The present study aimed to evaluate the volatiles profile of red mombin (Spondias purpurea) pulp and its powder produced by spray-drying (SD) as an example to show utility of headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) in the analysis of parameters such as the quality and stability of fruit products. Volatiles profiles of the pulp were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), quantified by gas chromatography-flame ionization detector (GC-FID) and compared to the profile of the powder stored at 0, 60 and 120 days in plastic (PP) or laminated packages (LP). The results showed that the technique was able to identify 36 compounds in the red mombin pulp, 17 out of which have been described for the first time in this fruit, showing that red mombin fresh pulp appears to be unique in terms of volatiles composition. However, only 24 compounds were detected in the powder. This decrease is highly correlated (r(2) = 0.99), at least for the majority of compounds, to the degree of volatility of compounds. Furthermore, the powder stored in PP or LP showed no statistical differences in the amounts of its components for a period of 120 days of storage. Finally, this work shows how HS-SPME analysis can be a valuable tool to assess the quality and stability of fruit products.

This study aimed to evaluate the sensitiveness of the information obtained for the residual lignin from Eucalyptus grandis kraft pulps analyzed through the nitrobenzene oxidation, copper oxide (CuO) reduction and acidolysis techniques. The chips were cooked, resulting pulps of kappa number 14,5 and 16,9, respectively. Both lignins' pulps were evaluated through three methods (nitrobenzene oxidation, copper oxide oxidation and acidolysis). Then, they were subjected to an oxygen delignification stage. The 16,9 kappa number pulp resulted in higher levels of non-condensed lignin structures by the acidolysis method, higher syringyl/vanillin ratios (S/V) by the nitrobenzene and copper oxide methods and better performance in the oxygen delignification stage. The different methods allowed to differ the residual lignin pulps with kappa number 14,5 and 16,9, and the nitrobenzene oxidation method showed the highest sensitiveness in this study results.

The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of acaricide applications and pruning of symptomatic branches in citrus leprosis management in Brazil. It was conducted in an orange plantation of the 'Pera' variety, grafted onto the 'Cleopatra' tangerine, in two seasons (2006-2007 and 2007-2008). The experimental design was randomized blocks in a factorial scheme consisting of the following factors: (A) acaricide, in three levels: spirodiclofen and cyhexatin applied in rotation, lime sulphur; no acaricides; (B) pruning to remove branches that showed symptoms of leprosis, with two levels: with pruning, without pruning. We carried out periodic assessments of Brevipalpus phoenicis (Geijskes) populations (vector of the leprosis virus), leprosis incidence and severity, fruit yield, and the economic feasibility of the applied strategies. Based on the results, we concluded that spirodiclofen and cyhexatin were more effective than lime sulphur in B. phoenicis control. Control with lime sulphur required more applications than spirodiclofen and cyhexatin in rotation, making it more expensive. Pruning of symptomatic branches used in isolation was not sufficiently effective to control leprosis and significantly increased control costs. Profits were higher when the control involved sprayings of spirodiclofen and cyhexatin in alternation, with or without pruning.

A investigação de plantas medicinais é indispensável na busca de novas substâncias com potencial atividade ansiolítica e antidepressiva, visto que a ansiedade e depressão estão entre os distúrbios do sistema nervoso central (SNC) mais relevantes dentre os problemas de saúde mundial. Tais plantas são fontes de óleos essenciais (OE) que frequentemente são utilizados na aromaterapia, pois fornecem substâncias voláteis capazes de curar e prevenir doenças por meio da inalação. Esta prática já se mostrou efetiva sobre o SNC, trazendo benefícios terapêuticos a pacientes que não respondiam bem aos tratamentos convencionais. Uma espécie vegetal cujo OE possui atividade sobre o SNC é o Citrus aurantium L. (laranja amarga), espécie do gênero que mostrou atividade ansiolítica quando utilizado na aromatização de ambiente na sala de espera de um consultório dentário. Aqui avaliamos o potencial efeito ansiolítico e antidepressivo do OE de Citrus aurantium L por via inalatória em camundongos, por meio da resposta comportamental em modelos experimentais de ansiedade, o Labirinto em Cruz Elevado, e de depressão, o Teste do Nado Forçado. Com esta avaliação, o OE não foi efetivo por via inalatória em nenhuma das concentrações testadas (0,5%, 1,0% e 2,5%), tanto para ansiedade quanto para depressão. No entanto, este resultado não exclui a possibilidade de obtenção de tais efeitos se alterada a concentração de OE
