AVALIAÇÃO DE UM PROTOCOLO PARA MULTIPLICAÇÃO IN VITRO DA BANANEIRA (Musa sp.) CV. CAIPIRA (AAA)

Explantes de bananeira cv. Caipiras (AAA) foram cultivados in vitro. Nas subculturas de estabelecimento e multiplicação, o meio utilizado foi MS + 5 mg/l de BAP e, na de enraizamento, 50%MS sem BAP. Na avaliação das subculturas, a maior contaminação ocorreu no estabelecimento (74,7%), seguindo decrescente até o enraizamento, com 5,6%. O número de brotos por frasco diminui ao longo das subculturas, atingindo 3,7 brotos na subculturas 1 e 1,7 na subcultura 4. O tamanho dos brotos permaneceu entre 24 e 26 mm, nas subculturas de 1 a 3, diminuindo na subcultura 4, com 22 mm. Como conseqüência, a classe de brotos menores (x Symbol>£ 20 mm) predominou, variando de 56% na subcultura 1 para 65% na subcultura 4. No enraizamento, a predominância (62%) foi de brotos na faixa entre 30 e 60 mm, com média de 4,6 brotos por frasco. A avaliação geral do processo indicou um rendimento real de 70,9 mudas/rizoma.

Métodos de obtenção e aplicações sintéticas de tiazóis, uma importante classe de compostos heterocíclicos

Thiazoles comprise an important class of heterocyclic compounds present in many potent biologically active molecules. This heterocyclic ring also shows various applications in organic synthesis to obtain new compounds. This paper presents different methodologies for the preparation of thiazole ring systems, as well as their synthetic applications.

2-fenilbenzotriazóis (PBTA): uma nova classe de contaminantes ambientais

This work is a literature review of PBTAs, the phenylbenzotriazoles generated from the reduction and chlorination of azo dyes. The PBTAs and the non- chlorinated PBTAs were isolated for the first time from river blue rayon organic extracts that showed high mutagenic activity in the Salmonella/microsome genotoxicity assay. To date, 8 PBTAs have been identified and beside their mutagenic activity in bacteria they cause genotoxic effects in fish and mammalian cell cultures. Due to the large number of textile dyeing facilities in Brazil, studies to determine them in the aquatic environment seem to be relevant.

MONITORAMENTO DE RES��DUOS DE AGROTÓXICOS DA CLASSE DOS ORGANOFOSFORADOS POR CGDFC EM AMOSTRAS DE LEITE FLUÍDO E EM PÓ

Samples of whole fluid pasteurized, UHT and powdered milk were analyzed for the presence of organophosphorus pesticide residues (OPR) using the QuEChERS method with detection by GC-FPD and confirmation by UPLC-MS/MS. A total of 23% of fluid milk samples and 27% of powdered milk samples contained at least one organophosphorus residue. The OPR found in the samples showed these can reach the milk and remain even after pasteurization, sterilization and drying processes. Some domestic sanitary residues were also present in the powdered milk samples. These residues have no LMR in Brazilian food legislation and are therefore not taken into account in food intake evaluations. There was an unidentified chromatographic peak in 30% of all the liquid and powdered milk samples, indicating the presence of some other contaminant.
