Macroalgae belong to a diverse group of organisms that could be exploited for biomolecule application. Among the biocompounds found in this group, mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) are highlighted mainly due their photoprotection, antioxidant properties, and high photo thermo-stability, which attractive characteristics development cosmeceutical products. Therefore, here we revise published data about MAAs, including biosynthesis, biomass production, extraction, characterization,...
A cobertura florestal em Santa Catarina encontra-se reduzida e fragmentada entre as tipologias florestais mais fortemente afetadas está a Floresta Estacional Decidual.Com objetivo de conhecer composição estrutura do componente arbóreo um fragmento foram demarcadas unidades amostrais 20 x m, totalizando 0,4 ha.As espécies arbóreas com circunferência à altura peito (CAP) ≥ 25 cm avaliadas identificadas.Foram amostrados 205 indivíduos, 54 espécies, distribuídas 44 gêneros 23 famílias.A...
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a major constraint to aquatic photosynthetic organisms. Freshwater algae dwelling in natural high altitudinal ponds and lakes must tolerate UV exposure, especially oligotrophic waters. Here, we investigated the situ physiological short-term response of three algal communities removal at high-elevation Brazil, by measuring photosynthesis, carotenoid phenolic contents, nutrient concentration antioxidant enzymatic activities. Rancho Queimado (RQ), Lagoa do Roncador...
Abstract Fuzzy cottonseed samples of 14.5% moisture and <1.0% free fatty acids (FFA) contents heated in a conventional, home‐style microwave oven at 700W 2450 MHz for intervals up to 2.0 min. The 2.0‐min treatment reduced the content 13.1%. Examination seed immediately after heating (MWH) indicated no differences proteins or quality quantity cotton linters as compared with unheated seed. Neither oil nor were affected by treatment. After nine weeks storage 50°C, had FFA >3.0% while...
