The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of yeast cell wall extract (YCW) in dry diet on the fecal microbiota, concentration of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) and on the odor reduction of cats feces. We used 20 animals of both sexes, randomly assigned to four treatments and five repetitions totaling 20 experimental units: 1) dry commercial diet (control); 2) control + 0.2%, 3) control + 0.4%, and 4) control + 0.6% of YCW in dry matter. Enterobacteriaceae and lactic acid bacteria, fecal concentration of acetic, propionic and butyric acids, ammonia nitrogen and sensory panel were performed. There were no significant differences (p> 0.05) for bacterial counts and the concentration of SCFA and ammonia, but in sensory panel a reduction in the odor of feces could be noted with the use of 0.2% of YCW. We concluded that the addition of up to 0.6% YCW had no effect on the microbiology and the concentration of fatty acids, but there is potential for its use as an additive because of the improvement in the odor of feces. However, further studies are needed to understand the mechanisms of action and the effects of prebiotics for domestic cats.

The present work aimed to quantify the fatty acids in total lipids of Nile tilapia fingerlings (Oreochromis niloticus) fed with different sources of vegetable oils mechanically extracted. Were used 320 tilapias (O. niloticus) with average initial weight and average total initial length of 2.55±0.57 g and 5.59±0.43 cm, respectively, fed for a period of 60 days, in a randomized block design with eight treatments and four replications. The diets were prepared with 320 g/kg crude protein and 3.500 kcal of digestible energy per kg of feed enriched with eight different oils: sunflower, canola, sesame, linseed, peanut, Para's nut soy and macadamia, with an addition of 4%. Among the major fatty acids the oleic, palmitic, linolenic and linoleic were obtained in higher concentration (mg/g of LT) in fish from all treatments. The sums of polyunsaturated fatty acids after 60 days of cultivation had increased in all treatments compared to the 30 days of the experiment. This is due to the addition of oils with high contents of n-6 and n-3 fatty acids. The fatty acids in the carcass are a reflection of the energy source of oil used. As a conclusion it is recommended the use of linseed oil in the diet of tilapia fingerlings due to great improvement in the relationship between n-6/n-3.

Na medicina popular brasileira, sementes de gergelim preto (Sesamum indicum L) é um dos mais importantes ingrediente presentes em um chá usado para tratar vítimas de acidente vascular encefálico (AVE). Porém, o isolamento de extratos de gergelim preto para fins medicinais usando a tecnologia do fluido supercrítico não foi realizado. O objetivo deste trabalho foi investigar algumas variáveis de processo da extração com fluido supercrítico em sementes de gergelim preto para gerar extratos aplicáveis a pesquisa do AVE isquêmico focal. Duas isotermas (40 e 60 ºC) foram exploradas, combinadas com pressões de 200-400 bar, em vazão mássica de CO2 constante de 5,9 x 10-5 kg/s. Os rendimentos globais foram de 37-53% em base seca. O maior rendimento foi obtido em 60 ºC e 400 bar. A composição de ácidos graxos mostrou uma elevada razão de insaturados/ saturados. A análise de conteúdo de fitosteróis no extrato de maior rendimento revelou maiores quantidades de β-sitosterol + sitostanol, colesterol, campesterol + campestanol + 24-metileno colesterol, Δ-5 avenasterol and estigmasterol, enquanto que menores níveis de Δ-5,24 estigmastadienol, brassicasterol, clerosterol + Δ-5-23 estigmastadienol, Δ-7 avenasterol, eritrodiol and Δ-7 estigmastenol foram observados. As curvas de extração das extrações com fluido supercrítico no menor e maior rendimento mássico (200 e 400 bar a 60 ºC) foram ajustadas pelos modelos de Tan e Liou (1989), Martinez et al. (2003), Esquível et al. (1999), Goto et al. (1993) e Sovová (1994 e 2012). Os modelos de Tan e Liou (1989), Goto et al. (1993) e Sovová (1994 e 2012) apresentaram as melhores valores nominais de somas residuais dos quadrados. Experimentos pilotos sugerem que o extrato obtido via fluido supercrítico de gergelim preto é neuroprotetor em relação a isquemia focal por endotelina-1 no córtex motor de ratos machos adultos, observada a redução da área de infarto isquêmico.

The objective this study was to evaluate the fatty acids profile of samples of chips potato marketed in the city of São Jose do Rio Preto-SP. We collected samples of 10 brands of chips potato, obtained from 3 different batches. The fatty acids profile was obtained by gas chromatography, with peak identified by retention times with standards of methyl esters and the results calculated and expressed as g/100g of the sample. The fatty acids profile in chips potatoes from different brands were on average 39.22% for saturated fatty acids, 39.64% for monounsaturated, 18.60% for polyunsaturated and 2.43% for trans fatty acids.

The objective of this research was to evaluate the influence of the supply of five types of native and exotic cacti Brazilian semiarid northeast on the sensory characteristics of milk of Saanen goats. Five multiparous goats were used with nine weeks of lactation, average live weight of 50 kg ± 4 kg., confined and distributed in a Latin square design 5 x 5 with five experimental diets and five periods. Each period lasted 17 days, with 10 days of adaptation to the diets of the animals and seven days for the data collection. The treatments were defined based on dry matter consisted of: 47.33 to 50.12% of a cactus (“Xiquexique”, “Mandacaru”, “Facheiro” or two species of forage cactus “Miúda” or “Orelha de Elefante Mexicana”) more 18.78 to 19.79% hay of plant “Sabiá” and 31.10 to 32.89% of concentrate. There was not effect of the experimental diets in the physical and chemical composition of milk for fat, total solids and salts, which showed mean values of 3.24%; 11.30% and 0.66%, respectively. However the protein, lactose, nonfat dry extract and freezing point were affected by diets. In the profile of fatty acids was higher concentration of fatty short and medium chain fatty acids, however, there were not changes between treatments, except for the butyric acid (C4:0), with mean values of 4.24% (“Orelha de Elefante Mexicana”) to 6.05% (“Facheiro”). The diets also did not provide sensory changes in milk for the parameters: odor, flavor, aftertaste and overall assessment. The use of the five cactus in the diet of dairy goats do not influence the sensory characteristics and lipid profile of milk. The physical and chemical composition of milk was showed within the minimum requirements of current legislation, except for nonfat dry extract and freezing point.
