  • Development of gastronomic strategies for the application and valorization of new inverse emulsions of vegetable origin.
    Publication . Silva, Ana Teresa; Morgado, Cátia; Félix, Nelson; Basto de Lima, Maria Gabriela; Laranjeira, Cristina; Brandão, Carlos; Guerra, Manuela
    In order to develop gastronomic applications with five emulsions prototypes (three strawberry and bell pepper—red and yellow—processed differently, with aqueous vegetable phase) and two mustards with red fruits and beet, a sensory evaluation was carried out at first with a taste panel and also the online Foodpairing® tool was used. Based on previous results and also on culinary know-how, creative/aesthetic talent of the researchers 34 recipes were developed for different culinary preparation (starter, main course, dessert, for Food Service or domestic end consumer) and some were selected for a tasting lunch with 40 consumers (domestic/food professionals). Overall, results indicate good acceptance of the emulsions and incremental acceptation according to the gastronomic use.
  • Gastronomic potential and pairings of new emulsions of vegetable origin
    Publication . Silva, Ana Teresa; Morgado, Cátia; Félix, Nelson; Brandão, Carlos; Guerra, Manuela; Basto De Lima, Maria Gabriela; Laranjeira, Cristina
    Five innovative emulsions prototypes (preserving expensive or seasonal raw materials and value surplus or regional by-products) were analyzed: 1 strawberry, 2 bell pepper (red and yellow) processed differently, with aqueous vegetable phase and 2 mustards with red fruits or beet. An initial sensory evaluation was carried out (hedonic scale 1–9) with a panel of specialist tasters and the online Foodpairing® tool was also used. The panel positively evaluated all emulsions (global appreciation mean values between 5.6 and 7) but none was pointed out as having potential gastronomic use by itself, but always as an ingredient of some composition. There were 33 combinations of ingredients with the Foodpairing® tool. The opinion of the food professionals was quite important and useful, but not always coincident with the ingredients proposed by the application Foodpairing®. Global food innovation includes characterization of new products, including their potential in terms of gastronomic use, and sensorial acceptability, basing further developments.
