Frutas e hortaliças, de forma geral, são fontes de vitaminas, sais minerais e fibras. Recentemente, tem sido verificada a presença de compostos bioativos, incluindo carotenoides, antocianinas e compostos fenólicos, para os quais pesquisas relatam ação antioxidante e potencial terapêutico. A Bromelia antiacantha Bertol., popularmente conhecida por banana-do-mato, caraguatá, gravatá, carauatá e croatá, ocorre naturalmente no Rio Grande do Sul-Brasil. Informações científicas quanto à composição nutricional e a atividade biológica para essa espécie ainda são restritas. Nesse sentido, o objetivo do trabalho foi determinar a composição físico-química, incluindo o teor de compostos bioativos da Bromelia antiacantha Bertol. Elevado teor de lipídios (5,07 ± 0,4 %), ácido ascórbico (60,01 ± 5,04 mg.100g-1) e carotenoides (162,67 ± 36,70 mg.100g-1) foram encontrados para a espécie Bromelia antiacantha Bertol., assim como baixo teor de carboidratos (8,75%).

RESUMO Conhecer a variabilidade genética de uma espécie, manifestada em caracteres morfológicos e agronômicos, é fundamental para orientar sua conservação e manejo, e subsidiar programas de melhoramento. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a diversidade físico-química dos frutos de jabuticabeiras (Plinia cauliflora) em um sítio de ocorrência natural, no município de Passo Fundo-RS. Em uma população de aproximadamente 300 jabuticabeiras, coletaram-se frutos de 40 genótipos para a avaliação de doze caracteres. Os dados foram submetidos à análise descritiva, de correlação e multivariada. Utilizou-se do método de agrupamento UPGMA, a partir da distância euclidiana média. Os genótipos G18 e G35 destacaram-se pelas características relacionadas com o tamanho e o sabor dos frutos, e também por apresentarem alta divergência genética com os demais genótipos. A relação SST/ATT foi o caractere que mais contribuiu para a divergência genética (41,56%), seguido pela porcentagem de polpa (25,76%) e de casca (23,24%). Houve a formação de seis grupos de genótipos similares. Verificou-se, portanto, que jabuticabeiras nativas de um mesmo sítio de ocorrência apresentam frutos com características físico-químicas variáveis, revelando a existência de genótipos com caracteres de interesse no melhoramento da espécie.

RESUMO O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a qualidade físico-química das polpas de frutas congeladas comercializadas na cidade de Cuiabá-MT, comparando com os padrões estabelecidos pela legislação vigente. O experimento foi desenvolvido em delineamento inteiramente casualizado, sendo cinco tratamentos (marcas denominadas A, B, C, D e E) e três repetições, para as polpas de abacaxi, acerola, caju, goiaba e maracujá. Foram analisados os parâmetros pH, acidez titulável expressa em ácido cítrico, sólidos solúveis, ratio, vitamina C, açúcar redutor e quantificação da perda de vitamina C após 90 dias de armazenamento sob congelamento, em polpas de acerola e caju. Os dados obtidos foram submetidos à análise de variância, e as médias, comparadas pelo teste de Tukey, ao nível de 5% de probabilidade. A marca D apresentou não conformidade com a legislação para todas as polpas em, pelo menos, um dos parâmetros avaliados. Foi observado maior número de amostras em inadequação para o teor de vitamina C e, de forma geral, as polpas avaliadas apresentaram valores abaixo das especificações exigidas pelos Padrões de Identidade e Qualidade (PIQ) para as mesmas. Todas as amostras avaliadas tiveram redução do teor de vitamina C durante armazenamento sob congelamento, sendo que nenhuma marca de polpa de acerola e apenas uma de caju apresentou, ao final de 90 dias, teor de vitamina C de acordo com o estabelecido pelo PIQ. Conclui-se que é necessária uma intensificação na fiscalização no processamento de polpas de frutas congeladas para garantia da saúde do consumidor.

The approaches are part of the everyday of the Physical Chemistry. In many didactic books in the area of Chemistry, the approaches are validated starting from qualitative and not quantitative approaches. We elaborated some examples that allow evaluating the quantitative impact of the approaches, being considered the mistake tolerated for the approximate calculation. The estimate of the error in the approaches should serve as guide to establish the validity of the calculation, which use them. Thus, the shortcut that represents a calculation approached to substitute accurate calculations; it can be used without it loses of quality in the results, besides indicating, as they are valid the adopted criterions.

The determination of the physical-chemical mercury speciation in tropical coastal waters using the derivatization technique with CVAFS detection was optimized. This methodology is able to separate the elementary, reactive, organic and total mercury phases with low operational costs. The importance of bromide chloride solution, the diluted aqua regia, used as the oxidative solution, and different compositions of the reductive solution of stannous chloride were tested and the better results for coastal waters are presented. The recuperation of the sum of the different phases ranges from 80 to 94% of the total Hg content in duplicates of different marine samples. The optimized methodology permits important studies on the mercury cycle in the coastal environment.

S(-) Bupivacaine (S(-)BVC) and Lidocaine (LDC) are widely used local anesthetics (LA). Hydroxypropyl beta-cyclodextrin (HP-beta-CD) is used as a drug-carrier system. The aim of this work was to characterize inclusion complexes between LA and HP-beta-CD. The affinity constants determined at different pHs show favourable complexation. The release kinetics experiments showed that S(-)BVC and LDC changed the released profiles in the presence of HP-beta-CD. Nuclear magnetic resonance experiments gave information about the interaction between LA and the cyclodextrin cavity. This study focused on the physicochemical characterization of drug-delivery formulations that come out as potentially new therapeutic options for pain treatment.

Hydroxymethylnitrofurazone (NFOH) is a prodrug that is active against Trypanosoma cruzi. It however presents low solubility and high toxicity. Hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HP-beta-CD) can be used as a drug-delivery system for NFOH modifying its physico-chemical properties. The aim of this work is to characterize the inclusion complex between NFOH and HP-beta-CD. The rate of NFOH release decreases after complexation and thermodynamic parameters from the solubility isotherm studies revealed that a stable complex is formed (deltaGº= 1.7 kJ/mol). This study focuses on the physico-chemical characterization of a drug-delivery formulation that comes out as a potentially new therapeutic option for Chagas disease treatment.

In this work an analytical methodology for the determination of relevant physicochemical parameters of prato cheese is reported, using infrared spectroscopy (DRIFT) and partial least squares regression (PLS). Several multivariate models were developed, using different spectral regions and preprocessing routines. In general, good precision and accuracy was observed for all studied parameters (fat, protein, moisture, total solids, ashes and pH) with standard deviations comparable with those provided by the conventional methodologies. The implantation of this multivariate routine involves significant analytical advantages, including reduction of cost and time of analysis, minimization of human errors, and elimination of chemical residues.

Samples of shells of oysters and mussels from sea farm around the Santa Catarina Island in south Brazil were collected and analyzed by DRX, FRX, SEM, CHN-S, FTIR, TG, AAS/Flame and AAS /GF. The results showed that the crystalline structure of mussel's shells is mainly formed by aragonite and the oyster's shells by calcite. The calcium percentage in both shells species was in the range of 33 to 35% and also 850 and 1200 mg/kg of strontium was detected in the shells of oysters and mussels, respectively. The content of organic matter was larger in the mussel's shells and the thermal degradation of both shells species occurred by three events at different temperatures from 250 to 830 ºC.
