Desenvolvimento, produção e controlo de qualidade de produtos vegetais desidratados

Abstract

O presente relatório tem como objetivo descrever todas as atividades realizadas durante o estágio académico efetuado na Frueat – produtos alimentares, Lda., sedeada no Porto e com unidade industrial em Viseu, com vista à conclusão do Mestrado em Biotecnologia e Inovação – Ciência Alimentar. A Frueat, é uma empresa de produção de produtos alimentares desidratados, mais especificamente fruta e legumes. Para este fim, a empresa recorre primeiramente a produtos com pouca ou nenhuma aceitação no mercado devido às suas características físicas, como calibre impróprio e aspeto visual medíocre, conseguindo assim fazer um reaproveitamento dos alimentos combatendo o desperdício alimentar. O estágio desenvolveu-se na unidade fabril da Frueat, em Viseu, com a duração de seis meses. Neste estágio, foi-me possível trabalhar em diversas áreas da industria alimentar e nutrição, como: segurança alimentar, no que diz respeito ao seu controlo, medição de teor de água e atividade da água, implementação de um sistema de segurança alimentar, com base no sistema HACCP, e montagem de um laboratório; controlo de qualidade alimentar, fazendo o tratamento de reclamações e teste de prateleira dos produtos; análise sensorial, realizando o controlo da qualidade do produto final e análise sensorial de novos produtos; no desenvolvimento de novos produtos, aumentando a linha de produtos laminados da marca Fruut e criando uma nova marca, Veegs, para hortícolas e tubérculos laminados. No decorrer deste estágio, acompanhei a construção e montagem das novas instalações da empresa em Viseu, colaborando na estrutura da planta e na escolha de equipamentos e utensílios. Ao longo do estágio e elaboração do presente relatório, foi realizada uma alargada pesquisa científica sobre os temas abordados. Neste sentido, o estágio permitiu organizar o sistema de segurança alimentar, melhorando as práticas diárias que se traduziram num melhor funcionamento da empresa, e melhorar o posicionamento da empresa no mercado, e aumentando o seu valor, através do lançamento de novos produtos. Nesta empresa, pude colecionar uma experiência enriquecedora e estimulante na medida em que me permitiu um contacto direto com a realidade da indústria alimentar portuguesa.

This report aims to describe all activities performed in the course of the academic internship at Frueat – Produtos Alimentares, Lda., based in Porto, with an industrial unit in Viseu, as part of the MSc in Biotecnologia and Inovação – Ciência Alimentar. Frueat is a company that develops and manufactures dehydrated food products, specifically fruits and vegetables. The company uses products with little to no market acceptance due to physical traits such as unusual size or unappealing visual aspect, thus taking advantage of that food while fighting its waste. The internship took place at the production plant in Viseu, for 6 months long. I worked in several areas of the food industry and nutrition such as: food safety and its control, measurement of water content and activity, implementation of a food safety system based on HACCP rules and assembling a laboratory; food quality control, handling complaints and shelf testing the products; sensory analysis, ensuring the quality control of old and new products; participating in the development of new products, increasing the product line of laminated fruits, while creating a new brand, called Veegs, for vegetables and tubers. During this internship, I followed up closely the construction of the new company premises in Viseu, collaborating with the blueprints’ structure and choice of equipment and utensils. Throughout the internship and the preparation of this report, a comprehensive scientific survey was done on the presented topics. This internship allowed me to reorganize the food safety system, improving daily practices that ultimately ensured a better company market value and positioning, through the development and launch of new products. I acquired a rich and fulfilling experience in a way that it allowed me hands-on contact with the Portuguese food industry reality.
