1. ADDITION OF NATURAL EXTRACTS WITH ANTIOXIDANT PROPERTIES IN BIODIESEL: ANALYSIS BY NEURAL NETWORKS OF THE MULTILAYER PERCEPTRON TYPE
Biodiesel is capable of replacing diesel because it has similar physicochemical properties, but this biofuel is susceptible to oxidation, which makes the application of antioxidant substances necessary. For this study, alcoholic extracts of senna leaves, hibiscus flowers, and blackberry were used. Biodiesel samples were submitted to physicochemical analysis

2. The added value of non-contrast 3-Tesla MRI for the pre-operative localization of hyperparathyroidism
Abstract Objective: We investigated the efficacy of non-contrast 3-Tesla MR imaging added to the combination of sestamibi with99mTc (MIBI) scintigraphy and Ultrasonography (US) for the pre-operative localization of Primary Hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) lesions. Methods: A total of 34 parathyroid glands, including nine normal glands, were examined with MIBI, U

3. Comparison of the influence of low dose etomidate and propofol as priming dose on the incidence of etomidate induced myoclonus: a randomised, double-blind clinical trial
Abstract Background: Though hemodynamically stable, etomidate is known for its myoclonus side effect following induction. The main aim of this study is an effective attempt to decrease the incidence of myoclonus with a priming agent. Methods: A prospective, double-blind study was carried out on 50 adults posted for elective surgery. After premedication, pr

5. Anesthesiologists’ perception on their residency training
Abstract Background: Self-regulated professions such as medicine are characterized by professional commitment to the public they serve and require life-long development of expected skills. There is a paucity of data regarding quality of training during residency in anesthesiology. The objective of this study was to create an instrument to assess the anesthe

6. Physicochemical, sensory properties and in-vitro bioaccessibility of phenolics and antioxidant capacity of traditional noodles enriched with carob (Ceratonia siliqua L.) flour
Abstract In this study, the use of carob flour (CF) was investigated to improve the nutritional, antioxidative, and sensory properties of the noodles produced by the traditional method. In traditional noodle production, carob flour was used as a substitute to wheat flour at six different ratios (0% -control: Cmilk, Cwater, 10-40%, CF; w/w). In the noodle sam

7. Agro-Industrial Waste Valorization: Transformation of Starch from Mango Kernel into Biocompatible, Thermoresponsive and High Swelling Nanogels
Mango industry processing disposes 40-60% of this fruit as residues, such as peels and kernels. The exploration of bioproducts from these industrial rejects can reduce environmental impact besides of producing high value-added materials. In this scenario, carboxymethyl starch nanoparticles were produced from mango (Mangifera indica L.) kernel starch. These n

9. Cashew nut-based beverage: development, characteristics and stability during refrigerated storage
Abstract A cashew nut-based beverage was obtained using broken cashew kernels and its composition and stability were evaluated during refrigerated storage for 60 days. Sensory tests were performed to define the formulation, testing the best proportion between kernels and water, the effect of kernel roasting, the ideal sweetness, the beverage attributes and t

11. Agroindustry Residues as a Source for Cellulose Nanofibers Production
Our study was motivated by the large amount of crop residues produced in Brazil, which represent underutilized waste biomass and a serious threat to the environment because of the landfilling. For example, even though the corn crop is not popular in Brazil, it is produced in the area of around 18-20 million hectares with an average production of 5-6 t ha-1.

12. Bioactive Bioflavonoids from Platonia insignis (Bacuri) Residues as Added Value Compounds
Platonia insignis fruit, popularly known as bacuri, is traditionally used in folk medicine for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Therefore, this study determined the chemical composition and biological activities of the bacuri’s shell and seeds extracts, considered residues from its consumption and industrial uses. Four biflavonoids (GB-2a,
