The oxidized cassava starch is widely used in various industrial sectors, the major textile, paper and more recently by the food industry due to its characteristics, such as expansion property to baking. This study aimed to develop a modification of cassava starch by reaction with hydrogen peroxide and lactic acid, with two different types of drying, in the sun and in oven dried, in order to develop the expansion with increase of carboxyl groups and to evaluate differences between the types of drying and compare them with Expandex® starch and pre-gelatinized. The results indicated an increase in the rate of expansion of the modified starch dry in the sun, however the results of the content carboxylic groups haven't indicated the relationship with their rate expansion.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of adding calcium ions and fluoride in the formulation of a whitening gel 35% hydrogen peroxide in its penetration through the dental structure, whitening efficacy and surface hardness of dental enamel. 80 teeth bovine incisors were used, which were obtained enamel and dentin disks of the buccal surface with 6mm diameter and 2mm thick (1 mm of enamel and dentin 1mm). The samples were divided into four groups stratified according to the protective substance / remineralizing added to the gel of hydrogen peroxide 35%: Group Ca - Calcium gluconate 0.5%; Group F - Sodium fluoride 0.2%; Group Ca + F - Calcium gluconate 0.5% and Sodium Fluoride 0.2%; Control group - no substance was added. The initial color of the samples and the hardness of the enamel were measured before the bleaching procedures. The specimens from each group were placed on a metallic support on which there was a simulated pulp chamber, which was filled with acetate buffer to collect and stabilize the penetrated peroxide. The respective bleaching treatments were applied 3 times, total of 30 minutes of application. The amount of peroxide which passed through the samples was determined by absorbance spectrophotometry. The hardness of the samples was measured immediately after bleaching. Next, the samples were immersed in artificial saliva for 7 days, after which the final color was evaluated. Data were statistically analyzed adopting a 5% significance level

O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a capacidade de liberação de peróxido de hidrogênio (H2O2) por fagócitos oriundos de glândulas mamárias bovinas sadias e infectadas. Desse modo, 73 amostras de leite provenientes das glândulas mamárias foram classificadas em sadias e infectadas de acordo com a cultura bacteriológica e a contagem de células somáticas (CCS). Após o isolamento das células do leite, procedeu-se à contagem diferencial de leucócitos e determinação da liberação de H2O2 pela oxidação da solução de vermelho fenol. Foi observada menor liberação de H2O2 pelos fagócitos oriundos dos quartos mamários infectados, assim como houve correlação negativa entre a liberação de H2O2 por fagócitos e a CCS (r=-0,34; P=0,0025), e a porcentagem de neutrófilos (r=-0,24; P=0,04). Além disso, houve tendência de menor liberação de H2O2 pelos fagócitos estimulados por forbol 12-miristato 13-acetato nas glândulas mamárias infectadas. Entretanto, observou-se maior liberação de H2O2 pelos fagócitos em 1mL de leite nos quartos mamários infectados, ao considerar a CCS mL-1. Pode-se concluir que fagócitos de quartos mamários infectados apresentaram menor liberação de H2O2, o que indica menor capacidade microbicida. Por outro lado, observou-se maior liberação de H2O2 pelos fagócitos em 1mL de leite nos quartos infectados, fato que pode contribuir com o maior recrutamento de leucócitos para a glândula mamária e/ou a persistência do processo inflamatório.

O presente estudo objetivou avaliar a viabilidade celular, a capacidade de fagocitose e espraiamento pelos fagócitos mononucleares, e a liberação de peróxido de hidrogênio (H2O2) por leucócitos oriundos de glândulas mamárias bovinas sadias e infectadas. Deste modo, 94 amostras foram divididas de acordo com os resultados da cultura bacteriológica e da contagem de células somáticas (CCS). O presente estudo não encontrou diferenças na viabilidade celular, e nos índices de fagocitose e espraiamento entre os diferentes grupos. No entanto, a liberação de H2O2 oriundos dos quartos mamários infectados, infectados por Streptococcus spp. ou Corynebacterium spp. foi menor do que nas amostras de leite provenientes dos quartos mamários sadios. Ao estimar a concentração de H2O2 mL-1 leite observou-se que as amostras de quartos mamários positivos no exame bacteriológico, infectados por Staphylococcus spp. e negativos no exame bacteriológico com alta celularidade foram maiores que aquelas provenientes de quartos mamários sadios. Observou-se também correlação positiva entre a CCS e a viabilidade celular e os índices de fagocitose e espraiamento; e correlação negativa entre a liberação de H2O2 e a CCS e a viabilidade celular. Conclui-se que a CCS, assim como a sua viabilidade e função, são conceitos intimamente relacionados com a saúde da glândula mamária.

O presente trabalho visa o estudo da eletrossíntese de H2O2 a partir da reação de redução de oxigênio (RRO) utilizando carbono Printex 6L modificado com óxidos binários compostos de nióbio, molibdênio e paládio, síntetizados pelo método dos precursores poliméricos. A análise dos materiais preparados foi feita a partir de experimentos de análise termogravimétrica (do inglês, TGA), fluorescência de raios X (FRX) e também de difração de raios X (DRX). As temperaturas de síntese foram escolhidas a partir dos resultados de TGA e tendo como temperatura máxima de 400 °C. As análises dos espectros de emissão de FRX mostraram a eficiência na incorporação dos materiais na matriz de carbono. Experimentos de DRX mostraram a presença de fases cristalinas de MoO2 e Nb2 O5 e PdO, e em comparação aos resultados da técnica de voltametria cíclica, existem pares redox que podem ser associados as transições dos metais nos estados de oxidação de +4 e +5, para molibdênio e nióbio, respectivamente e do estado +2 para o paládio. Nos experimentos de voltametria de varredura linear pode-se observar a tendência de maior geração de H2O2 pelo material com teor de 1% NbMo quando comparado com o carbono Printex 6L, de modo que foram calculadas as eficiências de geração de H2O2 , obtendo um resultado de 55,5% para o modificador de 1% NbMo comparado com 47,4% para o Printex 6L, e também de número de elétrons envolvidos na reação com um valor de 2,9 para o material de 1% e 3,1 para o carbono Printex. As análises das curvas de Koutechy-Levich confirmam os resultados anteriores. Análises em condições reduzidas na síntese orgânica corroboraram a melhor eficiência do material de 1% para o material com nióbio e molibdênio e revelaram a também a melhora eletrocatalítica do carbono quando incorporado com óxidos mistos de nióbio e paládio, sendo o melhor resultado expresso no material contendo 5% de nióbio e paládio, na proporção molar de 95 para 5% de cada elemento, respectivamente.

A resistência de cinco microrganismos presentes na microbiota da área de produção estéril (Cristalização Estéril), frente a ação do gás de peróxido de hidrogênio foi determinada e o valor O obtido para cada microrganismo foi comparado ao valor D do Bacillus stearothermophilus ATCC 12980 exposto ao mesmo agente. Os microrganismos testados foram Bacillus sp, M. luteus, Corynebacterium, Staphylococcus sp e Penicillium sp. Este teste tinha a finalidade de comprovar que a resistência do Bacillus stearothermophilus é maior quando da exposição ao peróxido de hidrogênio se comparada a outros microrganismos presentes na área produtiva. A metodologia consistiu da inoculação de 0,01 mL da suspensão de cada microrganismo na contagem de 102UFC/0,01 mL em cupons de aço inoxidável, previamente esterilizados por calor seco e posterior exposição ao gás de peróxido de hidrogênio. O experimento demonstrou que o valor D obtido para o Bacillus stearothermophilus ésuperior aos obtidos para os outros microrganismos em teste comprovando que a escolha deste microrganismo para o desafio contra o peróxido de hidrogênio é apropriada. Também executou-se o teste que visava garantir que o aço inoxidável é o material de suporte mais recomendado para este fim, utilizando-se suportes de diversos materiais normalmente encontrados no interior dos isoladores (PVC, aço inoxidável, CKC, teflon, polipropileno, látex, silicone, Hypalon, vidro, nylon, saco de alumínio) com 0,01 mL de inóculo de Bacillus stearothermophilus na contagem de 102UFC/O,01 mL, o que foi devidamente comprovado.

In Brazil many types of bioproducts and agroindustrial waste are generated currently, such as cacashew apple bagasse and coconut husk, for example. The final disposal of these wastes causes serious environmental issues. In this sense, waste lignocellulosic content, as the shell of the coconut is a renewable and abundant raw material in which its use has an increased interest mainly for the 2nd generation ethanol production. The hydrolysis of cellulose to reducing sugars such as glucose and xylose is catalysed by a group of enzymes called cellulases. However, the main bottleneck in the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose is the significant deactivation of the enzyme that shows irreversible adsorption mechanism leading to reduction of the cellulose adsorption onto cellulose. Studies have shown that the use of surfactants can modify the surface property of the cellulose therefore minimizing the irreversible binding. The main objective of the present study was to evaluate the influence of chemical and biological surfactants during the hydrolysis of coconut husk which was subjected to two pre-treatment in order to improve the accessibility of the enzymes to the cellulose, removing this way, part of the lignin and hemicellulose present in the structure of the material. The pre-treatments applied to coconut bagasse were: Acid/Alkaline using 0.6M H2SO4 followed by 1M NaOH, and the one with Alkaline Hydrogen Peroxide at a concentration of 7.35% (v/v) and pH 11.5. Both the material no treatment and pretreated were characterized using analysis of diffraction X-ray (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and methods established by NREL. The influence of both surfactants, chemical and biological, was used at concentrations below the critical micelle concentration (CMC), and the concentrations equal to the CMC. The application of pre-treatment with coconut residue was efficient for the conversion to glucose, as well as for the production of total reducing sugars, it was possible to observe that the pretreatment fragmented the structure as well as disordered the fibers. Regarding XRD analysis, a significant increase in crystallinity index was observed for pretreated bagasse acid/alkali (51.1%) compared to the no treatment (31.7%), while that for that treated with PHA, the crystallinity index was slightly lower, around 29%. In terms of total reducing sugars it was not possible to observe a significant difference between the hydrolysis carried out without the use of surfactant compared to the addition of Triton and rhamnolipid. However, by observing the conversions achieved during the hydrolysis, it was noted that the best conversion was using the rhamnolipíd for the husk pretreated with acid/alkali, reaching a value of 33%, whereas using Triton the higher conversion was 23.8%. The coconut husk is a residue which can present a high potential to the 2nd generation ethanol production, being the rhamonolipid a very efficient biosurfactant for use as an adjuvant in the enzymatic process in order to act on the material structure reducing its recalcitrance and therefore improving the conditions of access for enzymes to the substrate increasing thus the conversion of cellulose to glucose.
