Resumo A utilização de matérias-primas funcionais vem crescendo nos últimos anos e tem como objetivo fornecer, além de nutrientes essenciais, compostos associados a efeitos benéficos à saúde. Dentre os ingredientes com alegações funcionais, a inulina tem sido considerada uma importante fibra alimentar. Além disso, o conhecimento e a utilização de Plantas Alimentícias Não Convencionais (PANCs) vêm recebendo destaque, valorizando a biodiversidade e a alimentação mais sustentável. Assim, o presente estudo teve como objetivo desenvolver sorvetes utilizando matérias-primas não convencionais, a planta ora-pro-nóbis e a inulina, a fim de produzir alimento funcional e inovador. Foram elaboradas duas formulações de sorvetes, que se diferenciaram apenas pela quantidade de inulina. Na Formulação 1 (F1), o sorvete de ora-pro-nóbis recebeu adição de 3% de inulina e, na Formulação 2 (F2), o sorvete de ora-pro-nóbis recebeu adição de 6% de inulina. Foram realizadas análises físico-químicas e de aminoácidos das folhas de ora-pro-nóbis. Posteriormente, foram conduzidas as análises microbiológicas, físico-químicas e sensoriais das formulações de sorvete. Os resultados foram comparados estatisticamente pelo método t-Student com nível de significância de (p˂0,05). O teor proteico das formulações foi elevado, 10,54 ± 2,20% para F1 e 12,13 ± 0,57% para F2. Não houve diferença significativa nos conteúdos de lipídios, cinzas, proteínas e fibra bruta entre as formulações. As amostras estão de acordo com os padrões microbiológicos estabelecidos pela legislação. Com relação à análise de incorporação de ar, a F2 apresentou valor superior (41,26 ± 0,13%) comparada à F1 (36,36 ± 0,17%). Além disso, a F2 apresentou menor taxa de derretimento (1,20 g/minuto) que a F1 (3,38 g/minuto). Os sorvetes apresentaram boa aceitação sensorial e podem servir como opção de consumo para as pessoas que procuram um produto saudável e com elevado teor de proteínas.

Abstract The use of functional raw materials has been growing in recent years, and it aims to provide, in addition to essential nutrients, compounds associated with beneficial health effects. Among the ingredients with functional claims, inulin has been considered an important dietary fiber. In addition, the knowledge and use of unconventional food plants (in Portuguese Plantas Alimentícias Não Convencionais (PANCs)) have been receiving prominence, thus valuing biodiversity and more sustainable food. This study aimed to develop ice cream using unconventional raw materials, i.e., the plant ora-pro-nóbis and inulin, in order to produce functional and innovative food. Two ice cream formulations were elaborated, which differed from each other only by the amount of inulin. In Formulation 1 (F1), ora-pro-nóbis ice cream received the addition of 3% inulin; and in Formulation 2 (F2), ora-pro-nóbis ice cream received the addition of 6% inulin. In addition, physicochemical and amino acid analyses of ora-pro-nóbis leaves were performed. Subsequently, microbiological, physicochemical and sensory analyses of ice cream formulations were conducted. The results were statistically compared by the t-Student method with significance level of (p < 0.05). The protein content of the formulations was high, 10.54 ± 2.20% for F1 and 12.13 ± 0.57% for F2. There was no significant difference in the contents of lipids, ash, proteins, and crude fiber between the formulations. The samples are in accordance with the microbiological standards established by legislation. Regarding the analysis of air incorporation, F2 had a higher value (41.26 ± 0.13%) compared to F1 (36.36 ± 0.17%). In addition, F2 had a lower melting rate (1.20 g/minute) than F1 (3.38 g/minute). It was concluded that ice cream had good sensory acceptance. The ice creams presented good sensory acceptance and they can be a consumer choice for people looking for a healthy product with high protein content.

Abstract The possibility of varying beer formulations is acquired by variations in beverage production and the usage of different ingredients such as wheat, rice, corn, rye, cassava, honey, fruits, and others. Consequently, this work aimed to develop artisanal beers adding rice flakes and soursop pulp as adjuncts. Four artisanal beer formulations were elaborated, evaluating the following parameters: °Brix, pH, density, alcohol content, total acidity, real extract, primitive extract, color and sensory acceptability. Results revealed that the samples were in accordance with the standards established by legislation. In the sensory analysis through the acceptance test, both pure malt beer and adjunct formulations exposed good acceptance in relation to the analyzed attributes. Regarding the beer formulations development, the results were satisfactory, ensuring quality artisanal beer varieties.
