ABSTRACT: Increasing restrictions on the use of artificial pigments in the food industry, imposed by the international market, have increased the importance of raw materials containing natural pigments. Of those natural substances with potential applications turmeric rhizomes (Curcuma longa L), are one of the most important natural sources of yellow coloring. Three different pigments (curcumin, desmetoxycurcumin, and bis-desmetoxycurcumin) constitute the curcuminoids. These pigments are largely used in the food industry as substitutes for synthetic dyes like tartrazin. Extraction of curcuminoids from tumeric rhizomes with supercritical CO2 can be applied as an alternative method to obtain curcuminoids, as natural pigments are in general unstable, and hence degrade when submitted to extraction with organic solvents at high temperatures. Extraction experiments were carried out in a supercritical extraction pilot plant at pressures between 25 and 30 MPa and a temperature of 318 K. The influence of drying pretreatment on extraction yield was evaluated by analyzing the mass transfer kinetics and the content of curcuminoids in the extracts during the course of extraction. The chemical identification of curcuminoids in both the extract and the residual solid was performed by spectrophotometry. Mass transfer within the solid matrix was described by a linear first-order desorption model, while that in the gas phase was described by a convective mass transfer model. Experimental results showed that the concentration profile for curcuminoids during the supercritical extraction process was higher when the turmeric rhizomes were submitted to a drying pretreatment at 343 K.

Dentre as fontes de corantes naturais mais utilizadas na indústria de alimentos, encontra-se a cúrcuma (Curcuma longa L.) uma rizomaina do qual podem ser obtidas substâncias como a curcumina, demetoxicurcumina e bis-demetoxicurcumina. Estes pigmentos possuem coloração amarela e capacidade de substituir corantes artificiais. Com a finalidade de verificar a influência do pré-tratamento de secagem na extração, foram realizados experimentos de extração de oleoresina de cúrcuma com CO2 supercrítico, na unidade de extração do Laboratório de Engenharia Química da Universidade Federal do Pará, submetendo-se a matéria-prima a uma secagem nas temperaturas de 70 e 105oC. As extrações foram feitas a pressões de 200, 250 e 300 bar, e na temperatura de 45oC. Os resultados estão apresentados em tabelas e gráficos, em termos de rendimentos totais e teor de curcumina presente na oleoresina. A secagem a 70oC favoreceu a extração de oleoresina em termos de tempo de extração, e contribuiu para a manutenção de curcumina na matéria-prima.

A redução das emissões de gases de efeito estufa representa um grande desafio tecnológico aos modelos industriais vigentes. Mecanismos de Desenvolvimento Limpo (MDL) e sequestro de CO2 fundamentam grande parte dos planos de crescimento sustentáveis, com vistas à obtenção de níveis mais seguros de CO2. Pesquisas promissoras consideram a técnica de sequestro de CO2, por meio da carbonatação mineral, em que silicatos ricos em magnésio, cálcio, ferro e manganês são transformados em carbonatos. Este trabalho teve por objetivo caracterizar, em caráter preliminar e exploratório, as rochas metamáficas e metaultramáficas dos Complexos Amparo e Itapira, com vistas à avaliação de seu potencial mineral para uso em processos de carbonatação mineral no sequestro de CO2; essas rochas constituem terrenos metamórficos de grau médio a alto, localizadas na região de Itapira, Amparo, Serra Negra e Lindóia (SP). As rochas metamáficas reúnem anfibolitos, actinolita xistos e hornblenditos, e encontram-se na forma de lentes ou camadas estiradas em intercalação com rochas supracrustais. As rochas metaultramáficas ocorrem em corpos pequenos e descontínuos, com composição mineralógica em geral rica em olivina, piroxênio e anfibólio. As rochas avaliadas no presente estudo apresentam potencial para carbonatação mineral, em particular aquelas com teores elevados de magnésio. Dessa forma, podem representar importante prospecto de avaliação de jazidas para utilização em processos de carbonatação mineral.

The soil is one of the main C pools in terrestrial ecosystem, capable of storing significant C amounts. Therefore, understanding the factors that contribute to the loss of CO2 from agricultural soils is critical to determine strategies reducing emissions of this gas and help mitigate the greenhouse effect. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of soil tillage and sugarcane trash on CO2 emissions, temperature and soil moisture during sugarcane (re)planting, over a study period of 15 days. The following managements were evaluated: no-tillage with crop residues left on the soil surface (NTR); without tillage and without residue (NTNR) and tillage with no residue (TNR). The average soil CO2 emission (FCO2) was lowest in NTR (2.16 µmol m-2 s-1), compared to the managements NTNR (2.90 µmol m-2 s-1) and TNR (3.22 µmol m-2 s-1), indicating that the higher moisture and lower soil temperature variations observed in NTR were responsible for this decrease. During the study period, the lowest daily average FCO2 was recorded in NTR (1.28 µmol m-2 s-1), and the highest in TNR (6.08 µmol m-2 s-1), after rainfall. A loss of soil CO2 was lowest from the management NTR (367 kg ha-1 of CO2-C) and differing significantly (p<0.05) from the managements NTNR (502 kg ha-1 of CO2-C) and TNR (535 kg ha-1 of CO2-C). Soil moisture was the variable that differed most managements and was positively correlated (r = 0.55, p<0.05) with the temporal variations of CO2 emission from NTR and TNR. In addition, the soil temperature differed (p<0.05) only in management NTR (24 °C) compared to NTNR (26 °C) and TNR (26.5 °C), suggesting that under the conditions of this study, sugarcane trash left on the surface induced an average rise in the of soil temperature of 2 ºC.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar os efeitos do aumento da concentração de CO2 do ar sobre o crescimento de plantas e sobre a mancha foliar causada por Cylindrocladium candelabrum em Eucalyptus urophylla. As mudas foram cultivadas durante 30 dias, a 451, 645, 904, 1.147 µmol mol-1 de CO2 ; em seguida, elas foram inoculadas com o patógeno e mantidas nas mesmas condições por sete dias. O aumento da concentração de CO2 aumentou a altura de plantas e a massa de matéria seca da parte aérea, e diminuiu a incidência e a severidade da doença. O diâmetro do caule não foi afetado pelos tratamentos. O aumento das concentrações de CO2 atmosférico afeta favoravelmente o crescimento de plântulas de eucalipto e reduz a severidade da mancha foliar.

The proper management of agricultural crop residues could produce benefits in a warmer, more drought-prone world. Field experiments were conducted in sugarcane production areas in the Southern Brazil to assess the influence of crop residues on the soil surface in short-term CO2 emissions. The study was carried out over a period of 50 days after establishing 6 plots with and without crop residues applied to the soil surface. The effects of sugarcane residues on CO2 emissions were immediate; the emissions from residue-covered plots with equivalent densities of 3 (D50) and 6 (D100) t ha-1 (dry mass) were less than those from non-covered plots (D0). Additionally, the covered fields had lower soil temperatures and higher soil moisture for most of the studied days, especially during the periods of drought. Total emissions were as high as 553.62 ± 47.20 g CO2 m-2, and as low as 384.69 ± 31.69 g CO2 m-2 in non-covered (D0) and covered plot with an equivalent density of 3 t ha-1 (D50), respectively. Our results indicate a significant reduction in CO2 emissions, indicating conservation of soil carbon over the short-term period following the application of sugarcane residues to the soil surface.

The aim of this study was to evaluate CO2 emission, canopy characteristics and herbage accumulation in pastures of pensacola bahiagrass under frequencies of defoliation. The experiment was conducted at the Universidade Estadual Paulista Julio de Mesquita Filho, Faculty of Agrarian Sciences and Veterinary of UNESP, Jaboticabal, São Paulo, Brasil. The experimental period was from May 3rd to July 26th 2012. The experimental area comprised 28 m² of pensacola bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum Flügge), divided into 10 plots for allocation of treatment (frequencies of defoliation = 2 or 4 weeks). The following variables were studied: canopy height, light interception, leaf area index, herbage accumulation, tiller density, CO2 emissions, soil temperature and moisture. The frequencies of defoliation in the months of May, June and July slightly affect pensacola bahiagrass characteristics. CO2, soil temperature and moisture are more associated to environmental conditions (months of evaluation) than to the frequencies of defoliation imposed to the canopies.
