Sequential statistical methods were used to maximise carotenoid production by a strain of Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, isolated from the Brazilian ecosystem. Initially, factorial 2(5-1) experimental design was used, and variables pH levels glucose, yeast extract, MgSO4.7H2O KH2PO4. The nitrogen source (yeast extract) most important variable in enhancing production; KH2PO4 had negative influence. initial no significant effect on cell productions. We further investigated effects glucose extract...
ABSTRACT ‘BRS Gaia’ is a red-skinned potato cultivar with high dry matter and attractive tuber appearance. Its tubers are oval, shallow eyes, slightly rough skin, yellow flesh low susceptibility to post-harvest greening. The vine maturity dormancy medium. It moderately susceptible late early blight. has an intermediate level of resistance (tolerance) bacterial wilt, which gives it significant comparative advantage over traditional cultivars for disease management in areas infested by the...
The objective of the present study was to select and identify yeasts from Brazil capable producing carotenoids. Pigmented were isolated soil, leaves, fruits, flowers a processed product. samples incubated at 30ºC in Erlenmeyer flasks, containing YM broth. After 48 hours, they inoculated Petri dishes with agar, during 120 hours. yeast colonies, which presented yellow red coloration, transferred culture tubes for 72 Out 242 samples, only five had color high intensity. These highly pigmented...
Campomanesia adamantium (Myrtaceae) is popularly known as "gabiroba" and has been used in folk medicine antirheumatic, antidiarrheal, hypocholesterolemic anti-inflammatory. This study evaluated the anti-inflammatory antinociceptive activities toxicology of essential oils from peel (EOP) seed (EOS) C. fruits animal models. Different groups were treated with doses 100 300 mg/kg inflammatory parameters carrageenan induced paw oedema leukocyte migration pleurisy model, while activity was using...
Consumption of ready-to-eat (RTE) vegetables is quick, easy and healthy, especially when eaten without cooking. However, they might be a source foodborne pathogenic microorganisms. The objective this study was to evaluate the microbiological parasitological contamination fresh RTE produced in agroindustries Federal District Brazil (FD), correlate with good manufacturing practices (GMP). One hundred three samples were collected from six for microbiology parasitology analyses GMP; 54...
Mauritia flexuosa (Buriti) pulp oil contains bioactive substances and lipids that are protective against cardiovascular inflammatory diseases. We performed physical chemical analyses to verify its quality stability. Buriti was stable according the Rancimat test, presenting an induction period of 6.6 h. evaluated effect supplementation with crude buriti olive on metabolic parameters in 108 Swiss mice for 90 days. investigated six groups: extra virgin (EVOO) 1 2 (1000 2000 mg/kg), (BO)...
Guavira fruits have antimicrobial, antioxidant, antinociceptive, and anti-inflammatory activities. Spray drying has been widely used in the food industry presenting good retention bioactive compounds to transform pulp/fruit juice into powder form. Therefore, present study evaluated antinociceptive activities of microencapsulated pulp Campomanesia adamantium (Cambess.) O.Berg, Myrtaceae, by spray drying. Different groups mice were treated with doses 100 300 mg/kg "guavira" inflammatory...
The aim of this study was to optimize the production xylose from sugarcane bagasse. hydrolysis process carried out evaluate effect temperature and sulphuric acid concentration on at 18, 30, 50 min hydrolysis. A Central Composite Rotatable Design (CCRD) used two variables, (111.5; 114.0; 120.0; 126.0 128.5 ºC) (0.20; 0.70; 1.90; 3.10 3.60% v v-1). Sulphuric had a greater influence than temperature. At concentrations higher 3.10% (v v-1), raising little yield production. best condition obtain...
This study evaluated the presence of pathogenic human parasites on field-grown strawberries in Federal District Brazil.A total 48 samples and soil from 16 properties were analyzed.Contaminated detected 56% properties. Schistosoma mansoni, Ascaris lumbricoides or suum, Balantidium coli, Endolimax nana, Entamoeba spp. detected. Soil was contaminated with spp., Strongyloides Ancylostomatidae, Hymenolepis nana.Producers should be instructed safe handling order to reduce incidence that are...
The demand for gluten-free products is rising, but their production with similar quality as gluten counterparts challenging. This study aimed to develop bread samples using different concentrations of Amorphophallus konjac flour (0%, 12.5%, 25%, 37.5%, and 50% the total content) evaluate nutritional physicochemical properties. Proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, moisture, ash content, fibers, resistant starch, firmness, specific volume, color were evaluated official methods. Protein varied from...
The fruit of Caryocar brasiliense Cambess. is a source oil with active compounds that are protective to the organism. In our work, we analyzed physicochemical characteristics and evaluated effects supplementation C. in an animal model. We characterized by indices quality identity, optical techniques absorption spectroscopy UV–Vis region fluorescence, thermogravimetry/derived thermogravimetry (TG/DTG). For experiment, utilized mice (Mus musculus) supplemented lipidic different dosages....
A cada dia que passa o consumidor está mais consciente a saúde diretamente relacionada uma dieta balanceada e segura. preocupação com consumo de alimentos propriedades funcionais vem crescendo pelo fato dos apresentarem atividades antioxidantes. Entretanto, hortaliças in natura também podem apresentar riscos à saúde. Os principais potenciais frutas estão relacionados às contaminações química microbiológica, ocorrer no vegetal durante sua produção. Com aumento da competitividade nas...
Resumo A couve de folhas é um alimento com alto teor vitaminas e minerais, que são fundamentais para a dieta humana. Contudo, informações sobre influência dos fatores extrínsecos intrínsecos, durante o seu cultivo, em sua composição escassas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi quantificar os seguintes minerais couves produzidas no Distrito Federal (DF): cálcio, magnésio, potássio, fósforo, zinco, manganês, sódio ferro, correlacionando teores verificados presentes solo. As amostras solo foram...
Bocaiuva (Acrocomia aculeata ( Jacq.) Lodd.) is a fruit of the Brazilian cerrado, whose flour handcrafted, representing typical regional product.Mature bocaiuva fruits from State Mato Grosso do Sul were processed to produce flour.The fatty acid profile obtained pulp and kernel was determined evaluate possible changes in composition due processing.The main acids found monounsaturated acids, especially oleic acid; saturated predominated kernel, with higher percentage lauric acid.The...
Abstract BACKGROUND Fruits present high concentrations of bioactive compounds that are beneficial to health due their antioxidant properties. New alternatives vegetable oils with such properties have been studied. We determined the chemical Byrsonima cydoniifolia A. Juss. fruits in three ripening stages as well optical behavior and quality level oils. RESULTS The stage affected composition presented values compounds, ascorbic acid (1.46–1.82 g kg −1 ) total phenols (3.54–15.91 gallic...
Pterodon emarginatus is a tree of the Brazilian Savannah. The beans this are used in folk medicine as anti-inflammatory preparations, especially for infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus. These bacteria can cause simple or serious illnesses such pneumonia, meningitis, endocarditis, toxic shock syndrome, septicemia, and others.This study had goal verifying effect essential oil (OE) from P. on inhibition S. aureus culture medium, i.e., " vitro" tests.The vegetable material was cut crushed...
