 3.5% flocculated soybean flour did not deteriorate the technological properties or the sensory attributes of hamburgers. The use of collagen is a promising alternative, since it has functional properties, improves the texture characteristics of a product, and is of low cost.
ABSTRACT
After Nile tilapia skin was preserved using the methods of freezing and dry salting, characteristics of skin gelatin were evaluated with regard to yield, rheological features and physical and chemical properties. Preservation was performed after filleting, at which time skins were either frozen (-18C) for 7 days or salted (25ºC) for 7 days. Although no differences (p > 0.05) were observed with respect to humidity, protein, lipid, ash and calcium levels, gelatin from salted skins had a higher concentration of iron relative to frozen skins. Further, twenty-three fatty acids were detected in salted skins compared with merely three found in skin derived gelatin. Of amino acids found, glycine, alanine, proline and arginine were the most abundant. Hydroxyproline abundance in salted and frozen skin gelatin were 8.76% and 8.71%, respectively. In addition, salted skin gelatins had a greater accumulation of saturated fatty acids and lower rates of monounsaturated fatty acids. Salted skin gelatin had the highest yield (18g × 100g-1), gel strength (200 g) and viscosity (19.02mPas) when compared to the yield (17g × 100g-1), gel strength (12.7g) and viscosity (9.16 mPas) of frozen skins. Results show that gelatin from dry salted skin had the best yield and also had relatively better rheological properties, more iron, and better coloration relative to gelatin obtained from frozen skins of Nile tilapia.(AU)
O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar os métodos de conservação de peles de tilápia do Nilo (por congelamento e salga a seco) sobre o rendimento, propriedades reológicas e físico-químicas da gelatina obtida a partir destas peles. Para tanto, após a filetagem, peles de tilápia foram distribuídas em dois métodos de conservação: peles congeladas (-18C) por 7 dias e peles salgadas (25ºC) por 7 dias. Não foram observadas diferenças (P > 0,05) nos teores de umidade, proteína, lipídeos, cinzas e cálcio entre gelatinas; porém a gelatina de peles salgadas apresentou maior teor de ferro. Foram encontrados 23 ácidos graxos nas peles e apenas três nas gelatinas, sendo que gelatinas de peles salgadas apresentaram maior somatório de ácidos graxos saturados e menor de ácidos graxos monoinsaturados. Os aminoácidos encontrados em maiores proporções foram glicina, alanina, prolina e arginina, sendo que os valores de hidroxiprolina encontrados para a gelatina de pele salgada foi de 8,76 g × 100g-1 e na gelatina de peles congeladas, 8,71 g×100g-1. A gelatina de pele salgada apresentou maior rendimento (18 g × 100g-1), força de gel (200 g) e viscosidade (19,02mPas) em relação a gelatina de pele congelada (17 g × 100g-1, 12,7g e 9,16 mPas). Conclui-se que a gelatina extraída a partir de peles conservadas pela salga a seco apresentou melhor rendimento, melhoria nas propriedades reológicas, maior teor de ferro e melhor coloração, em relação a gelatina obtida de peles congeladas de tilápia do Nilo.(AU)
