Due to its wide range of applications there are different methods for its quantification and characterization in solution systems. Evaluation of C* is important to describe the transition from dilute to semi-dilute, behavior, when the solution will have its characteristic viscosity at concentrations above C*. This dissertation describes the determination of the critical concentration of overlap C* by potentiometry of partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide - HPAM under acidic conditions. Based on the law of mass action and the proper treatment of the constant of aggregate formation, polymer molecular weight, degree of polymerization and hydrolysis were calculated. The inflection point was determined by the intersection of the resulting equation and mathematical development, statistically satisfy the experimental points relating the number of moles of monomers (n), equilibrium constant of formation of the entanglements (K*), pH, C* and acidity constant of the polymer (Ka). The viscometric parameters of C* showed a percentage difference compared to potentiometers. The results for the determination of C*, and degree of copolymerization molar mass proved to be a simple alternative for the characterization of polymers with protonated monomers and water soluble / A poliacrilamida parcialmente hidrolisada (HPAM) ? um copol?mero formado por acrilamida e acrilato de s?dio. Em fun??o de sua ampla faixa de aplica??o existem diferentes m?todos para a sua quantifica??o e caracteriza??o em solu??o. A avalia??o de C* ? importante para descrever a transi??o do regime dilu?do para o semi dilu?do, isto ?, quando a solu??o ter? sua viscosidade caracter?stica, em concentra??es acima de C*. Este trabalho descreve a determina??o da concentra??o cr?tica de overlap C* por potenciometria da poliacrilamida parcialmente hidrolisada HPAM em meio ?cido. Baseando-se na lei de a??o das massas e no tratamento adequado da constante de forma??o do agregado polim?rico foram calculados a massa molar, grau de hidr?lise e de polimeriza??o da HPAM empregada. O ponto de inflex?o foi determinado pelo m?todo da interse??o e a equa??o resultante do desenvolvimento matem?tico, satisfez estatisticamente os pontos experimentais, relacionando o n?mero de mols de mon?meros (n), constante de equil?brio de forma??o do novelo (K*), pH do meio, C* e constante de acidez do pol?mero (Ka). Os par?metros viscosim?tricos de C* apresentaram uma diferen?a percentual em rela??o aos potenciom?tricos. Os resultados para determina??o da C*, grau de copolimeriza??o e massa molar se mostraram uma alternativa simples para caracteriza??o de pol?meros com mon?meros proton?veis e sol?veis em ?gua

For concentration process was used a ceramic ultrafiltration membrane with a molecular range cut-off of 10-20 kDa, transmembrane pressure of 5 bar and, temperature of 30 ?C, 40 ?C and 50 ?C . The optimum temperature condition was at 40 ?C. The Volume Concentrate Factor (VCF) parameter was used as a end-point of the ultrafiltration process and fixed at 2, corresponding on concentrating the initial volume twice, in volume. At the temperature of 40 ?C, VCF had a correspondence on final protein concentration on the concentrated fraction by ultrafiltration and confirmed by Bradford method. Two commercial enzymes were tested Alcalase, Flavourzyme and an equivalent mixture of both 50:50 (w/w) in the hydrolysis reaction. The hydrolysis conditions were determined according to manufacturer instructions and confirmed by other studies: 60 ?C and pH 8 for Alcalase; 50 ?C and pH 7 for Flavourzyme; 50 ?C and pH 8 for enzyme mixture with enzyme / substrate ratio (w / w) 5/100 for all enzymes. The reaction was monitored by pH Stat method. The final Degree of Hydrolysis (DH) achieved was 15%, 52% and 63% for Flavourzyme, Alcalase and enzyme mixture, respectively. Five aliquots were collected along the hydrolysis for each enzyme reaction corresponding to differents DH in order to evaluatethe antioxidant activity by ORAC and ABTS assays with final values between 597- 1092 m? TE (ABTS) and from 1615 to 2920 ?M TE (ORAC) for Flavourzyme; 998-6290 ?M TE (ABTS) and 3092-7567 ?M TE ( ORAC) for Alcalase and finally 913-2678 ?M TE (ABTS) and 2547-5903 ?M TE (ORAC) for the enzyme mixture. The samples from all hydrolysates showed no antimicrobial activity against strains of Salmonella choleraesuis subsp. Enteritidis (ATCC 13076) and Listeria monocytogenes (ATCC 9117). / A proposta do presente trabalho foi avaliar a concentra??o das prote?nas do soro de leite bovino por ultrafiltra??o e posterior obten??o de hidrolisados proteicos deste concentrado via hidr?lise enzim?tica visando obter pept?deos bioativos com potencial atividade antimicrobiana e antioxidante. Para concentra??o das prote?nas do soro foi utilizada membrana cer?mica de ultrafiltra??o com massa molar de corte de 10-20 kDa, press?o aplicada ? membrana de 5 bar, temperaturas testadas (30 ?C, 40 ?C e 50 ?C) . A temperatura ?tima selecionada foi de 40 ?C. O Fator de Concentra??o Volum?trica foi o par?metro utilizado para indicar o final do processo de ultrafiltra??o sendo fixado em duas vezes o volume inicial da alimenta??o. Na temperatura de 40 ?C foi obtida correspond?ncia entre a concentra??o volum?trica e a concentra??o proteica final na fra??o retida pela UF, que tamb?m foi o dobro da encontrada na fra??o alimenta??o, avaliada pelo m?todo de Bradford. Foram testadas duas enzimas comerciais: Alcalase, Flavourzyme e uma mistura equivalente de ambas, na propor??o 50:50 (m/m) na rea??o de hidr?lise. As condi??es de rea??o enzim?tica foram determinadas de acordo com instru??es do fabricante e corroboradas por outros estudos em: 60 ?C, pH 8 para Alcalase; 50 ?C, pH 7 para Flavourzyme; 50 ?C, pH 8 para mistura enzim?tica e rela??o enzima/substrato (g/g) foi de 5/100 para todas as enzimas. A rea??o de hidr?lise foi monitorada pelo m?todo pH Stat. Os Graus de Hidr?lise (GH) finais alcan?ados foram de 15 %, 52 % e 63 % para Flavourzyme, mistura enzim?tica e Alcalase, respectivamente. Foram coletadas cinco al?quotas correspondentes a diferentes GH ao longo da rea??o para cada condi??o enzim?tica utilizada e avaliadas quanto a atividade antioxidante pelos m?todos ABTS e ORAC tendo valores entre 597 a 1092 ?M TE (ABTS) e 1615 a 2920 ?M TE (ORAC) para Flavourzyme, 998 a 6290 ?M TE (ABTS) e 3092 a 7567 ?M TE (ORAC) para Alcalase e por fim, 913 a 2678 ?M TE (ABTS) e 2547 a 5903 ?M TE (ORAC) para a mistura enzim?tica. Nenhuma das amostras de hidrolisado com diferentes GH apresentou atividade antimicrobiana contra cepas de Salmonella choleraesuis subsp. Enteritidis (ATCC 13076) e Listeria monocytogenes (ATCC 9117).

The polymers were characterized by 1H and 13C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), Elemental Analysis and Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC). The values of the hydrolysis degree were obtained by 13C NMR. The viscosity of HAPAM and HAPAM-10N-R solutions was evaluated as a function of shear rate, ionic strength and temperature. At high polymer concentration (Cp), the viscosity of HAPAM solutions increased with the ionic strength and decreased with the temperature. The viscosity of HAPAM-10N-R solutions increased significantly in distilled water, due to repulsions between the carboxylate groups. At high Cp, with the increase of ionic strength and temperature, occurred a decrease of viscosity, due to mainly the high hydrolysis degree and the low amount of hydrophobic groups. These results indicated that the studied polymers have properties more suitable for the application in Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) in low salinity and moderate temperature reservoirs / A rea??o de hidr?lise em meio alcalino do pol?mero comercial poli(acrilamida-co-metacrilato de 3,5,5 trimetil-hexano) denominado HAPAM, contendo 0,75 % de grupos hidrof?bicos, foi realizada em solu??es de NaCl 0,1 M e NaOH 0,25 M, variando a temperatura e o tempo reacional. Os pol?meros foram caracterizados por Resson?ncia Magn?tica Nuclear (RMN) de 1H e 13C, An?lise Elementar e Cromatografia de Exclus?o por Tamanho (SEC). Os valores do grau de hidr?lise foram obtidos por RMN 13C. A viscosidade das solu??es de HAPAM e HAPAM-10N-R foi avaliada em fun??o da taxa de cisalhamento, for?a i?nica e temperatura. ? alta concentra??o polim?rica (Cp), a viscosidade das solu??es de HAPAM aumentou com a for?a i?nica e diminuiu com o aumento da temperatura. A viscosidade das solu??es de HAPAM-10N-R aumentou significantemente em ?gua destilada, devido ?s repuls?es entre os grupos carboxilato. ? alta Cp, com o aumento da for?a i?nica e da temperatura ocorreu uma diminui??o da viscosidade, devido, principalmente, ao alto grau de hidr?lise e ? baixa quantidade de grupos hidrof?bicos. Estes resultados indicaram que os pol?meros estudados apresentam propriedades mais adequadas para aplica??o na recupera??o avan?ada de petr?leo (EOR) em reservat?rios de baixa salinidade e temperatura moderada
