Análise farmacognóstica das folhas de Arrabidaea chica (Humb. & Bonpl.) B. Verlt., Bignoniaceae
(2010-05) ALVES, Mauro Sérgio Marques; MENDES, Patrizia Cardoso; VIEIRA, Janaína Gell de Pontes; OZELA, Eliana Ferreira; BARBOSA, Wagner Luiz Ramos; SILVA JÚNIOR, José Otávio Carréra
Arrabidaea chica (Humb. & Bonpl.) B. Verlt. is a Bignoniaceae widely used in the popular medicine as anti-inflammatory and astringent agent, and for some illnesses as intestinal colic, diarrhoeas, anaemia and diseases of the skin. Its biological properties and dye biosynthesis lead the species to be used in the cosmetic industry. The use of natural products of vegetal origin implies in pharmacognostic quality control and purity assays that compose the technical specifications of the material. Therefore, the anatomical description of mature and young leaves of A. chica was carried through the use of optic microscopy on histological preparations. The leaves are hipostomatic and dorsiventral with heterogeneous mesophile. In petiole, the epidermis is unistratified, it contains trachoma and it is endowed with thin cuticle. The pharmacopoeia assays included the determination of the grain size distribution of the plant drug, the determination of humidity and the total ashes, beyond the phytochemistry approach of tincture, to establish parameters for its quality control.

Influência da velocidade de circulação do leite na adesão de Pseudomonas aeruginosa sobre aço inoxidável
(2009-09) FIGUEIREDO, Hamilton Mendes de; ANDRADE, Nélio José de; OZELA, Eliana Ferreira; MORALES, Gundisalvo Piratoba
The influence of the flow milk circulation in the bacterial adhesion of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was evaluated by simulation tests through a circuit model of milk processing. The circuit is composed of a tubulation of stainless steel AISI 304, with 1.9 cm of diameter, 5.8 m of length and a tank of 25 L used as the reservoir of the product and sanitizer solutions. The reservoir was coupled to a centrifugal bomb of ½ HP to impel the food or sanitizer solutions for the system equipped with 90º and T cylindrical stainless steel specimens. The speed of circulation values were 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 m.s–1, corresponding to turbulent flow with number of Reynolds 14.000, 28.000 and 42.000, respectively. When flow of 0.5 m.s–1 was used 10.7% the cells remained adhered, however at the speed values of 1.0 and 1.5 m.s–1 the adhesion percentages were 5.36 and 4.9%, respectively. These findings indicate a lower removal rate of adhered cells as flow decreases allowing higher number of bacteria to adhere to the production line, which can favor the biofilm formation.
