The food irradiation process has been used since the early twentieth century and is technologically established as an important conservation method by eliminating or reducing pathogenic microorganisms, ensuring food quality and safety. The aim of this research was to verify the effect of a gamma irradiation process (Co60) and identify the presence of Campylobacter spp. in chilled chicken hearts, sold in an industry under sanitary inspection, located in the West Zone of Rio de Janeiro/RJ. The hearts of 50 chickens were collected randomly and separated into two groups, one contaminated (CAMPY) on purpose with the intention of observing the efficiency of the gamma irradiation (Co 60 ) process in the control of Campylobacter spp., and the other group (NC) naturally derived from the industrial plant. The two groups (contaminated and uncontaminated) were divided into four subgroups, CONTROL samples (non-irradiated), and samples submitted to 1.5 kGy, 3.0 kGy and 4.5 kGy doses, all samples were kept under refrigeration. At the end of the study, the presence of Campylobacter spp. was observed in samples derived from the industry, while the irradiation process was efficient in the control of Campylobacter spp. at 1.5 kGy, 3.0 kGy and 4.5 kGy.

This study investigated the micro and macro-morphology of Aspergillus parasiticus , CMT 00064, inoculated into peanut kernels, after gamma irradiation with Cs137. Plates containing kernels inoculated with the fungal strain were incubated in a BOD germination chamber at 25 o C for 5 days. These plates were irradiated at the dose rate of 1.6 kGy/min on the sixth day of incubation. The absorbed doses were: 0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 7.5 and 8.0 kGy. The observed inactivation doses ranged from 4.5 to 8.0 kGy between days 1, 7 and 15 after irradiation. Fungus growth was observed 15 days after irradiation in the plates irradiated between 0 and 7.5 kGy demonstrating that the dose of 8.0 kGy could eliminate the fungus. Subcultures in nutrient media of isolates irradiated at 7.5 kGy recovered its growth in 15 days. Kernels irradiated with 6.5 kGy grew without metula indicating elimination. Colonies that grown after irradiation up 6.0 kGy were biseriate. However, after irradiation with 6.5 kGy they were uniseriate. The survival rates of A. parasiticus , in irradiated substrate peanuts, decreases with increasing absorbing doses of ionizing radiation.

Although some studies on cover crops in grain production areas have been developed in recent years, information on cover crops in succession to corn silage are still scarce. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of different cover crops on the accumulation of nutrients and dry mass yield (DM) in shoots of corn plants in silage production area in the central region of Minas Gerais. The experiment was carried out in two different harvests: 2012/2013 and 2013/2014, which eigth treatments were used consisted of six cover species (turnip, millet, B. ruzziziensis, B. decumbens, crotalaria and sunflower), in addition to a treatment comprising the mixture of millet and crotalaria species and fallow area representing control treatment. The experiment was conducted in a randomized block design with four replications. In the two years of cultivation, the total quantities of nutrients accumulated in the shoots of corn plants did not vary with cover crops, except for the amount of Fe. In two crops, DM yield of corn shoots did not vary according to the different cover crops. The absence of response in corn yield was attributed to lack of adequate moisture for growing corn due to dry spells during harvests.

In Brazil, with the constant use of concentrated NPK fertilizers, sulfur became a limiting nutrient for corn plant growth and development. This research aimed to evaluate the efficiency of elemental sulfur coating the granule of fertilizer, compared with the sulfur of ammonium sulfate associated to soluble fertilizers based on NPK. The hybrid-corn DKB390 was evaluated under a completely randomized design in a factorial scheme 3x6 (three fertilizers × six phenological stages) with three replications. A soil under corn monoculture was used. Three types of formulated fertilizers (NPK) associated with sulfur (ammonium sulfate or elemental sulfur) and the control without S was used. The accumulation of the shoots and root dry matter, chlorophyll and sulfur in leafs were evaluated. The data were collected at stages: 6 leafs, 10 leafs, 14 leafs, tasselling, flowering and physiological maturity. The used fertilizers provided differences in the shoot dry matter and in the sulfur accumulation in leafs. The sulfur accumulation in corn leafs was similar among the elemental sulfur and the ammonium sulfate treatments. Elemental sulfur provided superior results in comparison to the fertilizer without sulfur and was similar to the fertilizer with ammonium sulfate.

Our study aimed to evaluate technological aspects of lactic acid bacteria isolated from artisan coalho cheese, for obtaining a new starter culture. For this purpose, different bacterial genera were isolated, identified and determined as their acidifying capacity (pH and lactic acid), antagonist activity and proteolytic activity. The results showed that the bacterial population consisted mostly of cocci, among which are Lactococcus, Leuconostoc , Enterococcus and Streptococcus , in addition to Lactobacillus in an approximate ratio of 1:3.5:13:2:1.5, respectively. The microorganisms were classified as fast and slow acidifying, an important balance to the formulation of a new starter culture. Regarding the proteolytic capacity, the qualitative test for protease production showed only few halos, although all extracellular extracts have presented proteolytic enzymes with peaks of production(maximum of 11.71 U/mL)between 24 and 48 hours of cultivation. Around 42.2% of the analyzed bacteria showed antagonistic activity against Escherichia coli , Klebsiella pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus . Therefore, it is possible to assume that the lactic acid bacteria isolated from artisan Coalho cheese have great potential for the use in dairy industry as starter cultures.

Soybean grains have a high protein content, which can vary depending on various factors, as the pods' position throughout the plant. In this sense, aiming to study the effect of pods' position on the main stem of the plant for grades of soybean proteins, It has been accomplished in the years 2010 and 2011, a trial with ten soybean cultivars in the experimental area of the Federal University of Tocantins in Palmas. The experimental area was randomized blocks with 30 treatments and three replications. Treatments were arranged in one a split plot, being allocated in Ten cultivars plots (BRS Valuable, P98Y51, P98Y70, P99R03, M8527RR, M8925RR, M9144RR, M8867RR, and TMG103RR), and the sub plots In the pods' position on the plant (upper third, intermediate, and basal third). According to the results, we can conclude that there is variability among the pods' position. The grains located in the median and apical plant showed a trend of higher protein content. Cultivar P98Y70 showed the highest protein value. In the sampling grain for protein quantitation, it is recommended to use grains of pods located at the same position of the plant.

Treatments were arranged in one a split plot, being allocated in Ten cultivars plots (BRS Valuable, P98Y51, P98Y70, P99R03, M8527RR, M8925RR, M9144RR, M8867RR, and TMG103RR), and the sub plots In the pods' position on the plant (upper third, intermediate, and basal third). According to the results, we can conclude that there is variability among the pods' position. The grains located in the median and apical plant showed a trend of higher protein content. Cultivar P98Y70 showed the highest protein value. In the sampling grain for protein quantitation, it is recommended to use grains of pods located at the same position of the plant.","PeriodicalId":119762,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bioenergy and Food Science","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117257928","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to search for alternative biomasses, that are easy to access, low cost and high in cellulose concentration, for the production of 2nd generation ethanol - or lignocellulosic - this study was carried out with Pennisetum purpureum, known as elephant grass. The study was conducted to determine the chemical composition of elephant grass forage to evaluate its use in the production of lignocellulosic ethanol. The elephant grass stems were reaped in the experimental area of Feira Agrotecnologica de Palmas (AGROTINS) on august 2015. The results have shown that the elephant grass presented approximately 60% cellulose, demonstrating the potential use of this biomass to obtain reducing sugars. The biomass underwent chemical pretreatment before the enzymatic hydrolysis step using commercial cellulase enzyme Cellic CTEC2. After hydrolysis, gave a 54% yield of reducing sugars, which has shown a yield of 53,9% in the hydrolysis. In addition, the yield for ethanol production was 87,8%. Due to this, it is possible to assure that the elephant grass biomass has a great potential as cellulose source, therefore it can be used as an alternative that is cheap and huge in availability to the production of lignocellulosic ethanol.
