Sugarcane (Saccharum sp.) is an important grass cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions of the world, such as in Br, Ind, and Ch, and has its biomass being raw material for production of sugar, fuel ethanol, and some other derivatives. Fungal diseases infect sugarcane fields worldwide, damaging crops and thus, causing great economic losses. Fungal specialized structures act during all Pathogen-Host Relationship Cycle (PHRC) (survival, dissemination, infection, colonization, and reproduction of pathogen), maintaining fungal populations in cultivation soil, infecting plants in following crops and vegetative propagation of sugarcane by infected seeds may allow fungal transportation into regions where diseases haven’t occured before. Biotechnological methods and approaches have significantly contributed to understanding of the relationship among parasite and host, as to diseases management (control, detection, and prevention). Some techniques have daily applications in Agriculture, while others are only used in research and to breeding of host resistant varieties. Among notable diseases, smut (Sporisorium scitamineum) and pineapple disease (Ceratocystis paradoxa) are important because they cause damage and losses in sugarcane regions, although there are different periods for each one to occur. This work aims to review the PHRC for each patosystem, the biotechnological methods and approaches and its perspectives in the study and management of these diseases. As environment is an important factor to the effectiveness of PHRC, one chapter is dedicated to Global Climate Change (GCC) and its possible influences over these diseases in a longterm period

A cachaça é uma bebida exclusivamente brasileira que vem conquistando espaço no mercado dentre as bebidas alcoólicas destiladas. Porém, o Brasil é responsável pelo consumo de 99% do total produzido por ano e apenas 1% é exportado. Isso se deve à falta de padronização na produção e de conhecimento por parte dos produtores, que levam a contaminação por compostos indesejáveis produzindo uma bebida de baixa qualidade, tanto físico-química quanto sensorialmente. Os métodos de redestilação e filtração em carvão ativado vêm sendo alternativas para melhoria da qualidade. Amostras de cachaças foram submetidas a esses métodos e avaliadas quanto à composição química e a qualidade sensorial. As análises químicas de acidez volátil, aldeídos, ésteres, metanol, álcoois superiores e carbamato de etila foram realizadas em triplicatas utilizando cromatografia gasosa. Para a análise sensorial, as amostras foram submetidas ao Teste de Aceitação utilizando escala hedônica híbrida de nove pontos e avaliadas pelo Teste de Kruskal-Wallis. Foi aplicado também o Teste de Ordenação para avaliar a preferência entre as amostras e a Intenção de Compra foi avaliada utilizando-se uma escala de cinco pontos, de certamente não compraria a certamente compraria. A redestilação reduziu os níveis de acidez volátil, cobre e carbamato de etila enquanto a filtração diminuiu as concentrações de aldeídos e ésteres. Os processos de redestilação e filtração em carvão ativado não alteraram a aceitação da bebida, mantendo seu perfil sensorial e melhoraram a composição química.

This work had with objective to characterize and evaluate the performance of the combined system, involving activated charcoal and ionic exchange resins in the removal of substances organic contaminating of the ethyl alcohol from the fermentation of the cassava starch. To testing was used ethyl alcohol PA 96 oGL, conductivity of 0.90 μS/cm at 25 oC, acidity of 60 mg/L and Barbet test of 43 minutes at 15 oC. The contaminated alcohol was composed of ethyl alcohol additive of higher alcohols, organic acids, ester, diol, aldehydes, ketone and ether. Contaminated alcohol was added 2% activated charcoal and after the adsorption isotherm in ionic exchange resins was tested. The adsorption with activated charcoal was performed in a Water Bath at 30 oC for one hour and a half and shaking. Already adsorption ionic exchange columns occurred at room temperature on columns of 93,4 cm in filling height and diameter of 2.29 cm, for flows of 180 mL/min and 90 mL/min. Samples were collected in the tests with charcoal and with each one of the resins and the following analyses were performed: conductivity, acidity and Barbet test. The medium values for conductivity, acidity and Barbet test after the adsorption in charcoal and cation and anion resins were respectively: conductivity was 240; 354 and 465 μS/cm to 25 oC; acidity of 1.081; 1.103 and 1.062 mg/L and the Barbet test was 21; 20 and 9 minutes to 15 oC. It was observed that the addition of 2% of activated charcoal and the permanence in the columns of adsorption was not sufficient to remove the organic substances contaminating of the ethyl alcohol.

Introduction: Bamboos belong to the family Graminae, Bambusoidae subfamily, represented by about 1,250 species worldwide. Originally employed in construction and power, are currently the subject of investigations related to its therapeutic properties in neoplasms. The main species used for therapeutic purposes based on popular knowledge are: Phyllostachys nigra; Bambusa breiflora; tuldoides Bambusa textilis and Bambusa. The literature on the therapeutic action of bamboo species is scarce, but recent studies report a promising effect in the treatment of cancer and other chronic diseases. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate qualitatively the phytochemical composition of plant extract obtained from the leaves of the bamboo species Bambusa textilis, comparing this composition from vegetable leaves with 18 and 24 months of age. Methodology: After collecting plant leaves with 18 or 24 months, they were identified and submitted to drying and milling. For qualitative analysis of its components were employed methods of macroscopic evaluation (mucilage), method of benzoin (resin), reaction Shinoda (flavonoids), reaction with gelatin solution (tannins), boiling and foaming (saponins) and jobs of reactive Wagner, Bertrand, Dragendorff, Mayer, picric acid and tannic acid (alkaloids) (Biavatti; MILK, 2007). Results: in the youngest leaves were found positive for alkaloids, flavonoids, resins and saponins. In the leaves of the plant with 24 months were found only alkaloids flavonoids and resins. Conclusion: the composition of vegetable substances were found associated with a significant therapeutic potential difference and the phytochemical composition in comparison with plant leaves 18 or 24 months. Additional studies are needed to quantify these components, as well as the clarification of its action in the fight against cancer and chronic diseases.

Análise parâmetros elétricos consumo, fator de carga e demanda de empresas de refino de óleo vegetal
Resumo:
Empresas muitas vezes tem seu consumo de energia elétrica descontrolados por possuírem motores elétricos muitas vezes super-dimensionados, trabalhando em vazio ou em horário de pico. Sendo este tipo de atividade responsável por grande parte do gasto energético da empresa. Existem dois fatores que avaliam o modo de utilização desta energia, denominados fator de potência (fp) e fator de carga (fc), que indicam a eficiência e racionalidade da forma de utilização da energia elétrica, respectivamente. A necessidade de uma avaliação global da utilização da energia, levando em consideração os dois fatores citados, é realizada por especialistas da área energética para a determinação da situação real da empresa. Podendo ser uma tarefa árdua muitas vezes demorada. Para isto é necessária uma análise estatística descritiva dos dados. Este trabalho tem como objetivo realizar esta analise de dados de uma empresa de refino de óleo vegetal.
