The effect of thermal processing and the berry cultivar has been the subject of several studies, to serve as a basis for the least possible loss of bioactive compounds and antioxidant capacity. In Brazil, there are numerous blackberry cultivars under cultivation, and in this context, the aim of this work was to study how the bioactive compound contents and antioxidant capacity of blackberry jelly were influenced by the cultivars (Guarani, Brazos, Comanche, Tupy, Cherokee, Caingangue and Choctaw). Analysis was made of 7 fresh blackberry cultivars and 7 blackberry jelly formulations. Analysis of antioxidant activity, total phenolics, total anthocyanins and ascorbic acid was performed. It was verified that the contribution of the heat sensitive antioxidants compounds is considerable in all blackberry cultivars, and the degradation of these compounds was significantly different between the different blackberry cultivars. The Brazos and Caingangue cultivars stand out as undergoing the lowest losses in processing, resulting in jellies richer in bioactive compounds and higher antioxidant capacity.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the effect of the bodying agents (erythritol, sorbitol, xylitol and polydextrose) and their mixtures on the preparation of mixed Brazilian Cerrado fruit preserves (marolo, soursop and sweet passion fruit). Design/methodology/approach: The simplex mixture design was used for product optimization and the preserves evaluated by physical, physicochemical and sensory properties. The research data were analyzed using regression equations on SAS University and exploratory analysis by principal component analysis and parallel factors techniques on Sensomaker software. Findings: The results show that erythritol and polydextrose bodying agents should not be used as pure components because they provoked changes in the properties of the final product and negatively influenced the sensory attributes. While the high concentrations of xylitol and sorbitol provided better sensorial acceptance, being considered, therefore, good substitutes for sucrose. Practical implications: This research has shown it is feasible to use bodying agents in the preparation of mixed Brazilian Cerrado fruit preserves without added sugar. Social implications: The development of mixed preserves could increase population access to the Brazilian Cerrado fruits. In addition, sugar-free preserves are a viable alternative for adding value to the product and satisfy all the consumers. Originality/value: The combination of properties of two or more fruits and use of bodying agents can improve sensory, physical and physicochemical characteristics of the final product. However, there are technological challenges to evaluate in the preparation of mixed Brazilian Cerrado fruit preserves without added sugar.
Rheological behavior of functional sugar-free guava preserves : effect of the addition of salts.

The addition of salts to carrageenan and locust bean gum gels functions to improve the characteristics of texture, thereby increasing gel strength. This effect is widely studied in gels of model systems but is studied to a lesser extent in complex systems, such as fruit preserves. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of adding salts on the rheological behavior of functional sugar-free guava preserves, as well as to correlate the rheological parameters. To this end, three types of texture properties were analyzed (texture profile, stress relaxation and uniaxial compression) in functional sugar-free guava preserves prepared with different concentrations of KCl and CaCl2 salt. The analyses were performed with a texturometer (Stable Micro Systems, Model TA - XT2i), and the parameters were analyzed using a Scott-Knott test at 5% probability, principal components analysis and Pearson correlation. CaCl2 was more effective for improving the characteristics of texture, especially gel strength (concentration near the F3: 0.33%), whereas KCl addition degraded gel strength. In the analysis of test relaxation, the Maxwell model parameters provided better discrimination between samples than the Peleg model parameters. Positive and negative correlations were observed, and the parameters of hardness, adhesiveness and elastic modulus ideal (E1) were the most correlated with other rheological parameters.
