A single laccase with molecular weight of 41 kDa was produced by the white-rot fungus Oudemansiella canarii cultured on solid state fermentation using a mixture sugarcane bagasse-wheat bran as substrate. The enzyme (5 U) able to decolourize 80% 50 mg/L Congo red within 24 h at 30 °C and pH 5.5. relationship between decolorization rate dye concentration obeyed Michaelis-Menten kinetics, KM Vmax values 46.180 ± 6.245 µM 1.840 0.101 µmol/min, respectively. Fourier transform infrared...
Summary The main chemical and biochemical constituents of nine edible mushrooms were evaluated in this study. An enzymatic method was used to determine the α‐ β‐glucan contents, amino acid ( AA ) profiles by RP ‐ HPLC DAD . recommended dietary allowance RDA nutrients evaluated. Finally, principal component analysis PCA group according their , glucans composition. All can be considered as a potential alternative source fibre (24.4–46.62%) protein (16.47–36.96%) diet, with low contents fat...
The aim of this study was to optimize the extraction total phenolics from edible mushrooms, evaluate in vitro antioxidant and antimicrobial activities identify main phenolic compounds present extracts. A Box-Behnken design used effects temperature (X1, 25–55 °C), solvent-to-solid ratio (X2, 30–70 mL per gram) solvent concentration (X3, 25–75%) were evaluated. In optimum conditions extraction, (DPPH, ABTS FRAP assays) extract tested against bacteria: Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus,...
This work aims to encapsulate anthocyanins and phenolic compounds extracted from a native Brazilian fruit peel - jabuticaba (Plinia cauliflora (Mart.) Kausel) propolis Tubuna (Scaptotrigona bipunctata) stingless bees, with great potential benefits for human health. The alginate encapsulation was conducted by the ionotropic gelation through dripping into CaCl2 solution. Both raw extracts were characterized TPC total content (Folin-Ciocalteu), AA -antioxidant activity (DPPH ABTS assays), TMAC...
Abstract By seeding fungus on top of industry residues, a mycelium can grow and form compact network structure; however, it may not develop due to lack optimal nutrients from the substrate. Consequently, peach-palm residues be potential alternative; so, test this hypothesis, work evaluates effect as substrate for growth based Lentinula edodes . They were also supplemented with cassava bran various sources nitrogen-ammonium sulphate, potassium nitrate, soy flour—to analyse its effects...
A comunidade celíaca, que representa hoje aproximadamente 1 % da população mundial, demanda o desenvolvimento de produtos sem glúten e com alto valor nutricional. O presente trabalho objetiva desenvolver uma revisão bibliométrica acerca farinhas glúten, modo a se avaliar as tendências pesquisa na área. Foram avaliadas publicações científicas em língua inglesa disponíveis base dados Web of Science, enfoque distribuição dos trabalhos ao longo anos das regiões geográficas, bem como nas...
Undeveloped pinhão seeds (Falhas de Pinhão, FP) are potential by-products on the exploitation of pine cones Araucaria angustifolia, and this material has no use little academical research available. In work, its chemical characterization was conducted, new uses for were proposed, with focus food, cosmetics, energy, nano-technological areas. The results indicate FP as dietary fibers supplement application in food industry. can be utilized obtention extracts source phenolic compounds sugars....
Abstract Food packaging plays a crucial role in preserving food and beverage quality. Biodegradable polymers from renewable materials offer an effective alternative to reduce the environmental impact of non‐biodegradable plastics. This study aimed develop smart biopolymer (active intelligent) using agribusiness by‐products like rice husk Pinhão failure ( Araucaria angustifolia ). The film was created casting method analyzed for its physical, mechanical, antioxidant, intelligent properties,...
Lignocellulose is the most abundant environmental component and a renewable organic resource in soil. There are some filamentous fungi which developed ability to break down use cellulose, hemicellulose lignin as an energy source. The objective of this research was analyze effect three nitrogen resources (ammonium sulfate, saltpetre, soybean) holocellulolitic activity Lentinula edodes EF 50 using substrate sawdust E. benthamii. An experimental design mixture applied with repetition central...
Laccases are multicopper oxidases with high potential for industrial applications. Several basidiomycete fungi natural producers of this enzyme; however, the optimization production and selection inducers increased productivity coupled low costs is necessary. Lignocellulosic residues important lignin sources laccase production. Pinus taeda, a dominant source wood-based products, has not been investigated purpose yet. The aim study was to evaluate by fungus Ganoderma lucidum in presence...
