Abstract

The study of technologies related to solar energy has increased considerably in recent years due to concerns, especially environmental, the use of clean energy. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of cooking in solar cooker parabolic type in the physico-chemical and microbiological features of beans,
beef and chicken. Among the analyzed major differences were observed in the protein, beef, chicken and beans cooked in solar cooker had protein levels of 36.01%, 31.20%, 19.97%, respectively, and the same cooked in conventional oven LPG showed levels of 26.55%, 27.82%, 6.59%, respectively. The fresh chicken and beef showed thermotolerant coliforms the order of 100 MPN/g. The food cooked in solar cooker and LPG had values lower than 3.0 MPN/g, showing the elimination of the initial microbial charge. The parabolic solar cooker type provided cooked food to obtain more protein content than that
obtained by food cooked in LPG stove. Furthermore, the solar cooker, as well as LPG, demonstrated efficacy for the removal of thermotolerant coliforms of raw materials.
