The consumption of minimally processed vegetables has been growing due to consumer demand for products easy to prepare. As it is extremely manipulated, this product can be contaminated with spoilage organisms such as yeasts, that have the ability to decrease the shelf life of food. In this sense, seeking to concerns about the resistance of microorganisms to sanitation methods for food industries and given the need for more studies of the antimicrobial power of ozone, this study aimed to isolate and identify the yeasts present in minimally processed vegetables, and check their antimicrobial resistance to sodium hypochlorite and ozone. 84 samples of minimally processed vegetables were collected. From them, 47 yeast cultures were isolated and submitted for identification and testing of resistance to sodium hypochlorite sanitizers (50, 100, 200 and 400 ppm) and ozone (0.25 and 0.5 ppm). From the total yeast isolated, 85.1% corresponds to Cryptococcus laurentii, 12.8% to Arxula adeninivorans and 2.1% to Debaryomyces hansenii var. fabryii. All of them were resistant to the sanitizers sodium hypochlorite and ozone at all concentrations tested. Given these observations, some actions must be taken during processing to avoid contamination with deteriorative microbiota.

Frying is a widely used method of preparing food, because it is a very fast and convenient process, and because it provides specific characteristics of color, flavor, odor, and texture, besides having great consumer acceptance. Therefore, the interest in the physiological effects that oils heated at high temperatures can cause to the human body arises. The aim of this work was to analyze the levels of frying used oil alteration in different kinds of foods served at the university restaurant at “Instituto de Biociências, Letras e Ciências Exatas” (IBILCE), in São José do Rio Preto-SP. In addition, it aims to make the restaurant aware of the good ways to fry and the commitment of providing good quality food to students and professionals of the Institute. With this purpose, determination of total polar compounds, conjugated dienoic acids, peroxide value, and fatty acid profile were analyzed. Two rapid tests were also used: 3M Fat Monitor and Oil Test kit. The results were compared with limits recommended for the disposal of oils and fats used in frying by the Brazilian Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA), by other countries, and by other researches. Thus, it was concluded that the university restaurant provides the consumers with fried food of good quality, since none of the analyses showed results above recommended, although there is a need of improvement in the quality control of the oil used, in order to avoid unnecessary costs to the university restaurant.

Aedes aegypti, mosquito da família Culicidae responsável pela transmissão dos vírus da dengue, da febre amarela urbana e da febre chikungunya, apresenta grande proliferação em áreas urbanas das regiões tropicais e subtropicais, além de representar um fator de incômodo por causar alergias devido à inoculação dos componentes salivares durante o processo do repasto sanguíneo. Como forma de evitar os problemas causados por eles, o repelente mais usado e registrado comercialmente desde 1957 é o DEET (N,N-dietil-3-metilbenzamida ou N,N-dietil-meta-toluamida), que apesar de apresentar eficácia comprovada possui determinada toxicidade quando utilizado por crianças e por mulheres grávidas ou lactantes. Atualmente, grande parte dos estudos sobre novas substâncias repelentes envolvem óleos essenciais de plantas, principalmente por serem atóxicos, biodegradáveis, possuírem um preço mais acessível e uma ampla atividade contra diferentes espécies de mosquitos. Os terpenos 1,8-cineol, β-cariofileno e α-humuleno podem ser encontrados em óleos essenciais de uma grande variedade de plantas e apesar de dados da literatura mostrarem uma eficácia dessas substâncias como repelentes para outras espécies de insetos, até o presente momento não existem estudos que relacionam porcentagem de repelência ao longo do tempo para avaliar o potencial de repelência das mesmas para culicídeos.O presente estudo avaliou tais substâncias como possíveis repelentes para A. aegypti, utilizando o DEET como controle positivo. Para avaliar a eficácia do β-cariofileno foi utilizada a BG-cage, uma gaiola desenvolvida especificamente para testes de repelência onde o voluntário expõe um braço sob uma abertura coberta por uma tela onde os mosquitos pousam, mas não picam. Os testes foram repetidos a cada 30 minutos após a aplicação do produto por um tempo máximo de duas horas (seguindo a recomendação de reaplicação do produto comercial ...

This work was carried out to evaluate the functional response of Cryptolaemus montrouzieri Mulsant, 1850 (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) fed with Planococcus citri Risso, 1813 (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) reared on a pumpkin hybrid (Cucurbita maxima x Cucurbita moscata) (Cucurbitaceae), seedlings of Rangpur lime (Citrus limonia) Rutaceae) and potato (Solanum tuberosum) (Solanaceae) at two temperatures. The predation rate of C. montrouzieri was measured using Petri dishes of 15 cm diameter with 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 24 adults of P. Citri. One third instar larva, one fourfh instar and one newly emerged adult (without differentiation of sex) of C. montrouzieri were added to each plate. The study was conducted in climatic chambers at temperatures of 25 and 30 degrees C and photophase of 12 hours. The predation rate was evaluated after 24 hours of prey exposition to the predator, by counting the number of preys trapped in the different treatments and control. The statistical design was completely randomized with four treatments x 6 subplots with 7 repetitions, the two temperatures. The values obtained were subjected to analysis of variance, to relate the number of scales preyed by larvae and adults of C. montrouzieri set up in different substrates. The amount of prey consumed by larvae and adults of the predator increased with increasing the prey density until it reaches a plateau, characterizing functional response type II. In general, the number of scales preyed by larvae and adults of C. montrouzieri was higher on potato and under temperature of 30 degrees C.
