Determinação físico-química, microbiológica e potencial antioxidante de PANCs oriundas da região amazônica. 63 f. Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (Tecnologia de Alimentos) - Universidade do Estado do Pará, Belém, 2019.https://bibliotecadigitaldetcc.uepa.br/handle/riuepa/558Unconventional Food Plants (PANCs) are considered a low-cost, nutrient-rich food alternative where their structures can be partially or fully utilized in food, with limited distribution or restricted to certain locations, which when perceived are easily confused. weeds, because of that, are little cultivated, and used by a small number of individuals. This research aims to study the microbiological, physicochemical and antioxidant activity of five PANCs (Unconventional Food Plants) marketed in a fair in Belém (PA), with a focus on crop redemption, use and adding value to them inside and outside the regions that exploit them. The methodological procedures were: bibliographic and experimental research, analyzes (antioxidant activity, physicochemical and microbiological). The antioxidant profile of the PANCs of this study was expressive and satisfactory, since these PANCs are great alternatives for their consumption and cultivation in the states that characterize them, but more research and dissemination on unconventional food plants is needed. so that the general population can enjoy the benefits they have. The physicochemical results were variable in relation to the PANCs, with emphasis on humidity (all PANCs presented high content) and nettle (high protein potential), while for the microbiological analysis, the results were unsatisfactory, being outside the required standards for faecal coliforms and Salmonella spp. current legislation in Brazil..Língua PortuguesaAbertoPANC'sPhysicochemical and microbiological quality controlAmazon regionTrabalho de Conclusão de Curso (TCC)
