Criopreservação de sêmen equino: uma revisão

A utilização do sêmen resfriado na espécie equina é amplamente difundida, no entanto, quando se trata do sêmen congelado existem certos entraves, os quais tornam o emprego desta biotécnica limitado. Porém seu uso está crescendo e com isso pesquisas com meios diluidores e protocolos de congelação têm sido realizados, a fim de se estabelecer um protocolo que seja eficiente para a congelação do sêmen da maioria dos garanhões. Essa revisão sistemática tem como objetivo a análise de estudos que tratam da congelabilidade do sêmen equino, bem como os principais componentes de um meio diluidor, a fim de demonstrar suas funções e fornecer alternativas para a substituição ou associação, principalmente de crioprotetores. Para tanto, foram utilizadas bases de dados com a seguinte estratégia: criopreservação, congelamento, diluentes, crioprotetores, glicerol, leite, sêmen e equino, presentes no título ou resumo. Dentre os artigos encontrados foram selecionados 15 artigos nas línguas portuguesa, espanhola e inglesa, publicados em revistas científicas ou teses de mestrado, doutorado e trabalhos de conclusão de curso. Tais artigos permitiram concluir que não existem protocolos de congelamento definidos para grupos de animais, mas que deve ser observado cada indivíduo, ressaltando sua peculiaridade e estabelecendo o melhor diluente e protocolo

Tempo, finitude, velhice e fotografia

This article analyzes and discusses the experience of time in old age through the relations of the elderly with photography. We did photography workshops with a group of elders exploring with them the sense of the photographic act death, as an act of freezing and stopping time and also the sense of exploring the future to create, through the photographic act, an image that can symbolize moving on in life.

Behavior of Staphylococcus aureus and autochthone microbiota in fresh sausages added of sodium nitrite and stored under refrigeration

Fresh sausages are cured meat products that may be contaminated with Staphylococcus aureus during the manufacturing procedure, which is frequently related with inadequate handling practices. The use of nitrite in meat products has proven efficacy against Clostridium botulinum, and studies indicate that bactericidal action against S. aureus depends on factors that are intrinsic and extrinsic to the product. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of nitrite concentration, and pH on S. aureus and psychrotrophic autochthone microbiota in fresh sausages stored at different times and temperatures. Fresh sausage were produced at nitrite concentrations 50, 150 and 200ppm and contaminated with S. aureus. The sausages were storage at refrigeration (7 and 12 degrees C) and the quantification of S. aureus and psychrotrophic microorganisms was carried out on days 0, 2, 4, 7, and 10. Results showed that nitrite concentrations and the temperatures used had minimal effect on the multiplication of S. amens and psychrotrophic autochthone microbiota. Final counts depended only on the length of storage: at the end of 10 days, counts were statistically similar in the different groups, showing that temperature and nitrite concentrations used did not control microbial growth effectively. It is suggested that the product should be stored below 7 degrees C or at freezing temperatures for greater microbiological stability.

Análise estrutural de aerogéis via espalhamento de luz a baixo ângulo

The sol-gel process is a method for obtaining vitreous or vitro-ceramic materials which, are prepared a sol and by drying the liquid phase. This technique has been used extensively for the preparation of glassy gels, films, fibers and particles from the hydrolysis and polycondensation reactions of metal alkoxides. The usual methods for drying are: evaporation drying (xerogels), freeze drying (criogéis) and via supercritical CO2 extraction (aerogels). In the present work, we studied the preparation of silica gels by the sol-gel process from the hydrolysis of alkoxides tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) and 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTS). The hydrolysis was promoted from GPTS and TEOS in proportion (4: 1) under acidic conditions. The hydrolysis reaction was promoted inside a Becker at room temperature. After hydrolyses the prepared sol had pH 2, and kept under mechanical agitation for a period of 1 hour. In order to accelerate the polycondensation reaction, the pH was corrected to a value near 5 by slowly adding NH4OH. Then the sols were leaked in sealed polycarbonate containers and maintained for 20 days at 40°C for gelation. Silica aerogels were prepared via supercritical CO2 extraction of the wet gel at temperature and pressure higher than 31°C and 74 atm, in an autoclave specially developed for the process. The structural characteristics were studied in the dry gel (aerogel). Aerogels were then characterized by nitrogen adsorption and small angle light scattering. The nitrogen adsorption data were analyzed for the determination of the BET specific surface (SBET), the total pore volume Vp, the pore mean size (lP=4Vp/SBET), the particle mean size (lS) and the pore size distribution (PSD). And the data from small angle light scattering were analyzed to determine the correlation function (γ'), the area per unit volume (S/V), average pore size (l ) and the average particle size...

Avaliação microbiológica e sensorial do guacamole conservado pelo frio

Avocado (Persea americana Mill.) is a product grown in tropical and subtropical regions and from it we can extract products like guacamole which is highly consumed in the Mexican culinary. The most used varieties for guacamole are the Hass and Fuerte. The present research had as objective to evaluate the microbiological and sensorial quality of the guacamole conserved through cold with no addition of additives. The microbiological analyses have shown the product reached satisfactory results as for the analysis of total and thermoenduring coliform < 3,0 UFC/g, Salmonella absent in 25g, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus < 100 UFC/g, presenting values within the patterns set by RDC of Anvisa 12 of January 2nd 2001. The analyses of mesophile bacteria and the counting of mold and yeast reached values between 102 and 104 UFC/g and the psychrotropic bactéria presented values < 100 UFC/g. The sensorial anlyses have shown that the polyethylene package isn't effective in keeping the analysed sensorial parameters. Although the polyethylene and nylon packages had better results, however they didn't differentiate themselves so as the vacuum use.
