Com este estudo objetivou-se avaliar o efeito do fotoperíodo sobre a composição centesimal de filés de juvenis de tilápia do Nilo. Utilizou-se um delineamento inteiramente casualizado com cinco tratamentos (0L:24E; 6L:18E; 12L:12E; 18L:6E; 24L:0E) e quatro repetições. Foram utilizados 160 alevinos de tilápia, distribuídos em 20 aquários (20L) em sistema de recirculação, temperatura controlada em 27 ºC e densidade de oito peixes por aquário. Os peixes foram alimentados duas vezes ao dia, com ração comercial extrusada contendo 40% de proteína bruta. Ao final de 75 dias, amostras do filé foram coletadas e armazenadas em freezer (-80 ºC) para posteriores análises da composição bromatológica. Não houve efeito dos diferentes fotoperíodos sobre a umidade e cinzas do filé (P>0,05). Por outro lado, os peixes sob fotoperíodo de 18L:6E apresentaram maior quantidade de proteína e retenção desta no filé, assim como menor quantidade de gordura e retenção de lipídeo (P<0,05). Portanto, pode-se concluir que o fotoperíodo pode alterar a composição corporal de alevinos de tilápia do Nilo, sendo que e o fotoperíodo de 18L:6E contribui para o aumento da concentração de proteína bruta e uma menor deposição de gordura no filé.

Avaliou-se a composição centesimal e análise físico-química do Lentinus strigosus, um cogumelo comestível de ocorrência na Amazônia brasileira, produzidos em substratos alternativos à base de resíduos madeireiros e agroindustriais. Com este objetivo, determinou-se C, N, pH, sólidos solúveis, atividade de água, proteína, lipídios, fibra total, cinzas, carboidratos e energia. Os substratos foram formulados a partir de serragem de Simarouba amara Aubl. (marupá), Ochroma piramidale Cav. ex. Lam. (pau-de-balsa) e Anacardium giganteum (cajuí); e do estipe de Bactris gasipaes Kunth (pupunheira) e de Saccharum officinarum (cana-de-açúcar). Os resultados demonstraram que: a composição nutricional do L. strigosus variou com o substrato de cultivo; os valores de proteína encontrados nos cogumelos cultivados nos diferentes substratos (18 - 21,5%) variaram de acordo com o substrato, sendo considerados elevados; os sólidos solúveis presentes nos cogumelos podem ter relação com vitaminas hidrossolúveis do complexo B; o L. strigosus pode ser considerado um importante alimento devido suas características nutricionais: alto teor de proteína, carboidratos metabolizáveis e fibras; baixos teores de lipídios e de calorias.

This study aimed to characterize the physical and chemical composition of ten items of arracacha grown in the municipality of São Manuel for the 2009 harvest. In the roots of the clones BGH (4560, 5741, 5744, 5746, 5747, 6414, 6513, 6525 and 7609) and the cultivar Amarela de Senador Amaral the characteristics evaluated were: color (L *, a * and b *) and moisture, ash, crude fiber, raw grease, protein, reducing sugars, total sugars and starch. After obtaining the data, an analysis was performed for the variance of test F and comparisons between the means made by the Tukey test at 5% probability. There was no significant difference to the results of luminosity (L *) while BGH 6414 and BGH 5744 showed the highest values for chroma and * BGH 5741, BGH 6414, BGH 7609, 'Amarela de Senador Amaral' BGH 5747 presented the highest chroma values for b *. Clones BGH 7609 and BGH 6414 showed significantly higher levels of dry matter and with the potential yield of agro-industrial processes it would be best suited in the form of frying. The materials that showed significantly larger amounts of ash were BGH 6525, BGH 5747, 'Amarela de Senador Amaral ", BGH 4560, BGH 5746, BGH 6513. Regarding the contents of fatty matter BGH 6525, BGH 5741 and BGH 5744 showed the highest levels. The results of BGH 7609 showed crude fiber significantly higher than the other materials tested, it can be used in diets composed of fibers. BGH 4560 and cultivar had the highest crude protein. BGH 5741 showed the lowest reducing sugar content among the clones, but not significantly different from results found for the cultivar. All clones showed total sugar levels were higher in the cultivar, which may have more flavor. BGH 5741, BGH 5746, BGH 6525 and BGH 6513 showed significantly higher starch content than the cultivar Amarela de Senador Amaral. From these results we conclude that the clones have similar color characteristics, and are potentially a nutritionally adequate substitute for the cultivar.

The cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) is a major food crops in northeastern Brazil. In Rio Grande do Norte, the cowpea, vigna beans or cowpea, as it is known, has great socioeconomic importance as a source of nutrients in food, with great emphasis among agricultural products. To improve productivity and resistance to pests, two cultivars were developed exclusively by EMPARN (Agricultural Research Corporation of Rio Grande do Norte), for breeding. The samples were provided by EMPARN, two improved (Potiguar and Laugh year) and two landraces (Rib of beef and Canapu). The seeds were ground and made into flour samples and the determination of moisture and ash by graviméticos methods, lipids by Soxhlet extraction, fibers with determiner fiber, carbohydrates by difference and minerals by ICP-OES were performed except the match analyzed by UVvis. The results showed a high fiber content (55.55% and 55.32% and 50.04% improved samples and 50.32% creole samples) and protein (25.52% and 25.27% improved and 27 samples, 23% and 24.99% creole samples). Comparing the results of the mineral content, the improved cultivars stood out in relation to Ca, Co, P, Mg, Mo and Na. Creole cultivars showed better results for Cu, Cr (low), Fe, Mn, Ni, K and Zn. The results will be important in future nutritional research and to build a table of Brazilian chemical composition of foods.

Seaweeds sulfated polysaccharides have been described as having various pharmacological activities. However, nothing is known about the influence of salinity on the structure of sulfated polysaccharides from green seaweed and pharmacological activities they perform. Therefore, the main aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of salinity of seawater on yield and composition of polysaccharides-rich fractions from green seaweed Caulerpa cupressoides var. flabellata, collected in two different salinities beaches of the coast of Rio Grande do Norte, and to verify the influence of salinity on their biological activities. We extracted four sulfated polysaccharides-rich fractions from C. cupressoides collected in Camapum beach (denominated CCM F0.3; F0.5; F1.0; F2.0), which the seawater has higher salinity, and Buzios beach (denominated CCB F0.3; F0.5; F1.0; F2.0). Different from that observed for other seaweeds, the proximate composition of C. cupressoides did not change with increased salinity. Moreover, interestingly, the C. cupresoides have high amounts of protein, greater even than other edible seaweeds. There was no significant difference (p>0.05) between the yield of polysaccharide fractions of CCM and its CCB counterparts, which indicates that salinity does not interfere with the yield of polysaccharide fractions. However, there was a significant difference in the sulfate/sugar ratio of F0.3 (p<0.05) and F0.5 (p<0.01) (CCM F0.3 and CCB F0.5 was higher than those determined for their counterparts), while the sulfate/sugar ratio the F1.0 and F2.0 did not change significantly (p>0.05) with salinity. This result suggested that the observed difference in the sulfate/sugar ratio between the fractions from CCM and CCB, is not merely a function of salinity, but probably also is related to the biological function of these biopolymers in seaweed. In addition, the salinity variation between collection sites did not influence algal monosaccharide composition, eletrophoretic mobility or the infrared spectrum of polysaccharides, demonstrating that the salinity does not change the composition of sulfated polysaccharides of C. cupressoides. There were differences in antioxidant and anticoagulant fractions between CCM and CCB. CCB F0.3 (more sulfated) had higher total antioxidant capacity that CCM F0.3, since the chelating ability the CCM F0.5 was more potent than CCB F0.5 (more sulfated). These data indicate that the activities of sulfated polysaccharides from CCM and CCB depend on the spatial patterns of sulfate groups and that it is unlikely to be merely a charge density effect. C. cupressoides polysaccharides also exhibited anticoagulant activity in the intrinsic (aPTT test) and extrinsic pathway (PT test). CCB F1.0 and CCM F1.0 showed different (p<0,001) aPTT activity, although F0.3 and F0.5 showed no difference (p>0,05) between CCM and CCB, corroborating the fact that the sulfate/sugar ratio is not a determining factor for biological activity, but rather for sulfate distribution along the sugar chain. Moreover, F0.3 and F0.5 activity in aPTT test was similar to that of clexane®, anticoagulant drug. In addition, F0.5 showed PT activity. These results suggest that salinity may have created subtle differences in the structure of sulfated polysaccharides, such as the distribution of sulfate groups, which would cause differences in biological activities between the fractions of the CCM and the CCB

O gergelim (Sesamum indicum L.) é considerado uma das principais oleaginosas cultivadas mundialmente, fonte de lipídios, proteínas, minerais e vitaminas e antioxidantes importantes para a saúde humana. São poucos os estudos que analisaram as características químicas do gergelim. O objetivo deste trabalho foi caracterizar a composição química das diferentes marcas comerciais de sementes de gergelim (branco e negro), da farinha de gergelim, óleo de gergelim bruto e leite de gergelim negro. Este estudo foi realizado em laboratórios do Instituto de Nutrição e do Instituto de Química da UERJ e em laboratório na cidade de Campinas, em São Paulo. Foram realizadas análises, na farinha e nas sementes, de composição centesimal, fibras, cálcio, magnésio, zinco, cobre, potássio, manganês, vitamina E, betacaroteno e ácidos graxos. No óleo e no leite, foram analisados minerais, exceto cálcio e magnésio, e vitaminas E, betacaroteno, ácidos graxos e, no óleo, índices de acidez e peróxido. Avaliações microbiológicas também foram realizadas nas sementes de gergelim branco e negro e na farinha. Os resultados foram submetidos à análise de variância (ANOVA), com pós teste de Tukey para comparação das médias entre os grupos e para comparar dois grupos foi utilizado o teste t. O intervalo de confiança foi de 95%. Foi utilizado o software GraphPad Prism 5. Foram observadas diferenças significativas entre as diferentes marcas das sementes, assim como diferenças entre a farinha e as sementes de gergelim negro e branco, em relação à grande maioria das análises realizadas. O óleo de gergelim apresentou excelente padrão de identidade e qualidade, além de ótimo perfil de ácidos graxos, dentro das recomendações da legislação, apresentando-se como a melhor fonte de vitamina E dentro os produtos analisados. O gergelim foi considerado rico em cálcio, tendo o gergelim negro como a principal fonte (983,25 mg/100g) com grande diferença significativa em relação ao gergelim branco (p<0,0001), além de ser a principal fonte de fibras insolúveis (27,71%), o que faz com que o gergelim negro possa ter alegações de propriedades funcionais. A farinha de gergelim foi considerada a principal fonte de cobre (2,18 mg/100g) e magnésio (388,00 mg/100g), apresentando diferença significativa com a semente negra (p<0,05). O óleo de gergelim foi a principal fonte de potássio (16%) e vitamina E (28,34 mg/100g). Além disso, foi considerado fonte de ácido graxo monoinsaturado oleico e poli-insaturado linoleico, com 47,62 % e 35,32 %, respectivamente, com diferenças significativas em relação aos outros produtos (p<0,0001) e baixa quantidade de ômega 3. Em relação às avaliações microbiológicas na farinha e sementes, todos os resultados mostraram que os produtos encontram-se dentro dos critérios microbiológicos estabelecidos pela legislação e, portanto, próprios para o consumo humano. Nosso estudo caracterizou a composição nutricional de diferentes produtos de gergelim que apresentaram características físicas, químicas e microbiológicas importantes e adequadas à saúde humana, com boas quantidades de cálcio, magnésio, cobre, fibras alimentares e ácidos graxos insaturados, podendo contribuir para a aplicabilidade clínica

Devido ao seu elevado valor nutricional e capacidades tecnologias, as sementes de chia (Salvia hispanica L.), são consideradas um alimento promissor para o desenvolvimento de produtos funcionais, tendo por base a valorização das suas propriedades gelificantes. A caracterização da capacidade gelificante e da concentração ótima de farinha de chia a utilizar na formulação de novos produtos foi realizada através da análise das propriedades físicas e químicas da farinha e dos géis respetivos, para diferentes gamas de concentrações e diferentes condições de processamento. Os resultados obtidos em termos da composição centesimal da farinha de chia reforçam o conhecimento já generalizado sobre o seu valor nutricional, aumentando o seu potencial no desenvolvimento de novos produtos funcionais. Considerando a matéria-prima utilizada, as condições ótimas para a produção dos géis foram 13% (m/m) de farinha de chia hidratada durante 30 minutos, seguindo-se um tratamento térmico a 90°C/30min e subsequente arrefecimento a 5°C. Verificou-se também que a presença de sal ou de açúcar na formulação do produto permite a obtenção de preparações culinárias com características sensorialmente aceitáveis, sendo por isso possível inovar em diversos sentidos na aplicação da farinha de chia como ingrediente alimentar.

Linseed is an important oilseed consumed raw as nutritional supplement, that although represents a rich source of nutrients, its nutritional value could be impaired due to the presence of antinutritional factors. In this study, protein fractions from raw linseed flour were extracted and isolated being obtained 12% of albumins, 82% of globulins, 5% of glutelins and 1% of prolamins. These proteins were visualized by SDS-PAGE and albumins showed low molecular mass protein bands around 21 kDa and minor bands, similar to that of trypsin inhibitor; Globulins presented protein bands with high molecular masses, which possibly are constituents of multimeric proteins, such as legumins. After determination of the centesimal composition of raw linseed, it was used as exclusive protein source for young rats to evaluate its effect on animal growth. The results showed negative effects on rat growth (weight gain 73% less than the control group) and reduction of intestinal villus (35%), that could be related with in vitro and in vivo globulin digestibility and proteinaceous antinutritional factors (mammalian digestive enzymes inhibitors and lectins) in albumin fraction. Native globulins showed, by SDS-PAGE, low susceptibility in vitro to trypsin and chymotrypsin, however presented high degradation by pancreatin. Thermal treatment of globulins for 5 and 15 minutes at 100ºC improved considerably its digestibility by trypsin and pancreatin. Globulins presented 93.2% in vivo digestibility, similar to the control protein. Albumin fraction had high trypsin inhibition activity (100%) and chymotrypsin inhibition of 28.3%; haemagglutinating activity was not detected. The results of this study indicate the negative action of trypsin inhibitors on animal growth, but can not be discarded its combined action with other antinutritional factors, which could compromise the raw linseed utilization as an alternative food

Several pharmacological properties have been attributed to isolated compounds from mushroom. Recently, have these compounds, especially the polysaccharides derived from mushrooms, modulate the immune system, and its antitumor, antiviral, antibiotic and antiinflammatory activities. This study assesses the possible pharmacological properties of the polysaccharides from Scleroderma nitidum mushroom. The centesimal composition of the tissue showed that this fungus is composed mainly of fibers (35.61%), ash (33.69%) and carbohydrates (25.31%). The chemical analysis of the polysaccharide fraction showed high levels of carbohydrates (94.71%) and low content of protein (5.29%). These polysaccharides are composed of glucose, galactose, mannose and fucose in the following molar ratios 0.156, 0.044, 0.025, 0.066 and the infrared analysis showed a possible polysaccharide-protein complex. The polysaccharides from Scleroderma nitidum showed antioxidant potential with concentration-dependent antioxidant activity compared to ascorbic acid. The analysis scavenging of superoxide radical and inhibition of lipid peroxidation showed that the polysaccharides from S. nitidum have an IC50 of 12.70 mg/ml and EC50 10.4 μg/ml, respectively. The antioxidant activity was confirmed by the presence of reducing potential of these polysaccharides. The effect of these polymers on the inflammatory process was tested using the carrageenan or histamine-induced paw edema model and the sodium thioglycolate or zymosan-induced model. The polysaccharides were effective in reducing edema (73% at 50 mg/kg) and cell infiltrate (37% at 10 mg/kg) in both inflammation models tested. Nitric oxide, a mediator in the inflammatory process, showed a reduction of around 26% at 10 mg/kg of body weight. Analysis of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines showed that in the groups treated with polysaccharides from S. nitidum there was an increase in cytokines such as IL-1ra, IL-10, and MIP-1β concomitant with the decrease in INF-γ (75%) and IL-2 (22%). We observed the influence of polysaccharides on the modulation of the expression of nuclear factor κB. Thus, polysaccharides from S. nitidum reduced the expression of NF-κB by up to 64%. The results obtained suggest that NF-κB modulation is one of the possible mechanisms that explain the anti-inflammatory effect of polysaccharides from the fungus S. nitidum.
