RESUMO

The new trend of searching for products with reduced caloric values and sugar contents by consumers dependent on restrictive diets, either for health related reasons or by personal option, has stimulated the growth of the food industry in this sector, with the commitment to formulate products of sensory and nutritional quality. Based on this context, the objective of this work was to promote sucrose and glucose reduction in mango juice and the production of mango jelly without the addition of sucrose and glucose, maintaining the natural fructose and rich in fruit solids. To accomplish this, whole mango juice (cv. Keitt) was processed and characterized chemically and microbiologically. First, a study of the nzymatic treatment of the juice with invertase was carried out, this enzyme hydrolyzing sucrose into fructose and glucose, and also with glucose oxidase, which promotes glucose oxidation. The idea was to produce juice with a greater proportion of fructose than other sugars, which may be eaten by diabetic individuais. The trials were planned using a central composite design, with five levels for each independent variable, namely, invertase concentration (w/w) and glucose oxidase concentration (v/w). Treatment time and temperature, as well as stirring, were predetermined and fixed. The results showed up to 100% of sucrose inversion, while glucose oxidation achieved a maximum levei of 8%, probably because of low glucose oxidase activity in mango juice. A second objective was to produce a mango jelly rich in fruit solids and without the addition of the commonly used sugars (sucrose, glucose syrup), which was compared to a conventional jelly with respect to physical, chemical, sensorial and microbiological aspects. The jellies were produced by different processes, namely, open-air process for the conventional jelly and a continuous method for the jelly without added sugars. The results of the chemical and physical characterization of both the jellies were compatible with articles found in the specialized literature and within the ranges established as standards for jelly quality, mainly in terms of the parameters pH, acidity and soluble solids content, essential for gel formation. ...
