Elaboração da farinha de palma aditivada com sabor camarão para alimentação humana.

Abstract

The objective of this research was to study the drying process of flour and palm giant head flour shrimp for human consumption. Cladodes of giant palm and shrimp head were used, distributed in a completely randomized design with a 2x6 arrangement, (2 flour: palm flour and palm flour with different leveis of shrimp) and (6 drying treatments: fresh, 60 °C, 70 °C, 80 °C, 90 °C and 100 °C) with 3 replications. We analyzed water content, ash, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, total caloric value (TCV), pH, total and reducing sugars, soluble solids. A sensory analysis with a population of 80 tasters was performed; appearance, color and odor of palm flour with 15, 20 and 25% flour of shrimp had been evaluated, a hedonic scale of 1 to 7 points was used. The drying results were analyzed using Statistica 7 and comparing the physical chemical parameters we used software version 7.5 Assistat. It was concluded that: Among the three models used in adjusting the drying curve to experimental data and drying palm head shrimps, which best represents the experimental data of drying is to Page, at ali temperatures; Products manufactured with the highest percentages of shrimp head meai, 20 and 25%, were preferred by tasters, with averages between 6 and 7, corresponding to a concept between enjoyed slightly and enjoyed regularly.
