Utilização do bagaço de cana de açúcar em desenvolvimento de farinhas para aplicações culinárias

Abstract

Sugarcane is a product used to make two essential products for the world economy: sugar, an indispensable part of human nutrition, and alcohol, used in alcoholic beverages such as cachaça, wine and beer, or as fuel to fuel cars, also known as ethanol. Thus, sugarcane bagasse is also used to feed cattle and pigs, and FBCA is extracted from this material. This research work aims to provide a better understanding of the use of FBCA in the production of cereal bars, through theoretical and sensory observations for the possibility of achieving a positive outcome. Sugarcane bagasse has several benefits, according to athena editor, with different proportions of sugarcane bagasse flour as a source of fiber, analogous to this, it qualitatively discusses the strong benefit of using this material that consists of explaining its nutritional and energetic benefits. The answers and results were obtained through literary research and sensory observations, during a visit to an establishment that works with this matter. Soon after, the sugarcane bagasse was transported to the laboratory and the FBCA was extracted. In view of all this research and testing, it is concluded that it is possible to produce natural and healthy cereal bars for consumption.
