O presente trabalho teve como objetivo determinar a atividade de diferentes concentrações de óleos essenciais e extratos vegetais sobre o crescimento de Ralstonia solanacearum e a incidência do moko em mudas de bananeira. Foram avaliadas diferentes concentrações de óleos essenciais de citronela, eucalipto citriodora, cravo-da-índia e gengibre: 1,25%; 3,5%; 3,75% e 5% e de extratos de cravo-da-índia, gengibre, canela e melão-de-são-caetano: 5%, 10%, 15% e 20%, medindo-se o halo de inibição da bactéria, após 48 horas. O óleo de eucalipto e os extratos de melão-de-são-caetano, cravo-da-índia e canela não apresentaram efeito sobre a bactéria. O extrato de gengibre, os óleos de citronela, de cravo e de gengibre inibiram o crescimento de R. solanacearumem todas as concentrações testadas, destacando-se o óleo de cravo como o melhor tratamento, seguido por extrato de gengibre. Mudas de bananeira foram pulverizadas com os óleos de citronela, gengibre e cravo (3,75%) e extrato de gengibre (20%), aplicando-se 10 ml da solução por planta. Oito dias após, as mudas foram inoculadas com o patógeno (10(8) cel/mL). O óleo de citronela proporcionou o melhor resultado, com 100% de controle da doença, porém as folhas das plantas, com esse tratamento, apresentaram sintomas de fitotoxidez. O óleo e o extrato de gengibre foram semelhantes na eficiência de controle do moko (50%), e o óleo de cravo apresentou menor eficiência (25%).

Objetivou-se avaliar dois métodos de inoculação de Colletotrichum gloeosporioides em maracujá, testar a patogenicidade de diferentes isolados, o efeito fungitóxico e a composição química dos óleos essenciais das espécies medicinais alecrim-pimenta (Lippia sidoides Cham.), capim-santo [Cymbopogon citratus (D. C.) Stapf.], alfavaca-cravo (Ocimum gratissimum L.), no controle da antracnose [Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (Penz.)], associado ao estádio de maturação de frutos de maracujazeiro-amarelo. Avaliaram-se três experimentos, onde se testou a patogenicidade de seis isolados do fungo em delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com seis repetições, outro com o mesmo delineamento em esquema fatorial 2x2 (suspensão de conídios e disco de micélio) e frutos (verdes e maduros), com seis repetições. No tratamento com frutos, utilizou-se o delineamento inteiramente casualizado, em esquema fatorial 5x3+1, sendo cinco concentrações (0; 2; 4; 6 e 8µL mL-1) e três espécies medicinais, mais o tebuconazol, com cinco repetições. Fez-se a caracterização química dos óleos por cromatografia gasosa, com espectrometria de massas. Todos os isolados foram patogênicos. Os frutos maduros apresentaram maior diâmetro das lesões, quando inoculados com suspensão de conídios. O óleo de C. citratus proporcionou o menor diâmetro das lesões nos frutos, até a concentração de 6 µL mL-1. Na concentração de 8 µL mL-1, todos os óleos inibiram o desenvolvimento do fungo. O timol (30,24%), o citral (77,74%) e o eugenol (92,89%) foram componentes majoritários em L. sidoides, C. citratus e O. gratissimum, respectivamente.

O fruto do pequizeiro (Caryocar brasiliense Camb.) apresenta considerável variabilidade em suas características físicas e químicas, segundo a região de origem, e pesquisas com frutos procedentes do Estado de Mato Grosso são escassas na literatura. Neste estudo, foram analisadas as características físicas, a composição químico-nutricional e os constituintes voláteis da polpa de pequi coletado em diferentes locais do Estado de Mato Grosso. Os frutos foram analisados quanto à cor (L*, a*, b*, hº e C*), à massa e ao rendimento do mesocarpo externo, pirênios e polpa. Foram determinados a composição centesimal, os teores de carotenoides totais, o perfil de ácidos graxos e de constituintes voláteis da polpa, e analisada a composição físico-química do solo dos locais de coleta.. Constatou-se que o fruto é composto por 80-85% de mesocarpo externo, 11-15% de pirênios e 4-7% de polpa, que é rica em lipídios (46-51g 100g-1), carotenoides totais (15-27mg 100g-1) - que foram associados à tonalidade e à intensidade da cor (hº e C*) da polpa - e fibra alimentar (8-15g 100g-1). Os principais constituintes voláteis da polpa de pequi foram o hexanoato de etila, (E)-β-ocimeno e octanoato de etila. O isobutirato de alila, 3-hexanol, 4-metil-2-pentanol, mirceno, (Z)-di-hidroapofarnesol, β-eudesmol e (E-E) geranilalinalool foram descritos pela primeira vez nos óleos essenciais da polpa de C. brasiliense. Grande parte da variância total dos voláteis foi explicada pelo conjunto de variáveis do solo, destacando-se o silte, o P e o Mg2+.

Copaiba oil is a resin extracted from the trunk of trees of Copaifera species which grow in Brazil where it is widely used in popular medicine as an anti-inflammatory, antiseptic anti-bactericidal, diuretic, dermatological, expectorant, and anti-infective. The comparative study of the composition of commercial copaiba oils was carried out by high resolution gas chromatography (HRGC) and high resolution gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HRGC-MS) analysis. The commercial oils were compared with authentic oils, collected from the southeast and northern regions of Brazil. Sixteen commercial oils were analysed and two of them revealed adulterations with fatty acids. Using the chromatographic profile of authentic copaiba species oils, it is possible to analyse commercial oils and determine the authenticity of these materials.

This paper describes a chromatographic method to fractionate volatile oils and to identify their sesquiterpenic constituents. The fractionation process includes flash chromatography over silica gel and chromatography over silica gel/AgNO3, utilising pentane, CH2Cl2 and/or acetone as eluents. GC chromatograms were obtained in order to get the relative percentage of each constituent in the volatile oils, to get the retention time value of them as well as to analyse and combine the fractions eluted from the columns. Such procedure afford mixtures of sesquiterpenes which are analysed by GC/MS, 13C and ¹H NMR.

Seeds Citrus oils (C. sinensis, C. limon and C. reticulata) extraction with hexane in a soxhlet apparatus and through supercritical fluid (CO2) were done. Besides triglycerides, the oils obtained with hexane comprised volatile compounds such as terpenes and fatty alcohols, esters, and aldehydes. However, the oils obtained by extraction with supercritical fluid presented only triglycerides. These results indicate that the extraction using supercritical fluid presents better selectivity. The activity of the oils on the development of the ant symbiotic fungus, Leucoagaricus gongylophorus, showed week activity and the topic insecticide assay showed better activity for the tangerine seed oil.

The aim of this study is to determine the influence of frying time on the alterations of sunflower, corn and soybean oils during deep fat frying of potato chips. The analytical methods used to evaluate the oil alterations are: free fatty acids, peroxide value, refractive index and total polar compounds. An increase of free fatty acids, refractive index and total polar compounds with frying time were observed. The different behaviors observed for the three vegetables oils can be explained by the differences in the initial composition and quality of them.

Free fatty acids are a measure of evaluating fats and oils, submitted to abusive conditions, besides being a quality characteristic of edible vegetable oils. The official method of determination (AOCS Ca 5a-40, 2004) is based on titration, using phenolphthalein as an indicator. For crude and degummed oils, the titration end point is difficult to be observed due to the high level of pigments, resulting in dark solutions. In this case and others, such as self-life studies, in which sample quantities are limited, potentiometric titration may be a very good alternative.

Activation energy (Ea) is a parameter that can be applied to make predictions about the quality of oils to be used in an ICO engine. In this study, Ea was determined by thermogravimetry following two different procedures: ASTM E 1641 and Model-free kinetics. The energies were calculated in the low temperature oxidation (LTO) region for three Brazilian fuel oils (denominated A, B and C) and the results were equal using both methods: 43 kJ mol-1 (alpha=0.1 to 0.9) for oil A, 48 kJ mol-1 (alpha=0.1 to 0.5) and 65 kJ mol-1 (alpha=0.5 to 0.9) for oil B, and 58 kJ mol-1 (alpha=0.1 to 0.5) and 65 kJ mol-1 (alpha=0.5 to 0.9) for oil C. It was concluded that, among the oils studied, sample A was potentially the best option concerning the behavior in the LTO region.

A simple and reliable ashing procedure is proposed for the preparation of used lubricating oil samples for the determination of Zn, Fe, Pb, Ni and Cu by the flame atomic absorption spectrometry technique. Sulphanilic acid was added to oil samples, the mixture coked and the coke ashed at 550 ºC. The solutions of the ash were analysed by flame AAS for these metals. The quantification limits were 38.250 µg g-1 for Zn, 4.550 µg g-1 for Fe, 1.562 µg g-1 for Pb, 1.450 µg g-1 for Ni, and 0.439 µg g-1 for Cu. The determinations, in lubricating oil, showed good precision and accuracy with recoveries between 90 and 110 %, indicating a negligible matrix effect in the experiments using addition of analyte, with relative standard deviation lower than 5%. The results for analysis of wastewater contamined by theses lubricants showed a very high relative standard deviation.

The essential oils of the leaves and fruits obtained by hydrodistillation of Xylopia sericea, collected in the restinga area of Pernambuco, were analyzed by GC (HP 5890 SERIES II) and GC/MS (HP 5890B SERIES II/ MSD 5971). A major part of the volatile components identified in the oils of fruits and leaves were monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes. Cubenol (57.43%) and alpha-epi-muurolol (26.09%) were the main compounds found in the leaves, whereas beta-pinene (45.59%) and alpha-pinene (17.18%) were the fruits major components. The acaricidal activity of the essential oils was evaluated for Tetranychus urticae. The oil of the leaves was more active than that of the fruits showing an LC50 value of 4.08 µL/L of air for a 72 h period.
