Abstract(s)
A doença celíaca é uma doença autoimune, desencadeada pela ingestão
de glúten, em indivíduos com predisposição genética. O tratamento desta
doença passa, única e exclusivamente, pela prática de uma alimentação
isenta de glúten, ao longo de toda a vida do doente celíaco. Por este motivo,
a indústria alimentar tem investido no aumento de oferta e variedade de produtos
alimentares isentos de glúten. Este trabalho de investigação pretendeu
avaliar diferenças, do ponto de vista nutricional, entre produtos de pastelaria
com e sem glúten. Em 2015, foram adquiridos 14 produtos, dos quais 9 com
glúten e 5 sem glúten. Determinaram-se os teores de gordura total, de sal
e o perfil de ácidos gordos. As bolachas tipo “Crackers” e tipo “Maria” sem
glúten apresentaram teores de gordura superiores aos produtos similares
com glúten. No entanto, é muito importante avaliar que tipo de gordura se
encontra nestes alimentos. Nas bolachas tipo “Maria” sem glúten a gordura
era maioritariamente monoinsaturada, cuja ingestão está associada a um
efeito protetor no desenvolvimento de doença coronária. Sendo este tipo de
alimentos, apreciado por todas as faixas etárias, mas sobretudo por jovens,
é muito importante alargar este trabalho de investigação a uma maior gama
de produtos.
The coeliac disease is an autoimmune disease triggered by the ingestion of foodstuffs with gluten in genetically predisposed individuals. The treatment of this disease is based on a gluten-free diet, which should be followed throughout life by the coeliac patient. For this reason, the food industry has developed efforts to increase the supply and variety of gluten-free foods. This research aimed to evaluate the differences from a nutritional point of view of bakery products with and without gluten. During 2015, 14 products of which 9 were with gluten and 5 were gluten-free were acquired in different food chains. Total fat, salt and fatty acid profile were determined in the selected samples. The "Crackers" and "Maria" gluten-free biscuits present a higher fat content than similar products with gluten. However, it is very important to evaluate what type of fat can be found in these foods. In "Maria" gluten-free biscuits fat is mostly monounsaturated, whose intake is associated with a protective effect on the development of coronary heart disease. As this type of food, is appreciated by all the age groups, but especially by young people, it is very important to extend this research to a wider range of products.
