Síntese e secagem de suco de frutas tropicais e exóticas contendo oligossacarídeos: estudo do cajá, siriguela e jambo

Abstract

The aim of this work was produce yellow mombin, red mombin and malay apple juices with prebiotics oligosaccharides and, after, subject to spray drying process. The juices were analyzed and it was applied a factorial planning to purpose the better synthesis conditions. The juices were prepared and corrected its sugar concentration, and aftrer it was added the dextran-sucrase enzyme. The synthesis was realized for 4 hours. The enzyme was inactivated for pH decreasing until the juice original pH. A part of the juice was subjected to microbiologic stability and the other part was subject to spray drying, using maltodextrin like dryer adjuvant. The powder of the prebiotic juices synthesized was characterized by moisture, water activity, higroscopicity, water reconstitution, color and caking degree. Vitamin C and antioxidants was analyzed. The oligosaccharides resistance of acid and enzymatic hydrolysis was analyzed, as well as the bifidobacterium growth. In general the physico-chemistry results were good, like low moistures, higroscopicity and water activity, short time of water reconstitution, meanwhile the yellow mombin end malay apple juices showed high caking degree. It wasn’t find coliforms, but molds and yeasts were high. The vitamin C decreased during the synthesis, and the drying process interfered with antioxidant power. The prebiotics oligosaccharides obtained were resistant to acidity and the digestive enzymes, enabling the benefic bacterial multiplication.
