O período de viabilidade das sementes de cupiúva (Tapirira guianensis Aublet.) é muito reduzido, dificultando sua utilização pelos viveiristas. Em função da escassez de pesquisas referente à determinação do teor de água crítico para suas sementes, o trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a qualidade fisiológica das sementes de T. guianensis submetidas a diferentes períodos de secagem, sob temperatura de 40 ºC, em estufa (0; 3; 6; 9; 12; 15; 18; 21 e 24 horas). A avaliação do efeito dos tratamentos foi realizada mediante determinação do teor de água, testes de germinação e vigor (primeira contagem % de sementes germinadas e índice de velocidade de germinação, bem como comprimento e massa seca de plântulas). Verificou-se um teor de água inicial de 36%, o qual foi reduzindo com o aumento dos períodos de secagem; consequentemente, registrou-se a maior porcentagem de germinação (97%) no período zero de secagem, reduzindo para 38% após 9 horas de secagem e, posteriormente, houve perda total da germinação. Quanto ao índice de velocidade de germinação, o maior valor (2,93) ocorreu no período zero de secagem, ocorrendo o mesmo com o comprimento e a massa seca das plântulas, os quais foram reduzidos drasticamente com o aumento dos períodos de secagem. As sementes da espécie T. guianensis são recalcitrantes, perdendo a viabilidade e o vigor à medida que seu teor de água é reduzido; o nível crítico de umidade, abaixo do qual há perda total de viabilidade, está em tomo de 16%.

A lichieira (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) é uma planta da família das Sapindáceas, perfeitamente adaptada às condições climáticas brasileiras e pouco estudada quanto à composição química de seus frutos, sobretudo das frações casca e semente, frequentemente descartadas pela indústria e consumidores. Objetivou-se com este trabalho determinar os constituintes químicos das frações casca, polpa e semente in natura, e da casca e semente submetidas à secagem a 45ºC. Cada fração foi avaliada em sete repetições (de 20 frutos), quanto à massa e à proporção de cada fração em relação ao fruto inteiro, à composição centesimal, ao valor energético total (VET) e aos parâmetros químicos e fisico-químicos: sólidos solúveis, pH e acidez titulável. As frações casca e semente de lichia, juntas, representam cerca de 50% da massa do fruto. A casca e a semente da lichia apresentam elevados VETs e teores de carboidratos. A casca possui os maiores teores de fibra (bruta e alimentar), lipídeos, cinzas e proteínas, e a polpa apresenta maior acidez, menor pH e maiores teores de sólidos solúveis. A secagem aumentou o pH da semente e os teores de sólidos solúveis da casca e semente. As frações de lichia apresentaram elevados potenciais energéticos e nutricionais, podendo ser aproveitadas como fonte alternativa de nutrientes, desde que não apresentem fatores antinutricionais em quantidades prejudiciais ao organismo.

OBJETIVO: Avaliar, no coração, por imuno-histoquímica, a localização das proteínas TGFbeta1 latente e TGFbeta1 ativa, se ocorre ativação radioinduzida da proteína TGFbeta1 latente, e a distribuição das fibras colágenas em diversos períodos de tempo após irradiação. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Trinta e dois camundongos isogênicos (C57BL) foram divididos em dois grupos: GI (não irradiado), com 12 animais, e GII (irradiado), com 20 animais. Os animais do GII receberam radiação gama (telecobaltoterapia, 60Co, com rendimento de 0,97 Gy/min., dose única de 7 Gy em corpo inteiro). Os camundongos dos grupos I e II foram sacrificados por estiramento cervical nos períodos de 1, 14, 30 e 90 dias após irradiação. RESULTADOS: Os corações irradiados apresentaram: 1) alterações nucleares e diminuição das estriações das células musculares cardíacas; 2) aumento significante da deposição de fibras colágenas aos 90 dias depois da irradiação; 3) ativação da proteína TGFbeta1 latente em cardiomiócitos e células do conjuntivo depois da irradiação. CONCLUSÃO: Nossos resultados mostram a importância da proteína TGFbeta1 no processo de fibrose cardíaca radioinduzida e sugerem que células do parênquima (cardiomiócitos) e do conjuntivo podem participar deste mecanismo atuando como fontes da proteína TGFbeta1 ativa.

The catalytic decomposition of soybean oil was studied in a fix bed reactor at 673 and 773 K and using amorphous silica-alumina and the zeolites USY, H-Mordenite and H-ZSM-5 as catalysts. Both the selectivity and the catalytic activity were determined by studying the product composition resulting from the chemical reactions. Physicochemical characteristics of the catalysts were obtained by X-ray fluorescence, Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy, 29Si and 27Al Nuclear Magnetic Ressonance and textural analysis. The zeolites USY and H-ZSM-5, showing higher Brönsted acidity, yielded products with higher concentration in aromatic hydrocarbons, whereas with both H-Mordenite and amorphous silica-alumina the main products were paraffins.

This work describes a modified sol-gel method for the preparation of V2O5/TiO2 catalysts. The samples have been characterized by N2 adsorption at 77K, x-ray diffractometry (XRD) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR). The surface area increases with the vanadia loading from 24 m² g-1, for pure TiO2, to 87 m² g-1 for 9wt.% of V2O5. The rutile form is predominant for pure TiO2 but became enriched with anatase phase when vanadia loading is increased. No crystalline V2O5 phase was observed in the catalysts diffractograms. Two species of surface vanadium observed by FT-IR spectroscopy a monomeric vanadyl and polymeric vanadates, the vanadyl/vanadate ratio remains practically constant.

In this work the formation of multilayers composed by carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), chitosane and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was studied by ellipsometry. First, the adsorption behavior of carboxymethylcellulose onto amino-terminated surfaces was investigated as a function of molecular weight and average degree of substitution of CMC. The influence of these parameters on the adsorbed amount of CMC onto amino-terminated substrates was absent. However, the interaction of CMC covered surfaces with chitosane and BSA was favored when the average degree of substitution of CMC was increased. The adsorption of BSA onto the polysaccharide systems was studied as a function of pH. At the isoelectric point of BSA a maximum in the adsorbed amount was found.

The involvement of lipoxygenase isozymes in several physiological processes of plants has been described but their role is not well understood and more biochemical studies are needed to elucidate the role of the "Lipoxygenase Pathway" in plant physiology. Thus, the biochemical and kinetic characterization of a lipoxygenases "pool" from soybean leaves was carried out. Two genotypes were used: IAC-100 (a normal variety having lipoxygenases in the seeds) and IAC-100 TN (genetically modified genotype, which is devoid of lipoxygenases in the seeds). The plants were submitted to the application of fatty acids (lipoxygenase substrates) on leaves. The results of the biochemical and kinetic studies of lipoxygenase isozymes from leaves of the two genotypes analysed showed that genetic removal of lipoxygenase from seeds did not affect the response of the plant to the treatment, since both genotypes showed similar results.

The aim of this study is to determine the influence of frying time on the alterations of sunflower, corn and soybean oils during deep fat frying of potato chips. The analytical methods used to evaluate the oil alterations are: free fatty acids, peroxide value, refractive index and total polar compounds. An increase of free fatty acids, refractive index and total polar compounds with frying time were observed. The different behaviors observed for the three vegetables oils can be explained by the differences in the initial composition and quality of them.

A series of bovine serum albumin-immobilized supports have been prepared and used as restricted access media (RAM) columns. Restricted-access supports combine size-exclusion of proteins and other high-molar-mass matrix components with the simultaneous enrichment of low-molar mass analytes. These characteristics were chromatographically evaluated for the columns. The RAM-BSA (Bovine Serum Albumin) columns showed excellent performance for exclusion of human plasma protein with good retention capacity for a series of acidic, basic, and neutral drugs.

Leaves of Lippia alba were submitted to six different drying treatments, using air at ambient temperature and heated up to 80 °C. The essential oil was extracted by steam distillation and analyzed by GC-MS. For the dried leaves, the oil content was reduced by 12 to 17% when compared with the fresh plant (0.66%). The major oil component was citral, representing 76% for the fresh plant, and varying from 82 to 84% for the dried material. These results showed that L. alba can be submitted to a drying process of up to 80 ºC without degradation and/or loss of the major, [LC1] active component.

NMR is a valuable screening tool for the binding of ligands to proteins providing structural information on both protein and ligands and is thus largely applied to drug-discovery. Among the recent NMR techniques to probe weak binding protein-ligand complexes we have critically evaluated the advantages and disadvantages of STD (Saturation Transfer Difference), WaterLOGSY (Water Ligand Observation with Gradient Spectroscopy), NOE pumping and DOSY-NOESY (Diffusion-Ordered NOESY) using a mixture of BSA (bovine serum albumin) plus salicylic acid, caffeine, citric acid, adipic acid and D-glucose.
