Bioactive compounds of plum mango (Bouea macrophylla Griffith)
The fruit of Bouea macrophylla referred as Plum mango or Gandaria is a popular seasonal fruit,
which is widely consumed in the Malay subcontinent. There is ample of traditional knowledge
available among the locals on the use of leaves, bark, fruits and seeds of this plant. However,
very limited research information and scientific report is available on their composition,
phytochemicals or on the bioactive compounds. In the present chapter, we have aimed towards
comprehensively providing information on nutritional value, functional qualities, health
promoting bioactive compounds and volatile constituents of this underutilized fruit
Influence of drying process and particle size of persimmon fibre on its physicochemical, antioxidant, hydration and emulsifying properties
[EN] Persimmon, given its current surplus production, could be an alternative source for the extraction of certain interesting ingredients for the food industry and human health, such as fibre. Thus, the aim of this study was to analyse the influence of hot air and freeze-drying, as well as the particle size of fibre extracted from persimmon peels or pulp on their physicochemical, antioxidant, hydration and emulsifying properties, compared to commercial fibres (from peach, lemon, orange and apple). The results showed that both freeze-dried persimmon pulp and freeze-dried peel had better hydration properties and oil holding capacity than other fibres analysed, although the swelling capacity was higher for lemon fibre. Freeze-dried persimmon peel fibre showed higher values of emulsion stability than commercial fibres. Finally, the antioxidant activity of the smallest sized persimmon peel fibre obtained by freeze-drying was higher than that for lemon, orange and peach fibre.The authors acknowledge the support of the Universtitat Politecnica de Valencia and certify that there is no conflict of interest with any financial organization regarding the material discussed in the manuscript.MartÃnez-Las Heras, R.; Landines, E.; Heredia Gutiérrez, AB.; Castelló Gómez, ML.; Andrés Grau, AM.

Desempenho produtivo, composição corporal e parâmetros fisiológicos de pacu alimentado com nÃveis crescentes de fibra Productive performance, body composition and physiological parameters of pacu fed increasing levels of fiber
O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar os efeitos de teores de fibra bruta na dieta sobre o desempenho produtivo, composição centesimal da carcaça e parâmetros fisiológicos de juvenis de pacu. O experimento teve duração de 84 dias, e foram utilizados 360 juvenis de pacu, com peso médio de 23,97±0,59 g, distribuÃdos aleatóriamente em 30 tanques com 180 L de água, em delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com seis tratamentos (5, 7, 9, 11, 13 e 15% de fibra bruta) e cinco repetições. Dietas com altos teores de fibra (11, 13 e 15%) resultaram em piores taxas de ganho de peso, conversão alimentar e crescimento especÃfico, além de menor eficiência proteica e consumo de ração. A composição da carcaça dos animais foi alterada pelo aumento do teor de fibra das dietas. Os teores de proteÃna e cinza tiveram aumento com o incremento nos teores de fibra. O metabolismo foi alterado com o emprego de teores crescentes de fibra, o que resultou em pequena elevação do colesterol plasmático. Teores de fibra bruta de até 9% não tiveram efeitos negativos no metabolismo; entretanto, teores acima de 11% reduziram o crescimento dos peixes.<br>The objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of dietary crude fiber contents on productive performance, carcass composition and physiological parameters of pacu juveniles. The experiment was carried out during 84 days, 360 pacu juveniles were used with mean weight 23.97±0.59 g, stocked in 30 tanks with 180 L of water, in a completely randomized design, with six treatments (5, 7, 9, 11, 13 and 15% crude fiber) and five replicates. Diets with high fiber contents (11, 13 and 15%) resulted in worse rates of weight gain, feed conversion, and specific growth, besides lower protein efficiency ratio and feed consumption. Carcass composition changed by increasing the contents of dietary fiber. Body contents of protein and ash increased along with the fiber levels. The metabolism changed with the use of increasing levels of fiber, which resulted in a slight elevation of serum cholesterol. Crude fiber content up to 9% had no negative effects on metabolism, but levels above 11% reduced fish growth
