The potential of NMR spectroscopy to differentiate honeys concerning to the nectar employed in its production was evaluated. The application of chemometric methods to 1H NMR spectra has allowed to discriminate the honeys produced in the state of São Paulo, being identified the signals of responsible substances for the discrimination. Application of PCA and HCA methods to 1H NMR data have resulted in the natural clustering of the samples. Wildflower honeys were characterized by higher concentration of phenylalanine and tyrosine. Citrus honeys showed higher amounts of sucrose than other compounds, while eucalyptus honeys had higher amount of lactic acid than the others. Assa-peixe honeys showed spectra similar to eucalyptus and citrus. Sugar-cane honeys showed some signals similar to eucalyptus and citrus honeys, but also showed the tyrosine and phenylalanine signals. Adulterated honeys showed 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, citric acid and ethanol signals. KNN, SIMCA and PLS-DA methods were used to build predictive models for honey classification. In the commercial honeys prediction KNN, SIMCA and PLS-DA models correctly classified 66.7; 22.2 and 72.2% of the samples, respectively. 相似文献

Zein is a biodegradable and biocompatible material extracted from renewable resources; it comprises almost 80% of the whole protein content in corn. This review highlights and describes some zein and zein-based materials, focusing on biomedical applications. It was demonstrated in this review that the biodegradation and biocompatibility of zein are key parameters for its uses in the food-packing, biomedical and pharmaceutical fields. Furthermore, it was pointed out that the presence of hydrophilic-hydrophobic groups in zein chains is a very important aspect for obtaining material with different hydrophobicities by mixing with other moieties (polymeric or not), but also for obtaining derivatives with different properties. The physical and chemical characteristics and special structure (at the molecular, nano and micro scales) make zein molecules inherently superior to many other polymers from natural sources and synthetic ones. The film-forming property of zein and zein-based materials is important for several applications. The good electrospinnability of zein is important for producing zein and zein-based nanofibers for applications in tissue engineering and drug delivery. The use of zein’s hydrolysate peptides for reducing blood pressure is another important issue related to the application of derivatives of zein in the biomedical field. It is pointed out that the biodegradability and biocompatibility of zein and other inherent properties associated with zein’s structure allow a myriad of applications of such materials with great potential in the near future. 相似文献

In this work, the use of 1H-NMR spectroscopy and a statistical approach to the analysis of biodiesel concentrations in blends with conventional diesel
is described. For this, we performed 1H-NMR analyses using distinct mixtures of biodiesel from soybean and castor oil in mineral diesel, in concentrations ranging
from 0.5 to 30%, and then we applied partial least squares regression (PLS) and principal components regression (PCR) to such
data. So, six models were designed and they were evaluated through statistical parameters and through the analysis of four
samples prepared in the laboratory. Briefly, a PLS model, obtained through the selection of aromatic, aliphatic and methoxy
spectral regions, was quite suitable for the prediction of biodiesel concentrations greater than 2.0%. Deviations of real
and predicted values were found to B2 commercial blends, indicating that this model can only be applied to blends exceeding
a 2.0% level of biodiesel in petroleum diesel. In conclusion, the 1H-NMR-PLS method is fairly useful for the quality control of biodiesel–diesel blends, whose commercialisation has increased
in the last few years. 相似文献

This work describes using 1H NMR data and pattern recognition analysis to classify vinegars. Vinegar authenticity is linked to raw ingredient source and manufacturing conditions. Application of PCA and HCA methods resulted in the natural clustering of the samples according to the raw material used. Wine vinegars were characterized by a high concentration of ethyl acetate, glycerol, methanol and tartaric acid, while glycerol and ethyl acetate signals were not visible in alcohol/agrin vinegars. Apple vinegars showed to be richer in alanine. The KNN, SIMCA and PLS-DA methods were used to build predictive models for classification of vinegar type wine, apple and alcohol/agrin (27 samples - 22 as training set). The models were tested using an independent set (5 samples), no samples were wrongly classified. Validated models were used to predict the class of 21 commercial samples, which, as expected, were correctly classified. Eight commercial vinegars (honey, orange, pineapple and rice) were discriminated from these samples using PCA method. Honey vinegars did not present ethanol signals and pineapple vinegars presented the largest amount of tartaric acid. Rice and orange vinegars are richer in lactic acid and did not present the methanol signal. Alanine signals were not visible in orange vinegars. 相似文献

Alloys of Al-Sn and Al-Si are widely used in tribological applications such as cylinder liners and journal bearings. Studies
of the influence of the as-cast microstructures of these alloys on the final mechanical properties and wear resistance can
be very useful for planning solidification conditions in order to permit a desired level of final properties to be achieved.
The aim of the present study was to contribute to a better understanding about the relationship between the scale of the dendritic
network and the corresponding mechanical properties and wear behavior. The Al-Sn (15 and 20 wt pct Sn) and Al-Si (3 and 5 wt
pct Si) alloys were directionally solidified under unsteady-state heat flow conditions in water-cooled molds in order to permit
samples with a wide range of dendritic spacings to be obtained. These samples were subjected to tensile and wear tests, and
experimental quantitative expressions correlating the ultimate tensile strength (UTS), yield tensile strength, elongation,
and wear volume to the primary dendritic arm spacing (DAS) have been determined. The wear resistance was shown to be significantly
affected by the scale of primary dendrite arm spacing. For Al-Si alloys, the refinement of the dendritic array improved the
wear resistance, while for the Al-Sn alloys, an opposite effect was observed, i.e., the increase in primary dendrite arm spacing improved the wear resistance. The effect of inverse segregation, which is
observed for Al-Sn alloys, on the wear resistance is also discussed. 相似文献

The water buffalo mozzarella cheese is a typical Italian cheese which has been introduced in the thriving Brazilian market in the last 10 y, with good acceptance by its consumers. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) play an important role in the technological and sensory quality of mozzarella cheese. In this study, the aim was to evaluate the diversity of the autochthones viable LAB isolated from water buffalo mozzarella cheese under storage. Samples were collected in 3 independent trials in a dairy industry located in the southeast region of Brazil, on the 28th day of storage, at 4 ºC. The LAB were characterized by Gram staining, catalase test, capacity to assimilate citrate, and production of CO2 from glucose. The diversity of LAB was evaluated by RAPD‐PCR (randomly amplified polymorphic DNA‐polymerase chain reaction), 16S rRNA gene sequencing, and by Vitek 2 system. Twenty LAB strains were isolated and clustered into 12 different clusters, and identified as Streptococcus thermophilus, Enterococcus faecium, Enterococcus durans, Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides, Lactobacillus fermentum, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus, and Lactobacillus helveticus. Enterococcus species were dominant and citrate‐positive. Only the strains of L. mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides and L. fermentum produced CO2 from glucose and were citrate‐positive, while L. casei was only citrate positive. This is the first report which elucidates the LAB diversity involved in Brazilian water buffalo mozzarella cheese. Furthermore, the results show that despite the absence of natural whey cultures as starters in production, the LAB species identified are the ones typically found in mozzarella cheese. 相似文献

The present study evaluated the antiulcerogenic activity and mechanisms of the aqueous (AqF 100 mg/kg) and ethyl acetate (AcF 50 mg/kg) fractions from Indigofera truxillensis leaves. This dose was selected to assess its activity on ulcer healing and its action on gastric acid and mucus secretion, prostaglandin production and antioxidant enzyme activity (superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and glutathione reductase (GSH-Rd)). Gastric ulcer was induced by absolute ethanol. Antisecretory action, mucus and prostaglandin production, healing and antioxidant enzyme activities were evaluated for both fractions. AqF and AcF significantly inhibited the gastric mucosal damage caused by ethanol. This effect was statistically significant at 100 and 50 mg/kg compared with the vehicle. Neither fraction interfered with gastric secretion. AcF increased the PGE2 production, and both fractions increased mucus production. l-NAME did not alter the gastroprotection exerted by the fractions, but N-ethylmaleimide attenuated only AcF. In the ischemia/reperfusion model both fractions inhibited the mucosal damage. AcF increased SOD, GSH-Px and GSH-Rd activity, but AqF increased only SOD and GSH-Px. In the acetic acid-induced ulcer model AcF only accelerated ulcer healing. These results showed that Indigofera truxillensis acted as a gastroprotective agent, stimulating protective factors and antioxidants enzymes. 相似文献

This work aims at discriminating flours of 26 maize landraces from southern Brazil, by using the Attenuated Total Reflection Fourier Transform Infrared (ATR‐FTIR) spectroscopy and chemometrics (principal components analysis – PCA). PCA applied to the FTIR spectra in the 3‐600 (whole spectrum) and 1650–1500 cm?1 (fingerprint region of proteins) spectral windows clearly discriminated the Amarelão landrace. Quantitative and semi‐qualitative analysis of proteins showed a wide range among the fractions, mainly of prolamine (13.47–28.43 g Kg?1) and glutelin (5.57–30.98 g Kg?1) contents. Pixurum 6, Pixurum 5, and MPA1 landraces are of superior nutritional value for their albumin, globulin, and glutelin contents. PCA of the spectral dataset in the fingerprint region to carbohydrates (1200–950 and 1065–950 cm?1) also including commercial standards of amylose and amylopectin was able in separating the Moroti genotype, which grouped with the amylopectin standard. Thus, ATR‐FTIR and PCA showed to be useful tools for the quick screening and discrimination of maize with distinct chemical composition. 相似文献

Liquid polyisoprene rubbers (LIR) containing anhydride and carboxylic groups along their chains were successfully employed as toughening agent for poly(lactic acid) (PLA) without great influence on the stiffness of the matrix. In fact, the addition of 5% of these functionalized LIR resulted in an improvement of toughness and impact resistance of more than 2000%, whereas the reduction of the yield stress stayed in the range of 12%. No significant variation of the Young modulus was observed for the modified PLA samples. The effect of the LIR on the rheological and thermal properties of PLA was also investigated. The glass transition temperature obtained from dynamic-mechanical analysis of the PLA matrix was not affected by the addition of 10% of the liquid rubber. The scanning electron microscopy analysis revealed a significant decrease in the rubber domains for the blends containing LIR functionalized with anhydride groups. Finally, the modified PLA with anhydride-functionalized LIR was able to produce transparent film with outstanding mechanical performance than neat PLA, making this material a good option for food packaging. 相似文献

Treatment of a sanitary landfill leachate using combined solar photo-Fenton and biological immobilized biomass reactor at a pilot scale 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A solar photo-Fenton process combined with a biological nitrification and denitrification system is proposed for the decontamination of a landfill leachate in a pilot plant using photocatalytic (4.16 m2 of Compound Parabolic Collectors - CPCs) and biological systems (immobilized biomass reactor). The optimum iron concentration for the photo-Fenton reaction of the leachate is 60 mg Fe2+ L−1. The organic carbon degradation follows a first-order reaction kinetics (k = 0.020 L kJUV−1, r0 = 12.5 mg kJUV−1) with a H2O2 consumption rate of 3.0 mmol H2O2 kJUV−1. Complete removal of ammonium, nitrates and nitrites of the photo-pre-treated leachate was achieved by biological denitrification and nitrification, after previous neutralization/sedimentation of iron sludge (40 mL of iron sludge per liter of photo-treated leachate after 3 h of sedimentation). The optimum C/N ratio obtained for the denitrification reaction was 2.8 mg CH3OH per mg N-NO3−, consuming 7.9 g/8.2 mL of commercial methanol per liter of leachate. The maximum nitrification rate obtained was 68 mg N-NH4+ per day, consuming 33 mmol (1.3 g) of NaOH per liter during nitrification and 27.5 mmol of H2SO4 per liter during denitrification. The optimal phototreatment energy estimated to reach a biodegradable effluent, considering Zahn-Wellens, respirometry and biological oxidation tests, at pilot plant scale, is 29.2 kJUV L−1 (3.3 h of photo-Fenton at a constant solar UV power of 30 W m−2), consuming 90 mM of H2O2 when used in excess, which means almost 57% mineralization of the leachate, 57% reduction of polyphenols concentration and 86% reduction of aromatic content. 相似文献
