DESENVOLVIMENTO DE EXTRATO DE ARROZ QUIRERA ENRIQUECIDO COM FARINHA DE GERGELIM

Abstract

The use of broken rice is still little explored in Brazil, used a large in animal feed. However, when processed with good manufacturing practices, it can also be used in human food, as it is a high-quality product with levels of good protein, energy levels, and high starch content. Another grain that is little used and nutritionally rich is sesame, wherein its composition of proteins and lipids stands out. In addition, it is rich in noble amino acids, bioactive and immune-stimulating substances such as arginine, methionine, cysteine, and leucine, mineral salts such as calcium, iron, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, zinc, and selenium, as well as some vitamins from complex B. Thus, aiming to better use of broken rice and sesame seeds and an improvement in the diet of people allergic to milk protein, this work aimed at the broken rice extract production enriched with flour, sesame, determining some of its physicochemical properties after the formulated product: total soluble solids, pH, titratable acidity, lipids, moisture, and ash. From the results, it was possible to evaluate that the ash analyzes obtained a significant difference (p≤0.05). The pH averages of the two formulations were approximate and differed statistically from each other. On the moisture analysis, the formulations did not show any significant difference. The mean of lipids was not significantly different among themselves. On the acidity results, the B formulation was superior to formulation A. However, they are not statistically different from each other. The analyses in general obtained satisfactory results, but with divergent values with some data from literature due to the ingredient differences of the formulations of this study, in comparison with other authors. Hence it is concluded that formulations A and B showed satisfactory results concerning the physical-chemical parameters analyzed, with evidence for formulation A, which presented better results in terms of ash content, pH values, moisture, and lipid content.
