Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Biodiversidade bacteriana durante a fermentação espontânea de frutos de açaí (Euterpe oleracea)(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2015-06-22) MOURA, Fábio Gomes; ROGEZ, Hervé Louis Ghislain; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5202118426597590Açai (Euterpe oleracea) fruits (AF) and a wide variety of products derived from this fruit are an example of success of a local and typically Brazilian product on the global market. The AF suffer spontaneous fermentation during postharvest due mainly to its high microbial load and the favourable intrinsic and extrinsic parameters. The biodiversity of microbial community in AF and their evolution between three geographical origins and two fermentation conditions were examined. Culture-independent methods based on 16S rRNA from fifteen samples revealed that Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes and Acidobacteria were the most abundant phyla. At genus level, were identified Massilia (taxon with more than 50 % of sequences remaining constant during the 30 h of fermentation), Pantoea (taxon with the highest increase during fermentation), Naxibacter, Enterobacter, Raoultella and Klebsiella, forming the carposphere bacterial microbiota of AF. Attributes related to plant growth promotion (siderophores) and others compounds e.g. poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) and violacein in response to stress conditions could improve the Massilia preponderance. Beta diversity showed that quality parameters of AF (pH, soluble solids, titratable acididy and lipids) and elemental analysis (C, N, H and C/N ratio) were unable to establish microbial patterns in AF. This research offers new insights and perspectives of the indigenous bacterial community composition on AF as a function of spontaneous fermentation during postharvest.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Estudo da combinação de preparações enzimáticas no rendimento de extração aquosa do óleo da polpa de Euterpe oleracea Martius(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-03-23) FERREIRA, Erika de Souza; HERMAN, Christelle Anne Nicole Paule; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8386417434654533The oil of the açai palm tree (Euterpe oleracea) fruits has a beneficial lipid profile for health with a high content of mono and polyunsaturated fatty acids, besides antioxidant substances, which provides its appreciation on the industry. The aqueous extraction of vegetable oils supported by enzymes has been widely used because of its benefits compared to the traditional processes. In this context, this work aims to identify the best combination of enzymatic preparations, which would maximize the aqueous extraction yield of the oil of the açai palm tree fruits from the pulp. The açai pulp was obtained from fruits collected in Abaetetuba during the 2015 crop. Four commercial enzymatic preparations (Novozymes) were used: Celluclast 1,5L (cellulase); Viscozyme L (endo 1,3(4) β-glucanase, xylanase, cellulase and hemicellulase); Ultrazym AFP (pectin lyase, cellulase and polygalacturonase); and Shearzyme 500L (endo 1,4-xylanase). The tests of açai oil extraction were performed by a process developed in this work with the following parameters: mean granulometry of the açai pulp of 0,75 cm; global dry matter of the aqueous mixtures of the pulp of 15%; individual enzymatic concentration of 1% (w:w) on pulp basis; constant orbital agitation of 100 rpm and vigorous agitation by hand every 30 minutes; incubation time and temperature of 4 hours and 50°C, respectively. The enzymatic preparations were tested individually (1x1) in quadruplicate, or combined (2x2; 3x3 and 4x4) in triplicate, totaling 89 tests. The negative control presented a mean yield of extraction of 34,91±11,81%, the lowest of all the tests. The tests performed with the isolated enzymatic preparations have enabled an increase of the extraction yield up to 36,66% compared to the negative control, confirming the important role of the enzymes in the aqueous extraction process. The tests performed with the enzymatic preparations combined 3x3 and 4x4 have increased the extraction yield up to 99,05% compared to the negative control, demonstrating the importance of using the combinations of enzymatic preparations. Among the different tests performed, the enzymatic preparations that stood out are Celluclast 1,5 L, Viscozyme L and Ultrazym AFP by facilitating the oil recovery with a reduce standard deviation (±3,01%). Furthermore, the extraction yield using this combination of three enzymatic preparations is statistically equal to the extraction yield using the four enzymatic preparations, which becomes interesting to the industry due to the cost reduction in the process.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Potencial de produção de antimicrobianos a partir de bactérias isoladas do açaí (Euterpe oleracea)(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2015-08-17) SALLES, Marina Ludmila Oliveira Conor; SANTOS, Agenor Valadares; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9530734927662735Açaí is the fruit of a palm tree widely distributed in the Amazon region and has a high microbial load that favors the fruit fermentation process. It is unknown specific studies to investigate the production of antimicrobial substances of biotechnological interest from microorganisms present in acai fruit, which can result in increased value to the fruit. Since food safety has become an increasingly international concern the application of bacteriocins that target food pathogens without adverse toxic effects, have received great attention. The objective of this work is to isolate bacteria from acai, identify the antimicrobial activity of the isolated bacteria, and characterize the extracts of these bacteria as pH, temperature, stability and action spectrum. The selected fruits were collected in Combu Island and Abaetetuba, State of Para, Brazil. These followed for asepsis and pulp removal and dilutions were inoculated in MRS agar and isolated for analysis The antagonism in vitro was performed with the technique of spot-on-the lawn revealing against three bacteria: Corynebacterium sp, Listeria monocytogenes and Bacillus cereus; and with the well diffusion technique. These extracts were characterized for thermal stability (121 ° C / 15 minutes), enzyme sensitivity to trypsin and pH neutralization. Of the thirty-nine bacterial isolates, it was observed antagonistic activity in nineteen of them. Of thesecould be observed twelve showed extracellular antagonist activity. Four extracts showed sensitivity to trypsin, indicating that these may be bacteriocins. Neutralized extracts showed no activity, which indicates better activity at pH acid extracts. Most of the extracts showed activity after being autoclaved, which may be an indication that the extracts have bacteriocins in Classes I and II. This work shows that bacteria isolated from acai have potential for the production of antimicrobial substances.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) O uso de compostos fenólicos na prevenção da doença de parkinson: análise bibliométrica e crítica dos 100 artigos mais citados da Web of Science e avaliação neuroprotetora do açaí (euterpe oleracea) em ratos wistar(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2022-12) SANTOS JUNIOR, José Messias dos; LIMA, Rafael Rodrigues; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3512648574555468; HTTPS://ORCID.ORG/0000-0003-1486-4013; ROGEZ, Hervé Louis Ghislain; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5202118426597590; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8925-8881Parkinson's disease is characterized by the death of dopaminergic neurons with both motor and non-motor symptoms. The current treatment available does not prevent the progression of the disease and, therefore, new alternatives have been sought for its prevention. Phenolic compounds that are present in foods and beverages of plant origin have bioactivities including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity that may contribute to neuroprotection. The general objective of this thesis is to evaluate bibliometric parameters and experimental designs of the 100 most cited articles from WoS-CC on the use of phenolic compounds in Parkinson's disease and to carry out an in vivo laboratory study using Wistar rats exposed to açaí for 15 days before induction of Parkinson's disease-like symptoms through 6-hydroxydopamine. The 100 most cited articles in WoS-CC are predominantly from the Asian continent and China, EGCG and oxidative stress being the most evaluated compound and therapeutic target among the 100 studies. In vitro and in vivo laboratory studies represent approximately 70% of the list. The results demonstrated among the 100 articles are due to concentrations and administration routes that do not resemble consumption through the diet. Pre-treatment with açaí increased GSH levels and decreased MDA levels, in addition to preventing damage to spontaneous locomotion. The results suggest the neuroprotective potential of açaí related to its composition of phenolic compounds.
