Item Avaliação de bis(4-metilfenilditiocarbimato)zincato(II) de tetrabutilamônio como acelerador em composições de borracha natural(Polímeros, 2008) Mariano, Roberta M.; Visconte, Leila L. Y.; Oliveira, Marcelo R. L.; Rubinger, Mayura M. M.Neste trabalho a substância ZNIBU [bis(4-metilfenilditiocarbimato)zincato(II) de tetrabutilamônio] foi usada em formulações de borracha natural (NR) e o seu efeito como acelerador de vulcanização foi investigado. As composições, vulcanizadas com a substância em questão, foram submetidas a testes mecânicos e os resultados comparados com os de outras composições vulcanizadas com os aceleradores comerciais CBS (N-ciclohexil-2-benzotiazol-2-sulfenamida), TMTD (dissulfeto de tetrametiltiuram) e MBTS (dissulfeto de benzotiazol). Propriedades como dureza, resiliência e densidade foram avaliadas em presença ou não da carga negro de fumo.Item Fotocatálise heterogênea com TiO2 para oxidação de arsênio e sua remoção de águas por coprecipitação com sulfato férrico(Química Nova, 2009) Mendes, Gisele; Bellato, Carlos Roberto; Marques Neto, José de OliveiraThe oxidation of arsenic (As(III) to As(V)) in water samples was performed by heterogeneous photocatalysis using a TiO2 film immobilized inside a photochemical reactor. After oxidation, As(V) was removed from the water samples by coprecipitation with ferric sulfate. The final conditions of oxidation and arsenic removal (TiO2 film prepared with a suspension: 10% (w/v); pH: 7.0; oxidation time: 30 min and Fe3+ concentration: 50 mg L-1) were applied in natural water samples which were supplemented with 1.0 mg L-1 of As(III) to verify the influence of the matrix. After treatment, more than 99% of arsenic was removed from the water.Item Determinação da relação siringila/guaiacila da lignina em madeiras de eucalipto por pirólise acoplada à cromatografia gasosa e espectrometria de massas ( PI - CG/ EM)(Química Nova, 2008) Barbosa, Luiz C. A.; Maltha, Célia R. A.; Silva, Vanessa Lopes; Colodette, Jorge LuizThe use of analytical pyrolysis combined with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) to determine the syringyl/guaiacyl ratio (S/G) in lignins from Eucalyptus spp woods was investigated. Sample of E. grandis and "E. urograndis" wood, with and without extractives, were subjected to pyrolysis from 300 ºC to 600 ºC. The products that results from pyrolysis were identified by mass spectrometry and the S/G ratio was determined based on the areas of the peaks corresponding to the guaiacyl and syringyl derivatives. The best S/G estimation is achieved when pyrolysis is carried out at 550 ºC. Extractives and carbohydrate present in the woods do not interfere with the results.Item Atividade antiinflamatória de carboidrato produzido por fermentação aquosa de grãos de quefir(Química Nova, 2008) Moreira, Maria E. C.; Santos, Marcelo H.; Pereira, Ivan O.; Ferraz, Vany; Barbosa, Luiz C. A.; Schneedorf, José M.Kefir, a symbiont microorganism suspension, presents benefic effects to health. Some kefir grains were cultivated in brown sugar, allowing to isolate a substance named CSQ. This was evaluated on a biologic essay of mouse foot edema, presenting an inhibitory activity of 30+4 % against carrageenan after the stimulus. It was observed that a cultivation mean containing sucrose, and not the milky mean, lead to the production of different sugar polymeric chains of kefir. The results in vivo suggest that the CSQ exerted an anti-inflammatory activity.Item Borracha natural e nanocompósitos com argila(Química Nova, 2009) Rippel, Márcia Maria; Bragança, Fábio do CarmoThe natural rubber is a strategic material which can not be replaced by synthetic rubber in many technological applications. Brazil is a rubber importer, but new techniques of cultivation, breeding and diversification of producing species can reverse this situation. One of the best ways to add value to this commodity is nanotechnology. The production of nanocomposites is already a reality and shows that the sustainable use of this natural resource can lead to new products and boost the national agribusiness setting labor-qualified in the field.Item Síntese e avaliação da atividade fitotóxica de derivados da α-Santonina(Química Nova, 2009) Alvarenga, Elson S.; Barbosa, Luiz C. A.; Saliba, William A.; Arantes, Francisco F. P.; Demuner, Antônio J.; Silva, Antônio A.Mixtures of α-Santonin and various solvents were irradiated by either high or low pressure mercury lamps. The photochemical reactions afforded lumisantonin (11) (76% in acetonitrile), (3S,3aS,9bS)-3,6,6-trimethyl-3,3a,4,5-tetrahydronafto[1,2-b]furan-2,7(6H,9bH)dione (12) (100% in acetonitrile), 10α-acetoxy-3-oxo-1,7αH,6,11βH-guaia-4-en-6,12-olide (8) (26% in acetic acid), 10α-hydroxy-3-oxo-1,7αH,6,11βH-guaia-4-en-6,12-olide (10) (32%) and (E)-3-((3S,3aS,7aS)-3-methyl-2-oxo-6-(propan-2-ylidene)hexahydrobenzofuran-7-(7aH)-ylidene)propanoic acid (9) (44%) (in water/ acetic acid 1:1, v/v). Lactone 12 was also prepared by irradiation of lumisantonin in diethyl ether. Lactones 8 and 10 were converted, respectively, into the 10α-acetoxy-3β-hydroxy-1,7αH,6,11βH-guaia-4-en-6,12-olide (13) (87%) and 3β,10α-dihydroxy-1,7αH,6,11βH-guaia-4-en-6,12-olide (14) (75%) by sodium borohydride reduction. The effects of the compounds on the development of radicle of Sorghum bicolor and Cucumis sativus were evaluated.Item Triacylglycerol molecular species variation in stored coffee beans determined by reverse-high-performance liquid chromatography/refractive index detector(Journal of Stored Products Research, 2008) Jham, Gulab N.; Muller, Helcio Vidigal; Cecon, PauloSamples of three types of coffee beans (immature, random mixture and cherry) were each divided into roughly two halves and dried by two widely known procedures (conventional dryer and open air cement floor patio) to attain about 14% moisture. All samples were stored on wood shelves without temperature or moisture control. After 4, 7, 10, 13, 16 and 19 months, portions of all samples were withdrawn and the relative percentages of the nine triacylglycerol (TAG) molecular species determined by reverse-high-performance liquid chromatography with a refractive index detector. The experiment consisted of 36 treatments (combinations of bean types, drying procedures and storage times) in a randomized block design with three repetitions. Nine TAG molecular species were identified in all the coffee samples. While apparently random variation was observed in TAG composition in a few cases, no significant effects of storage time, storage type or coffee type on TAG composition were observed.Item Investigation on the esterification of fatty acids catalyzed by the H3PW12O40 heteropolyacid(Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, 2008-03-26) Cardoso, Abiney L.; Augusti, Rodinei; Silva, Márcio J. DaIn this work, the H3PW12O40 heteropolyacid (HPW) was employed as a homogeneous catalyst to promote the efficient esterification (ethanolysis) of a number of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids (myristic, palmitic, stearic, oleic, and linoleic) under mild reaction conditions. HPW showed a similar activity to those observed for p-toluene sulfonic acid (PTSA) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4), the other acidic catalysts we compared them with in this study. In the HPW-catalyzed esterification of stearic acid, the addition of water caused a remarkable decrease in the ethyl stearate yields. On the other hand, the increase in the HPW concentration (up to a maximum value) promoted a proportional improvement in the oleic acid to ethyl oleate conversion. Kinetic measurements using oleic acid as a prototype substrate revealed that the esterification reactions catalyzed by HPW, H2SO4, and PTSA are of first-order in relation to the fatty acid concentration. Finally, the catalytic activity of HPW remained unaltered even after several recovery/reutilization cycles whereas the tungsten content in the final product (biodiesel produced by the HPW-catalyzed esterification of oleic acid) was found to be at an acceptably low level (0.0095 mg of W per g of biodiesel).Item Mapping of quantitative trait loci for butter content and hardness in cocoa beans (Theobroma Cacao L.)(Plant Molecular Biology Reporter, 2009-06) Queiroz, Vagner T. de; Araújo, Ioná S.; Souza Filho, Gonçalo A. de; Pereira, Messias G.; Faleiro, Fábio G.; Guimarães, Cláudia T.; Moreira, Maurílio A.; Barros, Everaldo G. de; Machado, Regina C. R.; Pires, José L.; Schenell, Raymond; Lopes, Uilson V.Cocoa butter is an important raw material for the chocolate, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. The butter content and quality in cocoa beans are genetically controlled characteristics, and affect its commercial value and industrial applicability. In the present work, an F2 population derived from the cross between the ICS-1 and Scavina-6 cocoa clones was used for molecular mapping. A linkage map was constructed based on amplified fragment length polymorphism, random amplified polymorphic DNA, and simple sequence repeat markers, resulting in a total of 273 markers, distributed in 14 linkage groups (LGs). Phenotyping of butter content was performed after ether extraction and butter hardness was determined by sweeping differential calorimetry. One quantitative trait locus (QTL) associated to butter content was mapped at linkage group 9 (LG9) and two QTLs for butter hardness were identified at linkage groups 9 and 7 (LG9 and LG7). The two QTLs mapped at the LG9 explained 51.0% and 28.8% of the phenotypic variation for butter content and hardness, respectively. These QTLs were concentrated in the same map region, suggesting a close genetic linkage or pleiotropic effect. The QTLs identified may be useful in further marker-assisted selection breeding programs aimed at cocoa butter quality improvement.Item Syntheses, crystal structure, spectroscopic characterization and antifungal activity of new N-R-sulfonyldithiocarbimate metal complexes(Journal of Inorganic Biochemistry, 2009-07) Alves, Leandro C.; Rubinger, Mayura M. M.; Lindemann, Renata H.; Perpétuo, Genivaldo Júlio; Janczak, Jan; Miranda, Liany D. L.; Zambolim, Laércio; Oliveira, Marcelo R. L.Five new compounds with the general formula of (Bu4N)2[M(RSO2NCS2)2], where Bu4N = tetrabutylammonium cation, (M = Ni, R = 4-FC6H4) (1), (M = Zn, R = 4-FC6H4, 4-ClC6H4, 4-BrC6H4, 4-IC6H4), (2), (3), (4) and (5), respectively, were obtained by the reaction of the appropriate potassium N-R-sulfonyldithiocarbimate (RSO2NCS2K2) with nickel(II) chloride hexahydrate or zinc(II) acetate dihydrate in metanol:water 1:1. The elemental analyses and the IR data are consistent with the formation of the expected bis(dithiocarbimato)metal(II) complexes. The 1H and 13C NMR spectra showed the signals for the tetrabutylammonium cation and the dithiocarbimate moieties. The compounds 1, 2 and 5 were also characterized by X-ray diffraction techniques. The nickel(II) is coordinated by two N-4-fluorophenylsulphonyldithiocarbimato(2-) ligands forming a planar coordination. The zinc(II) exhibits distorted tetrahedral configuration in compounds 2 and 5 due to the chelation effect of two sulfur atoms of the N-R-sulfonyldithiocarbimate ligands. The antifungal activities of the compounds were tested in vitro against Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, an important fungus that causes the plant disease known as anthracnose in fruit trees. All the complexes were active.
