O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a atividade antioxidante de extrato de folhas de oliveira (EFO) (Olea europaea L.) por diferentes metodologias analíticas in vitro e in situ, para verificação de efeito em sistemas biológicos. O extrato foi obtido a partir de folhas secas de oliveira, previamente micronizadas, em metanol/água (80/20%) na proporção 1:20 (m/v), após remoção de compostos solúveis em n-hexano. Após liofilização, no EFO foi avaliado o poder redutor por Folin-Ciocalteau, conteúdo de flavonoides totais, teor de oleuropeina, poder de redução do íon férrico (FRAP) e atividade antioxidante sobre DPPHo, ABTSo+, ânion superóxido (O2o-), ácido hipocloroso (HOCl) e óxido nítrico (NOo). O extrato foi também avaliado quanto ao efeito protetor sobre danos oxidativos em eritrócitos humanos. O ácido ascórbico foi utilizado como referência. O experimento foi repetido seis vezes (n = 6) e os ensaios realizados em duplicata. O poder redutor do extrato e o conteúdo de flavonoides totais e oleuropeína foram 131,7 ± 9,4 mg equivalente de ácido gálico/g extrato seco (ms), 19,4 ± 1,3 mg equivalente de quercetina/g ms e 25,5 ± 5,2 mg oleuropeína/g ms, respectivamente. O ensaio de FRAP apresentou 281,8 ± 22,8 mg equivalente de trolox/g ms. O EFO foi efetivo na inibição dos radicais DPPHo e ABTSo+, dependente da concentração de extrato, com valores de IC50 de 13,8 ± 0,8 e 16,1 ± 1,2 µg/mL, respectivamente. Com relação à atividade antioxidante sobre espécies reativas de importância biológica, o EFO apresentou forte capacidade de inibição de O2o- (IC50 = 52,6 ± 2,1 µg/mL) e NOo (IC50 = 48,4 ± 6,8 µg/mL), quando comparado ao ácido ascórbico. Porém, a inibição de HOCl não foi tão eficiente (IC50 = 714,1 ± 31,4 µg/mL). O EFO inibiu a hemólise induzida em eritrócitos de maneira dependente da concentração (IC50 = 7,8 ± 1,1 µg/mL), assim como a peroxidação lipídica e a formação de meta-hemoglobina, com valores de IC50 de 38,0 ± 11,7 e 186,3 ± 29,7 µg/mL, respectivamente. Os resultados obtidos neste estudo sugerem que extrato de folhas de oliveira possui efetiva atividade antioxidante em sistemas biológicos, pelo efeito sequestrador de determinadas espécies reativas que participam dos processos bioquímicos, e pela prevenção de danos oxidativos em eritrócitos humanos. Portanto, sua ingestão pode estar relacionada com a prevenção de estresse oxidativo in vivo, com consequentes benefícios à saúde.

The addition of hydrogen gas as an alternative fuel source has been widely used, as well reported in scientific literature. Today, several experiments are underway for the use of hydrogen generators (electrolysers) demand for motor vehicles. In all these products their ads manufacturers claim that this provides a reduction of fuel consumption, reduces the emission levels of toxic gas by the discharge and improves engine life. This research analyzes the physical structure of engine components using electrolysis on demand. To this end, a stationary system was fitted with a power generator of electricity, drum roller and adapted two electrolyzers: a dry cell and wet cell other. In steps observation were consumption analyzes in four work load ranges and observing the piston engine, which has been cut and analyzed by Optical Microscopy (OM), Scanning Electron Microscopy and Dispersive Energy (SEM-EDS), X – Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Confocal Microscopy, the stationary system in each step. The results showed a considerable reduction in fuel consumption and a high corrosion in the original factory piston constituted of aluminum-silicon alloy. As corrosion barrier was made a plasma nitriding in the piston head, which proved resistant to attack by hydrogen, although it has presented evidence also, of having been attacked. It is concluded that the automotive electrolysers can be a good choice in terms of consumption and reducing toxic gas emissions, but the material of the combustion chambers of vehicles must be prepared for this purpose.

The peaches and nectarines are highly appreciated by consumer, but it is climacteric fruits, with availability in the market in small time. It is necessary to invest to obtain genotypes with fruit quality and small perishability or that it presente less physiological disorders after storage. The aims of this work were i) to evaluate the genetic divergence among 40 peach and nectarine trees genotypes based on postharvest quality and select posible parents; ii) to evaluate the susceptibility to chilling injury in peaches and nectarines after cold storage; iii) to evaluate divergence of peaches and nectarines on the basis in the susceptibility for chiling injury and select superior genotypes; iv) evaluate the correlations between quality and susceptibility to chilling injury of peaches and nectarines v) select parents with the combination of lower susceptibility to chilling injury and higher quality fruit. The study was carried out in EEAD-CSIC, Zaragoza - Spain, during the production cycle 2013/2014. A total of 40 peaches and nectarines genotypes from germplasm collection were evaluated. The quality characteristics as flesh firmness, total soluble solids, titratable acidity, pH, rippining index and flesh color parameters were evaluated. The fruits were submitted to cold storage at 0 °C and 5 °C, with 95% average relative humidity. The evaluations were after 14 and 28 days, it being observed the presence of symptoms, such as wooliness through mealiness, flesh grainy, leatheriness and flesh color changes, through browning, bleeding and off flavor. As a selection parameter was adopted 20% of genotypes that had a higher frequency of superiority for quality characteristics, susceptibility to chilling injury and the combining of both. For quality characteristic presented greater divergence the ‘Queen Giant’, ‘Sudanel Blanco’ and ‘Borracho de Jarque’. Based on the quality the eight genotypes were selected, ‘Andross’, ‘San Jaime’, ‘San Lorenzo’, ‘Borracho de Jarque’, ‘Sudanell 1’, ‘Carson’, ‘Baby Gold 6’ and ‘Stanford’. All genotypes studied exhibited susceptibility to one or more symptoms caused by cold storage during 28 days, independent of temperature. For 14 days, the ‘Baby Gold 6’, ‘Flavortop’ and ‘Queen Giant’ genotypes did not show any physiological disorder caused by cold. In general, the temperature of 0 °C favored fruit postharvest conservation, it have a lower incidence and severity of symptoms caused by cold storage. The storage for 14 days contributed for the lower incidence of damage in the genotypes fruits studied. For 14 days, with both temperatures, it was observed divergence for ‘Queen Giant’, ‘Sudanell Blanco’, ‘Baby Gold 6’ ‘GF3’, ‘Baby Gold 8’, ‘Campiel’ and ‘Campiel Rojo’ genotypes. For 28 days, in the 5 °C condition, ‘Queen Giant’, ‘Big Top’, ‘Flavortop’ and ‘Redhaven’ genotypes were divergents. Based on susceptibility to chilling injury at 0 °C, the eight genotypes were selected, it being these, ‘Queen Giant’, ‘Keimoes’, ‘Flavortop’, ‘Big Top’, 'Redhaven', 'Sudanell 3', 'Bonet I' and ‘Carson’. The quality parameters as rippining index, soluble solids, firmness and titratable acidity presented correlation among them. These, also it had correlation with woolines and bowning, what it indicate that fruits with more ripening can have this symptoms more easily. The browning, mealiness, flesh grainy and off flavor variables were correlationed with the time period and temperartures, what it confirm that these symptoms are the main disorders caused by cold storage. The quality characteristics together susceptibility to chilling injury allowed selected ‘Baby Gold 6’, ‘Sarell’, ‘Keimoes’, ‘GF3’ ‘San Jaime’, ‘Big Top’, ‘Sudanell 1’, ‘Carson’, ‘Baby Gold 8’, and ‘San Lorenzo’ genotypes.

O ciclo de vida de Spaethiella tristis (Boh.), um besouro que se alimenta de folhas de dende (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.), é de mais ou menos 56 dias, sob condicoes de laboratorio. Seus inimigos naturais, coletados de um plantio de dende na Estacao Experimental do Rio Urubu/CPAA, foram: Paecilomyces farinosus (Samson & Evans) e Metarhizium sp. parasitando larvas e adultos, respectivamente, e uma especie nao identificada de Chalcididae (Hymenoptera), parasitando larvas. O dano da folha causado por S. tristis é agravado pela infeccao do fungo Pestalotiopsis guepini (Desm.) Steyaert, que se instala nos ferimentos feitos pelo inseto.
