Optimização através da superfície de resposta do processo de fermentação do cacau criollo na província de Utcubamba, Amazonas-Peru
Resumo
O processo de fermentação do cacau criollo nativo de aroma fino (Theobroma cacao) na província de Utcubamba, Amazonas, Peru, foi otimizado. Um projeto estatístico Box-Behnken foi aplicado com concentração de inóculos, tempo de fermentação e seqüência de inoculação como fatores. Com o modelo otimizado, foi obtido um conteúdo fenólico de 12,99 mg de cacau AGE.g-1, um índice de fermentação de 1,05, teobromina e cafeína de 4,89,100 g-1 de cacau e 1,81,100g-1 de cacau, respectivamente. Além disso, com um painel de nove provadores certificados e credenciados, foram determinados os atributos sensoriais básicos e os atributos descritivos qualitativos especiais das amêndoas de cacau fermentadas e secas, obtendo-se uma pontuação máxima de qualidade de 71,1 e foram identificados os descritores sensoriais florais, frutados, frutos secos, doces, amargos, acidez e adstringência. No cacau obtido com o melhor tratamento, 64 compostos voláteis das famílias de aldeídos, cetonas, álcoois, ésteres, ácidos e pirazinas foram identificados por cromatografia gasosa acoplada a um detector de massa com microextração de fase sólida (GC-MS-SPME-HS). Em conclusão, foi possível otimizar o processo de fermentação do cacau criollo para obter cacau com altas propriedades funcionais e sensoriais.
