Resumo: | Cúrcuma longa belongs to the Zingiberaceae family, popularly known as turmeric, turmeric, yellow ginger and sun root. Consumed mainly in the form of dry powder, used for several purposes, mainly in traditional and modern medicine. As a consequence of its high commercial value, turmeric has often been adulterated with the most diverse materials and strategies. In this sense, the objective of this work was to analyze possible adulterations in samples of turmeric powder sold in the cities of Campina Grande and Pocinhos in Paraíba. For this, the starch activation and lugol reaction tests were carried out on 10 samples acquired at different commercial points in the cities mentioned. In the starch activation test, only one sample resulted in a full-bodied solution indicating the presence of starch. In the lugol reaction test, 4 samples showed a dark blue / violet color that indicates the presence of starch. It was observed that adulteration was found in a higher percentage in samples sold in open markets. In view of the results, it is observed that the detection of adulterants thus becomes an issue of high importance to ensure consumer protection against fraudulent practices. Thus, it is concluded that the results of this work revealed fraud in some samples and highlights the importance of adopting control and inspection measures to prevent economic losses and risks to consumer health. |

Consumido principalmente en forma de polvo seco, utilizado para diversos fines, principalmente en la medicina tradicional y moderna. Como consecuencia de su alto valor comercial, la cúrcuma a menudo ha sido adulterada con los más diversos materiales y estrategias. En este sentido, el objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar posibles adulteraciones en muestras de cúrcuma en polvo comercializadas en las ciudades de Campina Grande y Pocinhos en Paraíba. Para ello, se realizaron las pruebas de activación de almidón y reacción de lugol en 10 muestras adquiridas en diferentes puntos comerciales de las ciudades mencionadas. En la prueba de activación del almidón, solo una muestra dio como resultado una solución con cuerpo que indica la presencia de almidón. En la prueba de reacción de lugol, 4 muestras mostraron un color azul oscuro / violeta que indica la presencia de almidón. Se observó que la adulteración se encontró en un mayor porcentaje en las muestras vendidas en mercados abiertos. A la vista de los resultados, se observa que la detección de adulterantes se convierte así en un tema de gran importancia para asegurar la protección del consumidor frente a prácticas fraudulentas. Así, se concluye que los resultados de este trabajo revelaron fraude en algunas muestras y resalta la importancia de adoptar medidas de control y fiscalización para la prevención de pérdidas económicas y riesgos para la salud de los consumidores.A Cúrcuma longa pertence à família Zingiberaceae, popularmente conhecida como açafrão, açafrão da terra, gengibre amarelo e raiz de sol. Consumida principalmente na forma de pó seco, utilizada com diversas finalidades, principalmente na medicina tradicional e moderna. Como consequência do seu elevado valor comercial, a cúrcuma tem sido frequentemente adulterada com os mais diversos materiais e estratégias. Neste sentido, o objetivo desse trabalho foi analisar possíveis adulterações em amostras de cúrcuma em pó comercializadas nas cidades de Campina Grande e Pocinhos na Paraíba. Para isso, foram realizados os testes de ativação do amido e reação do lugol em 10 amostras adquiridas em diferentes pontos comerciais das cidades citadas. No teste de ativação do amido apenas uma amostra resultou em uma solução encorpada indicando a presença de amido. Já no teste de reação do lugol 4 amostras apresentaram uma coloração azul escuro/violeta que indica a presença de amido. Observou-se que a adulteração foi encontrada em maior percentual nas amostras comercializadas em feiras livres. Diante dos resultados observa-se que a detecção de adulterantes torna-se assim, uma questão de elevada importância para garantir a proteção do consumidor contra práticas fraudulentas. Desta forma, conclui-se que os resultados deste trabalho revelaram fraude em algumas amostras e evidencia a importância da adoção de medidas de controle e fiscalização para a prevenção de prejuízos econômicos e riscos à saúde do consumidor.Research, Society and Development2021-06-15info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/1623310.33448/rsd-v10i7.16233Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 No. 7; e11010716233Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 Núm. 7; e11010716233Research, Society and Development; v. 10 n. 7; e110107162332525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/16233/14589Copyright (c) 2021 Mayanny Celly de Sales Mélo ; Patricia de Luna Rodrigues; Vanessa Cristina de Melo Silva; Marina Suênia de Araújo Vilar; Daniela de Araújo Vilarhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMélo , Mayanny Celly de Sales Rodrigues, Patricia de Luna Silva, Vanessa Cristina de Melo Vilar, Marina Suênia de Araújo Vilar, Daniela de Araújo 2021-07-18T21:07:03Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/16233Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:36:50.343495Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false |
