Compositional quality of food obtained with solid state fermentation: potato and carrot

Español; castellano. RESUMEN Se analizaron los indicadores fermentativos y calidad composicional de un alimento por fermentación en estado sólido de papa y zanahoria; con el fin de aprovechar alimentos que no cumplen las exigencias del consumidor final. Se formularon tres tratamientos variando las inclusiones de papa:zanahoria, en mezcla con salvado de trigo y repila de maíz. Se realizó un análisis microbiológico a las 0, 24 y 96 horas; seguimiento a pH, proteína cruda (PC), cenizas (CZ), extracto etéreo (EE), fibra cruda (FC), fibra detergente neutro (FDN) y fibra detergente ácido (FDA) a las 0, 24, 48, 72 y 96 horas. Se presentó acidificación entre el muestreo 0 y 96 horas, con valores de 5,68 a 4,46; 5,73 a 4,46 y de 5,69 a 4,33 para los tratamientos con inclusiones de papa:zanahoria 20:20, 25:25 y 30:30, respectivamente. De igual forma, se observó reducción de materia seca (P<0,05) y aumento de PC (P<0,05) de 20,1 a 26,7%, 21,1 a 27,1% y de 25,4 a 27,9%, respectivamente para las anteriores inclusiones. No se encontró diferencia estadística significativa en las variables CZ, MS, E.E, FDN, FDA y FC; se evidenció un crecimiento importante de recuentos de bacterias acido lácticas (BAL) y la ausencia de Salmonella. La proporcionalidad en los incrementos de PC con inclusiones papa:zanahoria resulta viable con el incremento del material secante como salvado de trigo y repila de maíz.

ABSTRACT The fermentation indicators and compositional quality of food made with the solid-state fermentation of potatoes and carrots were analyzed in order to make use of foods that do not meet the requirements of consumers. Three treatments were formulated by varying the potato:carrot ratio mixed with wheat bran and corn cabbage. A microbiological analysis was performed at 0, 24 and 96 hours; the pH, crude protein (PC), ash (CZ), ethereal extract (EE), crude fiber (FC), neutral detergent fiber (FDN) and acid detergent fiber (FDA) were monitored at 0, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours. Acidification was observed between sampling at 0 and 96 hours, with values ranging from 5.68 to 4.46, 5.73 to 4.46 and 5.69 to 4.33 for the treatments with the potato:carrot ratios 20:20, 25:25 and 30:30, respectively. Similarly, a reduction of dry matter (P<0.05) and PC increase (P<0.05) were observed from 20.1 to 26.7%, 21.1 to 27.1% and 25.4 to 27.9%, respectively for the previous ratios. No significant statistical difference was found in the variables CZ, MS, EE, FDN, FDA or FC; a significant growth of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) counts and an absence of Salmonella were evident. The proportionality in the PC increase with the potato:carrot ratios was viable with the increase of the drying material, such as wheat bran and corn cabbage.
