(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2010) MIRANDA JUNIOR, Raimundo Nonato Cardoso; DOLABELA, Maria Fâni; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0458080121943649; MAIA, José Guilherme Soares; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1034534634988402
In search of new antimalarial drugs, two typical species of the Amazon region and a fraction rich limonoids were the object of this study: Carapa guianensis Aubl. (Meliaceae), known popularly as andiroba traditionally used as an insecticide and fighting malaria, the species Piper aduncum L. (Piperaceae), known popularly as the pimento-de-macaco, used to treat inflammatory diseases and the fraction rich limonoids obtained from Carapa guianensis. Crude oil and fraction were tested in vitro using methods described by Rieckman and col. (1980) modified by Carvalho (1990) with Plasmodium falciparum clones W2 and Dd2. These studies showed that the oils had antiplasmodial activity, with a concentration of 0.82ng/mL and 8.2mg/mL andiroba oil showed an inhibition he W2 clone was 100% and Dd2 to 71% (IC50 9.4 μg/ml) after 72h of exposure respectively. For the fraction at a concentration of 3.1mg/mL, clone W2, was 100% and Dd2 to 82% (IC50 0.4 μg/ml), after 72h of exposure. The pimento-de-macaco oil overalls had a concentration of 1.30ng/mL for the W2 clone inhibition of 100% and the Dd2 to 77% after 72h of exposure to a concentration of 10.3mg/mL. The results with the chili oil overalls at a concentration of 1.30ng/ml the inhibition was 100% in clone W2 and Dd2 clone at a concentration of 10.3mg/mL, inhibition was 77% after 72h of exposure.

Estudo cinético e das isotermas de adsorção dos óleos de palma (Elaes guineensis, Jacq.) e andiroba (Carapa guianensis, Aubl.) em y-alumina e modelagem da dessorção com dióxido de carbono supercrítico
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013-11-08) AMARAL, Anderson Rocha; MACHADO, Nelio Teixeira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5698208558551065
In this work, the variables of the batch adsorption process of palm (Elaeis guineensis, Jacq.) and andiroba (Carapa guianensis, Aubl.) vegetables oils on thermally activated alumina at 723,15 K and 923,15 K (y-alumina) has been investigated by analyzing the influence of temperature, time, mass of vegetable oil, mass of adsorbent on the adsorbent capacity. A kinetic model of second-order was proposed to modeling the adsorption capacity of free fatty acids (FFA). Capacity results of FFA of the crude palm oil on y-alumina AG.450 at 328.15 K and of the crude andiroba oil on y-alumina AG.650 at 323.15 K were obtained from the consecutive adsorption experiments and adjusted by isotherms of Langmuir e BET. The transfer mass model of TAN & LIOU (1989) was used to modeling the kinetic desorption of the palm oil from y-alumina AG.650 and of the andiroba oil on y-alumina AG.450 with supercritical carbon dioxide, evaluating the yields, errors, correlation coefficients and the residues of the desorbed oil mass versus predicted by the model.The study of the variables influence, over the adsorption capacity, presented negative correlation (with exponential behavior) to the variable mass of oil. The adsorbent mass influence, presented a positive correlation (with a linear behavior) and the temperature increase is favorable to the adsorption process. The total reduction of the FFA after three consecutive adsorptions of the crude palm oil on y-alumina AG.450 and after four consecutive adsorptions on -alumina AG.650 with andiroba oil, were 21.07 % and 40.29 %, respectively. The modeling of the FFA capacity to the palm oil with Langmuir model, presented a high experimental data prediction ability (R² = 0.9610), as well as to the andiroba oil with the BET model, which presented a high adjustment (R² = 0.9140). Tan & Liou model evidenced high prediction capacity of the desorption oil mass from γ-alumina for all experiments, minimum correlation coefficient of 0.9230 and magnitude residues of 10-1 grams. The yields, based on adsorbate initial mass, of the palm oil desorbed from y-alumina AG.650 at 20 MPa up to 30 MPa and 323.15 K up to 328.15 K were 28.880 % up to 34.563 %, while to the andiroba oil on y-alumina AG.450 at 15 MPa up to 25 MPa at 323.15 K were 14.108 % up to 27.972 %. The yields results shows that the increase of pressure and temperature are favorable to the supercritical desorption.

Produção de biodiesel através da hidroesterificação do óleo de andiroba (Carapa guianensis, Aubl.) via Catalise Heterogenea Acida
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2011-06-30) TEIXEIRA, Evilácio Luz; SOUZA, Mariana de Mattos Vieira Mello; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8882084525542926; FRANÇA, Luiz Ferreira de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6545345391702172
The process of hidroesterification (hydrolysis followed by esterification) is constituted as an alternative to the conventional process for producing biodiesel, because it allows the use of raw materials of any content of fatty acids and moisture. Biodiesel is derived from the esterification of Andiroba oil with high content of fatty acids being used niobium oxide powder (HY-340) from Brazilian Company of Metallurgy and Mining - CBMM – as a catalyst. For the execution of experiments was used an autoclave reactor (batch). The hydrolysis reaction was conducted at 300oC, 1200 psi and molar ratio water/oil equal 20. In the esterification reactions were observed the effects of molar ratio methanol/fatty acid (1,2; 2,1 an 3,0), temperature (150, 175 and 200oC) and the concentration of catalyst (0, 10 and 20%) on conversion and initial rate of reaction. The data were conducted according to experimental design (factorial with 23 and adding 3 plants points) analyzed by the program Statistica. The conversion of esterification reaction was monitored from measurements of titrimetric acidity of aliquots removed at times of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 45 and 60 minutes. In the experiments of esterification the highest conversion obtained was 96.1% with temperature of 200 o C, 20% m / m of catalyst and molar ratio methanol / acid equal to 3.0. Eliminating the catalyst and recital the same levels for the other two analyzed variables (temperature and molar ratio), was obtained a conversion of 95.3%, however was observed a conversion rate child, taking-if an increase of 35 minutes in the time of compared with the reaction catalyzed reaction.

Production of medium-chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoate by Pseudomonas oleovorans grown in sugary cassava extract supplemented with andiroba oil
(2014-12) SILVA, Diego Aires da; ANTONIO, Regina Vasconcellos; ROSSI, José Márcio; PENA, Rosinelson da Silva
Pseudomonas oleovorans were grown on sugary cassava extracts supplemented with andiroba oil for the synthesis of a mediumchain- length polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHAMCL). The concentration of total sugars in the extract was approximately: 40 g/L in culture 1, 15 g/L in cultures 2 and 3, and 10 g/L in culture 4. Supplementation with 1% andiroba oil and 0.2 g/L of (NH4)2HPO4 was performed 6.5 hours after growth in culture 3, and supplementation with the same amount of andiroba oil and 2.4 g/L of (NH4)2HPO4 was performed at the beginning of growth in culture 4. The synthesis resulted mainly in 3-hydroxy-decanoate and 3-hydroxy-dodecanoate units; 3-hydroxy-butyrate, 3-hydroxy-hexanoate; and 3-hydroxy-octanoate monomers were also produced but in smaller proportions. P. oleovorans significantly accumulated PHAMCL in the deceleration phase of growth with an oxygen limitation but with sufficient nitrogen concentration to maintain cell growth. The sugary cassava extract supplemented with andiroba oil proved to be a potential substrate for PHAMCL production.
