In order to avoid losses, jabuticabas can be industrialized, but generally the processes of industrialization generate appreciable amounts of bark and seeds, which represent approximately 50 % of the fruit. Therefore, the objective of the study was to perform osmotic dehydration followed by convective drying of jabuticaba’s peel in order to enjoy the byproduct, and consequently develop of jabuticaba’s peel passes and crystallized and subsequently evaluate the stability of the products. To define the best conditions of osmotic dehydration response surface methodology, taking as independent variables temperature (35.86 to 64.14°C) and sucrose concentration (45.86 to 74.14 ° Brix) was applied, and in response to loss of water (PA), solid gain (GS) weight Loss (PP) and speed of sound gain (Vgs). It was concluded that through osmotic dehydration with sucrose solution at 70° Brix and 60°C, followed by drying at 60°C for 4h, it is possible to obtain jabuticaba´s peel passes and crystallized with an average content humidity of 28% and low water activity (0.523). For the study of jabuticaba´s peel passes and crystallized products were subjected to osmotic dehydration, as quoted above, the drying process was carried out at three different temperatures 60, 70 and 80ºC and stored at room temperature, protected from light during 12 months. Were evaluated the stability of jabuticaba´s peels passes and crystallized through physical, chemical and microbiological analyzes. Was determined proximate composition, soluble energy, solid value, total sugars, reducing and non-reducing sugars, pH, titratable acidity, anthocyanins, phenolic compounds, antioxidant potential, condensed tannins and hydrolysable color (a*, b*, L* and chroma), coliforms at 45º C , molds, yeasts and Salmonella sp. The levels of anthocyanins, phenolics and antioxidant potential were the most affected by temperature drying since these are sensitive to increasing temperature. As for microbiological analyzes, the product remained stable during the storage period. It can be concluded that dehydration of jabuticaba’s peel is a viable alternative to minimize the waste caused by large losses during the season as well as being a product of high nutritional value.application/pdfAcesso AbertoCo-produtosDesidrataçãoSecagemEstabilidadeCo-productsDehydrationDryingStabilityCIENCIA E TECNOLOGIA DE ALIMENTOS::ENGENHARIA DE ALIMENTOSDissertação
