ANÁLISE DA VISCOSIDADE E SUA CORRELAÇÃO COM OS CONSTITUINTES DOS VINHOS FINOS DA REGIÃO DA CAMPANHA / ANALYSIS OF VISCOSITY AND ITS CORRELATION WITH THE CONSTITUENTS OF THE FINE WINES FROM REGION OF CAMPANHA

Schirmer, Velcir Rubenich 30 August 2013 (has links)
Rio Grande do Sul is the largest producer in Brazil, it produced about 90% of the wine national in 2011. Among the wine sector of the state, Region of Campanha has been standing out in the production of fine wines. The color, aroma, flavor, body and the phenolic composition are quality attributes of the wines, and the viscosity property is the one that correlated the most with the body of the wine. The ethanol concentration has correlation with the viscosity of the wine, but also with other constituents of it. This study aims to compare the physical and chemical characteristics, phenolic compounds and viscosity of the fine wines, white and red. Furthermore, correlate the viscosity in relation to the varieties that are being studied. We analyzed a total of 26 commercial wines from Region of Campanha. Significant differences existed among the finest red and white wines for pH, total acidity and dry extract, reducing sugars and phenolic compounds. However, no significant difference to the alcohol content and viscosity. To be carried out the correlation between the viscosity and the parameters analyzed for fine wines reds strong correlation was observed between the viscosity and the parameters of alcohol content and dry extract. In fine white wines, the pH showed a weak correlation, the dry extract a moderate correlation and the alcohol content was a highly significant correlation From the measured results, it was possible to contribute with a pioneering study of the determination of viscosity as well as to produce relevant information to the characterization of the wines from Region of Campanha. / O Rio Grande do Sul é o maior produtor de vinhos do Brasil, em 2011 produziu cerca de 90% dos vinhos nacionais. Das regiões vitivinícolas do Estado, a Região da Campanha vem se destacando na produção de vinhos finos. Cor, aroma, sabor, corpo e a composição fenólica são atributos de qualidade dos vinhos, sendo a viscosidade a propriedade que mais se correlaciona com o corpo do vinho. A concentração de etanol possui correlação com a viscosidade dos vinhos, mas outros constituintes também. Este estudo teve como objetivo comparar algumas características químicas, físico-químicas, compostos fenólicos e a viscosidade em vinhos finos tintos e brancos. Fazendo uma correlação entre a viscosidade e as variáveis em estudo. Foi analisado um total de 26 vinhos comerciais provenientes da Região da Campanha, RS. Existiu diferenças significativas entre os vinhos tintos e brancos para o pH, acidez total, extrato seco, açúcares redutores e compostos fenólicos. Porém, não ocorreu diferença significativa para o teor de álcool e para a viscosidade. Ao ser realizada a correlação entre a viscosidade e os parâmetros analisados para os vinhos finos tintos foi encontrada correlação significativa forte entre a viscosidade e os parâmetros de teor de álcool e extrato seco. Nos vinhos finos brancos, o pH apresentou uma fraca correlação, o extrato seco uma moderada correlação e para o teor de álcool ocorreu uma correlação altamente significativa. A partir dos resultados mensurados, foi possível contribuir com um estudo pioneiro da determinação da viscosidade bem como produzir informações relevantes para a caracterização dos vinhos da Região da Campanha.

STRUCTURE AND PROPERTIES OF CRUCIFERIN: INVESTIGATION OF HOMOHEXAMERIC CRUCIFERIN EXPRESSED IN ARABIDOPSIS

2013 June 1900 (has links)
The structure of 11S cruciferin has been solved; however, how the individual subunits contribute to its physico-chemical and functional properties are not well known. The cruciferin isoforms in Arabidopsis thaliana, CRUA, CRUB, and CRUC, were investigated with respect to their molecular structures and the relationship of structural features to the physico-chemical and functional properties of cruciferin using homology modeling and various analytical techniques. Comparison of these models revealed that hydrophobicity and electrostatic potential distribution on the surface of the CRUC homotrimer had more favorable interfacial, solubility, and thermal properties than those of CRUA or CRUB. Flavor binding and pepsin digestion were associated with hypervariable regions (HVRs) and center core regions, respectively, moreso for CRUA and CRUB homotrimers than for CRUC. Chemical imaging of a single cell area in wild type (WT) and double-knockout seeds (CRUAbc, CRUaBc, and CRUabC) using synchrotron FT-IR microscopy (amide I band, 1650 cm-1, νC=O) showed that seed storage proteins were concentrated in the cell center and protein storage vacuoles, whereas lipids were closer to the cell wall. Secondary structure components of proteins of double-knockout lines did not show major differences. Changes in protein secondary structure components of pepsin-treated CRUabC (CRUC) mutant were minimal, indicating low enzyme accessibility. A three-step chromatographic procedure allowed isolation of the hexameric form of cruciferin with high purity (>95%). Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopic analysis of the secondary structure of these proteins revealed cruciferins were folded into higher order secondary structures; 44−50% β-sheets and 7−9% α-helices. The relative subunit ratio was approximately 1:3:6 (CRUA:CRUB:CRUC) in the WT cruciferin. The Tm values of purified cruciferin at pH 7.4 (μ = 0.0) were in the order of WT = CRUA = CRUB < CRUC. The order of surface hydrophobicity as determined by ANS (1-anilinonaphthalene-8-sulfonate) probe binding was CRUA > CRUB = WT >> CRUC. Intrinsic fluorescence studies revealed a compact molecular structure for the CRUC homohexamer compared to the CRUA and CRUB homohexamers. The order of emulsion forming abilities was CRUA = CRUB > WT > CRUC (no emulsion formation) and the order of heat-induced network structure strength was WT > CRUA = CRUB > CRUC (no gel formation). The inability of CRUC to form gels or emulsions may be attributed to its low surface hydrophobicity and molecular compactness. At pH 2.0, CRUC hexamers dissociated into trimers which allowed the formation of an O/W emulsion and heat-induced network structures. Solubility of cruciferin as a function of pH at low ionic strength gave two minima around pH 4 and 7.4 yielding a “W” shape solubility profile deviating from the typical “U” or “V” shape solubility profile of other 11S globulins. The high ionic strength (μ = 0.5) was not favorable for emulsification, heat-induced gel formation, or solubilization for all cruciferins. Furthermore, the CRUA and CRUB homohexamers exhibited rapid pepsinolysis, while the CRUC homohexamer and WT heterohexamer were digested more slowly. Although fairly well conserved regions were found in the primary structure of these three cruciferin subunits, differences were found in the hypervariable regions and extended loop regions resulting in slight differences in 3D structures and interactions that occur during association to form superstructures, such as hexamers. These differences were reflected in the physico-chemical and techno-functional properties of hexamers and trimers composed of each subunit. In silico predictions for certain functionalities were highly correlated with empirical data from laboratory experiments.

Iličić Mirela 26 May 2010 (has links)
<p>U okviru doktorske disertacije ispitana je mogućnost proizvodnje<br />fermentisanog mlečnog napitka uz primenu različitih vrsta i koncentracija<br />nekonvencionalnog startera čajne gljive: a) nativnog inokuluma-I<br />(10% i 15%) b) koncentrovanog mikrofiltracijom - MFI (10% i 15%) i c)<br />koncentrovanog uparavanjem - UPI (1,5%, 3,0%, 10% i 15%). Varijante<br />fermentisanog mlečnog napitka dobijene su kori&scaron;ćenjem mleka sa 0,9%<br />i 2,2% mlečne masti. Za pobolj&scaron;anje fizičko-hemijskih i teksturalnih<br />karakteristika proizvoda u mleko pre inokulacije dodato je 0,02% enzima<br />transglutaminaze (aktiviran na 40&deg;C, a posle 2 sata je inaktiviran na<br />80&deg;C, 1 minut). Fermentacija mleka (pri temperaturi 42&deg;C) uz kori&scaron;ćenje<br />inokuluma čajne gljive praćena je do postizanja pH vrednosti 4,5.<br />Nakon proizvodnje analizirana je nutritivna vrednost fermentisanih<br />mlečnih napitaka: sadržaj masti, proteina, laktoze, galaktoze, glukoze,<br />fruktoze, mlečne i sirćetne kiseline, etanola, vitamina (B1, B2, B6 i<br />C), minerala (Ca, Mg, K, Na, Pb, Cd, Cu, Zn) i masnih kiselina. Sadržaj<br />odabranih komponenata u napicima praćen je tokom 10 dana skladi&scaron;tenja.<br />Fizičko-hemijske osobine (kiselost, sinerezis i sposobnost vezivanja<br />vode), teksturalne karakteristike (čvrstoća, konzistencija, kohezivnost i<br />indeks viskoziteta) i viskozitet uzoraka praćeni su nakon proizvodnje i<br />posle 10 dana skladi&scaron;tenja. Ukupan broj bakterija sirćetne kiseline (BSK)<br />i kvasaca u fermentisanim napicima analiziran je nakon proizvodnje i<br />tokom skladi&scaron;tenja. Varijante fermentisanih mlečnih napitaka senzorno<br />su ocenjene nakon proizvodnje.<br />Na osnovu rezultata ispitivanja utvrđeno je da fermentacija mleka<br />uz primenu nekonvencionalnog startera čajne gljive predstavlja složen<br />biohemijski proces pri čemu fermentacija traje od 9 do 12 sati i prosečno<br />je dva puta duža od fermentacije mleka u proizvodnji probiotskog i<br />tradicionalnog jogurta. Sadržaj laktoze tokom fermentacije mleka manji<br />je prosečno za 19,6% u odnosu na sadržaj laktoze u mleku. Uzorci<br />proizvedeni sa nativnim inokulumom uz primenu transglutaminaze i<br />koncentrata proteina surutke imaju za 15% niži sadržaj laktoze, a uzorak<br />15% I za 2% niži sadržaj u odnosu na uzorak 10% I. Uzorci proizvedeni<br />sa 10% MFI i 15% MFI imaju za 11%, odnosno 21% niži sadržaj laktoze<br />nakon proizvodnje u poređenju sa odgovarajućim uzorcima proizvedenim<br />uz primenu nativnog inokuluma. Sniženje sadržaja laktoze je<br />praćeno povećanjem sadržaja galaktoze i L-mlečne kiseline u svim uzorcima.<br />D-mlečna kiselina, sirćetna kiselina i etanol zastupljeni su u veoma<br />malim koncentracijama.<br />Imajući u vidu značaj vitamina C u ishrani i količinu detektovanu<br />u fermentisanom mlečnom napitku, konzumiranjem 500 g napitka<br />dobijenog primenom čajne gljive mogu da se zadovolje dnevne potrebe<br />za vitaminom C.<br />Tokom proizvodnje fermentisanih napitaka sadržaj vitamina B1<br />poraste za 5,09%, vitamina B2 za 2,65% i B6 za 2,03% u odnosu na<br />mleko. U fermentisanom mlečnom napitku iz mleka sa 2,2% masti<br />sadržaj vitamina B6 je povećan 24,76% u odnosu na sadržaj u polaznom<br />mleku. Fermentisani mlečni napici proizvedeni primenom čajne<br />gljive iz mleka sa 0,9% i 2,2% masti sa dodatkom 10% inokuluma<br />čajne gljive sadrže najvi&scaron;e vitamina B2 koji iznosi 108 (&mu;g/100g), odnosno<br />136 (&mu;g/100g). Mikrobiolo&scaron;ki sastav napitaka se razlikuje u zavisnosti<br />od vrste i sastava kori&scaron;ćenog inokuluma. Najveći broj BSK<br />(4,5 &middot; 104ćelija/mL) i kvasaca (9 &middot; 104 ćelija/mL) je u uzorku 10% MFI,<br />dok je manji u napitku 10% I (BSK: kvasci= 4,05 &middot; 104: 4,5 &middot; 104).<br />Dodatkom transglutaminaze u minimalnoj koncentraciji od<br />0,02% postižu se znatno bolje fizičko-hemijske i reolo&scaron;ke karakteristike<br />fermentisanih mlečnih napitaka dobijenih iz mleka sa 0,9% masti.<br />Generalno posmatrano, kori&scaron;ćenjem 10% nativnog inokuluma za<br />proizvodnju napitaka iz mleka sa 0,9% i 2,2% masti dobijaju se proizvodi<br />optimalnih hemijskih, mikrobiolo&scaron;kih i senzornih karakteristika.<br />Funkcionalni fermentisani mlečni napici proizvedeni uz primenu različitih<br />vrsta i koncentracija čajne gljive su proizvodi visoke nutritivne<br />vrednosti namenjeni različitim kategorijama potro&scaron;ača.</p> / <p> The possibility of fermented milk beverages manufacture<br /> by applying non-convenctional starter culture - tea fungus<br /> inoculum: a) natural inoculum (10% and 15%); b) concentrated<br /> by microfiltration (10% i 15%); c) concentrated by evaporation<br /> (1.5% and 3.0%) have been investigated. All fermented milk samples<br /> were produced from milk of 0.9% and 2.2 % fat content.<br /> Improvement of rheological properties of low fat fermented milk<br /> products by addition of enzyme transglutaminase (TG) was<br /> achieved. Transglutaminase (Activa MP, Ajinomoto Co. Inc.,<br /> Hamburg, Germany) was activated in milk at 40&deg;C for 2 hours,<br /> then it was inactivated by high temperature (80&deg;C for 1 minute)<br /> prior to fermentation. After cooling to optimal temperature<br /> (42&deg;C), chosen starter culture was added in milk. In all cases<br /> fermentation stopped when the pH=4.5 was reached.<br /> Nutritive characteristics of samples: content of proteins,<br /> lactose, galactose, glucose, fructose, lactic and acetic acid, ethanol,<br /> vitamins (B1, B2, B6 and C), minerals (Ca, Mg, K, Na, Pb,<br /> Cd, Cu, Zn) and total fatty acids content were analysed after<br /> production. Selected components were determined after 10 days<br /> of storage. Physico-chemical characteristics (acidity, syneresis,<br /> water-holding capacity), textural characteristics (firmness,<br /> consistency, cohessivnes, and index of viscosity) and viscosity<br /> were measured at 5&deg;C after production and during 10 days of<br /> storage.<br /> On the basis of the obtained results it can be concluded<br /> that milk fermentation lasted from 9 to 12 hours and is two times<br /> longer compared to fermentation during probiotic and traditional<br /> yoghurt production. Lactose content decreased during fermentation<br /> for 19.6% compared to milk. Higher transformation of lactose<br /> was determined in samples produced by using microfiltration<br /> inoculum. Decreasing of lactose content affected the increased<br /> galactose and L-lactic acid content. Content of D-lactic acid,<br /> acetic acid and ethanol were detected in low concentrations. High<br /> concentration of ascorbic acid in beverage contributed that 500 g<br /> fermented milk beverage could fullfill recommended daily intake<br /> for vitamin C. Sample produced from milk of 2.2% fat content<br /> using 10% natural inoculum contained the highest concentration<br /> of vitamin B2 &ndash; 136 (&mu;g/100g).<br /> The highest total cell count of acetic acid bacteria was<br /> 4.5 &middot; 104 cfu/ml and yeasts 9 &middot; 104 cfu/ml in samples produced by<br /> using 10% microfiltrated inoculum. Sample produced from milk<br /> of 0.9% fat content by applying 10% natural inoculum had also<br /> high number of acetic acid bacteria and yeasts in ratio 4.05 &middot; 104 :<br /> 4.5 &middot; 104.<br /> The sample having tea fungus concentrated inoculum<br /> and transglutaminase had the best textural characteristics. Fermented<br /> dairy beverages produced by 0.02% TG application had<br /> much better textural characteristics than those without TG.<br /> Generaly, fermented dairy drinks produced from milk of<br /> 0.9 and 2.2% fat content with addition of natural inoculum in<br /> concentration of 10% showed optimal sensory, nutritive and rheological<br /> characteristics.<br /> Therefore, fermented dairy drinks produced with tea<br /> fungus inoculum could be classified as high valuable functional<br /> food intended for all consumer categories.</p>
