The objective of this work was to prepare a hydrosoluble base extract of baru nut and to evaluate the physical and chemical stability, as well as the content of bioactive compounds. Three formulations with different proportions of baru:mineral water were prepared: 1:6, 1:8 and 1:10. Baru almonds were purchased from the local market in Rio Verde, GO, Brazil. The extracts were prepared with water, centrifuged, pasteurized, packaged and refrigerated at 5ºC. The pH, titratable acidity, colour parameters, antioxidant activity and total phenolic content of all formulations. Satisfactory levels of the bioactive compounds were found in all the proposed formulations of water soluble extract of baru. The 1:6 formulation presented minor changes throughout the ten days of storage. The processing used in this study was useful for obtaining the water soluble extract of baru.

Dipteryx Alata

Despite the nutritional and functional qualities of Pará nut  (Bertholletia excelsa) and of Baru nut (Dipteryx alata Vogel), the industrial exploitation of these two nuts is still scarce. With this, the elaboration of a water-soluble extract based on Pará and Baru nuts could be consider an alternative for the consumption of foods based on these vegetables, both little used industrially. Thus, by way of a simplex centroid experimental mixture design, this study aimed to elaborate water-soluble vegetable extracts based on Pará and Baru nuts. This study allowed evaluate the behavior of the physicochemical and physical characteristics of the processed vegetable extracts. The special cubic model obtained the best fit for the response variables, both for the physicochemical characterizations of moisture, lipid, protein, ash, carbohydrate, pH value and acidity, and for the physical characteristics of luminosity, chroma and hue angle. The results obtained showed that the model is highly predictive (all R2 > 97%). The water content directly influenced the nutritional aspects of the water-soluble extracts, where a decrease in the proportion of water in the mixture provided greater content of proximate composition. The behavior of the color parameter predicted by the model showed that variations in the proportions of the nuts concentrations changes the behavior of the luminosity indexes. The pH had higher values when there was an increase in the concentration of Pará nuts, while an increase in the proportion of baru nuts decreased the acidity of the water-soluble extract.   The mathematical models used allow to evaluate the effects of the interactions between variables and responses, highlighting their applicability in the food industry.

Water Soluble Extract

We isolated a water-soluble extract, PG101, from cultured mycelia of Lentinus lepideus. Treatment of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) with PG101 increased levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-10, and IL-12 by 100- to 1000-fold, whereas GM-CSF and IL-18 were activated by an order of magnitude. On the contrary, IFN-γ and IL-4 were not affected. The response to PG101 occurred in a dose- and time-dependent manner. From the human PBMCs treated with PG101, TNF-α was a first cytokine to be activated, detectable at 2 hr post-treatment followed by IL-1β at 6 hr post-treatment. IL-12 and IL-10 were the next to follow. GM-CSF and IL-18 both showed significant increases 24 hr after treatment. When PBMCs were sorted into various cell types, monocyte/macrophages, but not T and B cells, were the major target cell type responsive to PG101. Consistent with this result, the profile of cytokine expression upon PG101 treatment was comparable between PBMCs and a human promonocytic cell line (U937), whereas cell lines of T cell and myeloid origins did not respond to PG101. Data from a transient transfection assay involving specific reporter plasmids indicated that cellular transcription factor such as NF-κB, but not AP-1, was highly activated by PG101. Results from a gel retardation assay and the experiment involving a specific NF-κB inhibitor confirmed the involvement of NF-κB. Despite its significant biological effect on various cytokines, PG101 remained nontoxic in both rats and PBMCs even at a biological concentration approximately 20 times greater. PG101 demonstrates great potential as a therapeutic immune modulator.

<p>Considering the need for new products to meet the portion of the population with lactase enzyme deficiency, the study processed and characterized the physical, physical-chemical and sensory parameters of a dulce de leche made with soy-based extract. The research was developed at the Food Engineering Laboratory of the Federal University of Campina Grande. The soybean milk used in the preparation of the product was the UHT type and pasteurized cow’s milk, both purchased commercially from the city of Campina Grande, PB. Three sweet formulations were prepared: the first one containing 100% whole bovine milk; the second one with 100% water-soluble soy extract and the last one with 50% water-soluble soy extract and 50% whole milk. There were significant differences in all physicochemical analyses, except for the ash one. Regarding the addition of the soybean water-soluble extract in the dulce de leche, this procedure altered the traditional flavor, resulting in less acceptance of the product and 90% of the judges declared that they would not buy that. Through the instrumental analyses, it was verified that the addition of water-soluble soybean extract changed statistically (p &lt;0.05) the characteristics of color and texture</p>
