Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Extração de Compostos Antioxidantes de Cissus sicyoides L. com Tecnologia Supercrítica e Determinação da Atividade Anti-inflamatória no Modelo de Lesão Medular(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-05-11) RODRÍGUEZ SALAZAR, Marielba de Los Ángeles; CARVALHO JÚNIOR, Raul Nunes de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5544305606838748; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4433-6580Cissus sicyoides L. or Cissus verticillata L., also known as vegetable insulin, is a plant that has a potent anti-inflammatory activity, due to its chemical composition, which stands out for the presence of compounds with high antioxidant activity. Supercritical technology is an appropriate alternative to extract antioxidant compounds from plant matrices. In this sense, the objective of this thesis was to perform the extraction of antioxidant compounds present in C. sicyoides through supercritical technology, using CO2 and EtOH as a co-solvent, and subsequently, in the supercritical extract, to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effect in the spinal cord injury model. For this, in the first experimental stage of the thesis, the identification of phenolic compounds by HPLC and the cytotoxic effect, on human red blood cells, of the extract of leaves and stems of C. sicyoides obtained by supercritical extraction was evaluated, in the operating condition of 50 °C/ 400 bar and 10 % EtOH (𝜌𝐶𝑂2+𝐸𝑡𝑂𝐻 = 953 kg/m3), compared to the extract obtained by conventional extraction (Soxhlet) and, finally, the antiinflammatory effect in the spinal cord injury model was evaluated. In the analysis of the extracts by HPLC, the UV/Visible spectral data revealed compounds with absorption bands at wavelengths characteristic of glycosylated flavonoids. The supercritical extract did not show a cytotoxic effect, as there was no disruption of red blood cell membranes. The in vivo assay demonstrated an apparent reduction in cell concentration in the area surrounding the lesion in the treated animals, suggesting an anti-inflammatory effect of the supercritical extract in the spinal cord injury model. In the second experimental stage of the thesis, the aim was to study the antioxidants present in each part of C. sicyoides (fruits, flowers, leaves and stems). Samples were evaluated for CFT content by the Folin-Ciocalteu method, which ranged from 9.30 to 141.04 mg GAE/g of sample, of FT by complexation with aluminum chloride from 1.03 to 44.02 mg QE /g of sample, its antioxidant activity by the DPPH method, the EC50 value varied between 162.83 to 453.25 g of sample/g of DPPH and by the FRAP method the values were 199.14 and 241.26 μM ferrous sulfate/ g sample. Thus, leaves and stems before and after SFE are rich in antioxidants, which justifies the high FT content, as well as the higher antioxidant activity by the tested methods. Finally, in the SFE process it was possible to obtain an extract with potential antioxidant activity, which can be used for biological applications.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Interesterificação enzimática de óleo de pracaxi, gordura de cupuaçu e estearina de palma: obtenção de gorduras especiais para aplicação na indústria alimentícia(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2018-02-28) SILVA, Dayala Albuquerque da; SILVA, Luiza Helena Meller da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2311121099883170The methods of modification of oils and fats are widely applied in the food industry to obtain products with specific characteristics. Among these, the blending and interesterification stand out, through which the structured lipids are obtained. From the enzymatic interesterification, lipids can be obtained with greater control of the distribution of fatty acids than those obtained chemically. And its employs softer reaction conditions that interfere positively with the quality of the lipids obtained. However, although there are already several studies on obtaining lipid bases for application in the food industry through enzymatic interesterification, there are few studies applying as oilseeds of the amazon region. Thus, this study aimed to obtain special fats for application in the food industry through the blending and enzymatic interesterification of fats of amazon region (pracaxi oil, cupuassu fat and palm stearin). The binary blends between the oil and the fats were developed in ratios (w/w) 40:60, 50:50, 60:40 and 70:30. The Lipozyme TL IM (Thermomyces lanuginosus) was used. The reactions were carried out under the following conditions: at 60 ºC, 5% (w/w) of enzyme, agitation of 150 rpm and reaction time of 5 h. The pure samples and the blends were evaluated regarding of acidity, peroxide, melting point, iodine value, saponification value, fatty acid composition, triacylglycerol composition, oxidative stability, olid fat content and consistency. The samples’ nutritional quality was determined using the nutritional quality indexes (AI, TI and HH). Blends with more than 50 % of unsaturated fatty acids were obtained. The addition of pracaxi oil in the blends improved the nutritional quality indexes. The enzymatic interesterification caused the increase of the melting point for PC blends and the reduction for the PE blends. The same behavior was observed for the solid fat content. The blends obtained were suitable for use in fatty products, in special in the margarines, shortenings, bakery/confectionery fats and fat for frying.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Obtenção de Extratos Polissacarídicos do Cogumelo Comestível Pleurotus Ostreatus com tecnologia de fluido supercrítico(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2020-03-13) BARBOSA, Jhonatas Rodrigues; BARBOSA, Jhonatas Rodrigues; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2588425611542447The present dissertation proposal sought to develop an efficient method for recovery of extracts rich in polysaccharides from the edible mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus using binary system with hot water and supercritical CO2. The dissertation was structured in two interconnected chapters. Chapter I is a published article of review bibliographic, in which the latest findings of the literature on the subject are addressed clearly and factually, emphasizing the development of new extraction techniques, biological potential, and new technologies. Chapter II is a research article, where the main findings about the extraction and characterization process of a fraction rich in polysaccharides are displayed. The results show that the technology and process developed were efficient for recovery with a high yield of extracts rich in polysaccharides. In addition, research has shown that the extracts are a mixture of heteropolysaccharides, β-glucans, α-glucans, and oligosaccharides. The extract with the best extraction condition has high antioxidant activity, does not have cytotoxic effects, and has cytoprotective activity against free radicals. Thus, the method developed to recover extracts rich in polysaccharides is efficient, environmentally friendly and has potential for industrial implementation.
