Características físico-químicas e propriedades funcionais tecnológicas do baga?o de mirtilo fermentado e suas farinhas

摘要

The industrialization of fruit allows consumers to continue enjoying their functional benefits for longer, but most often these procedures produce industrial wastes that are not normally utilized. Therefore this study aimed to physicochemical characterization, determination of antioxidant activity, anthocyanins and polyphenols in blueberry pomace from the production of fermented beverages and flour obtained from this bagasse, as well as the functional properties of technological and microbiological stability of flour. Flours fruit and bagasse were obtained from the dehydration in an oven at 60 oC for 36 hours and ground into micro mill refrigerated at 4 oC. The physicochemical characteristics were observed from the analyzes of moisture, protein, lipid, ash, acidity, pH and soluble solids. The antioxidant activity was determined by DPPH and total polyphenols by the Folin-Ciocalteu. The results showed that both blueberry, as bagasse, have a high water content. The blueberry showed 61.67 mg/100g in anthocyanins, polyphenols in EAG/100g 431.43 mg and 3.83 mg/mL of antioxidant activity, while the bagasse obtained 57.32 mg/100g, 297.20 mg EAG/100g, 5.61 mg/mL, respectively. Flours showed microbiological stability during storage and functional properties of very good technology, enabling the creation of new products. Therefore the use of industrial waste has many advantages as add value and minimize environmental impact.
