Assessment of cassava starch biofilm in the quality and shelf life of banana 'prata'

Brazil is now the world's fourth-largest banana producer in the world with an annual production of 6.953,747 tons per year. In Brazil, the banana (Musa spp.) stands out, not only because it is the most widespread, but also because it is the most consumed by all social classes. Cassava is a renewable, almost unlimited resource and one of the most abundant substances in nature. It is one of the most important starchy root crops of the tropics used for food and industrial purposes. The present study evaluated the use of biofilms based on cassava starch in maintaining the quality and shelf life of the 'Prata' banana at room temperature. Initially, filmogenic solutions were produced using the casting technique for two treatments. T1 (2.6% starch / 500 mL of distilled water); T2 (2.6% starch / 500 mL of distilled water + 1 g of gelatin). Additionally, thickness, weight, and, subsequently, the biofilms were applied in the film-forming solution for 1 min and suspended for further drying at room temperature. After this process, were evaluated the loss of fresh mass, pH, and totals soluble solids. The present study revealed the efficiency of biofilm coating with and without gelatin to reduce the rate of enzymatic browning and increase the shelf life of bananas. It was possible to verify a smaller reduction in fresh weight loss in the treatments. Besides, no significant difference was observed in the addition of gelatin to the parameters evaluated in the fruit

Risk Factors for the Incidence of Dental Caries in Low, Very Low, and Extremely Low Birth Weight Children: A Cohort Study

Objective: To assess the incidence of caries in a two-year period among low birth weight (LBW), very low birth weight (VLBW), and extremely low birth weight (ELBW) children considering socioeconomic indicators, dietary factors and oral hygiene. Material and Methods: A convenience sample was formed of 42 low birth weight children aged two to five years at baseline. Two examiners diagnosed caries using the World Health Organization criteria. Birth weight, socioeconomic indicators and diet were collected from medical records and questionnaires. Binomial models were used to estimate unadjusted and adjusted rate ratios (RR) and respective 95% confidence intervals for the factors evaluated. Results: Thirty-six children were re-examined after two years. The incidence of dental caries was 36.7%. The dmft index was 0.44 (±1.25) at baseline and increased to 1.36 (±3.85) at follow-up. VLBW children (1,000 to 1,500 g) (RR=0.23; 95%CI: 0.08-0.72) and LBW children (1,500 to 2,500 g) (RR=0.06; 0.01-0.55) had fewer carious lesions compared to ELBW children (<1,000 g). Carious lesions were more frequent among children with a lower income (RR=6.05; 1.05-34.84) and less frequent among those who did not consume sweetened juice, tea or yogurt (RR: 0.21; 0.07-0.62). Conclusion: An inverse dose-response relation was found between birth weight and the incidence of caries. A lower income and the consumption of sweetened beverages were risk factors for the development of caries

Cognitive Evaluation in Parkinson’s Disease: Applying the Movement Disorder Society Recommendations in a Population With a Low Level of Formal Education

Background  The diagnosis of cognitive disorders in Parkinson disease (PD) can be very challenging. Aiming at establishing uniform and reliable diagnostic procedures, the International Parkinson\u27s Disease and Movement Disorder Society (MDS) commissioned task forces to delineate diagnostic criteria for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia in PD. Objectives  To investigate the applicability of the MDS recommendations for cognitive evaluation in a Brazilian sample of patients with PD with low levels of formal education. Methods  A total of 41 patients with PD were subjected to a comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation based on tests proposed by the MDS, which included the Mini-Mental State Examination, the Mattis Dementia Rating Scale (MDRS), the Trail Making Test (TMT) parts A and B, in addition to language and memory skills assessment. Neuropsychiatric and daily functioning features were also evaluated. Spearman correlation analyses were used to evaluate the association between the scores obtained in the cognitive scales and demographic/clinical variables. Results  Although none of the participants had a formal diagnosis of dementia, 50% presented some degree of cognitive impairment when considering the results of the MDRS. Of note, a noticeable number of patients was not able to complete the full neuropsychological assessment. The TMT part B was the most difficult task, being completed by only 22 participants (54%). As expected, the greater the educational level, the better the performance on the cognitive tests. Better motor function was also associated with better scores in cognition. Conclusions  Adopting strict inclusion/exclusion criteria and a comprehensive clinical evaluation, we found remarkable limitations for the MDS recommendations when individuals with low educational levels are considered. A revision of the current guidelines is necessary considering differences among populations, especially related to formal education

Dental hypodontia in dogs: Hipodontia dentária em cães

Hypodontia is a type of dental anomaly that can affect dogs, characterized by the congenital absence of up to six deciduous or permanent teeth. According to reports in the literature, the absence of a dental element is an incidental finding and the absence of the first premolar teeth is observed more frequently. It is believed that there is a genetic component and viral factors that predispose to the non-development of dental elements. However, an interruption in the development of these same dental elements can cause tooth failure. It is not possible to discern whether there is a dental element or not just through the macroscopic examination of the oral cavity. In this sense, it is necessary to carry out an intraoral radiographic examination for diagnostic elucidation, which will lead to an appropriate treatment. According to the literature, non-eruption of teeth can generate a dentigerous cyst, whose treatment is based on the extraction of any remaining tooth tissue. &nbsp

Influência do PH e concentração salina na propriedade espumante da goma de linhaça (Linum usitatissimum L.) / Influence of PH and salt concentration on the sparkling property of flaxseed gum (Linum usitatissimum L.)

A linhaça (Linum usitatissimum L.) é considerada um alimento funcional, rico em proteínas, fibras e polissacarídeos. No Brasil são comercializadas duas espécies (marrom e dourada), que não diferenciam entre si quanto aos nutrientes. A goma (mucilagem) obtida da linhaça apresenta alta solubilidade e capacidade de estabilizar espumas, podendo ser usada como estabilizantes e espessantes. O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar o efeito da concentração da goma de linhaça, do pH e da concentração salina nas propriedades espumantes da goma, utilizando um delineamento inteiramente casualizado (DIC) em esquema fatorial. Primeiramente, foram avaliados a expansão e estabilidade da goma em diferentes níveis de concentração do grão de linhaça (p/v) (2,5%; 5%; 7,5%; 10%; 12,5%; 15%; 17,5% e 20%). Posteriormente, foi avaliado a expansão e a estabilidade da goma de linhaça na concentração de 10%, em função de quatro níveis de pH (3,0; 4,0; 5,0 e 6,0) e cinco concentrações de cloreto de sódio (NaCl) (0; 0,25; 0,5; 0,75 e 1,0 Mol.L-1). Foi possível ajustar modelos para todos os parâmetros estudados. Observou-se o efeito da concentração de sal (NaCl), e dos níveis de pH sobre a expansão e estabilidade da espuma da goma de linhaça e esses fatores influenciaram significativamente na propriedade espumante, onde obteve melhores resultados em menores concentrações de sal (0-0,25M) e menores valores de pH (pH 3,0 e 4,0). Esses estudos de propriedades tecnológicas funcionais são importantes para aplicação da goma de linhaça em produtos alimentícios

Production of Handmade Paper from the Sugar Cane Bagasse Pulping

Nowadays, Brazil is considered the leading country, worldwide, in the production of sugarcane. Therefore, it is also the largest producer of residual biomass: the sugarcane bagasse. This is produced in different activities, such as biofuel, beverage, and sugar production. As all conventional waste, if improperly disposed of it can impact the environment and therefore, it is necessary to use methods to recover this biomass so that it can be returned as a consumer good. Thus, this work aims to use sugarcane bagasse from pastry shops in Duque de Caxias, RJ, to produce paper using homemade techniques. In this sense, the pulping method was performed by cooking the fibers in a pressure cooker in alkaline medium, washing and drying. Subsequently, the fibers obtained were molded on an A4 screen. Two sheets and three replicas were produced. The results obtained showed that the paper production was efficient and the physical measurements, grammage, area, mass, thickness, height and width, calculated by ANOVA and Tukey's Method showed equal values in each case, which indicates the quality of the production. In addition, the physical characteristics classified them as Kraft type paper, which can be used in craft activities
