Mechanically Separated Meat (MSM) is an alternative for the diversification of new fish-based products and also as a solution for the use of waste from the filleting industries. Tilapia MSM was used in this study for the formulation of a fish spread aimed at investigating its acceptability by consumers. Two spread formulations were prepared with different types of commercial salt: seasoned salt (A) and common salt (B). The consumers (112) evaluated their acceptance with respect to overall impression, spreadability, appearance and flavour acceptability on a 9-point hedonic scale. A microbiological analysis of the Tilapia MSM was also carried out and the chemical composition of the Tilapia MSM-based spread determined. When considering the acceptance of all the consumers, the overall impression, appearance and flavour were significantly (P < 0.05) lower for the spread made with common salt (B). However, three different consumer segments could be found from the overall impression of the Tilapia MSM-based spread. The largest segment also preferred the spread made with the seasoned salt (A), but both products were well accepted. The tilapia MSM presented adequate quality as a raw material according to the technical regulations for microbiological standards. The final product presented the following chemical composition: moisture - 62.17%; ash - 2.11%; protein - 9.75% and lipid - 18.81%. These results could be of great importance for the industry in developing and marketing new products obtained from mechanically separated Tilapia meat.

Celiac disease (CD) is defined as an autoimmune pathology mediated by specific antibodies and is associated with genetic factors, which causes an inflammatory process of the intestinal mucosa in response to gluten ingestion. A study was conducted to evaluate some gluten-free cookie formulations using rice and green banana flour as raw material, and to evaluate the acceptance and chemical composition of the cookies elaborated. Three different cookie formulations were prepared to contain 100% rice flour, 50% rice flour and 50% green banana flour and 100% green banana flour. The following sensory attributes were evaluated: crispness, flavor, and overall impression, using the 9-point hedonic scale and purchase intention using the 5-point structured scale, to check the acceptance of cookies. The chemical composition of the formulation most accepted by sensory analysis was quantified. Sensory evaluation showed that all cookie formulations were accepted; however, the increase of the green banana flour content has resulted in lower acceptance, which may be due to the slightly bitter flavor that green banana flour gives the product. The most accepted cookie formulation had 15.78% protein, 0.80% ash, 4.31% moisture content, 12.35% lipid, and 66.77% carbohydrate. These nutritional characteristics are following Brazilian legislation. Therefore, all cookie formulations have marketing potential, which is very important, especially for people with gluten sensitivity.

Cassava bagasse, regarded as an agricultural residue can be used as raw material in the development of new products. Cereal bars are foods that have increasingly gained consumers because of the practical use. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of adding cassava bagasse (0, 8 and 25%) on the chemical composition and sensory acceptance of coconut cereal bars with Brazil nuts. Cereal bars with cassava bagasse had higher moisture, protein and carbohydrates (fiber) contents than cereal bars without bagasse, lower ash contents and similar fat content. The addition of cassava bagasse caused a decrease in the acceptance of the cereal bars only in the concentration of 25%, however, the products had hedonic values greater than 7 in a 9-point hedonic scale and acceptability indices higher than 80%, indicating that consumers moderately liked them. It can be concluded that the use of up to 25% cassava bagasse in the cereal bar formulation yields products with improved nutritional value and appropriated consumer acceptance. The addition of cassava bagasse to food products is a good alternative in the use of this byproduct, due to the sensory characteristics of the obtained products and the reduction of production costs, because the cassava bagasse has low cost and increases the production yield.

Nowadays, propolis is used as a highly valuable product in alternative medicine for improving health or treating a large spectrum of pathologies, an ingredient in pharmaceutical products, and also as a food additive. Different vegetal materials are collected by honeybees and mixed with wax and other own substances in order to obtain the final product, called propolis. It is known as the bee product with the widest chemical composition due to the raw material collected by the bees. Different types are known worldwide: green Brazilian propolis (having Baccharis dracunculifolia as the major plant source), red Brazilian propolis (from Dalbergia ecastophyllum), European propolis (Populus nigra L.), Russian propolis (Betula verrucosa Ehrh), Cuban and Venezuelan red propolis (Clusia spp.), etc. An impressive number of scientific papers already demonstrate the pharmacological potential of different types of propolis, the most important activities being the antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, immunomodulatory, and antioxidant activities. However, the bioactive compounds responsible for each activity have not been fully elucidated. This review aims to collect important data about the chemical composition and bioactive properties of the vegetal sources and to compare with the chemical composition of respective propolis types, in order to determine the connection between the floral source and the propolis properties.

Chemical composition and cooking quality of two sweet-potato cultivars were analyzed. Morada INTA and Rojo Blanco cultivars from Agricultural Experiment Station-INTA, San Pedro, province of Buenos Aires, Argentina (lAt 33°41'S., long 59° 41'W.), and from harvests of three different years, were used. Dry matter, free aminoacids, starch, reduced soluble sugars, total nitrogen, pectines, specific gravity, sucrose, total ashes, calcium, phosphorus, iron and magnesium were analyzed. Except for aminoacids and iron contents, the averages of Morada INTA parameters were statistically different at 5% probability level from those of Rojo Blanco. Sweet potatoes were also prepared as boiled and candied, and both products were evaluated by a pannel, using a hedonic scale of 5 points. No statistical differences were found between Morada INTA and Rojo Blanco cultivars. Therefore, Rojo Blanco can replace Morada INTA. The quality of the raw material for processing depends on the particular characteristics of the harvest of each year.

Abstract This study aimed to investigate the effect of fermented rice bran used as a feed ingredient on the apparent digestibility coefficient (ADC) of tilapia feed. The fermentation process was conducted under aerobic conditions using 2% Aspergillus niger for 24 hours. Moreover, three different types of feed were prepared with 3 replicates and these include treatment A (reference feed), B (unfermented rice bran feed), and C (fermented rice bran feed). These treatments were provided for the tilapia for 30 days. Meanwhile, the tilapia used had an average weight of 5 g/fish and reared using a recirculation system with a density of 16 fish/aquarium. The results showed that the value of ADCenergy (78.11%) in treatment C was significantly highest (P<0.05) compared to other treatments, while the lowest was in treatment B with 72.24%. The values of ADCdry matter (67.56%) and feed efficiency (64.20%) in treatment C were also higher (P<0.05) compared to treatment B with 57.02% and 54.74% respectively. However, there was no significantly difference (p>0.05) in the value of ADCprotein, ADClipid, and SGR among the treatments. These results indicate the rice bran fermented using A. niger is potential to be used as a raw material ingredient for tilapia feed.

Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is one of the main commodities of freshwater fish in Indonesia. Mostly, tilapia is exported in the form of fillets which produce residual processing including bobe, skin, and scales which can reach 50 to 70% of the total weight of fish. The aimed of this study was to extract and characterize collagen from bone, skin, and scales of tilapia. The research method used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) by treating the different types of collagen raw materials, namely bone, skin, and scales of tilapia. The results showed that the type of raw material affected the yield, water content, color, and pH (p<0.05). The collagen yield in this study was 0.53% (bone), 0.63% (scales) and 0.94% (skin). The small amount of amendment was caused by the concentration of acetic acid being too low. the smallest water content in tilapia fish collagen 2.17%; the best brightness of collagen in fish bones 76.91%; the value of the largest degree of white on fish scales 75.95%; pH content close to neutral fish collagen scales 6.49; Morphological results of collagen produced using SEM, the presence of pores seen in the collagen of tilapia fish due to the space between the collagen fibers while. Collagen from the skin and scales has the same morphology, which is shaped in small squares and smooth surface without pores

This paper presents an intensive procedure used for the decontamination of the soils, which were radioactively contaminated by uranium, due to the occurrence of some antropic accidents, in order to limit the area�s pollution. The procedure used for the chemical decontamination of the polluted soils was the washing one and the decontamination degree is comparatively presented depending on the ultrasounds� presence and absence. The lab testes were performed on five types of soils , which were characterized from the granulometric, structural and chemical composition viewpoint, all these aspects represent the main factors, which determine the applied decontamination procedure�s limits and performances correlated with its utilization costs. The decontamination procedure�s kinetics for each type of soils was analyzed, using successively three different types of reagents (water, 0.1 M sulphuric acid solution and chloro-sodic solution � 100 g/L sodium chloride + 10 g/L sodium carbonate in water) for a solid to liquid ratio of 1:2, during 2 h, at a temperature of 20oC in a mechanic stirring system respectively in ultrasounds field. It was observed that the decontamination degree increases with up to 15-20% in case of the ultrasound field utilization comparing to the first case.
