Published: October 2019

BACKGROUND: The therapeutic benefits of plants depend on several factors such as the drying method used. So, to deepen and better explore the traditional use of plants, a comparative study between dry methods will be necessary. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this work, which was to study the composition of bioactive compounds and biological activities of Ficus carica leaves dried in oven and traditionally dried in the shade. METHODS: The bioactive compounds (total phenolics, flavonoids and tannins) were measured by colorimetric methods. The antioxidant activity was evaluated on the chemical model based on DPPH• and ABTS•+ technique as well as on cells and enzyme involved in inflammation: neutrophils and myeloperoxidase (MPO), respectively. RESULTS: The extract of the leaves dried in the shade has significantly high amounts of total phenolics, total flavonoids and tannins, respectively. In the same trend, the extract of the leaves dried in the shade showed a significantly higher effect to scavenge DPPH• and ABTS•+ radicals. Furthermore, the extract of the leaves dried in the oven decreased significantly the activity of MPO and the extracellular production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by neutrophils. CONCLUSION: This study showed that shade drying method better preserves the bioactive compounds, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of Ficus carica leaves.

BACKGROUND: Obesity and high body fat are related to metabolic syndrome (MetS) risk factors in all ethnic groups. OBJECTIVE: The present study aimed to determine optimal cutoff points for the Fat Mass Index (FMI), Body Fat Percentage (BF%), and Visceral Fat Area (VFA) in the prediction of MetS. METHODS: This cross-sectional study was performed on 10063 individuals aged from 35–65 years, recruited in Ravansar Non-Communicable Diseases (RaNCD) cohort. The anthropometric indices were measured using an appropriate validated methods and body composition was measured using Bio-Impedance Analyzer (Inbody 770, Inbody Co, Seoul, Korea). The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used to compare the predictive validity and determine optimal cutoff values. RESULTS: The optimal cutoff points for FMI, BF% and VFA were 7.2 kg/m2, 26.7 and 91.6 cm2 respectively in men for the prediction of MetS, but they were 11.3 kg/m2, 39.8 and 139.1cm2 respectively in women. Cutoff points were lower in rural populations than urban populations. In men and women with FMIs of higher than the optimal cutoff point, the risk of MetS was respectively 4.01 and 1.85 times higher than those with FMIs of lower than the cutoff point. In men and women with BF% of higher than the optimal cutoff point, the risk was respectively 3.62 and 1.70 times higher than those with BF% of lower than the cutoff point. CONCLUSION: The present study revealed that the FMI, BF%, and VFA indices were appropriate predictors of risk of MetS. The diagnostic power of the indicators was better in men and villagers.

Published: October 2019

Rice bran, a milling byproduct of rice is rich in nutrients especially high in fiber and protein in comparison with white wheat flour-which is predominantly used for bread production. Inclusion of rice bran with wheat flour was expected to induce nutritional value of bread positively. Two form of rice bran sample both full fatted and defatted were incorporated with wheat flour in a proportion of 0%, 5%, 10% and 15% respectively to develop composite bread. Physical, chemical, and sensory evaluation was carried out to determine the quality of different composite breads. Bread weight didn’t differ statistically though there was a marginal declination of volume for bread with the increase of the percentage of rice bran. The percentage of protein and fiber was increased rationally as expected. A level of 10% rice bran added to bread was regarded to yield good sensory quality.

RESUMO:A região do Seridó é marcada por seu passado colonial, em particular pelos ciclos econômicos do gado e do algodão. A memória da escravidão ficou silenciada aos longos dos anos e só recentemente ressurge, lançando novas luzes sobre um passado de sombras e silêncios. A retomada das memórias e a emergência étnica apoiam-se nos sabores e nas práticas culinárias tradicionais que substituem os silêncios e possibilitam recontar uma outra história. Através de pesquisas realizadas junto a atividades do Projeto de Pesquisa e Extensão Tronco, Ramos e Raízes, coletamos dados etnográficos em diversas localidades do Seridó, seguindo os rastros das memórias das cozinheiras negras. Nas cozinhas do Seridó, emerge um patrimônio cultural de matriz africana que estava invisibilizado mas, no entanto, presentes no cotidiano: conforme apontamos ao longo do artigo, as comidas “do tempo do cativeiro” ainda são a base da alimentação cotidiana na atualidade e são pouco a pouco revalorizadas. Práticas e técnicas alimentares transmitidas pelas mulheres no seio das famílias negras ao longo das gerações: essas comidas de raízes ultrapassam hoje o âmbito doméstico e entra para o gosto público, como patrimônio.Palavras-chave: Saberes.

Published: October 2019

RESUMO:No Maciço de Baturité, assim como em outras regiões do Nordeste brasileiro, a farinhada – produção artesanal de farinha de mandioca –, assume diversos sentidos para além da dimensão do alimento, pois trata-se de prática cultural de grande importância para região. A casa de farinha remete às memórias dos farinheiros, aos gostos e sabores, ao tempo em que havia um circuito de farinhadas em grande parte das comunidades rurais. Porém, em tempos de padronizações dos alimentos, muitas formas de produção tradicionais estão em transformação. Como passos iniciais desta pesquisa, foram feitas incursões exploratórias na região, através da cooperação de informantes chave atuantes no território. O desenvolvimento da mandiocultura em sistema de consórcio, garante às famílias, não só o consumo da produção, como também a comercialização, contribuindo, concomitantemente com a segurança alimentar e nutricional e desenvolvimento dos agricultores familiares. Apesar de várias casas de farinha terem sido abandonadas, algumas chegando até a cair pela ação do tempo, ainda há muitas que persistem e se tornam um ambiente vivo para compreensão das práticas e modos de vida associados a atividade de elaboração artesanal da farinha de mandioca naquela realidade.Palavras-chave: Farinhada. Produtos tradicionais. Autoconsumo. Identidade. ABSTRACT:In the Maciço of Baturité, as well as in other regions of the Brazilian northeast, the flour-handmade production of manioc flour, assumes several senses beyond the size of the food goes beyond the process of production of flour, because it is deé a practice Culture of great importance for the region. It refers to the memories of the farinheiros, to the tastes and flavors, to the time when they had a circuit of flours in most of the rural communities. However, in times of food standardization, many traditional forms of production are in transformation. As the initial steps of this research, exploratory raids were made in the region, through the cooperation of the territorial articulators. The development of Mandiocultura in a consortium system guarantees families, not only the consumption of their production, but also the marketing, contributing to the food and nutritional security of family farmers. Although several flour houses have been abandoned, some coming up to fall by the action of time, there are still many that persist and become a living environment for understanding the practices and ways of life associated with the artisanal crafting of the flour of mandioca.Keywords: Flour.

L'huréaulite : ses propriétés minéralogiques et son rôle dans l'évolution génétique des phases Li (Fe, Mn) PO4
Authors: Fransolet André-Mathieu 
Published: October 2019

Cette étude sur l'huréaulite, fréquente dans les associations de phosphates des pegmatites granitiques, comporte deux parties.
La première partie fournit des données nouvelles sur les propriétés minéralogiques de ce minéral. L'analyse chimique de deux huréaulites, l'une de Buranga (Rwanda), l'autre de Mangualde (Portugal), conduit à une discussion cristallochimique. Les propriétés optiques précisées permettent la distinction de deux types d'huréaulite : l'une est incolore en lame mince, avec 2V = (— ) 60 à 80° ; l'autre est intensément pléochroïque, avec 2 V = (+) 15 à 30°. Grâce à des mesures cristallographiques, des variations des paramètres cristallins apparaissent en relation avec le rapport Mn/Mn + Fe²⁺ de ces minéraux.
La seconde partie, consacrée au problème génétique, comporte d'abord une description détaillée des relations structurales des associations de Buranga, Kobokobo (Kivu, Zaïre) et Mangualde. Cet examen pétrologique met en évidence deux générations d'huréaulite. Une première formation d'huréaulite incolore, riche en Fe²⁺, en équilibre avec la barbosalite, remplace progressivement la phase mère Li (Fe, Mn) PO₄. La seconde génération s'élabore, après une activité nouvelle de Fe, sous des conditions d'oxydation plus forte ; les cristaux d'huréaulite colorée se forment alors, suivant la disponibilité de Mn. La coloration rose serait due à une oxydation partielle de la faible teneur en Fe de cette huréaulite secondaire.
Finalement, ces deux générations sont replacées dans le schéma de l'évolution des termes de la série triphylite˗lithiophilite.
