The side streams derived from the palm oil production process, namely kernel cake, pressed fibre, shells and empty fruit bunches, were evaluated as sources of phenolic compounds. Among these streams, cake had highest total content (in mg gallic acid equivalents (GAE) per g dry sample) with a value 5.19, whereas bunches lowest (1.79). extraction time liquid-to-solid ratio investigated to optimize extraction. Kernel exhibited (5.35 mg/g) 40:1 during 20 min main compounds extracts deriving all...
Ricinus communis L. is of great economic importance due to the oil extracted from its seeds. Castor has been used for pharmaceutical and industrial applications, as a lubricant or coating agent, component plastic products, fungicide in synthesis biodiesel fuels. After extraction, castor cake with large amount protein obtained. However, this by-product cannot be animal feed presence toxic (ricin) allergenic (2S albumin) proteins. Here, we propose two processes detoxification allergen...
Ricin is a toxic protein present in castor bean seeds (Ricinus communis). A residue named waste generated during biodiesel production process, such as that developed by PETROBRAS (the national petroleum company of Brazil). Solid-state fermentation (SSF) was used to detoxify through the Penicillium simplicissimum growth. After 24 h fungal growth, ricin no longer identified Sephadex G-50 gel chromatography. In order verify biological activity after several treatment stages, an vitro assay...
Ricinus communis has a great economical importance due to the extracted oil of its seeds that is used for biodiesel synthesis. After extraction, castor meal containing high protein level obtained, however, it can not be animal consumption toxic (ricin) and allergenic (2S albumin) proteins. Two processes detoxification allergens inactivation were proposed. In addition, detection ricin, biological test was introduced. this test, Vero cells treated with ricin cell death measured by counting...
