Ultrastructural and histochemical investigations of Ipomoea batatus lam. infected by Rhizopus stolonifer (Fr.) Lind

Smith, Kendall O. 01 August 1971 (has links)
The ultrastructural aspects of Rhizopus stolonifer (Fr.) Lind. Infection in Ipomoea batatus Lam. Roots and the histochemistry of cell walls affected by enzymes secreted by the fungus were investigated. Specimens were prepared for viewing in the electron microscope by thin-sectioning techniques. Degradation of cellular membreanes and host tissues in advance of the fungus was evident. Breakdown of the middle lamella was detected by special histochemical stains for pectin. Breakdown occurred in the following was: (1) maceration of the middle lamella before maceration of the cell wall, (2) simultaneous degradation of both the middle lamella and the cell wall, (3) maceration of the cell wall before maceration of the middle lamella. A difference in electron-opacity in health, non-infected host walls and infected host walls was observed. Irregularity in the infection front and the host tissues by various enzymes was observed.

Caracterização da silagem de rama de batata doce com aditivo

Corrêa, Annelise Aragão 28 February 2013 (has links)
This study was to evaluate the nutritional characteristics of silage sweet potato shoots. The study was conducted at the Federal University of Sergipe (UFS), municipality of Saint Kitts UP. The experimental design was completely randomized with four replications, seven levels of additives (0,5,10,15,20,25,30%), divided into mini-laboratory silos. The dry matter with increased according to increasing levels of additive. The protein showed a decrease in values depending on the levels, probably by protein additive. The neutral detergent fiber and acid detergent fiber, no significant differences (P> 0.05), however, these values were higher in silage without aditivo.O pH and NH3-N of silage obtained ranged from 3.31 and 2.84 to 3.89% to 3.91%. The silage from sweet potato vines had good energy and protein levels and adequate fermentation profile therefore concluded that the use of 15% of this additive in silage showed a better result / Objetivou-se avaliar características nutricionais da silagem da rama da batata doce (Ipomoea batatas) emurchecida e acrescentada com aditivo. O trabalho foi realizado na Universidade Federal de Sergipe (UFS), município de São Cristóvão-SE. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi inteiramente casualizado com quatro repetições, sete níveis de aditivos (0,5,10,15,20,25,30%), distribuídos em mini-silos laboratoriais. A matéria seca aumentou de acordo com a elevação do nível de aditivo. A proteína bruta apresentou diminuição nos valores em função dos níveis, provavelmente pelo teor de proteína do aditivo. A fibra em detergente neutro e fibra em detergente ácido, não apresentaram diferenças significativas (P>0,05), porém, estes valores apresentaram-se maiores na silagem sem aditivo.O pH e o N-NH3 da silagem obtidos variaram de 3,31 a 3,89 e 2,84% a 3,91%. As silagens das ramas de batata-doce apresentaram bons teores protéicos e energéticos e adequado perfil fermentativo, portanto, concluiu-se que a utilização de 15% de aditivo na presente silagem apresentou melhor resultado.

Effects of sweet potato forage meals on protein and energy supply, beta-carotene and blood glucose content of dairy cattle milk

Smit, Christiaan Jacobus 12 May 2015 (has links)
Forage of beta-carotene-fortified orange-fleshed sweet potato is essential for alleviation cattle malnutrition. The study aims were to determine effects of supplementing sweet potato (SP) roots and sun dried forage on degradation of dietary legumes, intake and milk yield in dairy cattle. Mature SP roots were oven dried and forage vines and leaves (V&L) sun dried. Lactating dairy were supplied meals with total mixed ration (TMR) constituting varying levels of sweet potato forage and concentrate. The SP flour was rapidly and completely degraded In Sacco while degradability of V&L was comparable to that of Lucerne hay. Rumen degradation of Lucerne was reduced when the legume was incubated proximal to SP. Substitution of TMR with fresh SP forage and flour meal increased degradability of diets. Glucose post-feeding was increased (P<0.05) by SP roots but no change in milk yield. Orange-fleshed SP forage is recommended for improving energy supply in lactating cow diets / Agriculture and  Animal Health / M. Sc. (Agriculture)

José, António Elísio January 2016 (has links)
Experimentos com vista à avaliação das propriedades físico-quimica, fitoquímicas e biológica, bem como a sua estabilidade, em raízes tuberosas maduras, caules e folhas jovens de duas cultivares, RBS Amélia e RBS Cuia, e dois acessos de Ipomoea batatas, um de polpa púrpura com manchas brancas (C) e outro de polpa púrpura (D), cultivados ecologicamente e em condições de sequeiro na Horta Comunitária de Lomba do Pinheiro (30º 06’ 46’’ S; 51º 06’ 34’’ O) no Município de Porto alegre, RS no período de 2013 a 2015 foram efetuados nos laboratórios de Higiene, Qualidade e Microbiologia de alimentos e de Química e Bromatologia do Instituto de Ciência e Tecnologia de Alimento (ICTA) da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS). A avaliação quantita-tiva das propriedades físico-químicas e fitoquímicas seguiu os métodos descritos no Manual das Normas Técnicas para Determinação das Propriedades Físico-químicas em alimentos do Instituto Adolfo Lutz. O teor de polifenóis totais foi determinado pelo método de Folin & Ciocalteu, o con-teúdo de antocianinas pelo método de pH diferencial, os flavonoides, taninos e vitamina C avalia-dos por métodos espectrofotométricos. A atividade biológica consistiu na determinação das pro-priedades antioxidantes dos materiais usando o método fotocolorimétrico in vitro, empregando o radical livre estável 2,2-difenil-1-picrilhidrazila (DPPH) e na avaliação da atividade antimicrobi-ana, expressa como intensidade de atividade de inibição bacteriana (IINIB) e intensidade de ativi-dade de inativação bacteriana (IINAB), usando sistema de tubos múltiplos frente a diferentes con-centrações de Salmonella Enteritidis (ATCC 11076), Enterococcus faecalis (ATCC 19433), Es-cherichia coli (ATCC 11229) e Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923). Foi igualmente analisada a estabilidade físico-química, fitoquímica e biológica das raízes tuberosas, caules e folhas estoca-dos a temperatura ambiente por períodos de 90, 180 e 270 dias, através da mensuração e avaliação das concentrações dos componentes físico-químicos, fitoquímicos e atividade biológica naqueles pontos de estocagem, Foram encontrados teores de proteínas variando de 10,5 a 26,3%, carboidra-tos totais oscilando de 15,7 a 61,1% com valores altos observados na cultiva RBS Amélia. Maiores teores de fenólicos totais e antocianinas foram observados em acessos de polpa púrpura com valo-res até 709,3 e 78,7mg/100g, respectivamente. Elevada atividade antioxidante foi também verifi-cada na maioria dos extratos testados que, igualmente, evidenciaram atividade antibacteriana frente a todos os inóculos testados ainda que a sua intensidade tenha sido diferente. Porém, nenhuma atividade antibacteriana foi verificada em extratos preparados com base no calor, quais sejam in-fusão e decocção. A estabilidade das propriedades de todos esses materiais foi presenciada embora algumas características tenham reduzido seus teores aos 270 dias de estocagem. O trabalho conclui que as raízes tuberosas, caules e folhas das cultivares RBS Amélia e RBS Cuia e dos acessos de batata-doce estudados se constituem em hortaliças vegetais com alto potencial físico-químico, fi-toquímico e biológico, a avaliar pelos altos teores de carboidratos totais, considerável concentração de proteínas, elevados valores de polifenóis totais e, ou antocianinas, principalmente nos acessos de polpa púrpura. Os mesmos materiais têm um indicativo de atividade antioxidante e de atividade antibacteriana seletiva frente a Salmonella Enteritidis (ATCC 11076), Enterococcus faecalis (ATCC 19433), Escherichia coli (ATCC 11229) e Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923). Figuram-se, portanto, como uma excelente fonte de proteína, carboidratos e de compostos fenólicos relativamente estável por período de 270 dias de estocagem a temperatura ambiente, tornando-se importante na segurança alimentar e nutricional, saúde e bem-estar social. / Experiments for the evaluation of the physic-chemical, phytochemical and biological properties, and their stability in mature tuber roots, young stems and leaves of two cultivars, RBS Amelia and RBS Cuia and of two accessions of Ipomoea batatas, one having purple fleshed tuber roots with white spots (C) and another purple fleshed tuber (D), grown ecologically in “ Horta Comunitária da Lomba do Pinheiro (30º 06' 46'' S, 51° 06' 34'' O), Porto alegre, RS from the period of 2013 to 2015 were perfomed in the Hygiene, Quality and Microbiology and Food Chemistry laboratories of the Institute of Science and food Technology (ICTA), Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS). The quantitative assessment of physicochemical and phytochemical properties followed the described methods in the Manual of Technical Standards for Determination of Physical and Chemical Properties, Institute Adolfo Lutz. The total polyphenol content was determined by the Folin & Ciocalteu method, the content of anthocyanins at pH differential method, flavonoids, tan-nins, and vitamin C evaluated by spectrophotometric methods. Biological activity was analysed evaluated by determinating antioxidant properties of materials using fotocolorimétrico in vitro method, using the stable free radical 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrilhidrazila (DPPH) and also by evaluating antimicrobial activity, expressed as intensity of bacterial inhibition activity (IINIB) and intensity of bacterial inactivation activity (IINAB) using multiple tube system against different concentra-tions of Salmonella enteritidis (ATCC 11076), Enterococcus faecalis (ATCC 19433), Escherichia coli (ATCC 11229) and Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923). It was also analyzed the physical and chemical, phytochemical and biological stability of tuber roots, stems and leaves stored at room temperature for periods of 90, 180 and 270 days, through the measurement and assessment of con-centrations of physico-chemical components, phytochemicals and biological activity on those points of storage. Protein levels were found ranging from 10.5 to 26.3%, total carbohydrates rang-ing from 15.7 to 61.1% with higher values observed in the RBS Amelia cultivar. Higher total phe-nolic content and anthocyanins were found in the purple fleshed roos, with values of up to 709.3 and 78,7mg / 100g, respectively. High anti-oxidant activity was also observed in most of the tested extracts which also showed antibacterial activity against all inocula tested, although its intensity was different. However, no antibacterial activity was detected in extracts prepared by heat, namely infusion and decoction. The stability of the properties of all materials was attended although some features have reduced its contents to 270 days of storage. The paper concludes that the tuber roots, stems and leaves of the RBS Amélia and RBS Cuia cultivars and sweet potato accessions studied constitute vegetables with high physical-chemical, phytochemical and biological potential, accord-ing to the high levels of total carbohidrates, considerable protein concentration, high total polyphe-nol values, or anthocyanins, mainly in pupuple fleshed roots accesses. The same materials have an indicative of antioxidant activity and selective antibacterial activity against Salmonella enteritidis (ATCC 11076), Enterococcus faecalis (ATCC 19433), Escherichia coli (ATCC 11229) and Sta-Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923). Therefore, this specie can be seen as an excellent source of protein, carbohydrates and relatively stable phenolic compounds for a period of 270 days of storage at room temperature, making it important for food security and nutrition, health and social welfare.
