Acesso em:.https://bdm.ufpa.br/handle/prefix/5474This work evaluated the determination of in vitro bioactive compounds of powdered chicory (Eryngium foetidum L.) about fresh chicory to determine its composition of bioactive compounds, namely ascorbic acid, flavonoids, and total polyphenols that act as antioxidant agents and antiinflammatory drugs in preventing and reducing damage in chronic non communicable diseases. Chicory powder was obtained through convective drying at a controlled temperature at 55ºC, followed by reading of water activity, pH according to the Association Of Official Analytical Chemist, total soluble solids and total titratable acidity according to Instituto Adolf Lutz, granulometric analysis, vitamin C content as per the Association of Official Agricultural Chemists; concentrations of chlorophylls a and b, flavonoids and total polyphenols, respectively, carried out by spectrometry. The results obtained from the physicalchemical characteristics show viable conditions with pH 6.06 and conservation as a 70% reduction in the water activity present after drying; in addition, the results for Chlorophylls A and B indicate higher concentrations of chlorophyll B (78.46mg) compared to A (30.92mg), these results are strictly related to the production of secondary metabolites represented by the bioactive compounds flavonoids and polyphenols totals that expressed 78.33mg and 454.56mg, respectively. Therefore, the results show that the product produced (powdered chicory) has technological potential for easy use with good functionality to help promote health.Acesso AbertoErygium foetidum LChicóriaCompostos bioativosPolifenóis totaisChicóriaBioactive compoundsTotal polyphenolsCNPQ::CIENCIAS DA SAUDE::NUTRIÇÃODeterminação dos compostos bioativos in vitro da chicória do Pará (eryngium foetidum L.)Trabalho de Curso - Graduação - Monografia
