Adsorption capacity of phenolic compounds onto cellulose and xylan
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2015-06) COSTA, Telma dos Santos; ROGEZ, Hervé Louis Ghislain; PENA, Rosinelson da Silva
The interaction between three phenolic compounds (catechin, caffeic acid and ferulic acid) onto two dietary fibres (cellulose and xylan) has been evaluated to inquire possible interferences on the biodisponibility of phenolic compounds. The adsorption kinetics were performed using solutions containing 100 mg/L of phenolic compounds during a contact time ranging between 10 and 120 minutes at pH 2.0, 4.5, and 7.0. After the kinetics, isotherms were obtained using phenolic compounds concentration ranging between 10 and 80 mg/L during 60 minutes, at pH 2.0 and 7.0 and temperature of 36 °C. Results indicate that adsorbed quantities mainly changed in function of pH, however the maximum adsorption was only of 0.978 mg of caffeic acid/g of xylan at pH 2 and after 60 min. Redlich-Peterson model were able to predict the adsorption isotherms of all phenolic compounds onto cellulose, except for caffeic acid at pH 7.0. The low adsorption capacities observed suggest that both dietary fibres are unable to compromise the biodisponibility of phenolic compounds, especially in the small intestine, where they are partially absorbed.

This work, it was proposed to evaluate mixtures of commercial enzymes by supplier Novozymes A / S. The enzymes used in this work were: celulase complex, xylanase, β-glucosidase, enzymático complex, xylanase and β-glucanase and glucoamylase in the glucose production from sugarcane bagasse subjected to treatment with alkali hydroxide solution sodium at room temperature, 70 ° C, 90 ° C and 120 ° C. The BCA yield on a dry basis after treatment with NaOH solution 6 (w / v) were 30.64% ± 1.395 (PACTA), 44.00% ± 1.787 (PAC70), 65.91% ± 1.096 (PAC90), and 95.25% ± 1.461 (CAP 120), respectively. The ash content for the BCA were 2.05% ± 0.027 (PACTA), 0.62% ± 0.013 (PAC70), 0.48% ± 0.007 (PAC90) and 0.18% ± 0.008 (PAC120). The lignin contents were 20.67 ± 0.603 (PACTA), 13.03 ± 0.711 (PAC70), 6.05 ± 0.196 (PAC90) and 5.49 ± 0.151 (PAC120). The results suggest that the conversion rates of cellulosic waste into glucose are strongly dependent on temperature in the alkaline pulping process. The kinetic parameters obtained in kinetic adjustments enzymatic hydrolysis of the BCA for PACTA, PAC70, PAC90 and PAC120 were: Vmax (g/h) equal to 7.20; 5.12; 4.54 and 0.87 respectively; Km (g) equal to 3.6; 2.56; 2.27 and 2.56 respectively; Kcat (h) equal to 1.44; 1.02; 0.91 and 0.17 respectively; Km/Vmax equal to 0.5 for all samples and Kcat/Km of 0.4 for all samples.

Síntese e caracterização de cerâmicas bifásicas de fosfatos de cálcio (HA / β-TCP) a partir de nanocelulose do tegumento do açaí (Euterpe oleracea Mart.)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2018-10-31) VALENTIM, Rachel Margalho Barreira; DIAS, Carmen Gilda Barroso Tavares; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2113791118142177; REIS, Marcos Allan Leite dos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8252507933374637
The remnants of the açaí agribusiness (Euterpe Oleracea Mart) are sources of lignocellulosic materials. The extraction of nanocellulose from the açaí integument constitutes viable raw material for the synthesis of biphasic ceramics (HA / β-TCP) by acid hydrolysis. After the fruit pulp is obtained a biomass that is divided into three fractions: sludge (parenchyma), fiber (monostelo) and endocarp. The integument is analyzed by MEV / EDS, through the endocarp of açaí of terra firme and of várzea presenting essential nutrients, to obtain ceramics of phosphates of calcium. The biocomposite (NC / HA / β-TCP) was characterized by MEV, presenting crystalline species on the surface of the nanocellulose; X-ray diffraction presenting HA nucleation attributed to type I cellulose and tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) on the surface of cellulose type II; showing the growth of HA crystals on the surface of the nanocellulose. The FTIR analysis showed characteristic peaks of PO4-3, C1-H glycosidic deformation at 897 cm -1 attributed to cellulose, strong C-C conjugate binding at 1609 cm -1 attributed to lignin showing a decrease in content during the process. The results of particle size are in the nanometric dimension showing 643.50 nm as the most common value related to the results of the zeta potential presenting unstable particles producing particles aggregation and stable particles with modulus value greater than 20 mV. Due to the characteristics presented by the biphasic ceramic synthesized in this work it is suggested its application as biomaterial.
