Due to the significant increase in consumption of fruits and their derivatives, it is necessary to invest in operations aimed at their use, minimizing the pre and post-harvest losses, due to its high perishability. The fruit processing pulp is a widely used technique because much of the population seeking convenience and a healthier diet, in addition to increase the product shelf life and can provide it to distant regions and periods off season. This study evaluated physicochemical and microbiological characteristics, in three consecutive months, 17 flavors of fruit pulp of a manufacturing company in order to use the final product control as a means to identify control gaps present in the acquisition of raw materials as well as during processing steps and packaging. It was noticed that about 60% of all pulps were unfit for human consumption, with the highest percentage in the physicochemical analysis (45%), followed by microbiological (30%). In the microbiological characteristics, the large amount of molds and yeasts suggest failure through cleaning and sanitizing fruits and in the processing area. For the physicochemical analysis, pH and total soluble solids content were the most alarming, verifying the possibility of water adittion (illegal) and acidulant excess, which causes the pulp loses its fruit identity. The most problematic fruits were pineapple, prune, caja, cashew, graviola, guava and passion fruit. The control of the final product proved essential to the company's quality assurance.

This objective of this study was to develop and characterized films based on collagen and analyze the effects of concentrations of clay, plasticizer and essential oil on its characteristics. The solutions were prepared according to an experimental design of 2³ with 3 central points. The films were produced by the "casting" technique, which consists on surface drying, and were characterized by the color, opacity, tensile strength, solubility, water vapor permeability and thickness. Lightness values ranged between 66.76 and 96.03, the brightness decreased with increasing the concentrations of clay, oil and glycerol. The opacity values showed an increase with the addition of glycerol, ranging from 1.96 to 44.24%. The values of tensile strength ranged from 5 to 14 MPa, and the solubility values, from 2.14 to 7.97%. In the 5% level, solubility and tensile strength analyzes were not significant. The water vapor permeability (WVP) ranged from 0.77 to 2.51 (g.mm/KPa.m 2 .d). The most influent factors on the permeability to water vapor in the films are the glycerol and essential oil concentrations, which increases the permeability as these variables increase. In relation to the thickness, the concentration of montmorillonite clay interfered in the range from 0.02 to 0.04mm, and as higher its concentration, greater the thickness. It was concluded that the collagen films obtained good mechanical properties, adequate visual appearance, easy handing and low permeability to water vapor and low water solubility. The essential oil was effective in the structure of the film, since that it improves the look and easier handling.

The galls are characterized by an abnormal growth of tissues in response to galling specific stimuli. In this paper we described six gall morphotypes in Caryocar brasiliense (Caryocaraceae) present in individuals located on the campuses of Araguaina and Palmas, Federal University of Tocantins. All materials were analyzed using stereoscopic microscope and specific bibliography. In Araguaina, it was observed on the adaxial side of the leaflets, green-colored spherical morphotypes with purple apex and green-colored polypoid with brown patches and red apex. Green-colored globoid type galls with brown patches were observed on both surfaces. On the petiole, beige globoid galls were described. The aforementioned morphotypes are closed, hairless, had grouped occurrence and a single larval chamber with only one larvae per locule, except for the globoid leaf gall that presented cream trichomes and the globoid morphotype, located in the branches and in the petiole, which had two chambers. Aside from the polypoid gall, all the others showed full adherence. On the campus of Palmas it was recorded the fusiform morphotypes occurring in the primary and secondary veins, from the abaxial surface, varying its color from cream to red; and the pink-colored discoid located on the tertiary veins, on both surfaces; both showed full adherence, grouped occurrence and white trichomes; internally they display a larval chamber and only one larvae per locule. The morphological diversity of galls on C. brasiliense individuals demonstrates the potential of the species as a super-host in the Cerrado biome.

The cagaita is a fruit of cerrado, of pale yellow color and containing 1-3 white seeds, wrapped in a slightly acidic pulp. It presents a significant content of vitamin C, carotenoids and fibers. This work was carried out to evaluate the osmotic dehydration conditions for obtaining cagaita raisins. The osmotic treatment was conducted at 50 °C and 70 °C, without stirring, using sucrose solutions at 45 °Brix and 65 °Brix. Evaluated the loss of water parameters, weight loss and solids uptake, shrinkage and rehydration capacity. The dehydrated samples were subjected to sensory evaluation by applying an acceptance test. The study showed that there was a greater water loss, weight loss and increased incorporation of soluble solids in the dried samples cagaita under the conditions of 65 °Brix to 70 °C. The lower shrinkage rate and higher rehydration capacity were observed in osmotically dehydrated samples at 45 oBrix solution at 50 °C. Sensory analysis showed that dehydrated cagaita showed good acceptance, constituting an option to add value to the fruit.

Galls are structures that show specific associations between the inductor and the host plant, which morphological, anatomical and chemical changes of the plant tissues are highlighted. This paper aimed to describe the morphology and distribution of leaf galls in Anacardium occidentale L. (Anacardiaceae). 294 leafs were collected from the branches apical portion of individuals located in the Federal University of Tocantins - Araguaina Campus, TO. Morphological analyzes were performed using stereoscopic microscope, caliper and specific bibliography. It was determined the number of galls on the foliar limb followed by the number of galls per limb and its length linear regression analysis. Conical type galls were observed crossing the leaf blade, green-colored glabrous when young and orange-red when mature, with isolated/grouped distribution and full adherence; internally it presented a lobe and inducer’s larvae (Cecidomyiidae). The distribution of galls in the limb showed significant differences (p <0.001), in descending order there was a higher number of galls between the veins (57.1%) on the secondary vein (35.7%) on the edge (6.3%) and the central vein (1.2%); Linear regression analysis showed weakly positive (r2 = 0.03; Pearson's correlation coefficient = 0.2025), suggesting that oviposition is associated in part with the foliar limb size and that other variables can be decisive. These are the first records of galls in A. occidentale in the State of Tocantins.

UHE Lajeado reservoir is located in the central region of Tocantins State and it has favorable conditions to recreational activities. The margins of the reservoir exhibit a high recreational potential, thus, the sanitary conditions must be ensured to allow safe primary contact with waters. Balneability indicators should be assessed in environments with recreational purposes aiming the prediction and also to prevent adverse effects on human health and aquatic biota. The present work assessed the indicator parameter of fecal contamination, Escherichia coli, in order to establish the balneability of four beaches, which are: Caju, Prata, Graciosa and Arnos, in the capital of Tocantins State, Palmas. The detection and counting of Escherichia coli used the chromogenic substrate technique of samples taken at five weeks interval during the period of 2012 and 2015. Escherichia coli counting were low and allowed the classification of the beach waters to be very good to excellent based on legal requirements CONAMA No 274/2000. Hence, this work contributes to build an important database about microbiological conditions of the waters of Lajeado reservoir.

The antagonistic microorganisms (bacteria, yeasts and filamentous fungi) are able to exert an antagonistic effect on various pathogens being used to control various diseases of fruits and vegetables. This study aimed to isolate and test microorganisms present in Eugenia dysenterica DC against Aspergillus parasiticus, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, and Monilinia fructicola and in vitro. Stems and leaves were collected from 30 specimens of cagaiteira. The samples were submited to a surface disinfection, according to the proposed by Rose, et. al, (2010). Fragments were inoculated on Petri plates containing the agar Potato 25-28 ° C for 60 days. 263 endophytic fungi strains were obtained, purified and assessed for their potential in to produce inhibitore volatile or diffusible substances. A total of 96 isolates showed antagonistic activity against plant pathogens. 45 isolates being able to inhibit the growth of A. parasiticus. Against the pathogen C. gloeosporioides 68 endophytes showed antagonist activity. Against the pathogen M. fructicola only 17 fungi were able to exert inhibitory effect. These isolates showed potential for the production of bioactive substances against these pathogens.

Cyanobacteria are typical phytoplankton components and they have received attention from the scientific community due to develop blooms in eutrophic environments. The Trophic State Index (TSI) is diagnosis of water body’s condition due to trophic level. This work aimed to estimate water quality from PCH Porto Franco reservoir based on Cyanobacteria abundance and TSI. During the period of 2009 to 2014, 19 sampling were performed in four points in which were analyzed the phytoplankton community, phosphorus and chlorophyll a. Cyanobacteria were detected in all the monitored points and exhibit potentially toxic taxa, for instance, Cylindrospermopsis raciborski and Planktolyngbya limnetica. These organisms are substantially toxic and may provoke harm to human health and to the environment. The Cyanobacteria dominance is associated with mesotrophic to hypereutrophic conditions, which have occurred mainly in upstream barriers. The predominance of a lentic environment, underwater radiation availability and high nutrient concentration demonstrated by TSI are conditions that determine the significantly development of Cyanobacteria in this reservoir.
