The composition, biological trafficking and cholesterol-lowering efficacy of sugarcane-derived policosanol supplements /

Marinangeli, Christopher P. F. January 2006 (has links)
The cholesterol-lowering efficacy of the original sugarcane-derived Cuban policosanol (OPC) supplement has been attributed to an exclusive policosanol purity and composition. The first objective of the following study was to compare the purity and composition of the OPC and alternative sugarcane derived policosanol (APC) products. Second, to measure blood lipids and policosanol levels in tissues, plasma and feces in hamsters receiving diet fortified with no policosanols, OPC, or an APC (APC1) product. Results indicated that the policosanol purity and composition of the OPC and APC formulations are similar. Lipid levels were not significantly different between groups. Policosanols were undetectable in the plasma and tissues of any animals following policosanol supplementation. Policosanols were excreted at a higher rate in animals consuming APC1. Sugarcane-derived policosanols are not an efficacious cholesterol-lowering therapy. The purity and relative percent composition of the OPC supplement cannot account for its efficacy as a lipid lowering agent.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Paixao_AndreaLeticia_M.pdf: 382508 bytes, checksum: 42f20ead57c01751720460aef6606dd8 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2008 / Resumo: O Brasil, por ser o maior produtor de cana-de-açúcar e o maior exportador de açúcar do mundo, representa um pólo de crescimento para a produção de cera de cana-de-açúcar. Esta cera é obtida a partir da torta de filtro, um subproduto da indústria sucro-alcooleira. A partir da cera é possível se obter concentrados de álcoois e ácidos graxos de cadeia longa, compostos utilizados em diversas aplicações como, por exemplo, em áreas relacionadas à saúde humana. O objetivo deste trabalho foi estudar processos de obtenção do concentrado de álcoois graxos presente na cera de cana-de-açúcar purificada e clarificada a partir dos processos de saponificação, acidulação e lavagem do produto com etanol. O concentrado de álcoois graxos com 68% de pureza foi conseguido através da lavagem da cera saponificada e acidulada, inicialmente com água quente e, em seguida com etanol a frio. A partir da purificação com acetona, o teor dos álcoois graxos chegou a 88%. O produto atual no mercado apresenta uma pureza de 90% e, portanto, comparando os resultados obtidos, pode-se concluir que o processo de concentração do álcool graxo foi eficiente / Abstract: Brazil, being the world¿s greatest sugarcane producer and sugar exporter, represents a potential center for the production of sugarcane wax. This wax is obtained from the filter cakes, a sub-product of the sugar and alcohol industry. From the wax, it is possible to obtain concentrates of long chain fatty alcohols and fatty acids, compounds used in several applications related to human health. The objective of this work was to study different processes to obtain a concentrate of the fatty alcohols present in purified and clarified sugarcane wax, through saponification, acidulation and washing of the product with ethanol. A 68% purity fatty alcohol concentrate was produced by washing the saponified and acidulated wax, initially with hot water and then with cold ethanol. Through purification with acetone, the percentage of fatty alcohols reached 88%. The product currently available in the market presents a purity of 90% and, therefore, comparing the results obtained, it can be concluded that the fatty alcohol concentration process was efficient / Mestrado / Mestre em Tecnologia de Alimentos

São utilizados na indústria como emulsificantes, surfactantes ou emolientes. Atualmente, existem muitos estudos sobre o uso de álcoois graxos associados a ácidos graxos como substitutos do processo de hidrogenação para a fabricação de margarinas e outras emulsões. O conhecimento do equilíbrio sólido-líquido de misturas binárias de álcoois graxos é uma ferramenta importante para se entender o comportamento de misturas mais complexas. Assim, neste trabalho se objetivou construir diagramas de equilíbrio sólido-líquido de misturas binárias de álcoois graxos saturados pares contendo de oito a dezoito átomos na cadeia carbônica, a partir da calorimetria Exploratória Diferencial, com método experimental previamente utilizado por Rolemberg (2002) e Costa (2004) para ácidos graxos e triacilgliceróis. Para complementar os resultados também foram capturadas imagens de microscopia óptica com controle de temperatura. Os sistemas aqui estudados apresentaram três comportamentos diferentes da linha liquidus: no primeiro grupo estão os sistemas que apresentaram apenas o ponto eutético, no segundo aqueles com ponto eutético e ponto peritético e o último grupo exibe nenhum desses pontos. Para os sistemas que apresentaram ponto peritético, pode-se observar nas imagens de microscopia a recristalização de algumas amostras com o aumento de temperatura, o que evidencia a ocorrência da reação metatética para tais sistemas. Foram utilizados os modelos termodinâmicos para coeficiente de atividade Margules 2 e 3-sufixos e NRTL para ajuste dos dados experimentais dos sistemas que apresentaram apenas ponto eutético simples e ponto eutético e peritético e obteve-se um valor de DQM satisfatório para todos os casos. Já para o modelo preditivo UNIFAC original, os desvios com relação aos valores experimentais foram altos, o que se supõe ser proveniente de simplificações, como a hipótese de uma fase sólida pura, o que neste trabalho se mostrou inadequado / Abstract: Fatty alcohols are minor constituents of vegetal tissues, being mainly found in vegetal waxes. Fatty alcohols are used in industry as emulsifiers, surfactants or emollients agents. There are many studies about the use of fatty alcohol associated with fatty acids as substitutes for the hydrogenation process of margarine manufacturing and other edible emulsions, for example. Solid-liquid equilibrium of binary mixtures of fatty alcohols is na important tool for understanding the behavior of fatty complex mixtures. Thus, this work aimed to study diagrams of solid-liquid equilibrium of binary systems of even saturated fatty alcohols from eight to eighteen atoms in the carbon chain by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). This method was previously used by Rolemberg (2002) and Costa et al. (2007a, 2009a, 2009b, 2009c) for fatty acids and triacylglycerols systems. To complement the study were also captured images for some systems by optical microscope with temperature control. The liquidus line of the studied systems showed three different behaviors: one showed only the eutectic point, another the eutectic and peritectic points or neither eutectic nor peritectic point. For systems that had peritectic point, it could be observed in the microscopy images the recrystallization of the compositions that was investigated on the microscopy, even with the temperature increase. This behavior corroborates the existence of the metatetic reaction in these systems. Margules-2-suffix, Margules-3-suffix, NRTL, UNIFAC and UNIFAC-Dortmund models were applied to fit the experimental data. The best fit for the systems that exhibit peritectic and eutectic points were obtained through Margules and NRTL models. UNIFAC and UNIFAC-Dortmund models have showed high deviation compared to experimental data of the modeled systems / Mestrado / Mestre em Engenharia de Alimentos
