Creation of a sticky coating of dairy proteins containing bioactive peptides to reduce dental caries

Noren, Nancy Ellen 11 January 2016 (has links)
A sticky coating composed of dairy proteins and bioactive peptides (caseinophosphopeptides, CPPs) to prevent dental caries was formulated. The coating consisted of 10% CPPs, 70% glycerol and 20% casein (or hydrolysate) and/or whey in ratios from 0:100 to 100:0 casein:whey. Sodium caseinate was hydrolysed with three different enzymes, Alcalase, trypsin and α-chymotrypsin, yielding three hydrolysates classified as CN-A, CN-T and CN-C, respectively. The degree of hydrolysis reached levels of 18.04, 13.63 and 11.40% for CN-A, CN-T and CN-C respectively. Degree of hydrolysis was proportional to molecular weight determined by FPLC. CN-C coatings were the stickiest based on probe-tack test and capable of withstanding up to 22.46 N of force. Attempts to correlate glass transition temperatures to stickiness of the coatings proved inconclusive. All coatings were capable of binding enough calcium to remineralise tooth enamel. Results indicated that 100:0 CN-C:whey produced the stickiest coating; however this combination also increased bacterial adhesion. / February 2016

A elevada instabilidade genética de S. clavuligerus resulta, com frequência, em deleções de trechos do DNA cromossomal que são, em sua maioria, associados à capacidade de esporulação e a produção de metabolitos secundários. Tais estados mutadores indesejáveis normalmente são potencializados por condições limite, como a mudanças bruscas de temperatura e pH, a presença de certos compostos, entre outros fatores, que podem ocorrer em qualquer etapa de manuseio/cultivo do microrganismo. Por outro lado, certas condições adversas ao crescimento durante a fermentação favorecem a produção de metabólitos secundários. Assim, a indústria da fermentação tem investido na busca de condições favoráveis de crescimento celular que permitam favorecer a produção. Para isto, é necessário dispor de estoque de células estáveis e produtivas, cuja integridade genética permita obter dados reprodutíveis e confiáveis. Deste modo, o presente trabalho teve por objetivo melhorar as condições de cultivo de S. clavuligerus, definindo-se um meio padrão de cultivo em batelada contendo nutrientes cuja presença favoreceu a produção de um determinado bioativo (CefC, AC ou Hol), tanto pela linhagem selvagem quanto pelas mutantes.

The high genetic instability of S. clavuligerus often results in chromosomal deletions of stretches of DNA that are mostly associated with the sporulation capacity and production of secondary metabolites. Mutators such undesirable states are usually exacerbated by boundary conditions, such as sudden changes in temperature and pH, the presence of certain compounds, among other factors, which may occur at any stage of handling/cultivation of the microorganism. On the other hand, certain adverse conditions promote growth during fermentation production of secondary metabolites. Thus, the present study aimed to improve the cultivation of S. clavuligerus, defining a means cropping pattern batch containing nutrients whose presence favored the production of a bioactive determined (CEFC, AC or Hol), both by wild type as well as the mutant strain. Still, compared to the production of Hol mutants using inoculum spores stored in cryotubes (-80 ° C) and fresh spore suspension.

Sua importância é dada pelo valor medicinal, popularmente usado no tratamento da ansiedade, insônia e irritabilidade; alimentício, na forma de polpa congelada e suco, doces, geleia e sorvete; e nutracêutico ou alimento funcional, apresentando elevados teores de íons fosfato e potássio, vitamina A, B1 (tiamina), B2 (riboflavina) e C (ácido ascórbico). Algumas alterações podem ocorrer durante o processamento e armazenamento do suco interferindo na cor e sabor do produto final, o que pode implicar em não aceitação por parte dos consumidores. Isso pode ocorrer principalmente devido a reações bioquímicas de escurecimento e alterações bioquímicas moleculares que resultam em flavors indesejáveis e perda de nutrientes. Por esse motivo o controle desses efeitos indesejáveis durante o processamento de frutos é muito importante para a preservação da aparência natural dos mesmos. Deste modo as enzimas Pectinametilesterase (PME; EC: 3.1.1.11), Peroxidase (POD; EC: 1.11.1.7), Polifenoloxidase (PPO; EC: 1.10.3.1) e Ascorbato Oxidase (AO; EC: 1.10.3.3) podem ser responsáveis pelo escurecimento enzimático e outras reações que alteram o produto durante e ao final do processamento. Visto isso, com o objetivo de agregar valores nutricionais e mercadológicos ao maracujá vem sendo desenvolvida e usada a cultura híbrida, que, em síntese, significa o uso de sementes modificadas e com manejo adequado, com vistas à racionalização do uso de defensivos agrícolas e aumento de produtividade.

Its importance is given by medicinal value, commonly used for treating anxiety, insomnia and irritability; food in the form of frozen pulp and juice, candy, jelly and ice cream, and nutraceutical or functional food, with high levels of potassium and phosphate ions, Vitamin A, B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin) and C (ascorbic acid). Some changes may occur during processing and storage of the juice interfere the color and flavor of the final product, which can result in non-acceptance by the consumers. This can occur mainly due to biochemical browning and reactions molecular biochemical changes that result in undesirable flavors and nutrient loss. Therefore the control of these undesirable effects during processing of fruits is very important for preserving the natural appearance. Thus, enzymes pectinmethilesterase (PME, EC: 3.1.1.11), peroxidase (POD, EC: 1.11.1.7), Polyphenoloxidase (PPO, EC: 1.10.3.1) and ascorbate oxidase (AO, EC: 1.10.3.3) can be responsible for enzymatic browning and other reactions that alter the product during and after processing. Seen it, with the goal of adding nutritional value and market the passion fruit has been developed and used a hybrid culture, which, in summary, means the use of modified seeds and with appropriate management, with a view to rationalizing the use of pesticides and increase productivity. The aim of this work is to study the kinetic behavior of the enzymes already mentioned and evaluate the contents of bioactive compounds such as vitamin C, phenolic compounds, flavonoids and antioxidant activity of five hybrid the yellow passion fruit tart cultivar. The main results of this study was to visualize distinct kinetic behaviors of the same enzyme in hybrids studied and higher levels... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Design, synthesis, and evaluation of bioactive molecules; Chiral polyvinylpyrrolidones supported Cu/Au nanoclusters catalyzed cyclization of 5-substituted nona-1,8-dien-5-ols

Zhang, Man January 1900 (has links)
Doctor of Philosophy / Department of Chemistry / Duy H. Hua / Small molecules are of great importance in drug discovery currently. The first three chapters discussed the design, synthesis and bio-evaluation of three different classes of small molecules and exploration of their biological targets. Triacsin C analogs were designed as long chain fatty acyl-CoA synthetase (ACSL) inhibitors for attenuating ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injury. Oxadiazole derivatives were designed as T-type calcium channel inhibitors, which have potential application in the treatment of seizure and epilepsy. Tricyclic pyrone derivatives were reported as anti-Alzheimer lead compounds in previous research done by the Hua group. TP70 and CP2 were synthesized to explore their pharmacokinetics properties. Chapter 4 described chiral-substituted poly-N-vinylpyrrolidones (CSPVP) supported Cu/Au nanoclusters mediation of cyclization reaction of 5-substituted nona-1,8-dien-5-ols. A five-member cyclized lactone possessing a stereogenic tetrasubstituted carbon center was formed in a one-step Cu/Au nanoclusters-hydrogen peroxide oxidation reaction. This developed a novel and simple method to synthesize tetrasubstituted carbon stereogenic center. Drawbacks of the method in my initial study were low reaction yield and moderate enantioselectivity. The chemical yield and enantioselectivity have been significantly improved by introducing bulkier substitution in C3 and C4 positions of CSPVP according to the updates of ongoing research.
