Therefore, the focus of this research was on stabilizing the functional and antioxidant components of Chillangua through encapsulation with maltodextrin and Arabic gum. A central composite experimental design was used to evaluate the variables: type of encapsulant (maltodextrin and Arabic gum), encapsulant concentration (3% and 10%), and atomization temperature (130 and 160°C). The results showed that the fresh plant contained 1.34% fat, 17.47% protein, 22.90% fiber, 14.24% ash, and a pH of 6.88. Additionally, concentrations of 3,883.77 μg/g of chlorophyll a, 1,761.72 μg/g of chlorophyll b, 889.19 μg/g of carotenoids, 61.21 mg/g of total polyphenols, 0.02 mg/g of flavonoids, 1.29 mg/g of ascorbic acid, 40 µmol Trolox Eq/g, and 91.60 µmol Trolox/g of antioxidant activity by 2´2´-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) and 2,2-difenil-1-picrilhidrazilo (DPPH), respectively, were identified. When encapsulating Chillangua, it is identified that a reduction occurs in its functional components, as well as its antioxidant activity. The maximum process optimization was achieved at 160°C with 3% maltodextrin and 3% Arabic gum. The irregular morphology of the particles contained C, O, K, Zn, Cl, Al, Ca, and Na.","PeriodicalId":12404,"journal":{"name":"Food Science and Technology","volume":"130 17","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141811655","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}

A total of 24 native goats, weighing 42 ± 4 kg and 30 ± 3 days into lactation, were used. The data were subjected to canonical analysis to identify the variables that best discriminate. The main objective of this procedure is to find the best set of variables to compose the discriminant function. Four components were needed to explain 70.68% of the total variation in the physical variables and FA profile in the milk of native goats. The percentage of variance accumulated in the first two factors is 41%. The most important variables in the first factor were the short-chain FAs, namely, caproic (6C), caprylic (8C), capric (10C), and lauric (C12), which are responsible for giving the milk its characteristic and even unpleasant odor, depending on their concentration. New studies with a larger sample of data should be carried out to better understand the relationships between physical and chemical variables in the milk of native goats as well as other breeds of goats for comparison.

They used 42 non-castrated male Santa Inês lambs, with about 180 days of age and an average weight of 21.6 ± 2.2 kg, distributed in a completely randomized design with seven treatments and six repetitions, and the data were submitted to regression analysis, factorial (level × water), and contrast between the control treatment and others. The treatments consisted of the inclusion of spineless cactus (0, 30, 50, and 70%). In treatments containing cactus pear (36 animals), half of the animals were placed under voluntary water consumption restriction. According to the physicochemical characteristics analyzed, lipids suffered an increasing linear effect (p<0.05) as they included spineless cactus in the diet of sheep. The control diet had the lowest percentage of lipids (2.44%). The inclusion of 50% cactus pear promoted a higher content of lipids (3.41), and restricting water intake resulted in higher lipid content (3.09). The inclusion of cactus pear and water restriction did not affect the profile of fatty acids in meat. In the studied sensory attributes (hardness, juiciness, flavor, color, aroma, and overall acceptability), only meat color suffered an increasing linear effect (p < 0.05). With the inclusion of spineless cactus in the diet, the meat from the lambs received good grades from the panelists, showing good acceptability. This demonstrates that the cactus pear provides sufficient water and nutrients for animals, resulting in the deposition of intramuscular fat, thus becoming a good-quality meat.","PeriodicalId":12404,"journal":{"name":"Food Science and Technology","volume":"39 15","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141815027","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}

This article highlights the effects of three plant extracts obtained from locally cultivated crops in Guyana.
