The Amazon region is rich in genetic resources such as oilseeds which have potentially important local commercial exploitation. Despite its high concentration of bioactive compounds, cacay (Caryodendron orinocense Karst.) oil poorly investigated and explored. Thus, this study focuses on the physicochemical characterization (moisture, density, saponification, iodine, acidity values), fatty acid composition determined by gas chromatograph mass spectrometry (GC/MS), total phenolic content...
Cacay oil and butter were evaluated as enzymatic inducers for lipase production from Aspergillus terreus NRRL-255 by solid-state fermentation (SSF). Initially, physicochemical characteristics of agro-industrial wastes in order to identify a potential solid substrate production. Higher water absorption index (3.65 g H2O/g substrate), adequate mineral content, great carbon source, nitrogen concentration factors that influenced the choice wheat bran substrate. presented highest lipolytic...
The purpose of the present study was to evaluate yellow mombin (Spondias L.) juice as a vehicle for Lactobacillus acidophilus NRRL B-4495 probiotic. initial pH and fermentation temperature conditions were optimized by central composite rotational design. beverage evaluated its chemical composition, bioactive properties, microbiological stability, survival in simulated gastrointestinal sensory analysis. ideal probiotic production an 6.4 16 h fermentation, with maximum viability 12.9 ± 0.4 Log...
This study evaluated bati butter (Ouratea parviflora) as a substrate for lipase production by solid-state fermentation (SSF) using Aspergillus terreus NRRL-255. A gas chromatograph with flame ionization detector determined the fatty acid profile. Lipase and spore count were optimized 32 experimental design response surface methodology. Moreover, crude enzyme extract was against different pH, temperature, activating inhibitors reagents. Regarding acids identified, long-chain accounted 78.60%...
