O Brasil possui cerca de 32 milhões de hectares de áreas com aptidão para a expansão da cultura da palma de óleo e mais de 90% destas estão na Amazônia. Há necessidade de compreender a interação de novos plantios e de seu desenvolvimento com o meio ambiente. Este estudo foi conduzido em plantios comerciais da empresa Dendê do Pará SA (DENPASA) em Castanhal – Pará e avaliou o efeito da variação sazonal da precipitação sobre a fertilidade do solo e desta sobre a biomassa microbiana do solo em uma cronosseqüencia de plantios de palma de óleo com 5, 8 e 12 anos e floresta secundária. Foram mensurados/estimados e correlacionados os atributos do solo carbono da biomassa microbiana (CBMS), carbono total (CTOTAL), nitrogênio (NTOTAL), respiração basal (RBS), quociente metabólico (qCO2), relação carbono da biomassa microbiana/ carbono total (CBMS:CTOTAL), relação carbono/nitrogênio (C/N), umidade gravimétrica (Ug), fósforo (P), potássio (K), cálcio (Ca), magnésio (Mg), alumínio (Al), capacidade de troca efetiva de cátions (CTC) e saturação por alumínio (m). O CBMS foi o atributo mais sensível para diferenciar as áreas do estudo e os períodos seco e chuvoso. Os atributos químicos de fertilidade do solo e a biomassa microbiana do solo apresentaram correlações significativas mais fortes e em maior número no período chuvoso. Os índices microbianos qCO2 e CBMS:CTOTAL comprovaram que áreas de plantio convencional podem ser relativamente eficientes em relação à dinâmica do C em comparação a área de floresta secundária.

Moringa oleifera Lam, is a leguminous plant, originally from Asia, which is cultivated in Brazil because of its low production cost. Although some people have used this plant as food, there is little information about its chemical and nutritional characteristics. The objective of this study was to characterise the leaves of M. oleifera in terms of their chemical composition, protein fractions obtained by solubility in different systems and also to assess their nutritional quality and presence of bioactive substances. The whole leaf flour contained 28.7% crude protein, 7.1% fat, 10.9% ashes, 44.4% carbohydrate and 3.0 mg 100 g(-1) calcium and 103.1 mg 100 g(-1) iron. The protein profile revealed levels of 3.1% albumin, 0.3% globulins, 2.2% prolamin, 3.5% glutelin and 70.1% insoluble proteins. The hydrolysis of the protein from leaf flour employing sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and 2-mercaptoethanol (ME) resulted in 39.5% and 29.5%, respectively. The total protein showed low in vitro digestibility (31.8%). The antinutritional substances tested were tannins (20.7 mg g(-1)), trypsin inhibitor (1.45 TIU mg g(-1)), nitrate (17 mg g(-1)) and oxalic acid (10.5 mg g(-1)), besides the absence of cyanogenic compounds. beta-Carotene and lutein stood out as major carotenoids, with concentrations of 161.0 and 47.0 mu g g(-1) leaf, respectively. Although M. oleifera leaves contain considerable amount of crude protein, this is mostly insoluble and has low in vitro digestibility, even after heat treatment and chemical attack. In vivo studies are needed to better assess the use of this leaf as a protein source in human feed. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Obesity along with overweight has been considered one of the most serious public health problems in the world, especially because they are the main risk factors for many chronic diseases such as coronary heart disease, type II diabetes mellitus, hypertension and some types of tumors, which are associated with high mortality rates. The use of functional foods and appropriate diets to promote health has grown as a mechanism for prevention, control and treatment of chronic diseases such as obesity. Several ethnopharmacological studies indicate plants species for the treatment of disorders associated with obesity with a major attraction of this regimen is perceived as safer and more effective for health than the traditional treatment with appetite suppressants. Whereas both food intake and the oral treatment with different compounds can cause changes in gene expression and that a proper diet has been valuable as a mechanism for maintaining the body's vital functions, the objective of this project was to evaluate the effects of standardized extract of Brassica campestris L. in the decrease in weight and food intake control. In vivo trials of this product were conducted and studies of its effects on energy metabolism in non-obese mice and with obesity induced by hypercaloric diet. After induction of obesity by 8 weeks, animals were treated for 21 days with the extract orally. After 21 days the animals were killed and the effects of this product were evaluated on the daily feed intake and on body weight. According to the results obtained, the extract of Brassica campestris was not effective in reducing body weight of obese animals, and did not reduce food intake
