Atualmente o consumo de xarope de maltose vem crescendo devido ao seu uso em cervejarias e está substituindo progressivamente os adjuntos amiláceos. O xarope de maltose é, tradicionalmente, produzido por meio da hidrólise ácida e/ou enzimática de amido ou flocos de milho. Este trabalho teve como objetivo analisar a possibilidade de obtenção de maltose a partir de outras matérias-primas amiláceas como a mandioca e a puba (produto derivado da fermentação da mandioca) pela ação da a-amilase bacteriana e da a-amilase fúngica sem que fosse necessária a extração do amido. Amostras de mandioca e puba com 10, 20 e 30% de sólidos foram incubadas com a-amilase bacteriana termoestável durante 10, 20 e 30 minutos a 80 0 C, adicionando-se em seguida, µ-amilase fúngica e incubando-se as amostras durante 48 horas a 55 0 C. O grau de sacarificação, expresso em dextrose equivalente (DE), foi determinado pelo método DNS em vários intervalos de tempo. Glicose e maltose foram determinadas por HPLC após 48 horas de sacarificação. Os resultados mostraram que o tempo de ação da a-amilase bacteriana não causou diferenças significativas no grau de hidrólise entre as amostras, mas a concentração de sólidos influiu significativamente no grau da liquefação das amostras. O comportamento das curvas do grau de sacarificação foi semelhante para todos os tratamentos tanto da mandioca quanto da puba. O conteúdo de maltose nas amostras variou entre 30-60% e a glicose entre 0-10% caracterizando um xarope com alto teor de maltose. A eficiência de hidrólise ficou abaixo do esperado. Entretanto, esse fato pode ser explicado pela utilização da mandioca sem extração prévia do amido e pelas dificuldades na extração dos sólidos por centrifugação. Pode-se afirmar que tanto a mandioca quanto à puba podem ser utilizadas como matéria prima em substituição ao milho na obtenção de xarope de maltose através da hidrólise enzimática. A puba, porém, é de mais fácil manuseio sendo que o tratamento com 20% de sólidos, exposto durante 10 minutos a a-amilase bacteriana proporcionou maior rendimento, atingindo 4,2 kg de maltose e 0,3 kg de glicose por 100 kg de mandioca fresca além de proporcionar menor quantidade de resíduo sólidos de 13,7 kg. / Nowadays the consumption of maltose syrups is increasing due to its utilization in breweries where it replaces starch adjuncts. Traditionally maltose syrup has been produced from cornstarch or pellets using acid and/or enzymatic hydrolysis. The objective of this work was to evaluate the possibility of obtaining maltose from starch sources other than maize, such as cassava roots or puba, a fermented cassava product, without extraction of the starch, using bacterial a-amylase and fungal a-amylase for starch hydrolysis. Cassava and puba samples with 10, 20 and 30% dry matter were incubated with termostable bacterial a-amylase for 10, 20 and 30 minutes at 80 0 C, followed by the addition of fungal a-amylase. The samples were incubated for 48 hours at 55 0 C. The degree of saccharification, expressed as dextrose equivalent (DE), was determined by the DNS method. The glucose and maltose contents of the hydrolysate were determined after 48 hours by HPLC. The results showed that the time of action of a-amylase did not influence the degree of saccharification of the samples but the solids concentration significantly affected the hydrolysis degree. The saccharification degree curves were similar for both cassava and puba. The maltose content of the samples varied between 30-60% and the glucose content between 0-10%, which characterized them as "High maltose syrups". The hydrolysis efficiency was lower than expected. However, this fact could be explained by the use of cassava without extraction of the starch and by the difficulty of extracting the solids by centrifugation. It was concluded that for replacement of corn starch, both cassava roots and puba could be used as raw materials for maltose syrup production by enzymatic hydrolysis. However the puba was easier to handle than cassava. The puba treatment consisting of 20% of solids and 10 minutes exposure to a-amylase gave the highest yield reaching 4.2 kg of maltose and 0.3 kg of glucose per 100 kg of raw cassava, in addition to a lower solids residue of 13.7 kg.

Weak affinity interaction of monoclonal antibodies and carbohydrate antigens can be detected and quantified by alterations in the antibodies' intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence. These weak/transient binding events have been monitored by total internal reflection fluorescence (TlRF) by facilitating the change in intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence. This immunosensor followed instant changes in the antigen concentration with rapid association- and dissociation rate constants reaching equilibrium in a short time, without the need for regeneration. Furthermore, in a competition assay with extrinsic fluorescence labeling, it was established that Förster/fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) can be applied for weak and transient interactions. By entrapping components in small semipermeable capsules, aconvenient flow system was fabricated allowing on-line measurements of maltose. Quantification of maltose concentration was achievable in the mM-range without need for regeneration.High specificty for maltose was exhibited in crude food-samples with quantification in accordance with batch analysis. Furthermore, a monoclonal antibody was developed for potential use as a glucose immunosensor for diabetes. Its ability to interact with glucose was determined by competitive weak affinity chromatography (WAC) to approximately 19 mM in dissociation constant. This antibody was developed to bind monosaccharides, especially glucose, by utilizing crossreation with a carbohydrate dextran polymer. Selectivity for glucose was greater than for the similar monosaccharides, mannose and galactose. This antibody, or a fragment, in a fluorescence platform is an alternative to monitor glucose in vivo where other glucose-binders might fail. / Att känna igen en motståndare är viktigt i många sammanhang, inte minst i kroppens immunförsvar som är utvecklat för att angripa främmande ämnen i kroppen. Antikroppen spelar en central roll i immunförsvaret där den lär sig att känna igen sin motståndare (antigen) och därmed binda sitt antigen. De antikroppsproducerande cellerna kan användas i laboratoriet för att producera antikroppar som härstammar från försöksdjur. I denna avhandling har antikroppar använts som binder betydligt svagare till antigenet än vad man i de flesta analyser använder sig av för att t.ex. detektera sjukdomar. Antikroppar som binder till olika typer av socker, däribland maltsocker (maltos) och blodsocker (glukos) har studerats. Dessa antikroppar har använts för att undersöka hur hårt de binder till sitt antigen beroende på temperatur och om antikropparna kan känna igen liknande motståndare (korsreaktivitet). Fördelen med dessa svaga bindningar är att antikroppen snabbt kan binda in och släppa sitt antigen istället för att nästan permanent sitta på sitt antigen, som vid starka bindningar. Bindningens styrka (affinitet) har i avhandlingen studerats med hjälp av fluorescensteknik och affinitets-separation. Den maltosbindande antikroppen har använts tillsammans med fluorescensteknik för att designa två olika biosensorer (immunosensorer). Immunosensorerna kan mäta förändringen av maltoskoncentration över tid, vilket är attraktivt i t.ex. livsmedelsindustrin när man vill mäta maltoshalten kontinuerligt under tillverkningen. Den glukosbindande antikroppen har använts i affinitets-separation för att bestämma dess affinitet mot glukos och olika polymerer av glukos. En glukosbindande antikropp är åtråvärt för att t.ex. kontinuerligt mäta koncentrationen av blodsocker genom huden hos diabetiker och därmed minska antalet blodprover man idag behöver ta.

Neste grupo enquadram-se os adoçantes que aditam sabores a produtos que são demandados por consumidores específicos. Atualmente o açúcar mais utilizado no Brasil é a sacarose, produto extraído da cana-de-açúcar, e o mais utilizado mundialmente é a frutose obtida a partir da hidrólise do milho e posterior isomerização da glicose para frutose. A frutose apresenta capacidade edulcorante 30% maior que a sacarose, 2,5 vezes maior que a glicose e 2 vezes mais solúvel que a glicose, com isso, pode ser utilizada em menor quantidade, diminuindo o poder calórico do alimento e viabilizando sua utilização no tratamento da obesidade. Levando em consideração a importância dos adoçantes para o mercado de alimentos, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo realizar estudos sobre o processo de obtenção da frutose a partir de amido de mandioca. Para a execução dos ensaios utilizou-se fontes comerciais de α– amilase e amiloglucosidase, Liquozyme Supra 2.2X e Saczyme 750 AGUg-1, respectivamente, aplicadas em substrato de amido de mandioca em reator agitado com temperatura controlada. Após o processo de hidrólise enzimática, o hidrolisado passou por um processo de purificação utilizando terra diatomácea e carvão ativado em quatro temperaturas (30, 40, 50 e 60°C), com a finalidade de remoção de contaminantes originários da matéria prima, que levam a odor, cor e sabores indesejáveis. Após o tratamento com carvão ativo e terra diatomácea foram realizados ensaios para estabelecer os melhores parâmetros para a realização do processo de isomerização, buscando a conversão de parte da glicose à frutose, utilizando a enzima... / The products of starch hydrolyses are glucose, maltose and a series of oligosaccharides and polysaccharides which have their main utilization in food industry. This group comprises sweeteners that add flavor to products demanded by specific consumers. Currently the most used sugar in Brazil is sucrose, a product extracted from sugarcane, while the most used sugar worldwide is fructose obtained from maize hydrolysis and subsequent glucose isomerization to fructose. The sweetening capacity of fructose is 30% higher than that of sucrose and 2.5-fold higher than that of glucose; in addition, fructose is 2-fold more soluble than glucose and thus can be used in smaller quantities, decreasing the food’s caloric potential and making its use viable in obesity treatment. Considering the importance of sweeteners for the food market, the present study aimed to investigate the process of fructose production from cassava starch. The assays were performed by using commercial sources of α–amylase and amyloglucosidase, Liquozyme Supra 2.2X and Saczyme 750 AGUg-1, respectively, applied to cassava starch substrate in an agitated reactor at controlled temperature. Following the process of enzymatic hydrolysis, the hydrolysate underwent a purification process using diatomaceous earth and activated charcoal at four temperatures (30, 40, 50 and 60°C), in order to remove contaminants originated from the raw material, which lead to undesirable smell, color and flavor. After the treatment with activated charcoal and diatomaceous earth, assays were carried out to establish the best parameters for the isomerization process, aiming at the conversion of part of glucose into fructose, using the enzyme isomerase. The process selected for the studies was in a continuous system where the glucose syrup, previously purified, was continuously pumped... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

This master's thesis deals with the optimalization of HPLC-ELSD method for the determination of carbohydrates in food. The theoretical part focuses on the classification and characterization of carbohydrates, the occurrence of carbohydrates in food and their physiological importance. There was targeted mainly glucose, fructose, sucrose and maltose. There is a brief summary of the analytical methods that can be used to determine carbohydrates. Experimental part is based on a literary review. It also deals with high performance liquid chromatography with evaporative light scattering detector. The main content in this part is the optimalization of condition for reliable and rapid separation of the most frequently occurring carbohydrates in foods. The carbohydrates were identified and quantified under optimum condition in real samples specifically in fruit juice, beer, ketchup and red pepper powder. The result is commented in conclusion.

Five strains of Lactobacillus plantarum and four strains of Lactobacillus species isolated from fresh meat were examined for the presence of plasmid DNA. All strains examined contained between one and five plasmids ranging in molecular mass from 1.3 to 51.6 (Mdal). Plasmid-curing experiments suggest that maltose utilization is associated with a 51 Mdal plasmid in Lactobacillus sp. DB29 and 42 Mdal plasmids in Lactobacillus spp. DB27, DB28, DB31. Southern blot DNA-DNA hybridization showed homology between the maltose plasmid from Lactobacillus sp. DB29 and several plasmids from the other Lactobacillus spp.

Nous avons étudié le couplage dépliement-transport de la Maltose Binding Protein (MBP ou MalE), une protéine périplasmique d'E. Coli et d'un mutant instable, le MalE219, en fonction de la concentration d'un agent dénaturant, le chlorure de guanidium (GdnHCl) à l'échelle de la molécule unique. La technique utilisée est basée sur la détection électrique du transport de macromolécules à travers un nanopore protéique (l'Aérolysine d'Aeromonas Hydrophila) inséré dans une bicouche lipidique plane. Les résultats obtenus ont été comparés à ceux obtenus lors d'une précédente étude réalisée à travers un autre nanopore protéique, l'alpha-hémolysine du Staphylocoque doré, de géométrie et de charge nette différente. Nous avons montré l'existence de temps courts et longs de blocage du courant associés à des protéines dépliées ou partiellement repliées. La fréquence des blocages du courant permet d'obtenir la fraction de protéine dépliée passant à travers le pore en fonction de la concentration en GdnHCl. Les courbes de dénaturation obtenues avec les deux pores montrent un comportement sigmoïdale très similaire. Le type de pore n'influence donc pas la dénaturation des protéines, mais uniquement leur dynamique de transport. En revanche, la courbe de dénaturation du mutant instable présente un déplacement vers les concentrations plus faibles en GdnHCl. Il a été montré également que la présence du maltose comme ligand sur le MalE219 stabilise nettement sa structure. Pour La MBP, les temps de blocages longs diminuent avec l'augmentation de la concentration de GdnHCl montrant une dynamique de transition vitreuse . Cette technique est appropriée à l'étude du dépliement et des changements de conformation de protéines, mais ne permet pas d'obtenir des informations structurales sur les états intermédiaires de repliement. Ainsi, la spectroscopie RMN a été utilisée pour tenter de caractériser ces états intermédiaires de repliement, notamment par la méthode d'échange proton-deutérium. Elle consiste à suivre les cinétiques d'échange des résidus de la protéine sur des spectres 2D 1H-15N HSQC à différentes concentrations de GdnHCl.Ainsi 180 résidus sur les 370 que compte la MBP ont été suivis lors de la dénaturation en présence de GdnHCl. Les deux hélices en C-terminal sont très accessibles au solvant et se dénaturent facilement. La MBP est composée de deux domaines globulaires, le domaine N-ter et le domaine C-ter. Les éléments de structures secondaires situés dans la zone intermédiaire entre les deux domaines (principalement des brins β) sont particulièrement affectés par l'agent dénaturant. D'autres structures secondaires dans les domaines globulaires sont très protégées et plutôt stables. Il est donc proposé que les protéines partiellement dépliées s'insèrent dans le pore par l'extrémité C-terminal et que des parties de structuration tertiaire restent stable entraînant le blocage du pore. / We study the unfolding-transport mechanism of the Maltose Binding Protein (MBP or MalE), a periplasm protein of E. Coli and a destabilised variant, the MalE219, as the function of the concentration of denaturing agent, Guanidine Hydrochloride(GdnHCl) at the single molecule level. The technique is based on the electrical detection of the macromolecule transport through a nanometer-scale channel, Aerolysin channel, inserted into a planar lipid bilayer. Results obtained were compared to previous data with another channel, the alpha-Hemolysin. Both channels have different geometry and net charge.We show that we can distinguish unfolded states from partially folded ones with aerolysin pore.Unfolded proteins induce short current blockades, their duration is constant as a function of the concentration of denaturing agent. Partially folded proteins exhibit long blockades whose life times decrease as the concentration of GdnHCl increase, this indicates a possible glassy dynamics.The frequency of the short current blockades increases as the concentration of denaturing agent increases, following a sigmoidal denaturation curve.The unfolding curve of native MBP with Aerolysin pore is similar to the one previously measured with Hemolysin channel. The denaturation curve of the destabilized variant obtained with Aerolysin is shifted towards lower value of GdnHCl concentration in agreement with bulk measurements. We show also that the addition of maltose stabilizes the structure of MalE219. This nanopore recording technique is also suitable for the study of unfolding and conformation changes of proteins.In order to obtain structural informations that nanopore recording cannot provides, the structure of MBP along its denaturation curve was studied by NMR spectroscopy. The Hydrogen-exchange method known to be sensitive to folding intermediates was specially used. It consists in tracking hydrogen-deuterium exchange rates for amino on the 2D 1H-15N HSQC spectra.Thus, 180 residus of 370 for MBP was followed during denaturation in the presence of GdnHCl. The two last helices in C-terminal of MBP are accessible to the solvent and are denaturated easily. MBP is a two domains protein, N-ter domain and C-ter domain. It was found out that the C- and D-domain of MBP (mainly alpha-helices) could be relatively stable in presence of denaturing agent and that beta strands which make the link between the two domains would be affected by the denaturing agent. It was proposed that partially unfolded proteins enter the pore by the C-terminal end and that stable tertiary structure still present block the pore.

O presente trabalho teve o objetivo de verificar a influência da inoculação de ingredientes intra ovo aos 18 dias de incubação de ovos oriundos de matrizes jovens e de pesos distintos. Ovos oriundos de matrizes com 30 semanas de idade foram separados em ovos leves e pesados, sendo incubados na mesma máquina incubadora. Aos 18 dias de incubação, no momento da transferência para o nascedouro, os ovos foram inoculados com soluções de Maltose, Polivitamínico, Zinco-Glicina, Glutamina, Mistura de todos os produtos descritos anteriormente e Cloreto de Sódio (controle). Como via de inoculação, as soluções foram utilizadas como diluentes da vacina de Marek efetuada intra-ovo aos 18 dias de incubação. Após o nascimento, 2460 pintinhos machos foram enviados para o aviário experimental onde foram divididos em 60 boxes em um delineamento inteiramente casualizado em esquema fatorial 2x6 (2 pesos e 6 soluções) totalizando 12 tratamentos com 5 repetições de 40 aves. Foram sacrificadas uma ave por repetição aos 00, 07 e 21 dias de idade para pesagem do saco da gema, intestino e fígado. Amostras de duodeno, jejuno e íleo foram enviadas para histologia para determinação de profundidade de criptas e altura de vilosidades. Amostras de sangue foram coletadas e enviadas para laboratório para determinação de nível de anticorpos contra reovírus e bronquite aviária. Os animais e a ração fornecida foram pesados semanalmente (07, 14, 21, 28, 35 e 42 dias) para determinação do peso, consumo e conversão alimentar. Aos 43 dias de idade 3 aves por repetição foram pesadas e sacrificadas para determinação do peso e rendimento de carcaça, peito com osso e pele e perna com osso e pele. Animais oriundos de ovos mais pesados obtiveram uma maior eclosão, peso ao nascimento e peso de fígado e intestino aos 00 dias. O peso aos 42 dias foi superior em aves oriundas de ovos pesados, produzindo uma carcaça e peito mais pesado, porém sem diferença de rendimento. Não houve diferença de conversão aos 42 dias de idade. Viabilidade de animais oriundos de ovos pesados foi superior de 00 a 07, 14 a 21 e 21 a 28 dias de idade, mas não afetou a viabilidade final. Peso do ovo não interferiu com o nível de anticorpos. As inoculações de soluções aos 18 dias de incubação obtiveram resultados variáveis dependendo do produto utilizado, tendo maior influência sobre altura de vilosidades e profundidade de criptas e sobre a produção de anticorpos. Não afetaram, entretanto, os parâmetros zootécnicos (ganho de peso, consumo de ração, conversão alimentar e viabilidade). A inoculação de produtos intra-ovo já é uma técnica possível de ser utilizada na avicultura industrial, entretanto, novos estudos devem ser ainda desenvolvidos no intuito de definir o melhor produto ou composto de produtos a ser utilizado / This trial had the objective to verify the influence of the in-ovo inoculation of ingredients at 18th day of incubation of eggs from different weights. Eggs from a broiler breeder flock with 30 weeks of age were separated in light and heavy eggs and were incubated in the same machine. At the 18th day of incubation, when the eggs were been transferred, they were inoculated with solutions of Maltose, Vitamins, Zinc-Glicine, Glutamine, mixture of all the ingredients and sodium chloride (control). The solutions were inoculated as Marek\'s vaccine diluter. After the eclosion, 2460 male chicks were send to the experimental house were they were divided on 60 boxes at a completely random design and a factorial 2x6 (two egg weigths and six solutions) design, summing 12 treatments with 5 repetitions of 40 chicks. One chick per repetition was sacrificed at 00, 07 and 21 days of age to weigth the yolk sac, intestine and liver. Samples of duodenum, jejunum and ileum were sent to histology to determinate villus high and cripts deep. Blood sample of the same birds were collected and sent to the laboratory to determinate anti body levels against reovirus and avian bronquitis. Animals and feed were weighted every week to determine the animal weight gain, feed consumption and feed conversion. At 43 days of age, 3 birds per repetition were weighted and sacrificed to determinate the carcass, breast and leg weight and yield. Animals from heavy eggs had a higher born weight, eclosion and liver and intestine weight at 00 days. At 42 days of age, birds from heavier eggs had a higher weight producing a heavier carcass and breast, but without yield variation. There was no difference on feed conversion at 42 days. Liveability of birds from heavier eggs were higher form 00 to 07, 14 to 21 and 21 to 28 days of age, but it didn\'t interfere the total livibility. Egg weight didn\'t interfere on the anti body level. The solutions inoculated at 18th day of incubation had variable results depending on the product utilized, influencing the villus height and cripts deep and anti body production. However, the solutions inoculation doesn\'t interfere on zoothecnical parameters as weight gain, feed consumption, feed conversion and livability. The in-ovo inoculation is a technique possible to be used on broiler production, however, new studies have to be done searching from the best product or ingredient to be used
