Beer has been one of the most consumed alcoholic beverages worldwide. However, incorporation adjuncts in beer can add new organoleptic and functional characteristics to beverage. For this, Beauregard sweet potato shows high potential due being a rich source starch many bioactive compounds. The aim this study was develop best process condition produce Sweet with enhanced nutritional antioxidant properties good sensory characteristics. samples showed increased activity especially β-carotene...
Bacterial resistance is an emerging public health issue that disseminated worldwide. Silver nanocomposite can be alternative strategy to avoid Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria growth, including multidrug-resistant strains. In the present study a silver was synthesized, using new green chemistry process, by addition of nitrate (1.10−3 mol·L−1) into fermentative medium Xanthomonas spp. produce xanthan gum polymer. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) used evaluate shape size...
Azadirachta indica A. Juss (neem) extracts have been used in pharmaceutical applications as antitumor agents, due to their terpenes and phenolic compounds. To obtain from neem leaves with potential antiproliferative effect, a sequential process of pressurized liquid extraction was carried out fixed bed extractor at 25 °C 100 bar, using hexane (SH), ethyl acetate (SEA), ethanol (SE) solvents. Extractions only (EE) also conducted compare the characteristics fractionated extracts. The results...
Plantas medicinais são utilizadas mundialmente como uma das principais formas de cuidado primário saúde. No entanto, a literatura indica que muitas espécies podem apresentar composição química variável, toxicidade ou difícil identificação. O objetivo do presente estudo foi obter critérios úteis para o controle qualidade farmacognóstico vegetais uso popular no estado Rio Grande Norte, utilizando metodologias análise botânica (morfodiagnose macro e microscópica) (triagem fitoquímica...
Xanthan gum (XG) production using three Xanthomonas sp. strains (290, 472, and S6) was evaluated by applying a 23 full factorial central composite design response to study the interactive effects of fermentation medium component concentrations as parameters determine efficiency in batch experiments. The experimental variables were carbon source (demerara sugar or sucrose), potassium phosphate dibasic, magnesium sulfate. Experimental results showed K2HPO4 concentration important parameter for...
Aim: As far as is known, the pharmaceutical effects of neem on human B-lymphoblastoid (TK6) cells have not been studied until now. Hence, present study aimed to obtain phenolic extracts for inhibits proliferation TK6 and explore some possible underlying mechanisms involved in these effects. Methods: Hexane extract (HE) was obtained first step. After that, residual hexane removed from neem. The dried sample used a new extraction obtaining ethyl acetate (EAE). Total compounds (TPC) total...

Tradescantia spathacea (T. spathacea) is a traditional medicinal plant from Central America and its tea, obtained by infusion, has been recognized as functional food. The aim of this work was to investigate the effects dry tea containing biocompounds T. on motor emotional behavior, well tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) expression in 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-lesioned rats. Bioactives were identified Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography (UPLC) an vivo study...
Background The treatment of bacterial diseases has become an increase public health problem, since the conventional antimicrobial substances lose their effectiveness due to microbial resistance phenomenon [1]. Silver is a metal with potential antibacterial activity, and showed significant efficacy against several species bacteria. silver activity prevent growth enhanced when found as nanoparticles [2]. (NPAG) have bacteriostatic bactericidal based on ability kill or inhibit Pathogenic...
