RESUMO
Twenty-four male Nellore steers (445 ± 31 kg initial body weight) were used to evaluate the effects of different doses of phenolic compounds from a propolis-based product (PBP) on growth performance, carcass traits, and meat fatty acid (FA) profile. The total mixed ration consisted of 470 g kg-1 corn silage and 530 g kg-1 concentrate (dry matter [DM] basis), which were randomly assigned to one of three treatments: control (CON, without phenolic compounds from the propolis extract), PBP1 (225 mg of phenolic compounds g-1 of propolis dry extract), and PBP2 (300 mg of phenolic compounds g-1 of propolis dry extract). The animals were fed in a feedlot for 84 days and presented an average final body weight (FBW) of 542 kg. Dietary addition of phenolic compounds had no overall effect on growth performance. Mean values for dry matter intake, average daily gain and feed conversion ratio were 9.99 kg d-1, 1.14 kg d-1 and 8.82 kg DM kg gain-1, respectively. Hot carcass weight and hot carcass yield had average values of 308 kg and 56.8%, respectively. In addition, carcass traits did not change after PBPs were added to the diet, except for the ribeye area, which was higher for PBP2 (21.5 cm2 100 kg-1) than for PBP1 (18.6 cm2 100 kg-1). Dietary addition of PBPs maintained redness better than the controls after 9 days in the refrigerator; no major changes were observed in the meat FA profile after the addition of PBPs to the diet. These results suggest that phenolic compounds present in propolis (300 mg g-1) have positive effects on meat color and improve the sensory quality of meat.(AU)
Foram utilizados vinte e quatro novilhos da raça Nelore (445 ± 31 kg de peso corporal inicial) para avaliar o efeito de diferentes doses de compostos fenólicos obtidos a partir de produto a base de própolis (PBP) sobre o desempenho produtivo, características de carcaça e perfil de ácidos graxos (AG). A ração total foi constituída em 470 g kg-1 de silagem de milho e 530 g kg-1 de concentrado (com base na matéria seca) e os animais foram distribuídos nos seguintes tratamentos: controle (CON, sem compostos fenólicos do extrato seco de própolis), PBP1 (225 de compostos fenólicos g-1 de extrato seco de própolis) e PBP2 (300 mg de compostos fenólicos g-1 de extrato seco de própolis). Os animais foram alimentados em confinamento por 84 dias e apresentaram peso corporal final médio de 542 kg. A adição dos compostos fenólicos da própolis na ração não influenciou o desempenho produtivo. Os valores médios para consumo de matéria seca, ganho médio diário e conversão alimentar foram 9,99 kg d-1, 1,14 kg d-1 e 8,82 kg MS kg ganho-1, respectivamente. O peso de carcaça quente e o rendimento de carcaça quente apresentaram valores médios de 308 kg e 56,8%; respectivamente. Além disso, as características da carcaça não foram alteradas após a adição dos PBPs à dieta, exceto para a área de olho de lombo, que foi maior para o tratamento PBP2 (21,5 cm2 100 kg-1) quando comparada ao PBP1 (18,6 cm2 100 kg-1). A adição dos PBPs manteve a carne mais vermelha do que o CON após 9 dias na geladeira; não foram observadas grandes alterações no perfil de AG da carne após a adição dos PBPs à dieta. Os resultados sugerem que os compostos fenólicos presentes na própolis (300 mg g-1) têm efeitos positivos na coloração da carne, melhorando sua qualidade sensorial.(AU)

INTRODUCTION: With the increase of chronic diseases as a consequence of the population's eating habits, there is also a growing interest in foods rich in bioactive compounds capable of mitigating these diseases. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the effects of supplementation with kombucha and green banana flour (GBF) on Wistar rats fed with cafeteria diet (CAF). METHODS: The animals were randomized into five groups of seven animals each, which were fed with the following diets: Treatment 1 (T1): Control treatment/commercial feed; Treatment 2 (T2): cafeteria diet (CAF); Treatment 3 (T3): CAF + kombucha; Treatment 4 (T4): CAF + green banana flour (GBF); Treatment 5 (T5): CAF + GBF + kombucha. Daily weight gain, daily food consumption, feed conversion, blood glucose, total cholesterol and fractions, triglycerides, liver enzymes, antioxidant activity, and body composition were evaluated. RESULTS: T5 presented lower feed intake and less weight gain. Liver histology revealed vacuolization in all treatments except T1, which was confirmed by the results of liver enzymes. There was no increase in blood glucose, and changes were observed in the lipid profile of the animals. T1 had the lowest body fat and the highest protein levels. Differences were observed for the antioxidant capacity in the liver of animals among treatments. CONCLUSION: The intake of cafeteria diet altered the lipid and liver profile of the animals and the consumption of kombucha and GBF did not prevent these changes. The high polyphenols level of kombucha did not exert a hepatoprotective effect as an antioxidant. However, this supplementation generated greater satiety in the animals, leading to less weight gain until the end of the experiment.
RESUMO
The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of natural antioxidants in tilapia fillets submitted to sous vide process. Four treatments were carried out using different natural antioxidants (Treatment 1 control, without antioxidant; Treatment 2 oregano extract; Treatment 3 -rosemary extract and Treatment 4 -basil extract) with six replicates. Analyzes of centesimal composition, microbiological composition and lipid oxidation through Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) were performed. There was a significant difference in moisture content, being higher for treatments with extracts, whereas the control treatment presented higher protein content. The fillets were within microbiological standards recommended by legislation. The values obtained from Malondialdehyde(MDA)/kg demonstrate the efficiency of natural antioxidants added. The use of plant extracts as natural antioxidants in sous vide has been shown to be an alternative to minimize oxidative rancidity of tilapia fillets, increasing shelf life. Thus, it is possible to use rosemary, oregano and basil extracts in the tilapia sous vide process.(AU)
O objetivo deste estudo, foi avaliar o uso de antioxidantes naturais em filés de tilápia submetidos ao processo de Sous vide. Foram elaborados quatro tratamentos com a utilização de diferentes antioxidantes naturais no processo sous vide (Tratamento 1 controle sem antioxidante; Tratamento 2 -extrato de orégano; Tratamento 3 -extrato de alecrim e Tratamento 4 -extrato de manjericão), com seis repetições. Foram realizadas análise de composição centesimal, microbiológica e oxidação lipídica através das substâncias reativas ao ácido tiobarbitúrico (TBARS). Houve diferença significativa para o teor de umidade, sendo maior para os tratamentos com os extratos, enquanto no tratamento controle, os filés apresentaram maior teor de proteína. Os filés estavam dentro do padrão microbiológico recomendado pela legislação. Os valores obtidos de malonaldeído (MDA)/kg demonstram eficiência da utilização dos antioxidantes naturais. A utilização de extratos vegetais como antioxidantes naturais no processo Sous vide, mostrou ser uma alternativa para minimizar a rancidez oxidativa dos filés de tilápia, aumentando a vida de prateleira. Assim, é possível utilizar os extratos de alecrim, orégano e manjericão no processo sous vide de filé de tilápia.(AU)

Li(2)O-ZrO(2)-BaO-SiO(2) glass fibers were produced and their surfaces were coated with zinc oxide. The fibers' surface morphology was examined by scanning electron microscopy and the zinc oxide layer was characterized by mapping the K(α) and L(α) lines of zinc by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The results indicated that a homogeneous and porous layer of ZnO was formed on the fibers' surface. This layer was subjected to a simultaneous determination of trihalomethanes using headspace-solid phase microextraction-gas chromatography. The study was conducted after evaluating the ideal time of incubation (15 min), extraction (15 min) and desorption (10 min), as well as the effect of the addition of salt (15%, m/v) on the analytical response. A good linear dynamic range was observed individually for trihalomethanes aqueous solutions containing 20 µg L(-1) and 500 µg L(-1) of trichloromethane, 15 µg L(-1) and 250 µg L(-1) of dichlorobromomethane and dibromochloromethane and 10 µg L(-1) and 100 µg L(-1) of tribromomethane, with all the compounds showing correlation coefficients higher than 0.9900.
