The objective of this study was to investigate the combined effects of different types of wheat flour (whole or white) with natural yogurt, pineapple juice, and beer wort for sourdough production to improve the technological characteristics of milk breads. Seven milk breads were prepared with varying yeast fermentation and sourdough types (produced with different types of wheat flour and substrates). A physical analysis (oven jump, bread shape, crust thickness, expansion coefficient, and images of the slices), proximal composition examination (moisture, carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and ash), and acceptability and purchase intent evaluation were then performed. The results showed that the factors under study influenced the technological characteristics of the milk breads, and that the sourdough consisting of whole wheat flour and yogurt was less acceptable. However, sourdough prepared using white wheat flour and beer wort was the most effective, being a promising alternative in the elaboration of milk breads.

(2022) Santos, Janaína Gomes dos; Ávila, Poliana Martins de; Schimitberger, Rodrigo; Cunha, Luciana Rodrigues da; Gomes, Raphael Antônio Borges; Vieira, Michele Cristina; Monteiro, Reginaldo de Souza; Vieira, Silvia Mendonça; Pereira, Patrícia Aparecida Pimenta
Sourdough is a process that is expanding nowadays. However, the microorganisms present produce metabolites that can cause changes in the breads. Thus, the objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of substrates and types of wheat flour on microbiological characteristics, pH values, total phenolic compounds, antioxidant capacity and fermentative capacity of different types of sourdough, comparing them with dry yeast. In this way, six sourdough were elaborated, diversifying the type of wheat flour (whole or white) and the substrate (beer wort, pineapple juice or natural yogurt), being evaluated in the microbiological aspects (yeast count, bacteria under anaerobic conditions and under aerobic conditions), physicochemical (pH, phenolic compounds and antioxidant capacity (β-carotene/linoleic acid, ABTS and DPPH)) and fermentative capacity (only in sourdough). In view of the results obtained, it was observed that both white wheat flour and whole wheat flour, with the substrates yogurt, pineapple juice and brewer's wort, showed differences in microbiological characteristics, in pH values, in the content of compounds total phenolics, antioxidant capacity and fermentative capacity compared to dry yeast, with whole wheat flour, pineapple or beer wort providing microbial diversity, as well as lowering the pH. WY (white wheat flour and yogurt), WP (white wheat flour and pineapple) and IW (whole wheat flour and beer wort) sourdough were more resistant to temperatures (25 °C, 30 °C e 35 °C).
Análise de características físicas e sensoriais de bolos de abacaxi com substituição e/ou redução de sacarose.
(2021) Mendes, Elaine Cristina; Mota, Bruna Eugênia Ferreira; Vasconcelos, Christiane Mileib; Pereira, Patrícia Aparecida Pimenta; Cunha, Simone de Fátima Viana da
A sacarose é um importante contribuinte para o valor calórico total de um alimento, além de ser um nutriente muito relevante para algumas patologias, como diabetes mellitus. Esse estudo objetivou reformular uma preparação de bolo de abacaxi, reduzindo e/ou substituindo o teor de açúcar. Uma receita de bolo de abacaxi foi escolhida, padronizada e receitas com modificações foram confeccionadas. Elaborou-se 8 formulações, sendo: B1-Padrão; B2-Padrão com redução de 50 % de açúcar cristal; B3-Açúcar mascavo; B4-Açúcar mascavo com redução de 50%; B5- Açúcar light; B6-Açúcar light com redução de 50%; B7- Edulcorante e B8- Edulcorante com redução de 50%. Posteriormente foram realizadas análises física e sensorial das preparações. Uma maior densidade específica da massa crua foi observada em B5 e uma menor densidade em B8. Em relação ao volume específico dos bolos, as maiores médias foram encontradas em B1, B7 e B8. As formulações B1, B2 e B6 obtiveram uma maior aceitação em relação aos atributos, doçura, consistência, aparência e impressão global. Com a redução em 50% ou substituição do açúcar pelo adoçante, como visto em B2 e B6, respectivamente, não houve alteração estatisticamente significativa nas características físicas delas, tampouco foi fator de rejeição. Dessa forma, possibilita-se o desenvolvimento de formulações de bolos de abacaxi, com redução e/ou substituição do açúcar sem perder suas propriedades sensoriais e físicas de volume, de forma a garantir sua aceitabilidade.

(2023) Dias, Ana Clara Costa; Barbosa, Lais Cristina dos Santos; Guia, Michael Douglas Machado; Silveira, Clara Gomes da; Barcelos, Juliana Carvalho; Santos, Izabela Silva dos; Cunha, Luciana Rodrigues da; Pereira, Patrícia Aparecida Pimenta
Banana preserve is produced by mixing the puree of the fruit with sucrose and organic acids. However, concerns about body esthetics or health reasons have encouraged the search for low-calorie products. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of calcium chloride (CaCl2 ), carrageenan gum, and low methoxyl pectin (LM-pectin) on the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of sugar-free banana preserves. By using a central composite rotational design (CCRD) of 23 + 6 axial points + 4 central points, we obtained 18 formulations that were further tested. Lower CaCl2 concentrations (0.54% to 0.61%) resulted in preserves with lower pH and more vivid color. The increased concentration of LM-pectin (1.40% to 1.64%) resulted in formulations with a yellowish-red hue and with lower moisture, thus, reducing the flavor and purchase intention of the product. Higher concentrations of carrageenan gum (1.04% to 1.15%) decreased the perception of banana preserve aroma. Therefore, concentrations of CaCl2 ranging from 0.54% to 0.61%, carrageenan gum ranging from 0.74% to 0.89% and LM-pectin ranging from 1.40% to 1.64% resulted in sugar-free banana preserves with ideal sweetness and consistency and were, therefore, more acceptable.

(2023) Santos, Késia Regina Ferreira; Gomes, Bruna Letícia Oliveira; Vieira, Silvia Mendonça; Ribeiro, Marcelo Carlos; Pereira, Patrícia Aparecida Pimenta
Autism is a developmental disorder that affects communication, behavior, and social interaction. Autism symptoms may include delayed language development, difficulty making eye contact, repetitive movements or behaviors, and sensitivity to certain sensory stimuli. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the dietary and behavioral profile of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in city of Ouro Preto/MG. For this, the medical records of 11 children/young people assisted by the Association of Parents and Friends of the Exceptional (APAE) and the Psychosocial Care Center (CAPSij) in Ouro Preto/MG were evaluated. In addition, the responses obtained by parents and/or guardians about the dietary and behavioral profile of these individuals assisted by the institutions were evaluated using a questionnaire. The results were analyzed using word clouds and frequency analysis. In view of this, it is concluded that the dietary profile of children/young people with ASD is marked by food selectivity and that the main sensory aspect related to selectivity is texture, and that the foods most consumed by this group are industrialized foods, sugary foods and foods with low nutritional value. The least consumed are vegetables and fruits. In addition, the overload of mothers of children/young people with ASD was evident, being related to the great dependence of individuals on the mother.

(2023) Farias, Taísa Rezende Teixeira; Schiassi, Maria Cecília Evangelista Vasconcelos; Pereira, Patrícia Aparecida Pimenta; Souza, Vanessa Rios de; Lago, Amanda Maria Teixeira; Borges, Soraia Vilela; Queiroz, Fabiana
The aim of this study was 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). Mixture design was used for product optimization and the preserves were evaluated by texture profile, stress relaxation test, and uniaxial compression test. The research data were analyzed using regression equations on SAS software. The results indicated that the rheological parameters were affected by the body agents. Erythritol should not be used as an isolated component because it provoked changes in the properties of the final product (harder and brittle preserves); xylitol and sorbitol made preserves more elastic, cohesive, and more fragile; and polydextrose showed a synergistic effect with erythritol for rupture deformation and lesser effects for hardness, adhesiveness, and gumminess.

(2022) Lima, Natasha Nascimento; Souza, Edmara Moreira de; Santos, Paloma Cristina dos; Dias, Ana Clara Costa; Zinato, Matheus Macedo; Barbosa, Lais Cristina dos Santos; Cunha, Luciana Rodrigues da; Gandra, Kelly Moreira Bezerra; Pereira, Patrícia Aparecida Pimenta
Considerando os benefícios proporcionados pelo gengibre e pelo abacaxi, esse trabalho teve como objetivo desenvolver e avaliar néctares mistos de abacaxi e gengibre desenvolver e avaliar néctares mistos de abacaxi e gengibre em relação às suas características sensoriais, físico-químicas e nutricionais afim de identificar a proporção ideal dos dois fatores em estudo no produto final. Foram avaliados os efeitos de dois fatores (abacaxi e gengibre), considerando delineamento central composto rotacional (DCCR) (22 + 4 pontos axiais + 3 pontos centrais). As formulações foram submetidas ao teste de aceitação avaliando os atributos cor, aparência, aroma, consistência, sabor e impressão global, utilizando-se a escala hedônica estruturada de 9 pontos e intenção de compra mediante escala de atitude. Foram realizadas análises de pH, sólidos solúveis totais, compostos fenólicos totais, atividade antioxidante pela metodologia de captura do radical DPPH e vitamina C. Os resultados foram avaliados por meio de superfície de resposta, teste de médias, mapa de preferência interno e função de desejabilidade. Verificou-se que a utilização do abacaxi e do gengibre, quando combinados, podem apresentar néctares mistos com melhores características sensoriais e nutricionais. Além disso, o uso dos dois fatores em produtos mistos é de extrema relevância, pois pode contribuir para o maior aproveitamento e agregação de valor para cada um deles coletivamente, em vez de individualmente. De acordo com a função de desejabilidade, o néctar com maior qualidade sensorial e nutricional deve conter entre 30% e 31,45% de abacaxi e 0,40% e 0,49% de gengibre.

(2022) Coelho, Aline Meireles; Queiroz, Isabela Ferreira; Perucci, Luiza Oliveira; Souza, Melina Oliveira de; Lima, Wanderson Geraldo; Silva, André Talvani Pedrosa da; Costa, Daniela Caldeira
High doses of paracetamol (APAP) can cause irreversible liver damage. Piperine (P) inhibits cytochrome P450, which is involved in the metabolism of various xenobiotics, including paracetamol. We evaluated the hepatoprotective effects of piperine with or without N-acetylcysteine (NAC) in APAP-induced hepatotoxicity. The mice were treated with two doses of piperine (P20 or P40) and/or NAC at 2 h after administration of APAP. The NAC+P20 and NAC+P40 groups showed a reduced area of necrosis, MMP-9 activity, and Casp-1 expression. Furthermore, the NAC+P20 group was the only treatment that reduced alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and increased the levels of sulfhydryl groups (-SH). In the NAC+P40 group, NLRP-3 expression was reduced. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS), and IL-1β expression decreased in the NAC, NAC+P20, and NAC+P40 groups compared to the APAP group. The liver necrosis area, TNF levels, carbonylated protein, and IL-18 expression decreased in the P40, NAC, NAC+P20, and NAC+P40 groups compared to the APAP group. The cytokine IL-6 was reduced in all treatments. Piperine can be used in combination with NAC to treat APAP-induced hepatotoxicity.

(2022) Quintão, Arthur de Oliveira; Lima, Michelle Barbosa; Schiassi, Maria Cecília Evangelista Vasconcelos; Curi, Paula Nogueira; Monteiro, Reginaldo de Souza; Cunha, Luciana Rodrigues da; Pereira, Patrícia Aparecida Pimenta
Atualmente, nota-se uma grande preocupação por parte dos consumidores em adquirir produtos nutritivos, saudáveis, que tragam benefícios para a saúde, com sabores diferenciados e acima de tudo, seguros para o consumo, sendo uma tendência de mercado e, como o sorvete de iogurte está cada vez mais sendo apreciado no Brasil, o presente estudo teve como objetivos a) determinar a concentração ideal de gengibre a ser adicionado ao frozen yogurt, b) determinar a concentração de prebióticos em frozen yogurt adicionado de gengibre e c) estudar a viabilidade das culturas lácticas, os teores de compostos bioativos e a capacidade antioxidante de frozen yogurt simbiótico adicionado de gengibre. Verificou-se que a utilização de 0,8% e 1,0% de gengibre adicionados antes ou após a maturação da calda não influenciaram a preferência do frozen yogurt. Já a adição de prebióticos, forma isolada ou combinada, influenciaram no pH, nos atributos sensoriais de cor e sabor e no overrun, sendo que a utilização de 2% de inulina proporcionou maiores teores de compostos fenólicos. Diante do exposto conclui-se que é viável produzir frozen yogurt simbiótico adicionado de gengibre. Desta forma, as quantidades ideais de gengibre e de prebiótico a ser adicionado ao produto são 1% e 2%, respectivamente.
Antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of apricot (Mimusopsis comersonii) phenolic-rich extract and its application as an edible coating for fresh-cut vegetable preservation.
(2022) Lima, Emília Maria França; Matsumura, Caroline Harumi Silva; Silva, Geovana Luísa da; Patrocínio, Isabela Cristina Soares; Santos, Catarina Angeli; Pereira, Patrícia Aparecida Pimenta; Hassimotto, Neuza Mariko Aymoto; Pinto, Uelinton Manoel; Cunha, Luciana Rodrigues da
Edible coatings have several advantages in preserving foods, such as avoiding water loss, controlling microbial growth, and reducing the need for preservatives added directly to the product. Antimicrobial action can be obtained by adding antimicrobial substances including phenolic compounds commonly found in plant extracts. This study evaluated the phenolic compounds content, antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of pulp, and seed extracts of Mimusopsis comersonii (popularly known in Brazil as abrico), besides the phenolic compounds were identified and quantified in the pulp extract. Edible coatings were incorporated with pulp extract in order to evaluate the preservation of minimally processed apples and baroa potatoes against foodborne bacteria, and enzymatic browning was also determined. Myricetin-3-glucoside, quercetin-3-glucoside, and kaempferol-3-glucoside were identified as major flavonoids in the apricot pulp extract. The seed and pulp extracts inhibited all tested microorganisms, especially Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella Typhimurium. Edible coatings added with 9% of phenolic extract showed in vitro antimicrobial activity, in addition to being effective in preventing enzymatic browning in minimally processed apples and baroa potatoes for up to 15 days of storage. They were also effective in reducing up to 2 log CFU/g of aerobic mesophiles after 15 days of storage for apples, even though no microbial inhibition in baroa potatoes was observed under the same conditions. The addition of pulp phenolic extract in edible coatings proved to be an alternative in the preservation of apples and in the antibrowning activity of minimally processed baroa potatoes.

(2023) Paulo, Linamarys Aparecida de Oliveira; Fernandes, Raquel Nunes; Gandra, Kelly Moreira Bezerra; Minim, Valéria Paula Rodrigues; Minim, Luis Antonio; Grimaldi, Renato; Vidigal, Márcia Cristina Teixeira Ribeiro
Baru seeds are commonly found in the Brazilian savanna and present potential to be used by the food industry due to their high content of fat. In this sense, this study aimed to determine the physicochemical properties, and chemical composition of baru seed oil. The thermal and oxidative stability, as well as the interfacial properties of the oil were also evaluated. The free fatty acid, peroxide, moisture, density, viscosity and the refractive index of the oil extracted from baru seeds were 0.08% oleic acid, 6.69 meq O2 kg–1 of oil, 0.03%, 0.92 g cm–3, 32.9 mPa s and 1.47, respectively. Since linoleic acid (L), oleic acid (O), palmitic acid (P) and linolenic acid (Ln) are the main fatty acids present in the oil, the most common predominant triacylglycerols in the oil are POO, POL, OOO, OOL, OLL and LLL. The oil extracted from baru seeds presented good thermal and oxidative stability. Moreover, the oil contains high contents of total phenolics and carotenoids. The reduction of oil-water dynamic interfacial tension was promoted by the presence of small molecules. Therefore, the oil extracted from baru seeds presents promising properties for processing in the food industry.
A simple dynamic to promote the improvement of good manufacturing practices at a school cafeteria of Belo Horizonte, Brazil.
(2023) Ribeiro, Christiane Souza; Liboredo, Juliana Costa
A strategy to improve good manufacturing practices was applied at a school cafeteria (Belo Horizonte, Brazil). The Quality Signal in Food Services (SQUAN) consists of a strategy to evaluate the degree of compliance of food services to good practices, which includes classifying your sectors into different traffic-based colors. Inspections were performed in all cafeteria sectors for three months. Items evaluated were classified as “compliant” or “non-compliant” with the Resolution 216 from Brazilian Health Surveillance Agency. Sectors with 80-100% of compliance were assigned the “Green Signal”; 60-80% “Yellow Signal”; and less than 60% “Red Signal”. The present study aimed at evaluating whether the SQUAN was a good strategy to improve school’s cafeteria overall hygiene. Meat and side dish, salad, and dessert sectors displayed an improvement of 87%, 12%, and 35% regarding compliance to good practices, respectively. The salad sector reached the “Yellow Signal”, but the remaining sectors reached the “Green Signal” and remained there until the end of the study. To our knowledge, until this time no study proposes the use of traffic-light-based colors as an educational means for implementing good manufacturing practices in food service. In conclusion, SQUAN was an effective strategy to improve hygienic/sanity conditions at a cafeteria.

(2022) Souza, Tamires Cássia de Melo; Liboredo, Juliana Costa; Ferreira, Lívia Garcia; Daniel, Marina Martins; Di Renzo, Laura; Pivari, Francisca; Anastácio, Lucilene Rezende
Background: The COVID 19 pandemic impacted the health and well-being of different populations around the world. The aim of this study is to investigate the changes in the daily habits of Brazilians before and during two moments of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A longitudinal study in which an online questionnaire (sleeping time, alcohol consumption, smoking, use of screen devices, physical activity, and dietary patterns) was applied at three moments. Results: The frequency of alcohol consumption, smoking, and sleep hours did not change significantly at different times. For the number of alcoholic beverages, there was a reduction in consumption from T0 to T1 and an increase from T1 to T2. There was a significant increase in hours of screen device use from T0 to T1, remaining high at T2. Finally, the level of physical activity in minutes reduced from T0 to T1, returning to base levels at T2. As for eating habits, there was an increase in the frequency of consumption of instant meals, fast food, and sweets at the first moment, with a significant reduction at the second moment. The consumption of legumes, milk and dairy products, bakery products, and meats was higher at T2. Conclusions: Some habits returned to or approached T0 levels. However, other habits remained unchanged, such as screen time and frequency of consumption of some food groups, throughout the last evaluation.
Sucos produzidos por prensa a frio : atividade antioxidante e caracterização sensorial.
(2022) Muraro, Gabriela; Santos, Karine Nava dos; Silva, Fernanda Guimarães Dummond e; Bernardi, Daniela Miotto
As frutas e produtos naturais de frutas, como os sucos, estão associados a dietas saudáveis e representam uma tendência de consumo da população. Neste contexto, o objetivo do presente trabalho foi desenvolver sucos de frutas amarelas e de frutas vermelhas produzidos por prensa a frio e avaliar as características funcionais e sensoriais dos produtos. Foram utilizadas frutas in natura para a formulação dos sucos de frutas amarelas e de frutas vermelhas. Para o primeiro foram utilizados maracujá azedo, manga Tommy e melão Pingo de Mel e para o segundo, morango, mirtilo, framboesa, amora e maçã Fuji. Foram avaliados o rendimento de produção, o teor de fibra bruta, a atividade antioxidante, a aceitabilidade e a intenção de compras, sendo que os produtos produzidos foram comparados à comerciais similares. O teor de fibras dos sucos comerciais foi maior que dos produzidos no estudo. A atividade antioxidante do suco de frutas vermelhas produzido por prensa a frio foi maior que o comercial, porém o suco de frutas amarelas teve menor atividade antioxidante que o comercial. Os sucos produzidos obtiveram notas de aceitabilidade acima de 7, superiores às notas dos sucos comerciais em todos os atributos avaliados, sendo que a intenção de compra seguiu o mesmo comportamento. Sucos produzidos por prensa a frio são uma estratégia interessante para atender as tendências de consumo da população, apresentam boa aceitabilidade e mais estudos são necessários para comprovar as propriedades funcionais de tais produtos frente à outras técnicas de produção.

Melissa officinalis (Lamiaceae) é reconhecida por diferentes propriedades fitoterápicas e fisiológico- funcionais. O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar o efeito dos extratos dessa espécie sobre parâmetros de crescimento, histologia hepática e exames bioquímicos de ratos wistar alimentados com dieta de cafeteria. Foram utilizados 32 animais, divididos em quatro grupos (n=8): C – grupo controle, alimentados com ração comercial e água; DC – grupo alimentado com dieta de cafeteria e água; DCMD – alimentados por dieta de cafeteria com 2% de Melissa officinalis e água; DCMI – alimentados com dieta de cafeteria e infusão com 10% de Melissa officinalis. Foram avaliados: consumo de ração diário, consumo de líquido diário, ganho de peso diário, conversão alimentar, peso dos órgãos, exames séricos de glicemia, colesterol, triglicerídeos, oxidação lipídica e atividade antioxidante. Os resultados mostraram que Melissa officinalis administrada na forma de infusão atuou sobre a redução do peso corporal dos animais e teve efeito protetor sobre o tecido hepático resultando em menor vacuolização citoplasmática. Melissa officinalis administrada na dieta promoveu efeito protetor sobre os níveis de glicemia sérica dos animais. Portanto, a Melissa officinalis apresenta potencial de uso como agente dietético e fitoterápico coadjuvante no tratamento de hiperglicemia, dislipidemias e estresse oxidativo.

(2022) Paula, Daiane Gabriele Couto de; Vasconcelos, Christiane Mileib; Pereira, Alexandre Fontes; Quintão, Anna Lídya da Cunha; Chaves, Jaísa Oliveira; Parreiras, Paola Machado; Salierno, Camila Carvalho Menezes
Jabuticaba is a fruit sensory appreciated and has significant nutritional and functional value. However, it is quite perishable, and its use is interesting for the preparation of other products such as fermented jabuticaba, from a nutritional, biological and technological point of view. This study evaluated the interference of maceration time over antioxidant capacity, volatile compounds profile and temporal dominant sensation of fermented jabuticaba. Four different treatments of fermented jabuticaba in different fermentation times were prepared (96, 120, 144 and 168 h). After preparation, total monomeric anthocyanin content, total antioxidant activity by 2,2-azino-bis 3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid and iron reduction method, volatile compounds profile by gas chromatography and sensory analysis of temporal dominance of sensations were performed of fermented jabuticaba. The highest concentration of total anthocyanins (25.81 mg/100 g) and antioxidant activity (78.34 μmol Trolox/g e 84.69 μM FeSO4 /g) of jabuticaba is in its skin. Regarding the antioxidant activity by FRAP method, the fermented beverages presented higher value than the whole fruit. However, after 96 h of maceration, the values decreased, followed by an increase after 144 h. In all maceration times the predominant sensation was acidic taste, initially and then astringency, the most persistent sensation in all treatments. However, there was a downward trend in this sensation with the increase in maceration time, as well as isoamyl alcohol content.

(2022) Oliveira, Rafaela de Souza; Messias, Anny Caroline; Horta, Jacques Gabriel Álvares; Oliveira, Deborah Campos; Correa, Paula Brumana; Faria, Jussara Quintão; Lopes, Gabriela Fonseca; Cunha, Edinalva Bitarães; Caligiorne, Rachel Basques; Figueiredo, Sônia Maria de
The case study reports on nutritional counseling the use of nutritional supplement of Brazilian Green Propolis for a patient with breast cancer. Treatment with green propolis was given to improve the nutritional status of the patient and also reduce the symptoms caused by chemotherapy. Marker values decreased and chemotherapy side effect symptoms were alleviated. The green propolis was effective as adjuvant therapy and improved the quality of life of the patient during the treatment period. News clinical trials should be performed to determine the best Brazilian green propolis concentrations for the treatment of other types of cancer at different stages of progression.

(2023) Curi, Paula Nogueira; Schiassi, Maria Cecília Evangelista Vasconcelos; Silva, Alexandre Dias da; Pio, Rafael; Pereira, Patrícia Aparecida Pimenta; Rossi, Maíra Ferreira de Melo; Souza, Vanessa Rios de
The aim was to evaluate jellies and juices of raspberry from the cultivar “Batum” made with different sugars (white refined sugar, white crystal sugar, demerara sugar, brown sugar and coconut sugar) evaluating physicochemical, physical and sen- sory aspects. The influence of information on product accept- ability was evaluated. Analyzes of solids, pH, total acidity and color were performed on the products. Texture profile analysis was also conducted on the jellies. Jelly produced with refined sugar presented the highest hardness, adhesiveness and gum- miness values. The jelly and juice made with each type of sugar changed the physicochemical and physical characteristics of the final products. When the characteristics and benefits of each sugar that were used were passed on to the consumer, the sensory acceptance was changed. The use of demerara and brown sugars was better accepted in jellies. As for juices, there was greater acceptability when using white crystal and demer- ara sugars.
High-fat diet increases mortality and intensifies immunometabolic changes in septic mice.
(2023) Gomes, Sttefany Viana; Dias, Bruna Vidal; Machado Júnior, Pedro Alves; Pereira, Renata Rebeca; Souza, Débora Maria Soares de; Breguez, Gustavo Silveira; Lima, Wanderson Geraldo de; Magalhães, Cíntia Lopes de Brito; Cangussú, Silvia Dantas; Silva, André Talvani Pedrosa da; Queiroz, Karina Barbosa de; Calsavara, Allan Jefferson Cruz; Costa, Daniela Caldeira
Immunometabolic changes in the liver and white adipose tissue caused by high-fat (HF) diet intake may worse metabolic adaptation and protection against pathogens in sepsis. We investigate the effect of chronic HF diet (15 weeks) on mortality and immunometabolic responses in female mice after sepsis induced by cecum ligation and perforation (CLP). At week 14, animals were divided into four groups: sham C diet, sepsis C diet (C-Sp), sham HF diet (HF-Sh) and sepsis HF diet (HF-Sp). The surviving animals were euthanized on the 7th day. The HF diet decreased survival rate (58.3% vs. 76.2% C-Sp group), increased serum cytokine storm (IL-6 [1.41 ×; vs. HF-Sh], IL-1β [1.37 ×; vs. C-Sp], TNF [1.34 ×; vs. C-Sp and 1.72 ×; vs. HF-Sh], IL-17 [1.44 ×; vs. HF-Sh], IL-10 [1.55 ×; vs. C-Sp and 1.41 ×; HF-Sh]), white adipose tissue inflammation (IL-6 [8.7 ×; vs. C-Sp and 2.4 ×; vs. HF-Sh], TNF [5 ×; vs. C-Sp and 1.7 ×; vs. HF-Sh], IL-17 [1.7 ×; vs. C-Sp], IL-10 [7.4 ×; vs. C-Sp and 1.3 ×; vs. HF-Sh]), and modulated lipid metabolism in septic mice. In the HF-Sp group liver's, we observed hepatomegaly, hydropic degeneration, necrosis, an increase in oxidative stress (reduction of CAT activity [−81.7%; vs. HF-Sh]; increase MDA levels [82.8%; vs. HF-Sh], and hepatic IL-6 [1.9 ×; vs. HF-Sh], and TNF [1.3 × %; vs. HF-Sh]) production. Furthermore, we found a decrease in the total number of inflammatory, mononuclear cells, and in the regenerative processes, and binucleated hepatocytes in a HF-Sp group livers. Our results suggested that the organism under metabolic stress of a HF diet during sepsis may worsen the inflammatory landscape and hepatocellular injury and may harm the liver regenerative process.
