Guaraná Pow[d]er: produção de guaraná em pó a partir do processo de spray-drying. 2019. 83f. Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (Graduação Engenharia de Alimentos) - Centro de Tecnologia, Departamento de Engenharia Química, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2019.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/37171Guarana is a highly consumed product in Brazil and its production is concentrated in the North and Northeast regions of the country. One way of consuming the fruit concentrated, is as a powder. The guarana powder currently sold has two characteristics that are not pleasant at the time of consumption, they are: the presence of non-soluble particles and their conditioning in a non-portioned way. Therefore, the objective of this work is the development of a product that solves those two problems mentioned and still meets the new expectations of modern consumers related to sustainability, health and practicality. In this work the process of production of guarana powder from the drying process in spray dryer is presented. The work includes bibliographic review on the subject, process flow diagram, description of manufacturing steps, industry layout, mass and energy balances, economic analysis of the product and, finally, management of waste generated in production. From the economic analysis it was possible to define the price of the unit product as R$ 11.20 and the suggested selling price of the product was defined as R$ 16.97. Guarana Pow[d]er is a product that can attract a greater number of consumers in its country of origin, conquer international markets and, if consumed within the limits indicated by the legislation, generate several health benefits.Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Brazilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/br/Guaraná em póSpray dryerSustentabilidadeDesenvolvimento de produtobachelorThesis
