Abstract

ABSTRACT This study aimed to determine the physical and physicochemical characteristics of yam sticks, in natura and after osmotic dehydration. The experiment was conducted at the Food Engineering Laboratory belonging to UFCG-CG. yams were used variety Coast, where they were cleaned, processed and cut into matchstick shapes then submitted to osmotic dehydration, in saline solution of NaCl. The samples were evaluated for the parameters: water content; water activity; pH; acidity; starch; lipids; sodium content and color characteristics (L, a, b). The starch content was influenced by osmotic treatments where the use of solutions with 5 and 10% of salt, made the yam sticks presented the highest values (32.98) observed; The water content of yam sticks decrease as increase the concentrations of osmotic solutions; The pH and lipid content of yam sticks, were not affected in any conditions that were submitted, remained stable; The yam has great potential for agricultural and its manufacturing or as a raw material for flour, as for new products such as yam chips.
