Agro-industrial waste, which is generated during the process of food production, has potential to contaminate significant quantities natural resources. Concurrently, cultivation edible mushrooms from waste materials that have been previously discarded undergoing exponential growth. This due nutritional value and their biotechnological in production enzymes industrial interest. The present study aims evaluate lignocellulolytic hydrolytic by mushroom Pleurotus pulmonarius on cocoa peach-palm...
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the frequencies of major maturity-onset diabetes young (MODY) subtypes in a panel Spanish families and to assess phenotypic differences patients with different MODY. METHODS: Forty-eight subjects from twenty clinical diagnosis MODY were studied. They underwent standardised examination 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed. Estimations insulin sensitivity (%S) secretion capacity (%B) calculated by computer-solved homeostasis model assessment (HOMA)....
Cocoa beans used for chocolate production are fermented seeds of Theobroma cacao obtained by a natural fermentation process. The flavors and chemical compounds produced during the process make this step one most important in fine production. Herein, an integrative analysis variation microbial community structure, using shotgun metagenomics approach associated physicochemical features, was performed cocoa beans. Samples Forastero variety (FOR) mixture two hybrids (PS1319 CCN51) (MIX) from...
A hemorragia traumática é uma das principais causas de morte evitável no atendimento ao trauma, exigindo um manejo transfusional eficiente para reduzir a mortalidade e melhorar recuperação dos pacientes. Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar as estratégias transfusionais utilizadas da terapia em pacientes com traumática, identificando abordagens eficazes, desafios impactos dessas intervenções. Foi realizada revisão integrativa literatura, busca bases dados alto impacto, utilizando...
The production of tannase by Aspergillus tamarii was studied in submerged cultures. fungus produced an extracellular after two days growth mineral medium containing tannic acid, gallic acid and methyl gallate as carbon source. best result obtained using inducer (20.6 U/ml). enzyme strongly repressed the presence glucose. Crude optimally active at pH 5.0 30º C. stable a large range up to temperature 45º
This work investigated the xylanase production by fungi isolates from tropical agroforestry systems using peach-palm industrial waste as a substrate. Trichoderma stromaticum AM7 was best producer and there 160% increase in activity after optimizing Box–Behnken statistical design. The optimization process demonstrated that maximum occurred at 0.95% nitrogen concentration 6 days of cultivation 32°C, which achieved yield 1440 U g−1 dry initial Analysis scanning electron microscopy showed...
The potential applications of fungi in the development new biomaterials derived from fungal mycelium have captured attention both scientific community and society. notable ability networks to self-construct aggregate can be used produce diverse biomaterials. These created a pure state, or conjunction with other organic/inorganic compounds. Recent advancements mycomaterials gained due their sustainability mechanical, thermogravimetric, compression properties. Such properties contribute...
Abstract Aims To investigate the effects of atorvastatin on glucose homeostasis, basal and postprandial lipid profiles CRP levels (C reactive protein) in subjects with impaired fasting (IFG). Methods Thirty‐three (22 men 11 women) were included our study. All displayed an IFG (fasting plasma between 6.1 7.0 mmol/l) at least two occasions during last 6 months prior They randomly assigned to receive either 40 mg atorvastatin/day ( n = 16) or placebo 17) over 16 weeks, a double‐blind design....
Os estudos do chá verde brasileiro (Camellia sinensis var assamica) ainda são escassos quando comparados aos realizados com chás verdes produzidos em outros países. objetivos deste trabalho foram avaliar os efeitos tempo de infusão, forma acondicionamento da erva (a granel ou sachês) e preparo bebida na extração dos biativos estabilidade obtida. Foram avaliados parâmetros sólidos solúveis compostos fenólicos extraídos, bem como as propriedades antioxidantes pelo método DPPH (radicais...
Abstract Background Probiotics are important tools in therapies against vaginal infections and can assist traditional antibiotic restoring healthy microbiota. Recent research has shown that microorganisms belonging to the genus Lactobacillus have probiotic potential. Thus, this study evaluated potential vitro properties of three strains Lactiplantibacillus plantarum , isolated during fermentation high-quality cocoa, Gardnerella vaginalis Neisseria gonorrhoeae . Strains were for their...
A sequential design strategy was applied to optimize the secretion of pectinases by a Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain, from Brazilian sugarcane liquor vat, on passion fruit residue flour (PFRF), through solid-state fermentation (SSF). factorial performed determine influence variables and two rotational central composite designs were executed. The validated experimental result 7.1 U mL-1 using 50% PFRF (w/w), pH 5, 30 °C for 24 h, under static SSF. Polygalacturonase, pectin methyl esterase,...
The production of tannases by Aspergillus tamarii was evaluated in submerged cultures using tannic acid and gallic as substrates. Two tannases, designated TAH I II were produced cultures. I, responsible for 70% the total tannase activity purified to apparent electrophoretic homogeneity with 18.35% yield. enzyme is a homodimeric protein molecular mass 180 kDa 40.5% its weight corresponds carbohydrates. exhibited optimal at 30°C pH 5.5 stable over large range (3.0 9.0) temperatures up 40°C....
