Abstract:
Focus Group Discussions (FGD) is a renowned method for new food product development. This research used FGD followed by Quantitative Descriptive Analysis (QDA) and Affective Test (AT) to identify the sensory parameters of pineapple wine. Based on FGD, five parameters were found to be crucial for panelists while testing the wine, i.e. distinctive pineapple aroma, sweetness, alcoholic flavor, alcoholic taste and appearance. These five parameters were then used in QDA and AT to understand the expectation of panelists on the sample which was served. It was found that FGD, QDA and AT were effective in identifying the sensory parameters of pineapple wine

Abstract:
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of sucralose added in Greek Yogurt flavored with araticum (Annona crassiflora) and mangaba (Hancornia speciosa) through sensory characterization. The Greek yogurt was prepared with skimmed milk, inoculated starter cultures, filtered and it was supplemented with the appropriate amount of sucralose, added sweetened and pasteurized fruit pulp (araticum or mangaba). The total phenolic compounds and texture were performed and sensory analyses were carried out by Quantitative descriptive analysis (QDA) and acceptance test in storage for 7 and 28 days. The QDA results showed that the main attributes were color, lightness, creaminess, presence of particles, fullness, and aroma. Eighty percent and 85% of the panelists were said they would buy the araticum Greek yogurt and the mangaba Greek yogurt after 7 days of storage, respectively. Additionally, 71% and 77% were said they would buy the araticum Greek yogurt and the mangaba Greek yogurt after storage for 28 days at 4ºC, respectively. The sensory profile and acceptance test results of the Greek yogurts developed indicated no perceptions caused by adding sucralose to the yogurt after storage for different times. The highest concentration of phenolic compounds in the araticum Greek yogurt was perceived by the panelists in aroma and flavor attributes. Changing sucrose to sucralose was not imperceptible under the storage and consumption conditions.

Este trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar as características sensoriais, utilizando a análise descritiva quantitativa (QDA), de diferentes formulações de azeitonas verdes fermentadas por 120 dias com Lactobacillus plantarum ATCC 8014 ou culturas espontâneas (microbiota indígena). A fermentação foi realizada com solução salina em diferentes concentrações de sal (4 a 12%) e sacarose (0,1 a 0,7%). Foram avaliadas as análises químicas da solução de salmoura (pH, ácido lático e cloretos) e microbiológicas das azeitonas fermentadas. Os atributos organolépticos das azeitonas fermentadas foram avaliados por painel sensorial treinado em relação aos atributos visual, olfativo, cinestésico e paladar. Os resultados mostraram que a equipe treinada conseguia se lembrar e descrever atributos consensuais. Este estudo revelou que a fermentação de azeitonas com cultura espontânea com sacarose a 0,7% e NaCl a 12% apresentou os escores mais altos em termos de aroma, odor, crocância e menores escores no sabor amargo.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to determine the classic (static) and dynamic sensory profile of different bottled mineral water samples, and to evaluate the consumer’s liking of the products. Design/methodology/approach Classic quantitative descriptive analysis (QDA) and temporal dominance of sensations (TDS) were applied to four brands of bottled mineral water and the liking of the products was evaluated by consumers. Findings The dissolved mineral concentration is highly correlated to the liking and influences the sensory profile of the samples in a substantial way. The higher the mineral content, the lowest is the liking. Refreshing, residual plastic taste, musty, metallic taste, medicine taste and viscosity were relevant attributes to the samples differentiation through the static evaluation, while refreshing and viscosity were dominant in the dynamic monitoring. Some information might have been lost by the nature of the TDS method, based on dominance concept. Sweet taste contributed positively and musty taste negatively to the acceptance. Originality/value This paper demonstrated that TDS can be used as a complementary tool to the QDA, contributing to a deeper comprehension of the differences among samples, even in products with low differences, such as bottled mineral water.

Abstract:
This study compared the use of three sensory and analytical techniques: Quantitative Descriptive Analysis (QDA), Napping, and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) for the assessment of flavour in nine unmatured whisky spirits produced using different yeasts. Hierarchical Multiple Factor Analysis (HMFA) showed a similar pattern of sample discrimination (RV scores: 0.895–0.927) across the techniques: spirits were mostly separated by their Alcohol by Volume (ABV). Low ABV spirits tended to have heavier flavour characteristics (feinty, cereal, sour, oily, sulphury) than high ABV spirits, which were lighter in character (fruity, sweet, floral, solventy, soapy). QDA differentiated best between low ABV spirits and GC-MS between high ABV spirits, with Napping having the lowest resolution. QDA was time-consuming but provided quantitative flavour profiles of each spirit that could be readily compared. Napping, although quicker, gave an overview of the flavour differences of the spirits, while GC-MS provided semi-quantitative ratios of 96 flavour compounds for differentiating between spirits. Ester, arenes and certain alcohols were found in higher concentrations in high ABV spirits and other alcohols and aldehydes in low ABV spirits. The most comprehensive insights on spirit flavour differences produced by different yeast strains are obtained through the application of a combination of approaches.

Abstract:
Apesar da citricultura brasileira deter a liderança mundial na produção de laranjas e de suco de laranja concentrado congelado (FCOJ, frozen concentrated orange juice), observa-se baixo consumo no mercado interno de frutos e de suco in natura, o preferido pelo consumidor brasileiro. Assim, há grande interesse no desenvolvimento de produtos, técnicas de produção e conservação específica para variedades de laranja. As indústrias que produzem suco de laranja a partir do processamento da fruta in natura, conhecido como suco pasteurizado não proveniente do suco concentrado, Not From Concentrate (NFC), enfrentam sérios problemas tecnológicos. As frutas apresentam variabilidade química e sensorial devido às características intrínsecas, podendo variar o sabor e aroma devido às diferentes variedades disponíveis ao longo do ano. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi otimizar o processo da radiação gama em suco de laranja, escolhendo a melhor dose, a fim de reduzir a contagem microbiana e não comprometer as características sensoriais e físico-químicas do suco. Definidas as doses, o objetivo foi avaliar as características microbiológicas, físico-químicas e sensoriais do suco de laranja proveniente de três variedades cítricas, submetido aos processos de pasteurização e irradiação e desenvolver uma terminologia descritiva e o perfil sensorial de suco de laranja. As amostras foram avaliadas por uma equipe treinada de nove provadores e avaliadas quanto à aceitação, com escala hedônica de sete pontos por cinquenta provadores. Tendo em vista os resultados obtidos, a radiação gama e a pasteurização contribuíram para a redução das contagens microbiológicas. No entanto, sensorialmente, os tratamentos com 4,5 e 6,0 kGy foram considerados abaixo do limite de aceitabilidade, quanto ao sabor e à impressão global. As doses estudadas mostraram reduzido impacto sobre as características físico-químicas, independente das variedades cítricas. O tratamento com 3,0 kGy resultou em suco com aroma e sabor acentuado de remédio e cozido, que provavelmente terão influência negativa na aceitabilidade do produto<br>The Brazilian citrus is the global leader in production of oranges and frozen concentrated orange juice (FCOJ) there is low domestic consumption of fruits and fresh juice, preferred by brazilian consumers. Thus, there is a great interest by development of products, processes and specific conservation to the cultivation of citrus varieties for the juice\'s production. The industries produce orange juice from the fresh fruit processing, known as pasteurized juice not from concentrate juice (NFC), have serious technological problems. The fruits have chemical and sensory variability due to intrinsic characteristics and can vary the flavor and smell of orange juice because the different varieties available throughout the year. The aim of this study was to optimize the process of gamma radiation in orange juice, picking the best dosage in order to reduce microbiological count and that doesn\'t compromise the sensory characteristics and physicochemical juice. Defined dosages, the objective was to evaluate the microbiological, physicochemical and sensory orange juice from different varieties subjected to pasteurization and irradiation and develop a descriptive terminology and sensory profile of orange juice. The sensorial attributes analysed in this study were appearance, smell, flavor and texture. The samples were evaluated by a trained painel of nine tasters and evaluated for acceptance, with seven-point hedonic scale for fifty tasters. In view of these results, gamma radiation and pasteurisation contributed to the reduction of microbiological counts. However, sensory, treatments with 4.5 and 6.0 kGy were considered the limit of acceptability for flavor and overall impression. The doses studied showed little impact on the physical and chemical characteristics, independent of the citrus varieties. Treatment with 3.0 kGy resulted in juice with aroma and sharp taste of medicine and baked, which will probably have a negative influence on the acceptability of the product

Abstract:
Este trabalho avaliou os efeitos de diferentes períodos de armazenamento do leite de cabra in natura sobre a qualidade do produto em pó. Foram avaliadas as alterações microbiológicas, físico-químicas e bioquímicas do leite cru e a influência nas características microbiológicas, físicas, bioquímicas e sensoriais do leite em pó durante o armazenamento por 0, 60, 120 e 180 dias. Foram realizados 3 ensaios idênticos nos quais cerca de 105 L de leite de cabra recém-ordenhado foram igualmente divididos em 3 partes e armazenados a temperatura controlada de 4 ºC por até 5 dias. Nos dias 1, 3 e 5 após a coleta do leite in natura, uma alíquota de 500 mL foi coletada para a realização das análises. O restante da fração (aproximadamente 35L) foi submetido à pasteurização (65 ºC por 30 min), concentração sob vácuo (40% de sólidos totais) e secagem por atomização. Os lotes de leite de cabra em pó obtidos foram avaliados através de análises de composição (umidade, teores de proteína, gordura, lactose e cinzas), dispersibilidade, cor, atividade de água, índice de peróxidos, atividades proteolítica e lipolítica e análise sensorial por uma equipe de provadores treinados. Foram observados efeitos (P < 0,05) do período de armazenamento do leite in natura e/ou do leite em pó, ou mesmo interação destes efeitos sobre determinadas características durante o armazenamento do leite em pó, como: aumento linear das populações de micro-organismos mesófilos, psicrotróficos lipolíticos e psicrotróficos proteolíticos do leite in natura, aumento da intensidade da cor branca (L*) do leite em pó, da atividade lipolítica e da oxidação do leite em pó. Também foram observados efeitos (P < 0,05) em características sensoriais como: redução da coloração amarela do pó de do leite reconstituído, aumento do odor cáprico e dos sabores rançoso e amargo do leite reconstituído. Considerando-se a avaliação global das variáveis estudadas, recomenda-se que o período de armazenamento a 4 oC do leite de cabra in natura não ultrapasse 3 dias, para que ocorra a preservação da qualidade do leite de cabra em pó por até 180 dias.<br>This study evaluated the effects of different storage periods of raw goat milk on the quality of the powder product. Alterations in microbiological and physical-chemical properties of raw milk and their influence on the microbiological, physical, biochemical and sensory characteristics of milk powder during storage for 0, 60, 120 and 180 days were evaluated. There were 3 identical tests in which about 105 L of recently milked goat milk were divided into 3 parts and stored at controlled temperature of 4 ºC for up 5 days. On days 1, 3 and 5 after storage, an aliquot (500 mL) of raw milk was collected to perform microbiological, physico-chemical and biochemical analysis. The remaining fraction (about 35 L) was subjected to pasteurization (65 ºC for 30 min), vacuum concentration (40% of total solids) and spray drying. The powders produced were evaluated through analysis of composition (moisture, protein, fat, lactose and ash), dispersibility, color, water activity, granulometry, peroxide value, proteolytic and lipolytic activities and sensory analysis by a selected team of panelists. Effects of storage of raw milk or/and powdered milk or their interaction were observed (P <0.05) on certain characteristics during storage of milk powder, as the increasing of mesophilic, lipolytic psychrotrophic and proteolytic psychrotrophic microorganisms populations in raw milk, increasing of the white color (L*), the lipolytic activity and the peroxide value of milk powder. There were also observed effects (P < 0.05) on sensory characteristics such as decreasing of yellow color of milk powder and reconstituted milk, increasing of capric smell, rancid and bitter flavour of reconstituted milk. Considering the overall evaluation of studied variables, it\'s recommended that the raw goat milk storage at 4 oC does not exceed 3 days to preserve the quality of goat milk powder until 180 days.

Abstract:
Le moulage par compression du SMC est une technologie de mise en oeuvre des polymères réactifs renforcés de fibres coupées pour fabriquer une pièce en matériau composite. Le matériau SMC déposé et chauffé dans un moule métallique monté sous presse est mis en mouvement par la compression qu’il subit. Le matériau s’écoule dans la cavité et polymérise pour obtenir la forme finale. L'état final d'orientation des fibres joue un rôle important dans les performances mécaniques de la pièce SMC. L'adaptation de la forme, de la position de la charge SMC dans le moule, ainsi que de la microstructure du matériau dans la pièce finale permet d'optimiser à la fois les propriétés structurelles de la pièce et le procédé de fabrication. Un besoin majeur est de comprendre comment l’écoulement du matériau impacte les caractéristiques mécaniques des pièces moulées. Dans cette thèse, un modèle numérique 2.5D non isotherme qui inclut les dernières contributions théoriques de la modélisation des écoulements de suspensions a été développé. Les prédictions des modèles sont comparées aux observations expérimentales et aux propriétés mécaniques sur des échantillons à l'échelle du laboratoire, mais aussi sur des pièces SMC produites à l'échelle industrielle. Il est démontré que les modèles théoriques actuels ne peuvent pas saisir certains mécanismes identifiés dans la compression SMC à l'échelle industrielle. Parmi eux, le comportement asymétrique du matériau ainsi que sa très forte transformation au cours de l’écoulement sont mis en évidence et discutés<br>Compression moulding of SMC is a processing technology for reactive polymers reinforced with chopped fibres in a composite material. It involves both the flow and deformation of the raw material to transform it into its final shape, thanks of heat and pressure applied to a matched metal moulds mounted under press. The final fibre orientation state plays an important role in the mechanical performance of the SMC part. Adapting the shape and position of SMC charge in the mould, as well the material microstructure in the final part leads to an optimization of both structural properties of the part and manufacturing process. A major need is to understand how the flow affects the structural characteristics of moulded parts. In this thesis a 2.5D non-isothermal numerical model that includes the latest theoretical contributions to the squeeze flow modeling has been developed. Model predictions are compared with physical observations and mechanical properties on lab-scale specimens but also on industrial-scale SMC parts. It is shown that the current theoretical models cannot captured some mechanisms revealed by the industrial-scale SMC compression. Among them, the asymmetric behaviour of the material as well as its strong transformation during the flow, are highlighted and discussed

As amostras de contrafilé, porção compreendida da 12º costela e a 2º vértebra lombar, de meias carcaças esquerdas de bovinos da raça Angus, da mesma idade e acabamento de gordura, foram coletadas e congeladas (-20ºC). Cada peça foi cortada em seis bifes de 2.54 cm, que foram embalados a vácuo e mantidos congelados. Os bifes foram distribuídos em seis tratamentos. Para a cocção, os bifes foram descongelados a 4°C por 24 horas antes das análises. As temperaturas internas foram monitoradas por meio de termopares inseridos no centro geométrico de cada bife. Para a perda de peso por cocção, houve interação significativa do método de cocção X temperatura interna final (p=0.002). O aumento da temperatura aumentou constantemente as perdas por cocção em ambos os métodos de cocção, de 65ºC para 77ºC. A 65ºC e 71ºC as perdas por cocção foram similares entre forno e chapa, enquanto a 77ºC, as amostras assadas no forno tiveram as maiores perdas, provavelmente devido ao longo tempo de preparo. Para a força de cisalhamento, não houve interação do método de cocção X temperatura interna final (p=0.54). Os bifes preparados a 65°C e 71ºC tiveram menores valores de WBSF (p<0,05), enquanto que aqueles preparados a 77°C tiveram valores maiores (p<0,05). Na análise de aceitação, a aparência, o aroma e o sabor tiveram maior aceitação nas amostras preparadas no forno elétrico em temperaturas mais altas, entretanto a maciez e a suculência tiveram maior aceitação nas amostras preparadas em temperaturas mais baixas, independente do método de cocção. Os bifes grelhados na chapa elétrica a 65°C foram melhores, porque proporcionaram a obtenção de uma amostra com aceitação significativamente superior em relação a todas as características sensoriais analisadas. Na Análise Descritiva Quantitativa, os bifes do forno e da chapa a 65°C foram principalmente caracterizados pelos atributos de aroma e sabor de sangue, sabor metálico, suculência, maciez, suculência aparente e cor interna vermelha. Na análise tempo-intensidade, a Imáx do estímulo maciez e suculência foi significativamente maior (p<0,05) no forno elétrico em relação à chapa elétrica. E em relação às temperaturas a Imáx das amostras submetidas a 65 e 71ºC não diferiram (p>0,05), mas diferiram (p<0,05) das amostras a 77ºC. O Ttot não foi diferente (p>0,05) para as amostras nos métodos de cocção e nas temperaturas internas finais para os estímulos de maciez e suculência. Portanto sugere-se que as diferenças encontradas pelos assessores na maciez e suculência das amostras, foram percebidas somente a primeira mordida (Imáx). E durante a mastigação até a fase de deglutição (Ttot) não variaram, indicando que as amostras permaneceram igualmente homogêneas em relação aos dois atributos após a primeira mordida<br>Abstract: Two cooking methods (oven and griddles) and three end-point temperatures (65, 71 and 77°C) were applied in beef strip loin (m. longissimus lumborum), to assess which of the procedures provides a product with superior descriptive sensory profile in order to the sensory quality. Strip loin samples with the similar degree of fat thickness from the 12th rib to the second lumbar vertebra of the left side of the carcass of similarly age Angus steers were collected and frozen (-20ºC). Each piece was cut into six 2.54 cm thick steaks. The steaks remained vacuum packed and frozen. For cooking, the steaks were thawed at 4°C for 24 hours. The internal temperatures were monitored by thermocouples inserted in the geometric center of each steak. The interaction between cooking method and end-point temperature had a significant (P=0.002) impact on cooking loss. The increasing end-point temperature, constantly increase levels of cooking loss in both cooking methods, from 65ºC to 77ºC. At 65ºC and 71ºC the cooking loss were similar between oven and griddle, while at 77ºC the oven had the great loss, probably due to the long cooking. The interaction between cooking method and end-point temperature did not significantly impact (P=0.54) shear force. The steaks prepared at 65°C and 71ºC had lower (P<0.05) shear force values, while those prepared at 77°C had higher values (P<0.05). In acceptance analysis of appearance, aroma and flavor, samples cooked in electric oven, at higher temperatures, had the greater acceptance, however the tenderness and juiciness had greater acceptance in samples prepared at lower temperatures, regardless the method of cooking. Steaks grilled on the counter-top griddles at 65°C yielded a sample with a significantly greater acceptability in terms of all of the sensory characteristics analyzed. For Descriptive Quantitative Analysis, steaks prepared in oven and griddles at 65°C were mainly characterized by a blood aroma and flavor, a metallic flavor, juiciness, initial tenderness, apparent juiciness and internal red color. In the time-intensity analysis, the Imax values for tenderness and juiciness stimuli was higher (P<0.05) for the samples subjected to the electric oven as compared to the electric griddles. Regarding the temperatures, although the Imax for tenderness and juiciness of the samples subjected to temperatures of 65 and 71ºC were not different (P>0.05), it differed (P<0.05) from the samples at 77ºC. The Ttot value was not different (P>0.05) for both cooking methods and end-point temperatures in relation to the stimuli tenderness and juiciness. It can be suggested that the differences on tenderness and juiciness found by the assessors were noted only at first bite (Imax). Perception of tenderness and juiciness during chewing to swallowing (Ttot) did not vary, indicating that the samples remained homogeneous for both attributes after the first bite<br>Doutorado<br>Consumo e Qualidade de Alimentos<br>Doutora em Alimentos e Nutrição

Porém, os consumidores querem desfrutar de produtos que não apenas saciem a fome e a sede, mas que ofereçam vantagens nutricionais, segurança e qualidade sensorial. Os consumidores estão conscientes da importância de dietas e estilo de vida saudáveis. Alimentos com reduzido teor ou isentos de gorduras e açúcares auxiliam na adequação da dieta e na promoção da saúde. Os leites fermentados, por exemplo, o iogurte, vêm recebendo especial atenção pelas indústrias de alimentos e estão sendo muito procurados pelos consumidores de todas as idades, gêneros e classes sócio-econômicas, pois são nutritivos, práticos e de rápido consumo, além de poderem ser excelentes veículos de probióticos, tornando-os alimentos funcionais. Isso justifica o presente trabalho que teve por principal objetivo adoçar iogurte natural desnatado batido com edulcorantes na concentração equivalente à ideal de sacarose para que as fórmulas diet se apresentassem sensorialmente iguais ou similares à com sacarose. Determinou-se, primeiramente, a concentração ideal de sacarose pelo método de consumidor de doçura ideal utilizando-se da Escala-do-Ideal. Em seguida, determinou-se a equivalência em doçura do aspartame, sucralose, acessulfame-K, mistura sacarina/ciclamato (1:2), extrato de folha de estévia (Stevia 1) (53,7% esteviosídeo; 24,8% rebaudiosídeo A) e extrato de folha de estévia (Stevia 2) (15,3% esteviosídeo; 49,7% rebaudiosídeo A) pelo teste de Estimação de Magnitude com equipe treinada. As concentrações de sacarose, aspartame, sucralose, acessulfame K, mistura sacarina/ciclamato (1:2), Stevia 1 e Stevia 2 usadas, foram, respectivamente, em porcentagem (p/v): 9,7%, 0,0551%, 0,0223%, 0,0608%, 0,0520%, 0,1445% e 0,1588%. As amostras foram submetidas à Análise Descritiva Quantitativa (ADQ) para que fosse possível traçar seus perfis sensoriais. Utilizou-se painel de 10 julgadores treinados para os descritores de Aparência (Cor Branco-Amarelada, Viscosidade), Aroma (Aroma de Iogurte); Sabor (Doçura, Acidez, Amargor, Sabor de Iogurte, "Gosto de Remédio") e Textura (Homogeneidade, Cremosidade). Concluiu-se que os edulcorantes estudados conferiram perfil sensorial semelhante ao da sacarose no iogurte. Apenas os extratos de estévia conferiram amargor e "gosto de remédio" e reduziram a percepção de doçura e sabor de iogurte. Por fim, conduziu-se análise de aceitação por 120 consumidores do produto para aparência, aroma, sabor, textura e impressão global. Os consumidores também responderam questionário sobre consumo de iogurte e alimentos dietéticos e expressaram seu grau de aceitação pelas amostras em escalas hedônicas lineares não estruturadas de 9cm. Além disso, responderam à intenção de compra em escala de atitude de 5 categorias. Paralelamente à aceitação, realizou-se medidas instrumentais de cor, viscosidade, pH, acidez total titulável e sólidos totais, permitindo a comparação entre os dados sensoriais e instrumentais. Os resultados, de forma geral, indicaram que os extratos de estévia não são indicados para uso em iogurte natural desnatado batido e precisam ser melhorados para ter sucesso na substituição total da sacarose. A sucralose e o aspartame são os edulcorantes que mais se aproximaram do perfil sensorial da sacarose e foram igualmente aceitos pelos consumidores assim como a amostra com sacarose, sendo, portanto, os mais indicados para uso nesse produto. Os edulcorantes também não influenciaram as medidas físico-químicas do iogurte quando comparados com o iogurte puro e com sacarose (padrões). Pode-se dizer, portanto, que é possível a substituição da sacarose por edulcorantes intensos. Porém, os extratos de estévia devem ser reformulados e, provavelmente, usados em misturas de edulcorantes para que sua aplicação na indústria de alimentos seja bem sucedida<br>Abstract: The market of "ready to eat/drink" foods and beverages is expanding. However, consumers want to enjoy products that will not only satisfy their hunger and thirst but also offer nutritional advantage, safety and sensory quality. Nowadays, consumers are well aware of the importance of healthy eating habits and lifestyles. Foods with low content or even free of fats and sugar help people to adequate diet and promote good health. Fermented milks like yogurt have been receiving special attention by the food industries and have become more and more popular among consumers of all ages, genders and walks of life, as they are nutritional, practical and easy to consume, besides being excellent vehicles for probiotic microorganism, which makes yogurts functional foods. That all justifies this study the object of which was to sweeten natural skimmed shaken yogurt using different sweeteners in equivalence to the ideal concentration of sucrose in order that the diet formulas would taste as close to the original as possible. Firstly, ideal sweetness was determined by the Just-About-Right scale using 30 consumers of the product. Secondly, the equivalence in sweetness and the sweetening power in relation to sucrose was determined by Magnitude Estimation method using 12 judges. The ideal sweetness of sucrose to this yogurt was 9,7%. The sweetening power was equal to 176 (Aspartame), 67,1 (Stevia 1), 61,1 (Stevia 2), 435 (Sucralose), 186,5 (Saccharine/Cyclamate 1:2) and 159,5 (Acessulfame-K). The seven samples of yogurt obtained were submitted to Quantitative Descriptive Analysis (QDA) so that their sensory profile could be determined. A panel made up of 10 judges was trained for the descriptive terms of Appearance (Yellowish-white color, Viscosity), Aroma (Yogurt aroma), Flavor (Sweetness, Sourness, Bitterness, Yogurt flavor, Medicine taste) and Texture (Homogeneity, Creaminess).The results showed almost all sweetener gave yogurt sensory profile similar to sucrose. Only the Stevia extracts gave it a bitter and medicine-like taste and reduced the perception of sweetness and yogurt flavor. Finally, acceptance analysis was performed among 120 consumers of natural yogurt concerning Appearance, Aroma, Flavor, Texture and Overall Impression. Consumers were requested to answer a questionnaire about yogurt consumption and expressed their liking using a using non-structured linear hedonic scale of 9cm. Besides, they indicated their purchase intention of each sample by using a 5-point attitude scale. In addition to sensory analysis, physical-chemical measurements of pH, total acidity, total solids and viscosity were carried out, which enabled a comparison between the sensory and the instrumental data. The overall results showed that the Stevia extracts are not recommended for natural yogurt. They should be improved so that they can successfully replace sucrose. Sucralose and aspartame are the sweeteners that come closest to the sensory profile of sucrose and the ones that were accepted by consumers as well as sucrose. Therefore, they are the best choice for this kind of yogurt. Also these sweeteners did not influence physical-chemical measurements of the yogurt when compared to the same yogurt with or without sugar that is the standard. It is possible to say that the substitution of sucrose for intense sweeteners is viable and it fulfils nutritional and sensory consumer's needs<br>Mestrado<br>Consumo e Qualidade de Alimentos<br>Mestre em Alimentos e Nutrição

Abstract:
Bakgrund Deskriptiv sensorisk analys (DSA) syftar till att beskriva sensoriska egenskaper (attribut) hos livsmedelslprodukter. En bedömarpanel analyserar ett produktprov genom att identifiera, namnge och mäta intensiteten hos ett antal attribut. Syfte Syftet med undersökningen var att studera hur attribut identifieras, beskrivs och presenteras inom vetenskaplig tillämpning av DSA. Metod Sjuttiofyra artiklar, publicerade i vetenskapliga tidskrifter mellan 1974 och 2019, analyserades kvantitativt med hjälp av deskriptiv statistik. Sjutton variabler användes för datainsamling. Samband mellan variablerna analyserades med hjälp av statistiska tester. Resultat Av artiklarna var 96 % publicerade i tidskrifter utan specifik inriktning mot sensorisk analys. I två tredjedelar av artiklarna tillämpades generisk deskriptiv analys (GDA). I fler än hälften av artiklarna avvek panelen från vad som rekommenderas kring bedömarantal eller tid för träning. I snitt användes 1,4 ord för namngivning av attributen. I hälften av artiklarna definierades inte attributen. I två tredjedelar av artiklarna presenterades inte några referensprodukter för att illustrera skalstegen. I tre fjärdedelar av artiklarna presenterades attributen i metodbeskrivningen. Meddelandelen substantiv var 68,2 % och 31 % adjektiv. En måttlig negativ korrelation mellan andelen substantiv och tiden för träning av bedömarpanelen var statistiskt signifikant. Slutsats I många vetenskapliga studier utförs DSA utan att gällande rekommendationer kring bedömarpanelen följs. I artiklar publicerade i vetenskapliga tidskrifter presenteras attributen inprecist nog att ifrågasätta användbarheten hos resultaten. Att ge den kvalitativa delen av undersökningen, identifiering och namngivning av attributen, status resultat skulle kunna öka intresset för att definiera attributen och illustrera skalstegen, vilket är en förutsättning för att tolka det kvantitativa resultatet (intensitetsmätningen) på ett meningsfullt sätt.<br>Background Descriptive sensory analysis (DSA) aims to describe the sensory attributes of food products. A panel of assessors analyze a sample of the product to identify and name a set of attributes and estimate their intensity. Objective The aim of the study was to research how attributes are identified, described and presented in the scientific use of DSA. Method By using descriptive statistics, 74 articles published in scientific journals between 1974 and 2019 were analyzed quantitatively. Data collection was conducted using 17 variables. Correlations between variables and differences between groups were analyzed using statistical tests. Results Of the articles 96 % were published in non-sensory-specific journals. Generic descriptive analysis (GDA) was used in two thirds of the articles. In more than half of the articles the number of assessors, or the time spent on assessor training, differed from what is recommended. An avarage of 1.4 descriptive words were used to name each attribute. In half of the articles no definitions of the attributes were given. In two thirds of the articles no reference products were presented to illustrate the attributes or different points of the scale. In three quarters of the articles the attributes were presentet in the section of method description, and not the results. The avarage share of nouns was 68.2 % and 31 % adjectives. A moderate negative correlation between the share of nouns and the time spent on panel training was significant. Conclusion Sometimes DSA is used without panel recommendations being followed. There are scientific articles where the sensory attributes are presented vaguely enough to question the usability of the results. To interperet naming of the sensory attributes as a qualitative results could motivate a more defined presentation, which would benefit the quantitative result (intensity assesment) by explaining what is meassured.

Abstract:
A sociolinguist who has gathered so much data that it has become difficult to make sense of the raw observations can turn to graphical presentation, and to descriptive statistics, techniques for distilling a collection of data into a few key numerical values, allowing the researcher to focus on specific, meaningful properties of the data set. A sociolinguist evaluates hypotheses about the connections between linguistic behavior, speakers, and society. The researcher begins this process by gathering data with the potential to falsify the hypotheses under consideration. Inferential statistics allow the researcher to compute the probability that a hypothesized property of the data is due to chance, and to estimate the magnitude of the hypothesized effect. This chapter compares inferential methods appropriate for sociolinguistic data in terms of these assumptions. It examines elements of qualitative analysis and methods for binary analysis, multinomial variables, and continuous variables.

Abstract:
This chapter deals with quantitative analysis, and especially description and inference. It introduces the reader to the principles of quantitative research and offers a step-by-step guide on how to use and interpret a range of commonly used techniques. The first part of the chapter considers the building blocks of quantitative analysis, with particular emphasis on different ways of summarizing data, both graphically and with tables, and ways of describing the distribution of one variable using univariate statistics. Two important measures are discussed: the mean and the standard deviation. After elaborating on descriptive statistics, the chapter explores inferential statistics and explains how to make generalizations. It also presents the concept of confidence intervals, more commonly known as the margin of error, and measures of central tendency.

This chapter focuses on various types of study design used in clinical and healthcare research with an emphasis on observational studies whilst randomised controlled trials are explained in Chapter 15. Within observational studies, the distinction between descriptive and analytical studies is made and different sources of error in epidemiological studies are reviewed. Main features, advantages and disadvantages of analytical observational studies are described for the following designs: ecological studies, cohort studies, case-control studies and cross-sectional studies. A brief overview of experimental studies is also given. Measures of disease occurrence (prevalence, cumulative incidence, incidence rate) as well as effect measures (1.difference measures, ie. attributable risk, and 2. ratio measures, i.e. relative risk, odds ratio, relative risk reduction, attributable fraction) are reviewed. The chapter also presents major characteristics of meta-analysis.

Abstract:
It is now well accepted that communication between the health professional and the patient is a critical component of quality patient care, and that poor communication can adversely affect both patient and health professional outcomes. However, audits of doctor and nurse communication with patients have consistently revealed deficits, prompting the growth of communication skills training for both junior and senior clinicians, and the publication of communication guidelines for various challenging situations. Interaction analysis systems (IAS) enable the analysis of communication between the doctor, patient, family, and other health professionals in a qualitative and quantitative fashion. They are used as descriptive and outcome measures in research into medical communication, as well as to provide feedback to individual clinicians on their behaviour. Two types of IAS can be identified: ‘content’ systems, which describe task-oriented behaviour; and ‘process’ systems, which measure socio-emotional behaviour. This chapter describes and compares a variety of IAS.

Abstract:
This chapter provides a grounding in basic statistics, descriptive epidemiology, analytical epidemiology, and hypothesis testing appropriate for health protection practitioners. The analysis of categorical data using frequency distributions, and charts, and the interpretation of epidemic curves is described. The description of quantitative data including central tendency, standard deviation, and interquartile range is concisely explained. The role of geographical information systems and different disease map types is used to demonstrate how disease clusters may be detected. Determining possible association between specific risk factors and outcome is described in the section on analytical epidemiology, using the risk ratio and the odds ratio. The use of these in different study/investigation types is explained. The importance of confounding, matching, and standardization in study design is described. The final part of the chapter covers hypothesis testing to distinguish between real differences and chance variation, and the use of confidence intervals.

Abstract:
This study addresses the issue of literacy and literacy in the early years of elementary school, considering the classes with regular and multi-grade education, starting from an analysis of pedagogical practices developed in the classroom, with relevant aspects such as: initial education and continuing of teachers, relating to the practices carried out in the school environment and at work with literacy and literacy. The objective was to analyze which factors influence the development of pedagogical practices from the perspective of literacy and literacy in the early years of elementary school in regular and multi-grade classes in the city of Pombal-PB. The methodology used starts from a descriptive study with qualitative and quantitative approach, characterized as a field research and having as research instruments structured questionnaires with open and closed questions, in an attempt to get as close to the reality of the object of study as possible analysis and reflection of the collected data and the contribution of some authors on the aborted theme. It was found with field research that several factors influence the development of pedagogical practice, such as: lack of teacher training programs that contribute to the relationship between theory and practice, more effective family participation in school and organization of teaching. meet the needs of the teaching and learning process with smaller classes not organized in multi-grade education. It is hoped that the present study can contribute to important discussions about pedagogical practices focused on the teacher's work and the process of literacy and literacy, with influence on the academic environments, the pedagogical practice of teachers and the different contexts that involve actions turned on the teaching and learning process.

Abstract:
Ecclesiology is the study of the church and has two focal points; the one is the historical and doctrinal perspective on the church, and the other is the church as situated in a local context in the sense of the local practices of actual congregations. The ecclesiology or, more correctly, the ecclesiologies of this volume mainly focuses on the second aspect, i.e., understanding the local congregation or parish as a community of believers. A congregation may firstly be described by posing a theological question: What is the local missional church or congregation all about? This question may be answered from different perspectives, but it remains essential to answer it from a theological perspective. The first five chapters in this book focus mainly on a theological understanding of the congregation. This is done from different disciplines within the study field of theology. Congregations are, secondly, social realities and should be described and analysed through an analytical or empirical lens, or, to answer the question attached to the first empirical-descriptive task of practical theology, “What is going on?”. The remaining chapters use a quantitative and qualitative lens and give an empirical analysis of the congregation. The intention is to critically reflect on the church and congregations’ ecclesiology from a theological and analytical perspective with an emphasis on the South African context. It wants to map markers for the development of contemporary ecclesiologies, and the different chapters are meant as mirrors to look in and reflect on the theological and contextual relevance of denominations and congregations in South Africa.

This work offers a descriptive and quantitative picture of the property owned by the socio-economic elite of Bari, the only one of the three present great cities of Southern Italy analysable for the Modern Age, given the exemption granted to Naples and Palermo as capitals of the kingdoms of Naples and Sicily. The analysis on the 1598 apprezzo and the 1753 catasto has allowed to identify and estimate the wealth of the wealthiest families of Bari, and to show the social composition of its main families. From this analysis it emerged also that, during this century and a half, the number of patrician families in Bari halved in favor of those that “lived nobly”, with more substantial assets to replace the patriciate, among them those of foreigners from Ferrara and Lombardy.

Abstract:
Purpose – to investigate the possible influence of bitcoins and the Blockchain on exchange rates of selected fiat currencies by using quantitative analysis methods. Research methodology – the importance, risks/opportunities are examined by studying scientific literature regarding cryptocurrencies and decentralization. The influence of bitcoins itself is examined by using regression analysis, ANOVA, descriptive statistics, correlation matrix, and VIF. Findings – impart negative relation between Bitcoin money supply and exchange rates (USD/EUR) and a positive relation between Bitcoin inflation rate and exchange rates (USD/EUR). However, the actual influence is too negligible to make any significant affection for the conventional financial sector yet digitalization and decentralization are imminent. Research limitations – only a few analyses have been conducted in a quantitative manner regarding cryptocurrencies impact. The influence of cryptocurrencies increased from 2011; phenomenon lacks long time data and examples to conduct an analysis model that applies to all assumptions without exceptions. Practical implications – enterprises can embrace decentralization and digital money to keep up with the fast-growing market changes, improve transparency, and reduce costs. Close relation with fintech is indispensable; it promotes economic growth and accelerates the development of advanced operating practices. Originality/Value – the interest in digital money and peer-to-peer payments constantly occupy greater importance of financial market and trading manner. Their influence is widely discussed but lacks quantitative researches based on actual historical data

Abstract A large number of incidents occurred in the petrochemical industry due to the continuous accumulation and frequent transfer of dangerous substances. For these historical incident data, a lot of efforts have been made to analyze how and why incidents occurred by use of descriptive statistics, while scarce work was done to in-depth explore the performance characteristics of the causal factors related to different types of incidents. This paper focuses on the relative importance of different causal factors for different types of incidents. A total of 1144 incidents related to tank farms of China during the period 1960–2018 were collected and classified with regard to the intuitive consequences of incidents (fire &amp; explosion, material loss, quality variations, equipment damage and personnel harm) and whether the domino effect was involved (domino incidents and non-domino incidents). The causal factors were classified into five major categories and subdivided into fifteen subcategories. The interaction analysis of each factor with the specific consequence type was performed. The method of logistic regression was used to quantify the relative probability of different causal factors for different types of incidents and to determine which factors have a significant effect on triggering the domino incidents. It is found that human factors and organization/management factors were more common causal factors to lead to different consequences, and the same causal factor has distinct effects on the probability of occurrence for different types of incidents. The results highlight the more critical risk factors for each type of incident and the method can be applied to provide guidance on incident prevention and safety protection.

Abstract:
University dropout is one of the main problems of the Spanish university system due to its high rates. The latest report issued by the Ministry of Science and Innovation (MICINN, 2020) shows that more than 30% of students drop out of an undergraduate degree program. In order to explore the phenomenon, in line with the scientific literature, we have focused on identifying personal and family variables associated with university dropout. Using an ex post facto, quantitative, descriptive and causal design methodology, we observed significant relationships between the dependent variable “completion of university degree” and the independent variables “age”, “marital status” and “number of siblings”. In agreement with other researches (Belloc et al, 2010; Diaz Peralta, 2008; Lizarte Simon, 2017) we conclude that university dropout is a multicausal phenomenon that needs to be fully understood. This will allow to maximize the use of resources allocated to higher education and optimize university access, permanence and quality policies.

Abstract:
Abstract The lack of established acceptance criteria has been one of the key challenges to the application of quantitative risk assessment (QRA) techniques in the Canadian pipeline industry. While a wide range of such criteria have been developed and published, it remains difficult for most operators to commit to specific criteria because such criteria may not be acceptable to all stakeholders. Recognizing this limitation, the Canadian Standards Association formed a Risk Management Task Force (RMTF) under the Technical Committee for the Z662 Standard on the Oil and Gas Pipeline Systems to propose criteria for potential inclusion in its non-mandatory Annex on Risk Assessment. This paper describes the criteria that have been developed by the RMTF and provides the background information needed for users to understand and use them correctly. The discussion includes: a summary of the measures used to quantify the safety risk associated with an ignited product release; a summary of established international and Canadian criteria that have been considered; a description and interpretation of the ALARP (As Low As Reasonably Practicable) principle; and the rationale used by the RMTF to select specific individual risk and societal risk criteria for CSA Z662. The proposed criteria are also compared to the criteria underpinning other risk-based parts of the Z662 Standard, including Annexes C and O. Guidance is provided on the analysis assumptions, methods and parameters required to ensure that the risk calculations produce results that are consistent with the definition and intent of the criteria. Key issues addressed by the guidance include the definition of individual risk (i.e. location risk versus personal risk), the pipeline length over which the frequency versus number of fatalities (F-N) relationship representing societal risk is calculated, and the effect of population density averaging over the pipeline length.

Abstract:
Google is a popular Web 2.0 tools with many interesting facilities and applications. Like many other Web 2.0 tools, Google classroom has potential for teaching and learning due to its unique built-in functions that offer pedagogical, social and technological affordances. With this in mind, Google classroom as an open-source learning platform created in 2015 to simplify and enhance user collaboration, was considered a prominent technology tool used to enhance teaching and learning at a particular University in Rwanda. This study adopts a quantitative descriptive design to investigate university students' Google classroom experiences in Rwanda after participating in an online STEM education course. Data were collected using questionnaires sent to students via a Google form link. The collected data were analyzed using frequency and descriptive analysis. The study has generally confirmed that students have a positive cognitive, affective, and behavioural attitude towards Google classroom use. The study also revealed immediate feedback, accessibility, user-friendliness, collaboration, effective and efficient communication as positive experiences recognized by students using Google classroom in their online STEM education course. Nevertheless, students faced problems such as poor internet connection, lack of technology to access the classroom, insufficient time to submit tasks, lecturers inadequate and untimely response to students’ questions, isolated learning, poor knowledge about the user interface, inadequate skills on how to use the classroom. To further encourage the use of google classroom particularly as a learning management system in Rwandan universities and other universities across Africa, findings from this study recommends that education institutions provide students and lecturers with adequate training and platform on how to use the google classroom interface, improve ICT infrastructures, lecturers’ use of video chat or asynchronous mode to provide adequate and timely feedback to students within stipulated virtual office hours, ensure quality course content.
