ESTUDO DA PREPARAÇÃO DOS EXTRATOS DE PRÓPOLIS E SUAS APLICAÇÕES

Ethanolic extracts from propolis were performed by using lhe water and vaflous coneentrations of etanol as solvent. The extracts were investigated by measurement of absorption spectruin with Uv-spectrophotometer (UV-scanning), reversed phase-high performance thin-layer chromatography, Reversed phase-HPLC. Maximum absorption of ali extracts was 290 nm, resembling flavonoid compounds and 80% ethanolic extract showed highest absorption at 290 nm. The most isosakuranetin, quercefin, and kaempferol were extracted from mixtures of propolis and 60% etanol, whereas 70% etanol extracted te most pinocembrin and sakuranetin, but 80% etanol extracted more kaempferide, acacetin, and isorhamnetin from propolis. The 60 to 80% ethanolic extracts ofpropolis inhibited highly to microbial growth and 70 and 80% ethanolic extracts showed lhe greatest antioxidant activity and 80% ethanolic extract inhibited highly to hyaluronidase activity.

PREDIÇÃO DA ATIVIDADE DE ÁGUA E RELAÇÃO ENTRE A ATIVIDADE DE ÁGUA E A DEPRESSÃO DO PONTO DE CONGELAMENTO DE SUCOS DE FRUTAS

This work proposes to determine the water activity and the freezing point depression of tangerine, pineapple and lemon juices at various concentrations (10-55oBrix) and to achieve a correlation between these properties. The freezing point depression was determined with a LAKTRON cryoscope and common laboratory materials. The water activity was determined with a DECAGON CX-2 hygrometer in the temperature range of 15 to 30oC. With the results, the adjustment to CHEN (1987) water activity prediction equation to non-electrolyte mixtures was verified, through the calculation of the variation coefficient (CV). Being CV smaller than 3% for the proposed model, it can be said that the experimental data have adjusted well to the prediction equation. The water activity and the freezing point depression was correlated for tangerine, pineapple and lemon juices and r2 values were higher than 99%. Therefore, it is possible to obtain the water activity by knowing the freezing point depression of studied juices.
