title: Effect of setting on the gelling properties of a protein concentrate from giant squid (Dosidicus gigas) mantle

description: Abstract Different studies on obtaining protein concentrates or surimi from giant squid ( Dosidicus gigas) have reported that soft gels are obtained in comparison with other fish species. Therefore, the aim of this research was to investigate the effect of the setting (30 and 60 °C, for 0, 30, 60, and 90 min) on the gelling capacity as a possible alternative to improve the textural characteristics of the gels. Treatments at 60 °C (G4, G5, and G6) had a higher percentage of insoluble protein, while the electrophoretic profile showed the presence of high molecular weight (HMW) aggregates, as well as the decrease of myosin, paramyosin and actin bands as the incubation time was increased. Likewise, these systems presented a lower content of total sulfhydryl (TSH), which is attributed to the formation of disulfide bridges. The texture profile analysis (TPA) showed that the setting application affected the different parameters evaluated (strength, elasticity, and cohesiveness). Setting as pretreatment did not prove to be a good alternative for the gelling of proteins from giant squid mantle, since the control treatment (no setting) was that which exhibited better textural characteristics.

title: The effect of micronized corn fiber on body weight, glycemia, and lipid metabolism in rats fed cafeteria diet

description: Abstract During corn industrial dry milling, a residue rich in dietary fibers is generated. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of micronized corn fiber (MCF) as part of a cafeteria diet in the macronutrient metabolism and body weight. Wistar male rats, with initial body weight of 249 ± 14 g (n = 13), received AIN-93M diet (Group 1) or cafeteria diet (Groups 2, 3 and 4), composed of commercial ration, cookies, fried potato sticks, milk chocolate, bacon and chicken liver pâté. Groups 3 and 4 received MCF to replace 100 and 50% of the cellulose from the AIN-93M diet, respectively. After 35 days, blood, tissues and feces were collected. Data were analyzed by ANOVA followed by Tukey test (p &lt; 0.10). The weight gain of the animals increased by 25.9%, 20.8% and 22.0%, when fed cafeteria diet or 100 and 50% of MCF respectively, compared to the control group, although food consumption did not differ between them. Body weight and food efficiency ratio did not differ between the groups fed cafeteria diet with or without MCF. The addition of MCF to the cafeteria diet did not alter the animal lipid profile and glycemia, however, the accumulation of lipids in their livers was similar to the control group. The intake of 100% MCF resulted in higher fecal weight and fecal excretion of lipids, and lower fecal nitrogen, lipid absorption and lipid deposition in the liver than the cafeteria diet. In conclusion, MCF has a potential to improve intestinal transit and lipid excretion, but showed no benefit on blood lipid and glucose levels.

title: Variables associated with the prevalence of anti-Leishmania spp. antibodies in dogs on the tri-border of Foz do Iguaçu, Paraná, Brazil

description: Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence of anti-Leishmania spp. antibodies in dogs from localities in the city of Foz do Iguaçu, Paraná state, Brazil, on the border with Argentina and Paraguay. Blood samples dogs were collected to perform the following serologic tests: immunochromatographic DPP® rapid test, indirect immunoenzymatic assay (ELISA) and indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA). In 2012, 285 dogs were analyzed on Argentina border, and in 2013, serum samples from 396 dogs on the border of Paraguay were collected. Using ELISA for screening and IFA for the confirmatory test, the results showed that the antibody prevalence was 1.8% (5/285) on the border of Argentina and 3.0% (12/396) on Paraguay border. When using the DPP® for screening and ELISA as a confirmatory analysis, we observed a seroreagent prevalence in dogs of 2.5% (7/285) on Argentina border and 5.1% (20/396) on Paraguay border. The non-public collection of domestic waste (p= 0.0004) was shown to be associated with leishmaniasis. This study shows the presence of leishmaniasis and suggest the emergence of canine visceral leishmaniasis in state of Paraná due to the confirmed occurrence of seroreactive dogs on Argentina and Paraguay border, which has environmental and geographical characteristics that favor the spread of the parasite.

title: Preparation and microbiological analysis of Tuscan sausage with added propolis extract

description: Abstract The aim of this study was to obtain hydroethanolic extract of propolis by extraction, assisted by focused microwave, and to apply it in Tuscan-style sausage. The extract was used at concentrations of 0.5%, 1.0% and 2.0% (w/v) in the manufacture of the sausage, which was then analyzed in cold storage at 4 °C for 56 days. The following analyses were performed: mesophilic and psychotrophic organisms; coliforms at 35 and 45 °C; positive and negative-coagulase Staphylococcus, sulfite-reducing Clostridium, and Salmonella spp. The results were below the limits established by the Brazilian legislation, with some changes at the end of the study. Consequently, propolis extract prolonged the shelf life of the Tuscan-style sausage for 56 days and it is therefore an ingredient that can be potentially used in the preparation of this product.

title: LIQUID-LIQUID EQUILIBRIUM AND KINETICS OF ETHANOLIC EXTRACTION OF SOYBEAN OIL USING ETHYL ACETATE AS CO-SOLVENT

description: Abstract This work reports a new set of experimental data for the liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE) of the system (soybean oil + ethyl acetate + anhydrous ethanol) and the kinetics of crude oil extraction from soybean flakes using anhydrous ethanol + ethyl acetate mixtures. Data for the LLE binodal were measured at 298.15, 313.15 and 333.15K by the cloud point method and tie-lines were obtained at 298.15 and 313.15 K. LLE data were successfully modeled using the NRTL model. Batch extractions were performed at 298.15, 313.15 and 328.15 K at a fixed (4:1) solvent to soybean flake mass ratio and two concentration of ethyl acetate (5% and 10%) in ethanol. Higher temperatures increased the solubility of the system and improved the extraction yields. In addition, higher ethyl acetate ratios in anhydrous ethanol led to an increase in the total amount of crude oil extracted when operating at 298.15 and 313.15 K. At 328.15 K, no improvement in extractions was verified when 5% and 10% of ethyl acetate were used in the ethanol. A mass transfer model based on Fick’s Law was applied to describe the extraction kinetics, presenting an average relative deviation of ± 5.11%, in terms of extraction yield.

title: PREPARATION OF MICRON-SIZED DROPLETS AND THEIR HYDRODYNAMIC BEHAVIOR IN QUIESCENT WATER

description: Abstract To study the hydrodynamics of rising droplets (especially less than 1 mm) in quiescent water, a microfluidic device with co-flowing configuration was integrated to prepare micron-sized droplets. Soybean oil and toluene droplets of size from 100 to 600 µm were obtained by five co-flowing devices with different capillary sizes. It is found that the capillary device with smaller tip size produces smaller droplets and, for a given device, the droplet size decreases with the increase of continuous phase flow rate. Alternatively, the increase of dispersed phase flow rate has little influence on the droplet size. To predict the droplet size, a correlation for dimensionless droplet diameter as a function of Capillary number (Ca), Reynolds number (Re) and viscosity ratio was proposed. Then, the hydrodynamics of a single droplet and of droplet swarms rising in quiescent water were extensively investigated. The experimental results show that the terminal velocity of a single micro-droplet is consistent with that of rigid spheres with the same size and density, while the terminal velocity of a droplet swarm is obviously higher than that of a single droplet. Experimental observation shows that the motion of a droplet swarm in static water is such a manner that each droplet alternately accelerates by chasing others, causing a higher terminal velocity. Furthermore, the terminal velocities of millimeter-sized toluene droplets rising in water were measured. Compared with rigid spheres, the droplets of dp=1~4.6 mm have higher terminal velocities, while the droplets of dp&gt;4.6 mm have lower terminal velocities. Finally, by taking into account the interfacial tension, internal circulation and shape deformation, a comprehensive explanation is proposed to describe the variation of the drag coefficient with the droplet size ranging from microns to millimeters.

title: Seasonal variations, metal distribution and water quality in the Todos os Santos River, Southeastern Brazil: a multivariate analysis

description: Abstract In aquatic habitats, metal contamination from natural and anthropogenic sources continues to pose a concern for human and environmental health. Thus, it is important to complete monitoring studies to assess patterns and the extent of metal contamination in these ecosystems. The purpose of this work was to determine the concentrations of 31 chemical elements and water quality parameters of the Todos os Santos River located in the Mucuri Valley, Minas Gerais, Brazil. A multivariate statistical analysis was used to determine any seasonal and spatial patterns from the data. Results demonstrated that metals including Al, Fe, and Ni exceeded Brazilian and international guidelines nutrients as P also exceed water quality standards. Principal components analysis indicated distinct geographical and seasonal patterns for multiple elements with hierarchical cluster analysis confirming the observed spatial patterns of contamination in the Todos os Santos River.

title: EFFECT OF STIRRING SPEED ON CONVERSION AND TIME TO PARTICLE STABILIZATION OF POLY (VINYL CHLORIDE) PRODUCED BY SUSPENSION POLYMERIZATION PROCESS AT THE BEGINNING OF REACTION

description: Abstract The effect of changes in the stirring speed during suspension polymerization of vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) was investigated near the particle stabilization. Preliminary tests were conducted to check the highest conversion and information regarding the porosity and particle stabilization of two formulations, which are based on different concentrations of initiators and dispersing agents. The influence of stirring speed during the first 2 h of reaction was investigated for the best formulation, indicating that there was a proportional relationship between the increase in speed and the increase in conversion. The results presented suggest that the highest stirring speeds (900 and 1000 rpm) tended to achieve the same conversion with increasing reaction time. This was also observed with the lower stirring speeds (600 and 700 rpm); however, the conversions obtained were lower than those found with higher stirring speeds. The conversions achieved in 20 to 30 min of reaction were similar for all stirring speeds studied (20 min: 4.8% ± 1.3%; 30 min: 7.5% ±1.4%). However, there was greater variation in conversion for longer reaction times (60 min: 15.9 ± 2.8%; 120 min 36.5 ± 2.4%). Stability of the particles was achieved for 6-8% conversion for all stirring speeds used when breakage and coalescence processes stop. The conversion interval obtained in this work was smaller than the values found in the literature (between 15 and 20%). The effect of stirred conditions on particle size distribution showed that better stability of the particle size occurred at 900 rpm for the system studied. In this case, variations in the particle size decreased when the conversion increased.
