13. Probiotic characterization of a commercial starter culture used in the fermentation of sausages
Abstract Probiotic starter culture does not only improve the safety and shelf-life of products but also extends health benefits to the consumer. This study investigated the probiotic potential of a commercial starter culture used in the fermentation of meat sausages. The starter culture tested, composed of Lactobacillus sakei, Staphylococcus xylosus, and Sta

14. PHYTOREMEDIATION OF FLUORIDE-CONTAMINATED WATER BY Landoltia punctata
ABSTRACT Fluorine is released into the water environment naturally or by anthropogenic activities. Fluorine promotes health benefits at low concentrations, but it promotes adverse effects ranging from fluorosis to carcinogenic problems at high concentrations. Although fluorine removal from environment can occur through processes such as adsorption, reverse o

15. OTIMIZAÇÃO E VALIDAÇÃO DE MÉTODO ENZIMÁTICO SEMIQUANTITATIVO SIMPLES E DE BAIXO CUSTO PARA A BUSCA DE INIBIDORES DE CISTEINO PROTEASES
Cysteine proteases are an important class of enzymes involved in several essential biological processes. For this reason, these enzymes are important therapeutic targets, and therefore can be used in enzymatic assays for the search of hits. The most widely used methods in the search of enzyme inhibitors are spectrophotometric, however they have relatively hi

16. A SIMPLE AND SENSITIVE LC-MS/MS METHOD FOR THE DETERMINATION OF S-PHENYLMERCAPTURIC ACID IN HUMAN URINE
Benzene is an important environmental and occupational pollutant, and recognized as human carcinogen. S-phenylmercapturic acid (SPMA) is a highly specific biomarker of exposure to benzene, applied in occupational toxicology to assess low levels of benzene exposure. The objective of this study was to develop and validate a one-step liquid extraction bioanalyt

17. EFEITO DO TEOR DE GLICEROL NO TRANSPORTE DE VAPOR D’ÁGUA ATRAVÉS DE FILMES DE TRIACETATO DE CELULOSE PRODUZIDOS A PARTIR DO APROVEITAMENTO DA PALHA DE MILHO (ZEA MAYS L.)
Glycerol is a plasticizer widely used due to its good plasticization efficiency, great availability, biocompatibility and low exudation. It is a renewable raw material that, when introduced in biodegradable films, promotes significant changes in its properties and, thus, guarantees a wide spectrum of application. In this work, corn straw was used to produce

18. Photoluminescent Investigation of the Doping Site of Eu3+-Doped [Zn3(BTC)2·12H2O] Metal-Organic Framework Prepared by Microwave-Assisted Hydrothermal Synthesis
The [Zn3(BTC)2·12H2O] (BTC = 1,3,5-tricarboxylate) metal-organic framework (MOF) was successfully synthesized using a microwave-assisted hydrothermal synthesis technique, which allowed for significantly decreased reaction time compared to the production of the same compound via conventional heating. In situ doping with Eu3+ ions at concentrations ranging fr

19. Blue-Emitting MWO4:Tm3+ (M: Sr, Ba) Phosphors Prepared by Coprecipitation Method at Room Temperature
MWO4 host matrices (M: Sr, Ba) doped with different Tm3+ concentrations (0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08 and 0.10 mol%) have been successfully prepared by the coprecipitation method at room temperature. The as-prepared nanophosphors were characterized by infrared spectroscopy showing intense absorption bands in the range of 700-1000 cm-1 attributed to the symmetrical

20. A Simple Approach to Analyze Sugar Nectar Composition in Flowers Using Capillary Electrophoresis and Enzymatic Assays
Despite the obvious importance of nectar, the composition of this solution remains surprisingly understudied to most of the flowers. Here we describe a simple, low-cost, and reliable methodology to analyze the three main sugars present in 210 nectar samples of Christmas Bellflowers using capillary electrophoresis (CE) and enzymatic assays. CE separation (-16

21. Can diabetes mellitus modify the plasma concentrations of rifampicin in patients under treatment for tuberculosis?
Abstract Rifampicin is a key component of treatment for tuberculosis and its efficacy is determined by the blood levels attained after therapeutic doses. However, there is a high variability of rifampicin blood levels that is related to both the patient and the formulation used. To date, the effect of diabetes mellitus on the plasma levels of rifampicin was

22. Subjective time under altered states of consciousness in ayahuasca users in shamanistic rituals involving music
Ayahuasca is described as a hallucinogenic substance whose property is to alter the subjective experience of time and impair the perception of the passage of time during stimuli of more than two to three seconds. The dose-dependent effects of two concentrations of ayahuasca in the ritualistic context were investigated employing temporal reproduction tasks in

23. Two Years Monitoring of Ethyl Carbamate in Sugar Cane Spirit from Brazilian Distilleries
This paper describes the monitoring of ethyl carbamate concentration in sugar cane spirit from industrial distilleries in Brazil. In total, 18 distilleries from Minas Gerais and São Paulo states were evaluated, with, a total of 336 samples from August 2017 to August 2019. The ethyl carbamate was analyzed using a previously validated mass spectrometric metho
