As lipases, também chamadas de glicerol éster hidrolases, são enzimas que fazem parte do grupo das serina hidrolases, tendo como substrato, triglicerídeos. O modo de ação das lipases assemelha-se ao das esterases, realizando a hidrólise das ligações ésteres-carboxílicas de acilgliceróis, formando ácidos graxos e glicerol. Processos de bioconversão enzimática têm sido bastante utilizados na produção, transformação e valorização de matérias-primas. Avanços na tecnologia enzimática, como a imobilização de enzimas, possibilitaram a modificação das propriedades cinéticas e da estabilidade destas moléculas contribuindo com o aumento no potencial de aplicações das mesmas. O presente trabalho teve por objetivo estudar diferentes métodos de imobilização de lipases em suportes de sílica, bem como os efeitos deste procedimento, visando melhorar a funcionalidade das enzimas e o maior rendimento econômico nos processos industriais. Os métodos de imobilização escolhidos para os estudos foram: adsorção física, ligação covalente e encapsulação. O processo de imobilização de lipase em Celite (adsorção física) foi otimizado levando em conta o pH, porcentagem da concentração enzima:suporte e temperatura ótimos de atividade enzimática. Também se utilizou Celite como suporte para a imobilização de lipase por ligação covalente, onde se obteve os melhores resultados com atividade enzimática 20% a 40 ºC e eficiência de imobilização de 50%. A celite foi ativada com 3-aminopropiltrietoxisilano e glutaraldeído. Por último, foi avaliada a possibilidade de encapsulação da lipase utilizando o precursor tetraetilortossilicato (TEOS). Os resultados obtidos nesta última metodologia não se mostraram satisfatórios. Logo, com os dados obtidos, podemos dizer que uma boa manutenção da atividade catalítica depende do tipo de retenção (química ou física) e da força de interação entre a enzima e o suporte utilizado, força esta que pode, em alguns casos, causar distorções estruturais na proteína, levando a manutenção ou diminuição da atividade catalítica.

The analysis of serum cholesterol and triglycerides was performed in 20 healthy mongrel dogs, 10 male and 10 female, before and after supplementation for 30 days with fatty acids of long chain polyunsaturated derived from omega-3 n (497mg docosahexaenoic acid and 780mg eicosapentaenoic acid). The serum cholesterol presented a significant reduction after supplementation in both sexes (271.6±79.8mg/dL; 236,2±67,6mg/dL, before and after supplementation respectively). Regarding serum triglycerides, there was a reduction only in females (57.8±12,1mg/dL; 45.2±7,8mg/dL, before and after supplementation respectively), with no effect of supplementation in males.

The pregnancy toxaemia affects pregnant females in the final third of pregnancy and, in most cases, with multiple fetuses characterizing its relationship with pathology of multiple pregnancy, because, in this situation, the energy demand of the female is very large. The pregnancy toxaemia develops from a negative energy balance and the consequent mobilization of lipids. Fatty acids produced are directed to the liver to be oxidized via acid cycle to produce energy and causing the ketosis. This paper describes the case of a sheep treated at the Veterinary Hospital of Paranaense University - UNIPAR, Campus II - Umuarama/PR with multiple pregnancy of four lambs and consequent pregnancy toxaemia.

There is a great global concern about the depletion and the high cost of fossil fuel reserves exploitation, more than ever, it is necessary to make a profound study and take advantage of alternative sources that can be used as energy efficiency with an appropriate pricing and low environmental impact. Brazil, which has highlighted using alternative energy sources as the use of ethanol and, in recent years, has been encouraging the expansion of its energy matrix in which the biodiesel will have a strategic importance within the agrobusiness area. Biodiesel is a fuel that can replace the diesel, which is a petroleum derivative. It is an ester, produced in the transesterification reaction of vegetable oils and animal greases, in an alcohol with an additional catalyst, are converted into fatty acids and result in esters with glycerol as sub products. The objective of this study was to estimate the final energy balance for the process biodiesel production from oil chicken waste. The energy balance estimation was quantified in calorific value according to the energy expenditure by calorimetric bomb method. The relationship between input and output of energy was around 0.97. In a first evaluation, the procedures adopted should be improved enough, so the process can become energetic and economically viable.

The international energy situation indicates to the depletion of oil reserves in the short term. Brazil, considering its potential, has sought through public policy, encourage the study of alternative forms of energy. Many of these forms are based on sub-products and agricultural products, especially the ethanol industry for fuel purposes. Another alternative of vegetable origin, most recently discussed, would be the production of fuel oil called biodiesel. The study aimed to extract and measure the pulp oil production of macaúba palm [Acrocomia aculeata (Jacq) Lodd. ex Mart], collected in Botucatu (SP). In addition, the qualitative analysis of the pulp and almond oil are determined. The results showed low productivity in oils, compared to the reported for macauba natural populations of Minas Gerais. The qualitative analysis of the macauba pulp shows to be rich in long chain fatty acids, while the almond have significant amounts of lauric acid.

The Culture of crambe became promising since its grains presents high oil content. The methods of drying may influence the quality of crude oil extracted from the beans, depending on the way it is managed. This study goal was to evaluate the influence of different drying methods on the quality of the crude oil extracted from crambe grain. The experimental design was completely randomized with five treatments (drying with heated air, natural air, yard, shade, and at the field), and with four tests for each. In order to check the quality of the grains, we performed an analysis of fat acidity, and to evaluate the crude oil quality, we conducted analysis of iodine value, acid value, water content, density at 20ºC, and a kinematic viscosity at 40°. After obtaining the data, the results were submitted to analysis of variance. When significant means were detected, they were compared by t-test (p ≤ 0.05). The method of drying with heated air provided a lower rate of fatty acid in grains. The drying methods evaluated did not compromise the quality of the oil extracted from the crambe grain.
