Desenvolvimento de embutido curado fermentado de carne de ema (Rhea americana) associada à de suíno

Abstract

The wild fauna represent an option of protein source to Brazil and others countries of Latina America, Europe and Asia. In this context, the greater rhea and others ratites are very valorized in the market, because of the healthy read meat that is introduced what is similar to others sorts of slaughter. This work had the objective to develop and to characterize a cured fermented sausage with rhea meat (Rhea Americana) and the pork meat in the Brazilian market. In the formulations of the cured fermented sausage used five meat combinations (90% rhea, 67,5% rhea / 22,5% pork, 45% rhea / 45% pork, 22,5% rhea / 67,5% pork, 90% pork). The products elaborated were appraised for analysis physicochemical, microbiologics, and sensorials. The results of phisicochemical analyzes sowed that the proctucts elaboreteds were in the vigor law to the salami, therefore water activity varieted from 0,88 to 0,90 (maximum 0,92), umided varieted from 35,93% to 41,07% (maximum 40%), fat varieted from 29,89 from 31,03 (maximum 35%) and protein variated from 29,89% to 31,03% (minimum 20%). The results indicated that all products developed showed secure to the microbiologic seen. The sensorial analyze revealed bigger preference to the cured sausages that contains elevated percentage of the pork meat in relation to the rhea meat, therefore the cured sausages that contains 22,5% of rhea meat and 67,5% of pork meat obtained the best valuation of the colour, smell, texture and savour. The products developed with more proportion of rhea meat in relation to the pork obtained the minor preference for the provers panel, moreover the formulated cured sausages with 90% of rhea meat received undervaluation. Is follow that, in the present work, the cured fermented sausages that have a formulation of 22,5% of rhea meat and 67,5% of pork meat reunited characteristics to be framed into the vigor law of salami and are the most appropriate to be into the Brazilian market as a alternative font of proteins to the human consumption.
