Os óleos essenciais cítricos possuem uma ampla variedade de aplicações em diversos ramos das indústrias químicas, farmacêuticas, de alimentos, entre outras. Na indústria de cosméticos, mais precisamente no ramo de perfumaria, os ativos naturais cítricos (provenientes dos óleos de bergamota, limão, lima, mandarina, laranja, etc) são empregados nas formulações de colônias, cremes hidratantes e loções. Além disso, estes compostos são largamente utilizados como agentes aromatizantes nas indústrias alimentícias e farmacêuticas e empregados como matéria-prima para as indústrias de aromas. Com o objetivo de melhorar a qualidade dos óleos essenciais e sua capacidade aromatizante, alguns processos têm sido desenvolvidos para enriquecer a mistura com compostos oxigenados, os quais são reportados como os principais responsáveis pelo aroma característico da fruta. Tal processo é comumente conhecido como desterpenação e consiste na concentração destes compostos pela retirada de hidrocarbonetos terpênicos do óleo e pode ser realizado por meio da extração líquida ou extração por solvente. Neste contexto, esta dissertação de mestrado teve como finalidade estudar da viabilidade técnica do processo de desterpenação de óleo essencial cítrico modelo composto por limoneno e linalol. Os experimentos foram conduzidos em coluna de discos rotativos perfurados (PRDC) sob condição de temperatura controlada e pressão ambiente local. O equipamento operou de modo contínuo e contracorrente, utilizado como solventes soluções de etanol com teores de água de 30 e 40% (em massa), velocidade de rotação dos discos de 150, 200 e 250 rpm e razão entre a vazão mássica de solvente e alimentação de 0,5; 1,25; 2,5 e 3,0. Avaliou-se, também, o comportamento da densidade e viscosidade das fases extrato e rafinado oriundas da coluna de extração. Através deste estudo foi possível verificar que a tecnologia de desterpenação de óleos essenciais por meio da extração líquido-líquido é viável podendo ser aplicada à processos contínuos utilizando equipamento PRDC, por exemplo, sendo possível a obtenção de frações enriquecidas do composto oxigenado (linalol). / Citrus essential oils are used in a wide variety of applications in various branches of the chemical, pharmaceutical, food and other industries. In the cosmetics industry, specifically in the field of perfumery, natural citrus assets (from the essential oils of bergamot, lemon, lime, mandarin, orange, etc.) are used in the formulations of colonies, moisturizing creams and lotions. Furthermore, these compounds are widely used as flavoring agents in food and pharmaceutical industries and as raw material for the flavor industry. With the aim to improve the quality of essential oils and its flavoring ability, some processes have been developed to enrich the mixture with oxygenated compounds, which are reported as the main responsible for the characteristic aroma of the fruit. Such process is commonly known as deterpenation, and consists in concentration of these compounds by the removal of terpene compounds from the essencial oil and can be performed by liquid or solvent extraction. In this context, the purpose of this dissertation of master\'s degree was to carry out a study of the technical feasibility of deterpenation process of a citrus essential oil model composed by a mixture of limonene and linalool. The experiments of deterpenation were conducted in a perforated rotating discs contactor (PRDC) under controlled conditions of temperature and local environment al pressure. The equipment was operated in continuously and countercurrently mode, using as solvents ethanol solutions with 30 and 40% of water contents (by mass), rotation of discs speed of 150, 200 and 250 rpm and the mass flow rate of the solvent and feed ratio of 0.5, 1.25, 2.5 and 3.0. The behavior of the density and viscosity of the extract and raffinate phases from the extraction column was also evaluated. It was found that the deterpenation of essential oils by liquid-liquid extraction technology is feasible and can be applied to continuous processes using PRDC column extraction type, for instance, being possible to obtain enriched fractions of oxygenated compounds (linalool).

Nesse trabalho, foram sintetizados seletivamente, a partir do óxido do limoneno em oposição a diversas aminas primárias e secundárias, onze b-aminoálcoois derivados do limoneno através de aquecimento convencional e sob irradiação com microondas, fornecendo produtos com moderados a bons rendimentos. O limoneno e nove destes aminoálcoois foram testados contra ovos e larvas de carrapatos da espécie de Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplusn no intervalo de concentração de 0,150-10mg/mL. Os resultados revelaram que em doses entre 10 μl/ml - 2.5 μl/ml todos os compostos testados foram letais às larvas. Frente ao teste ovicida os compostos 2, 6, 8, 9 e 10 foram os mais ativos, impedindo a eclosão total ou quase total dos ovos na menor dose utilizada (0,150 μg/ml). Este é o primeiro relato da atividade carrapaticida de limoneno, óxido de limoneno e dos b- aminoálcoois do limoneno para a espécie de carrapato Rhipichephalus (Boophilus) microplus. O limoneno e sete β-aminoálcoois foram testatdos in vitro contra forma promastigota de Leishmania (Vianna) braziliensis. Os resultados dos testes mostraram que, dentre os sete β-aminoálcoois testados dois deles foram mais ativos que o padrão pentamidina (48,5 ± 28,7 μM) e cinco foram mais ativos que o limoneno 1. Destes, dois deles (compostos 7 e 9) apresentaram alta atividade frente a formas promastigotas do ciclo parasitário numa concentração de 0,156mg/mL. O Limoneno 1 nesse teste se mostrou inativo (876,2 ± 216 μM) demonstrando que este terpeno isolado não é um bom antiparasitário contra formas promastigotas de Leishmania (Vianna) braziliensis. Este é o primeiro relato de atividade contra leishmania para amino-álcoois derivados do limoneno. / In this work, a series of seven limonene β-amino alcohols derivatives have been regioselectively synthesized from moderate to good yields. The eleven β-amino alcohols Limonene derivatives were synthesized through aminólisis of Limonene oxide, using several primary and secondary amines by both conventional heating and under microwave irradiation. Limonene, Limonene oxide and nine ß-amino alcohol derivatives were investigated for the effect on egg hatchability and mortality rates of newly hatched larvae of cattle tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus. At the doses between 10 μl/ml to 2.5 μl/ml all compounds were highly lethal to the larvae and at lower concentrations some of them (2, 6, 8, 9 and 10) showed activity. The effect on hatchbility of the eggs was observed in all treatments. This is the first report of carrapicide activity for Limonene, Limonene oxide and nine ß-amino alcohol derivatives against cattle tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus. The leishmanicidal activity was performed and according to the results two of these compounds were more powerful against in vitro cultures of Leishmania (Vianna) braziliensis promastigote form in a range of μM. The activities observed for 3b and 3f were about 100 folds more potent than the drug standard Pentamidine, while the limonene hasn’t shown any activity in the same test. This is the first report of antileishmanial activity of Limonene β-amino alcohol derivatives.

Today, the scenario of the world and brazilian energy matrix is of great difficulty, due to increased demand for fossil fuels causing instabilities in prices and in the fuel sector, as well as serious environmental risks to the whole population. The difficult time comes driving the search for new sources of renewable and clean energy such as biogas. In this way, this work aimed to evaluate the anaerobic biodigestion from the residue of agro-industry of citrus using inoculum from swine waste water. We used 12 anaerobic batch type reactors, fed with different concentrations of residues of citrus being inoculated with the swine waste. Were testadas4 citrus residue concentrations (25%, 50%, 75% and 100%) during 60 days. It was observed that the increase in the concentration of residues of citrus caused a decrease in pH and metanogênica activity specifies fact that can be assigned inhibiting substance (D-Limonene) present in citrus peel, which when not undergo a pre-treatment can negatively affect the work of metanogênicas microorganisms. However, the proportion of 25% of citrus residue with 10% p.10536–10540 of swine waste for better production of methane when no pre-treatment of the citrus. / Nos dias atuais, o cenário da matriz energética mundial e brasileira é de grande dificuldade, devido ao aumento da demanda pelos combustíveis fosseis o que causa instabilidades nos preços e no setor dos combustíveis, além de sérios riscos ambientais a toda população. O momento difícil vem impulsionando a procura por novas fontes de energia renováveis e limpas, como o biogás. Desta forma, este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a biodigestão anaeróbia a partir do resíduo da agroindústria do citrus utilizando como inóculo a água residual da suinocultura. Foram utilizados 12 reatores anaeróbios tipo batelada, alimentados com diferentes concentrações de resíduos de citrus sendo inoculadas com dejetos da suinocultura. Foram testadas4 concentrações de resíduo de citrus (25%, 50%, 75% e 100%) durante 60 dias. Foi observado que o aumento da concentração de resíduos de citrus causou uma diminuição do pH e, conseqüentemente atividade metanogênica especifica fato que pode ser atribuído a substância inibidora (D-limoneno) presente na casca do citrus, que quando não passam por um pré-tratamento podem afetar negativamente os trabalhos dos microorganismos metanogênicas. Entretanto, sugere-se a proporção de 25% de resíduo de citrus com 10% de inoculo de dejetos suínos para uma melhor produção de metano quando não houver pré-tratamento do citrus.

Uma possível perda de qualidade dos óleos essenciais pode estar associada à decomposição dos compostos terpênicos, quando submetidos ao aquecimento ou contato com o ar, produzindo odores desagradáveis. A redução do teor dos compostos terpênicos, processo conhecido como desterpenação, pode ser realizada por meio de diversas técnicas. Dentre as inúmeras possibilidades, a extração líquido-líquido tem apresentado resultados bastante promissores. Neste contexto, a presente dissertação de mestrado teve como objetivo a determinação experimental e modelagem do equilíbrio líquido-líquido, a (25,0 ± 0,1) °C, dos sistemas modelo de óleo essencial de bergamota e limão compostos, respectivamente, por: limoneno/ acetato de linalila/ linalol/ etanol/ água e limoneno/ γ- terpineno/ β- pineno/ citral/ etanol/ água. Adicionalmente, as propriedades físicas (viscosidade e densidade) dos sistemas supracitados, bem como dos compostos puros, foram também determinadas. Observou-se que o aumento do teor de água no solvente promoveu uma diminuição da extração do linalol (óleo de bergamota) e citral (óleo de limão), entretanto o maior nível de hidratação do etanol acarretou em aumento da região bifásica e da seletividade do solvente em ambos os sistemas estudados. Os dados experimentais obtidos foram correlacionados utilizando-se os modelos termodinâmicos NRTL e UNIQUAC. Para o sistema de óleo essencial de bergamota, o desvio global obtido foi de 0,43% para o modelo UNIQUAC e 0,52% para o NRTL. No que se refere ao sistema de óleo de limão, a equação NRTL foi a que proporcionou a melhor descrição, apresentando um desvio global de 0,29%, em relação ao modelo UNIQUAC, para o qual o desvio obtido foi de 0,32%. Quanto às propriedades físicas, notou-se que a água não exerce muita influência sobre as propriedades da fase terpênica (fase rica em componentes do óleo essencial); entretanto, na fase solvente observou-se que os valores de densidade e a viscosidade foram aumentados com o aumento do nível de água no etanol. / A possible oil quality loss may be associated to the terpenes compounds decomposition, when heated or exposed to air, producing off -flavors. Terpene partial removal, process known as deterpenation, can be performed using many different techniques. Among these various possibilities, the liquid-liquid extraction has shown successful results. The aim of this work was to determine and correlate the liquid-liquid equilibrium experimental data, using thermodynamic models at (25.0 ± 0.1) ºC for bergamot and lemon essential oils model systems composed respectively of limonene/ linalyl acetate/ linalool/ ethanol/ water and limonene/ γ- terpinene/ β- pinene/ citral/ ethanol/ water. Additionally, physical properties (viscosity and density) of the aforementioned systems and pure compounds were determined. It was observed that the higher water content in the solvent led to a lower linalool (bergamot oil) and citral (lemon oil) extraction. However, the highest level of ethanol hydration enlarged the biphasic region and solvent selectivity for both systems. The experimental data were correlated using the NRTL and UNIQUAC thermodynamic models. For bergamot essential oil system, the global deviation was 0.43% for UNIQUAC and 0.52% for NRTL. The NRTL equation provided a better representation of the lemon oil system, with a global deviation value of 0.29%, compared to the UNIQUAC model with a deviation of 0.32%. It was observed that water does not have a significant effect on the terpene phase (essential oil components rich phase) properties. On the other hand, in the solvent phase, it was observed that a higher water content in the ethanol led to higher density and viscosity values.

Brazil holds a rich biodiversity, and is considered one of the most important mega-diverse countries on the planet. Among the various links that make up this biodiversity Brazilian native flora noteworthy. Despite this, there have been few studies that promote intelligent and rational use of this genetic resource. Domestication and breeding of native plants, including those already known and used by local or regional populations, but without penetration at the national or international market is the great opportunity offered to the countries rich in genetic resources. Medicinal and aromatic plants represent a significant part of this potential market, and the lemongrass-Brazilian species (Lippia alba) is an important example of medicinal and aromatic plant, long used in folk medicine for his duties as soothing, antispasmodic, sedative, and produce various kinds of essential oils can be used by the perfume industry, food and cleaning products, beyond the control of pests and diseases in agriculture. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the genetic variability, genetic parameters and the agronomic behavior of different accesses of L. alba, coming from the metropolitan region of the State of Rio de Janeiro. The experiment was conducted in November 2011 on Medicinal Plants Sector of Agronomy Institute of Rural Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, and crops were obtained in the spring of 2013 and summer of 2014. This study was divided into three chapters: Polymorphism in clones of L. alba coming from the metropolitan area of Rio de Janeiro (Chapter I); Genetic variation for morphological characters in clones of A. alba (Chapter II) and seasonality effect in producing chemotypes of L. alba (Chapter III). In Chapter I the accessions were grouped into dendrogram, five groups being formed and the group I met two similar access (UFRRJLA 17 and UFRRJLA 18). In Chapter II it was shown that the characters analyzed showed variability according to the season (spring or summer) confirming the strong influence of the environment on quantitative variables. The total dry matter and yield were higher in access UFRRJLA05 with citral chemotype, which showed the highest average values in the two seasons in which the data were evaluated. As for the essential oil yield and productivity stood out access UFRRJLA03 with limonene-carvone chemotype, both in spring and in summer. / A biodiversidade, uma das propriedades fundamentais da natureza, ? fonte de imenso potencial de uso econ?mico.

Το π–κυμένιο (p–ισοπρόπυλο τολουόλιο) είναι ένα πολύ σημαντικό προϊόν με μεγάλο εμπορικό ενδιαφέρον, καθώς αποτελεί κύριο συστατικό πολλών καλλυντικών, αρωμάτων, φαρμακευτικών προϊόντων, καθώς και την πρώτη ύλη για την παραγωγή της p–κρεσόλης. Η τρέχουσα διαδικασία παραγωγής του π–κυμενίου είναι η κατά Friedel–Crafts αλκυλίωση του τολουολίου με προπυλένιο ή προπανόλη–2, η οποία χρησιμοποιεί μεγάλες ποσότητες επιβλαβών οξέων, προκαλώντας πολλά προβλήματα χειρισμού στους εργαζόμενους με αυτό, προβλήματα διάβρωσης και προβλήματα διάθεσης των παραγόμενων αποβλήτων. Τα τελευταία χρόνια, η Πράσινη Χημεία έχει παρουσιασθεί ως η νέα προσέγγιση της Χημείας για την πρόληψη της μόλυνσης του περιβάλλοντος, καθώς και του σχεδιασμού χημικών προϊόντων και διεργασιών που είναι περισσότερο φιλικά προς το περιβάλλον. Η κατάλυση αποτελεί μία από τις κύριες αρχές, αλλά ταυτόχρονα και εργαλείο της Πράσινης Χημείας. Πιο συγκεκριμένα η ετερογενής κατάλυση, που εξυπηρετεί τους στόχους της Πράσινης Χημείας, λόγω της εξάλειψης της ανάγκης διαχωρισμού του παραγόμενου προϊόντος από τον καταλύτη. Επίσης, μία άλλη βασική παράμετρος της Πράσινης Χημείας είναι η χρήση της βιομάζας, ως ανανεώσιμη πρώτη ύλη, με σκοπό την παραγωγή ενέργειας και χημικών προϊόντων. Στην παρούσα εργασία, μελετάται η δυνατότητα καταλυτικής παραγωγής π–κυμενίου, βασιζόμενη στις αρχές της Πράσινης Χημείας. Για το σκοπό αυτό χρησιμοποιείται ως αντιδρών το α–λεμονένιο, ένα μονοτερπένιο το οποίο αποτελεί ανανεώσιμη πρώτη ύλη, καθώς είναι παραπροϊόν της βιομηχανίας χυμών λεμονιού και πορτοκαλιού, καθώς και της βιομηχανίας χάρτου και πολτού. Πιο αναλυτικά, μελετήθηκε η καταλυτική συμπεριφορά οξειδίων με μεγάλη ειδική επιφάνεια, όπως η SiO2, το MCM–41, ο ζεόλιθος NaY, η γ–Al2O3 και δύο δείγματα TiO2, με διαφορετικές ειδικές επιφάνειες, στην αντίδραση μετατροπής του λεμονενίου προς π–κυμένιο. Επίσης, ερευνήθηκε η επίδραση στη διεργασία τόσο της θερμοκρασίας της αντίδρασης, όσο και της σύστασης της ατμόσφαιρας κάτω από την οποία διεξαγόταν η αντίδραση. Τα πειράματα διεξήχθησαν σε αντιδραστήρα σταθερής κλίνης – ατμοσφαιρικής πίεσης, ενώ για την ανάλυση των λαμβανόμενων προϊόντων χρησιμοποιήθηκε αέριος χρωματογράφος – φασματογράφος μάζας (GC–MS). Από τους καταλύτες που μελετήθηκαν ο πιο αποτελεσματικός αποδείχθηκε η τιτάνια με τη σχετικά μεγάλη ειδική επιφάνεια ακολουθούμενη από την τιτάνια με την χαμηλότερη ειδική επιφάνεια, τον ζεόλιθο NaY και τη γ–Al2O3. Τόσο η σίλικα όσο και το MCM–41 παρουσίασαν μάλλον αμελητέα δραστικότητα. Επίσης, παρατηρήθηκε ότι η απόδοση σε π–κυμένιο αυξανόταν γενικά με τη θερμοκρασία, ενώ δεν επηρεαζόταν πρακτικά από την ατμόσφαιρα που διεξαγόταν η αντίδραση. Τέλος, στους 300 οC και χρησιμοποιώντας την τιτάνια με τη σχετικά μεγάλη ειδική επιφάνεια ως καταλύτη επιτεύχθηκε 90% απόδοση για το π–κυμένιο και 100% μετατροπή για το λεμονένιο. Η αυξημένη απόδοση της τιτάνιας αποδόθηκε σε επιτυχή συγκερασμό ανάμεσα στη σχετικά μεγάλη οξύτητα Brönsted και στη σχετικά εύκολη μεταβολή του λόγου Ti(IV)/Ti(III) κατά τη διάρκεια της αντίδρασης. Τα κινητικά αποτελέσματα επέτρεψαν να γραφεί ένα κινητικό σχήμα για τη διεργασία. / P–cymene is a very important product with great commercial interest because of its use as a main ingredient of cosmetics, perfumes and pharmaceutical products as well as raw material for the production of p–cresol. Current production is achieved by using the Friedel–Crafts reaction of toluene with propylene or propanol–2 which uses large quantities of harmful acids which, in turn, leads to industrial accidents, corrosion problems and the general difficulty of handling toxic wastes. A new concept of chemistry has been developed for confronting environmental problems. Green Chemistry is related to products and processes that are environmentally friendly. One of the basic tools of Green Chemistry is catalysis, mainly heterogeneous catalysis, because it allows the easy separation of the catalysts used from the final product. Moreover, following the principles of the Green Chemistry, biomass should be used in the production of renewable energy and chemical products. The present Thesis deals with the catalytic production of p–cymene based on the principles of Green Chemistry. In particular, we use a–limonene, by–product of the juice of orange and lemon industry as well as the paper industry, to produce p–cymene. A number of oxides with large specific surface area, such as SiO2, MCM–41, zeolite NaY, γ–Al2O3 and two samples of TiO2, were studied as catalysts. The effect of the reaction temperature and the composition of the atmosphere were also studied. All experiments were conducted on a fixed bed micro–reactor operating under atmospheric pressure coupled with an on–line Gas Chromatograph–Mass Spectrometer (GC – MS). The titania with the relatively high specific surface area was proved to be the most efficient catalyst among those studied. The following activity series has been obtained: «high surface area titania > small surface area titania > zeolite NaY > γ–Al2O3 > MCM–41 > SiO2». Negligible activity is exhibited by MCM–41 and SiO2. The percentage yield for p–cymene increases with temperature whereas is practically independent from the carrier gas. Very high percentage yield for p–cymene was obtained at 300οC over the high specific surface area titania (~90%). Complete transformation of a–limonene was obtained over the above catalyst at the same temperature. The very high activity obtained over this catalyst was attributed to good compromise between high acidity and easy transformation of the ratio Ti(IV)/Ti(III) during reaction. The kinetic results allow the clarification of the reaction scheme.

A number of Lippia species can be found in the Caatinga biome in Northeastern Brazil, such as Lippia bromelyana Moldenke, endemic to the state of Bahia. This study investigated the chemical composition, acute toxicity, antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory effect of the leaf essential oil of L. bromelyana (EOLB) in mice.The chemical composition of EOLB, assessed by gas chromatography with flame ionization detection (GC/FID) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS), detected limonene (29.90%) and piperitenone oxide (26.91%) as major compounds. Intraperitoneal administration of 300 mg/kg of EOLB caused no acute toxic effects or deaths in the mice. At doses of 75, 150 and 300 mg/kg caused no changes in their motor activity in the rotarod test, but promoted a significant antinociceptive effect on abdominal contortions in the acetic acid-induced constriction test, in both phases of the formalin test, glutamate or cinnamaldehyde-induced nociception tests and the Randall-Selitto test. In the hot plate test, EOLB (150 or 300 mg/kg) increased latency at 30, 60 and 120 min after administration; at a dose of 300 mg/kg, the action reversed by naloxone suggests participation of the opioid pathway. Moreover, EOLB (75, 150 or 300 mg/kg) significantly reduced the inflammatory effect of carrageenan in the paw edema test. Thus, these results suggest that EOLB promotes antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activity by central and peripheral action. / Plantas arom?ticas do g?nero Lippia (Verbenaceae) s?o muito utilizadas pela medicina tradicional no tratamento de dist?rbios relacionados ao sistema respirat?rio e a problemas gastrointestinais. Algumas esp?cies de Lippia podem ser encontradas na caatinga, localizado na regi?o Nordeste do Brasil. Dentre essas esp?cies Lippia bromelyana Moldenke, ? end?mica do estado da Bahia. Este trabalho procurou investigar a composi??o qu?mica, o efeito t?xico agudo, antinociceptivo e anti-inflamat?rio do ?leo essencial das folhas de L. bromelyana (OELB) em camundongos. A composi??o qu?mica do OELB avaliada por CG/EM e CG/DIC, detectou limoneno (29,90%) e ?xido de piperitenona (26,91%) como compostos majorit?rios. A administra??o intraperitoneal do OELB na dose 300 mg/kg n?o causou efeitos t?xicos agudos nem mortes nos camundongos. Nas doses 75, 150 ou 300 mg/kg OELB n?o causou altera??es na atividade motora dos camundongos no teste do rota-rod, mas promoveu significante efeito antinociceptivo no teste de contor??es abdominais induzidas por ?cido ac?tico, em ambas as fases do teste da formalina, nos testes de nocicep??o induzida por glutamato ou cinamalde?do e no teste de Randall-Selitto. No teste da placa quente, OELB (150 ou 300 mg/kg) provocou o aumento na lat?ncia aos 30, 60 e 120 min ap?s sua administra??o; na dose 300 mg/kg a a??o do OELB revertida pela naloxona, sugere a participa??o da via opi?ide. Al?m disso, OELB (75, 150 ou 300 mg/kg) reduziu significativamente o efeito inflamat?rio da carragenina no teste de edema de pata. Esses resultados sugerem, portanto, que OELB promove a??o antinociceptiva e anti-inflamatoria por a??o central e perif?rica.
