Abstract The exaggerated consumption of fast food and ready to eat products is a common practice which results in an unbalanced intake of saturated fats. In order to improve the fat composition of beef patties, mixture design was used to optimize the inclusion of pomace olive oil (POO) and canola oil (CO). Cooking yield, moisture retention, diameter reduction, color, texture and sensorial parameters were accessed. Models showed, with a 94.5% of variance explained, that the inclusion of POO and CO should be limited in order to maintain a low acidity index and texture parameters comparable to commercial burgers of similar composition. Preference test, consumer profile, acceptability, penalty analysis and Check-all-that-apply (CATA) results indicated that a parcial replacement of pork fat (PF) can be considered. In sum, formulations with improved fat composition (50 or 33% replaced animal fat by POO and CO) were obtained.

Este trabalho teve como objetivo o desenvolvimento de pães e bolos tipo muffin livres de glúten, usando farinha de arroz e amidos de milho e de mandioca. A partir de sete amostras resultantes de um delineamento Simplex-Centroide, foram realizadas análises sensoriais e instrumentais de volume específico, elasticidade e firmeza. Para a análise sensorial, a formulação ótima de mistura encontrada foi 50% de creme de arroz e 50% de amido de mandioca e, para a análise instrumental, o ponto ótimo simultâneo das três análises realizadas foi 20% de creme de arroz, 30% de amido de mandioca e 50% de amido de milho. Análises comparativas foram feitas para volume específico, elasticidade e firmeza, e teste triangular entre o pão assado e o pão pré-assado e congelado. Para ambos os produtos, foram realizadas análises físico-químicas e nutricionais, as quais estão de acordo com a legislação vigente.

This work had as objective the development of gluten-free breads and muffins using rice flour and maize and cassava starches. From seven samples resulting from a Simplex-Centroid design, the sensory and instrumental analyses of specific volume, elasticity, and firmness were performed. For the sensory analysis, the optimized formulation contained 50% of rice flour and 50% of cassava starch, and for the instrumental evaluation, the optimal simultaneous point for the three conducted analyses were 20% of rice flour, 30% of cassava starch, and 50% of maize starch. A comparative analysis of specific volume, elasticity, firmness, and triangular test was performed with pre-baked, baked, and frozen bread. Physicochemical, nutritional, and microbiological analyses were performed for both bread and muffin according to the Brazilian legislation.
