Abstract

The cultivation of small fruits facilitates the production of pulps and sweet jellies for fruits. When it comes to physalis, it is an easy-to-grow, low-cost financial fruit, in addition to being rich in vitamins (A and C), phosphorus, iron, and bioactive compounds such as carotenoids and phenolic compounds. Three formulas were elaborated, common jelly F1 40% physalis, 60% sugar), extra jelly F2 50% physalis 50% honey) Premium (60% physalis, 40% honey), which were jellies for physical-chemical and microbiological analysis carried out in the laboratories of the Technological Vocational Center (CVT), Pombal – PB. The physical-chemical parts were made in triplicate. For pH, the values ranged from 3.4 to 3.5, for maximum averages and corresponding to 0.31 (F1) and 0.52 (F3), they all remain between a recommended value that is 0.5 to 0 ,8 to prevent an accident from occurring during jam storage. Regarding moisture, the values found are between 25.39 and 27.04, for the content of vitamin C, all treatments showed a low amount, ranging from 2.13 to 2.25mg/100g, another evaluated was Soluble Solids or (°Brix), which can be from 63.4, up to the minimum amount of SST at 62.0, since the levels presented for a lot of reductants vary, with 24.37 for F1 and 82.98 and 87.47 for F2 and F3 respectively, due to the high amount of reducing sugars found in honey, finally, the macrobiotic results were found between the parameters of the legislation, with negative results for coliforms and salmonella. Thus, additional studies of the addition of honey to replace the flavor in the manufacture of the jelly added and designed characteristics to the product, in addition to possible health benefits, being a great alternative for health.
