Abstract
The objective of this work was to evaluate the acceptability and shelf life of an acerola (Malpigia emarginata DC) jelly prepared in different ways. The jellies were prepared using sugar and either acerola juice or pulp and 1% pectin in aluminum, copper and stainless steel pans. They were submitted for sensorial and physical-chemical analyses to determine the most acceptable product and to establish its shelf life. To determine the shelf life, physical-chemical, nutritional, microbiological and sensorial properties were evaluated, along with color. The most acceptable high-quality jelly was prepared with equal amounts of pulp and sugar, in an aluminum pan. It had good acceptability, so it can be commercialized and stored for 180 days.
Keywords: Acceptance, acerola, Malpigia emarginata DC, processing.

Ayurvedic medicinal therapeutic approaches for inflammatory and neurodegenerative disorders
Usually, in our elderly population, neurodegenerative disorders occur due to neuron death. Alzheimer?s disease (AD) is an irreversible and progressive neurodegenerative disease. Dementia is the leading cause of AD, which affects about 30 million people worldwide. According to the World Alzheimer report 2018, a new case of dementia develops every ...read more
Recent Advances in Biotransformation of Bioactive Terpenoids using Aspergillus niger
Biotransformation is the reaction catalyzed by biological catalysts of either isolated enzymes or whole cell cultures of microorganisms. This process has been extensively applied in the conversion of bioactive terpenoids with high regio- and stereospecifity. This process has been also applied in the lead discovery and development. Aspergillus niger has ...read more
