25. Low-dose ketamine does not improve the speed of recovery from depression in electroconvulsive therapy: a randomized controlled trial
Objective: Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a well-established therapeutic intervention for major depressive disorder. Recent literature has shown that the anesthetic agent ketamine has some antidepressant properties at low doses and may be an alternative therapy for treatment-resistant major depressive disorder. We hypothesized that the use of low-dose ke

26. Osmotic dehydration kinetics of fresh and frozen blueberries considering volume shrinkage in a novel ternary solution
Abstract Osmotic dehydration is a nonthermal processing technology, that is limited in blueberries because of the osmotic agent, temperature and efficiency. This study was to prepare a novel ternary solution considering low-sugar, low-salt and low-viscosity requirements and to dehydrate blueberries at 20 °C. The mass transfer kinetics of fresh and frozen bl

27. Ricotta whey supplemented with gelatin and collagen for the encapsulation of probiotic lactic acid bacteria
Abstract The aim of the present study was to evaluate the viability of probiotic bacteria Lactobacillus acidophilus (LA-5)® and Bifidobacterium lactis (BB-12)® encapsulation using spray drying (SD) with ricotta whey supplemented with gelatin and hydrolyzed collagen as encapsulating material. Following previous experiments, these gelatin:collagen ratios wer

28. High-barrier and antibacterial films based on PET/SiOx for food packaging applications
Abstract High-barrier and antibacterial materials have potential applications in the field of preservative packaging for fresh meat products. In this paper, UV irradiation and silane coupling agent (KH550) were used to modify the surface of SiOx coating on polyester (PET)/SiOx film to prepare the PET/SiOx/chitosan and PET/SiOx/chitosan-nano-ZnO composite fil

29. A Comparison of the Photolytic and Photocatalytic Degradation of Triclosan: Identification of Transformation Products and Ecotoxicity Evaluation
Triclosan (5-chloro-2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)phenol) is commonly used as an antibacterial agent in various industrial products and is often detected in wastewater effluent. Comparison was made for triclosan degradation by photolysis and TiO2 photocatalysis (under UV irradiation (125 W)) based on analysis of transformation products, together with ecotoxicity ev

30. Quercetin as a nephroprotector after warm ischemia: histomorphometric evaluation in a rodent model
ABSTRACT Purpose: To quantitatively evaluate the possible long-term protective effects of quercetin during renal warm ischemia. Materials and Methods: Male rats were allocated into 4 groups: sham (S), sham quercetin (SQ), ischemia (I), and ischemia quercetin (IQ). Groups SQ and IQ received quercetin (50mg/kg) before and after surgery. Groups I and IQ had t

32. Gold Nanorods Capped with Different Ammonium Bromide Salts on the Catalytic Chemical Reduction of p-Nitrophenol
It is known that the reactivity of the nanocatalytic systems is related to the particle size and shape and also to the features of the capping agents on the nanostructures. In this study, gold nanorods (AuNRs) were synthesized by the seed-mediated method using different tetra-alkylammonium bromide salts as capping agents, that are, cetyltrimethylammonium (CT

33. Determination of carrageenan in jellies with new methylene blue dye using spectrophotometry, smartphone-based colorimetry and spectrophotometric titration
Abstract Carrageenan is a seaweed polysaccharide widely used as a food gelling and thickening agent. The New Methylene Blue dye was tested as an analytical reagent for the quantification of carrageenan in commercial jelly samples. The main spectral peaks of the dye decrease with increasing carrageenan-to-dye molar ratio up to 1. Three analytical procedures w

34. Purification of raw palygorskite: a comparative study involving different processes and dispersing agents
Abstract Palygorskite (Pal) is a natural clay mineral with fibrous morphology and high surface area. Depending on the geological origin, it presents impurities, such as quartz and carbonates, which can harm some of its properties. Therefore, this work seeks to define a viable methodology for the purification of a Brazilian Pal. Two types of mixing processes

35. Effect of pH level and calcination on the production of calcium phosphates by acidic route of wet precipitation
Abstract Multiphasic calcium phosphate powders were synthesized by the acidic route, using lactic acid as a chelating agent that allows the production of a stable and rich solution of calcium and phosphate ions at room temperature. After pH adjusting, without varying the concentrations of precursor solution, XRD and FTIR analyses showed different CaP phases

36. Evaluation of the properties of a foamed geopolymer developed with different types of metakaolin
Abstract The physical and mechanical properties of foamed geopolymers were determined. The geopolymers were made with two different metakaolins (from Metacaulim do Brasil - MB, and Pantano Grande/RS - MPG) as precursors, with NaOH and Na2SiO3 as activators, and with the addition of foam, which was produced with the foaming agent diethanolamide of coconut fat
