The fruit processing pulp is a widely used technique because much of the population seeking convenience and a healthier diet, in addition to increase the product shelf life and can provide it to distant regions and periods off season. This study evaluated physicochemical and microbiological characteristics, in three consecutive months, 17 flavors of fruit pulp of a manufacturing company in order to use the final product control as a means to identify control gaps present in the acquisition of raw materials as well as during processing steps and packaging. It was noticed that about 60% of all pulps were unfit for human consumption, with the highest percentage in the physicochemical analysis (45%), followed by microbiological (30%). In the microbiological characteristics, the large amount of molds and yeasts suggest failure through cleaning and sanitizing fruits and in the processing area. For the physicochemical analysis, pH and total soluble solids content were the most alarming, verifying the possibility of water adittion (illegal) and acidulant excess, which causes the pulp loses its fruit identity. The most problematic fruits were pineapple, prune, caja, cashew, graviola, guava and passion fruit. The control of the final product proved essential to the company's quality assurance.","PeriodicalId":119762,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bioenergy and Food Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128271037","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}

The solutions were prepared according to an experimental design of 2³ with 3 central points. The films were produced by the \"casting\" technique, which consists on surface drying, and were characterized by the color, opacity, tensile strength, solubility, water vapor permeability and thickness. Lightness values ranged between 66.76 and 96.03, the brightness decreased with increasing the concentrations of clay, oil and glycerol. The opacity values showed an increase with the addition of glycerol, ranging from 1.96 to 44.24%. The values of tensile strength ranged from 5 to 14 MPa, and the solubility values, from 2.14 to 7.97%. In the 5% level, solubility and tensile strength analyzes were not significant. The water vapor permeability (WVP) ranged from 0.77 to 2.51 (g.mm/KPa.m 2 .d). The most influent factors on the permeability to water vapor in the films are the glycerol and essential oil concentrations, which increases the permeability as these variables increase. In relation to the thickness, the concentration of montmorillonite clay interfered in the range from 0.02 to 0.04mm, and as higher its concentration, greater the thickness. It was concluded that the collagen films obtained good mechanical properties, adequate visual appearance, easy handing and low permeability to water vapor and low water solubility. The essential oil was effective in the structure of the film, since that it improves the look and easier handling.","PeriodicalId":119762,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bioenergy and Food Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129552293","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}
