Resumo: |
In Brazil, is traditional the consumption of plain tropical fruit juices bottled in glass or PET materials. The packaging materials are essential to protect the food product and to preserve its inherent quality during the storage. However sorption phenomena from food to packaging materials and the migration phenomena from packaging to the food may alter the product’s sensory quality. The objective of the present work was to evaluate the stability of passion fruit juices bottled in glass (used as reference) and PET materials during 120 days storage, regarding to the volatile compounds profile, physicalchemical and sensory properties (aroma and flavor). Bottles from the same production batch were purchased in local supermarkets (Fortaleza-CE, Brazil) and submitted to chemical, sensory and chromatographic analyses. Juices were characterized by determination of pH, soluble solids, total titrable acidity, ascorbic acid, color, total and reducing sugars. The characteristic passion fruit aroma and flavor were evaluated by a trained panel with a nine-cm nonstructured scale. The volatile compounds were isolated using a dynamic headspace technique by suction, in Porapak Q, analyzed by high resolution gas chromatography (FID) and identified by GC-MS. Five odoriferous compounds, according to the literature, were monitored: E-3-hexenol (passion fruit, fruity), Z- 3-hexenol (passion fruit, green), ethyl butanoate (fruity, sweet), ethyl hexanoate (fruity, sweet) and benzaldehyde (green). Both juices showed good chemical stability during the storage period, with the exception of ascorbic acid which reduced 58,20% and 39,12% in the glass and PET samples, respectively. The volatile compounds did not suffer consistent changes during storage, keeping its original passion fruit aroma and flavor intensities. In the PET stored samples, the compound ethyl butanoate showed a substantial reduction, which, nevertheless, was not enough to provoke significant changes in the product’s aroma and flavor within 120 days. |
