This study was undertaken to evaluate the use of ozone as a pretreatment to facilitate hydrolysis of sugarcane top leaves. In the first experimentation, sugarcane top leaves were subjected to ozone (62.37 mg O 3 min -1 over a three hour period) and water only (control). Following ozonation, the material was separated into a liquid and solid fraction. The analysis of liquid fraction showed that phenolic concentration and soluble solids did not vary. However, there was a decrease in pH and an increase in reducing sugars. This treatment increased saccharification. During the second treatment, ozone was added by direct infusion in a suspension of sugarcane top leaves and distilled water at a ratio of 1:10 (w.v -1 ). Additionally, the lignocellulosic analysis showed a positive relationship between the dose of ozone and decomposition of lignin and an increase in the proportion of cellulose and hemicellulose in the material. All aspects are good signs for the use of ozone in pretreatment of lignocelullosic feedstocks.","PeriodicalId":119762,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bioenergy and Food Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125479055","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this context, there is the proposal to use the matrinxa (Brycon amazonicus) as an alternative to sardines (Sardinella brasiliensis) for the canning of fish industry. This work aimed to evaluate the nutritional and sensory quality and matrinxa cans in vegetable oil. To evaluate the acceptance we used three canned fish samples with vegetable oil coverage, as follows: matrinxa, freshwater and saltwater sardine sardines. A preference test and an acceptance hedonic scale of nine points was applied. There was no significant difference in preference between the matrinxa and freshwater sardines, however, the matrinxa and saltwater sardines differ significantly, and canned matrinxa was the most preferred. For the color attribute, flavor and overall impression there was no significant difference between the three fish, as for the taste attribute, matrinxa presented higher acceptance significantly differing from saltwater sardines. In the chemical composition, the matrinxa showed a protein content of 28.67%, moisture 51.67%, 15.67% and total lipids 2.67% minerals. Therefore, it is concluded that the matrinxa is a good option for canned fish industry, as presented good nutritional quality and high acceptance compared to traditional canned fish.","PeriodicalId":119762,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bioenergy and Food Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127798898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
