O fornecimento de colostro bovino liofilizado (CBL), fonte alternativa de proteína, foi avaliado como um ingrediente inovador na nutrição de peixes. A influência desta secreção láctea foi estudada sobre o desenvolvimento dos tecidos entérico, hepático e muscular de pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus) e dourado (Salminus brasiliensis) juvenis, utilizando-se análises da concentração sérica de IGF-I, o estudo da estrutura morfológica e atividade enzimática no intestino e, os indicadores de atividade celular nos tecidos entérico, hepático e muscular. Os pacus (8,5 ± 0,7g; 7,7 ± 0,3cm) e dourados (13,3 ± 0,9g; 10,8 ± 0,3cm), foram distribuídos num delineamento experimental inteiramente casualizado em esquema fatorial 3x2, constituindo-se de três dietas com inclusão de CBL (0%, 10% e 20%) e dois períodos experimentais (30 e 60 dias). Para os indicadores de desempenho no pacu, houve interação para ganho de peso (GP) e conversão alimentar aparente (CAA) (P<0,05). Os valores de GP, para 10 e 20% de CBL, não diferiram do 0% de CBL, indicando que as dietas foram adequadas e atenderam as necessidades nutricionais dos juvenis. Maior índice de conversão alimentar foi encontrado com 10% de CBL, aos 60 dias. A concentração de IGF-I não diferiu entre as dietas nas duas espécies, contudo, foi maior no dourado aos 60 dias (P<0,05). A morfologia do epitélio intestinal de pacu e dourado juvenis não foi alterada pelo fornecimento de CBL, entretanto, observaram-se diferenças entre os segmentos intestinais. A atividade da enzima aminopeptidase N foi maior nos pacus alimentados com 10% e 20% de CBL (P<0,05); a atividade das peptidases e dissacaridases foi menor aos 60 dias; exceto para aminopeptidase A, que apresentou elevada atividade neste mesmo período. No dourado, apenas houve diferença para aminopeptidase A, que foi menor aos 60 dias (P<0,05). Com relação aos indicadores de atividade celular, no intestino de pacu, a relação proteína total (PT)/RNA foi menor aos 30 dias. No fígado de dourado houve interação entre dieta e período para DNA, sendo maior nos peixes alimentados com 20% de CBL, aos 60 dias. No músculo de pacu PT/RNA foi maior com 10% de CBL; RNA, PT/DNA e RNA/DNA menor aos 60 dias, enquanto DNA e PT/RNA, maior neste mesmo período. No músculo do dourado, RNA e RNA/DNA, foram menores aos 60 dias e, PT/RNA, maior neste mesmo período (P<0,05). Considerando os aspectos estudados para avaliar as consequências do fornecimento de colostro bovino para pacu e dourado juvenis, observou-se que foram mantidas inalteradas a plasticidade e atividade das enzimas no epitélio intestinal e a atividade celular nos tecidos entérico, hepático e muscular. Esta condição sugere a possibilidade de uso desta secreção láctea na nutrição dos peixes estudados. / The supply of lyophilized bovine colostrum (LBC), alternative protein source, has been evaluated as an innovative ingredient in fish nutrition. The milk secretion influence was studied on enteric, liver and muscle tissues development of pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus) and dourado (Salminus brasiliensis), using analysis of serum IGF-I concentration, morphological structure study and enzyme activity in intestine, as well as the responses of cellular indicators in enteric, liver and muscle tissues. Juveniles of pacu (8.5 ± 0.7g; 7.7 ± 0.3cm) and dourado (13.3 ± 0.9g; 10.8 ± 0.3cm) were distributed in a completely randomized design in a factorial scheme 3x2, constituting of three diets with LBC inclusion (0, 10 or 20%) and two experimental periods (30 or 60 days). The performance indicators in pacu, interaction between diet and period was observed to weight gain (WG) and feed conversion rate (FCR) (P<0.05). GP values in 10 and 20% LBC did not differ from the values of 0% LBC, indicating that the diets were adequate and met the nutritional needs of the juveniles. Higher FCR was found with 10% LBC at 60 days. IGF-I concentration did not differ between diets in both species, but was higher in dourado at 60 days (P<0.05). The pacu and dourado intestinal epithelium histomorphometry, was not altered by the LBC supply, however, there were differences between intestinal segments. The enzyme activity of aminopeptidase N was higher in pacu fed 10% and 20% of LBC (P<0.05); the activity of peptidases and disaccharidases was lower at 60 days; except for aminopeptidase A which showed high activity in this period. In the dourado, was difference only to aminopeptidase A, which was lower at 60 days (P<0.05). Regarding the indicators of cellular activity, in intestine of pacu, total protein (TP)/RNA ratio was lower at 30 days. In liver of dourado, there was interaction between diet and period for DNA, being higher in fish fed 20% LBC, at 60 days. In muscle of pacu, TP/RNA was higher with 10% LBC; RNA, TP/DNA and RNA/DNA ratio lower at 60 d, while TP and DNA/RNA ratio increased during the same period. In muscle of dourado, RNA and RNA/DNA were lower at 60 days and, TP/RNA higher in the same period (P<0.05). Considering the aspects studied to evaluate the effects of bovine colostrum for juvenile pacu and dourado, it was observed that were kept unchanged the plasticity and enzymes activity in intestinal epithelium and cellular activity in enteric, liver and muscle tissues. This condition suggests the possibility of using this milk secretion in nutrition of fish studied.

Το δέντρο ως οικοσύστημα : ανάπτυξη γνώσεων και στάσεων στην προσχολική ηλικία

Βεληβασάκη, Γαλάτεια 22 November 2011 (has links)
Τα τελευταία χρόνια, αν και η Περιββαλοντική Εκπαίδευση στην προσχολική ηλικία εντάσσεται στην ευέλικτη ζώνη, αποτελεί αναπόσπαστο κομμάτι της εκπαιδευτικής θεματολογίας. Στην παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία σκοπός είναι να διερευνηθεί το κατά πόσο τα παιδιά προσχολικής ηλικίας καταννοούν τις τροφικές σχέσεις που αναπτύσσονται σε ένα οικοσύστημα και συγκεκριμένα στο δέντρο. Ταυτόχρονα, εστιάζουμε στις στάσεις που αναπτύσσουν τα παιδιά ως προς τις ανθρώπινες παρεμβάσεις στο οικοσύστημα. Τέλος, μέσω της διδακτικής παρέμβασης που αποτελείται από 10 δραστηριότητες,επιδιώκουμε να αναπτύξουμε ή και να βελτιώσουμε τις γνώσεις και τις στάσεις που έχουν τα παιδιά σχετικά με τα παραπάνω θέματα. / In recent years, although Environmental Education in early childhood is part of the flexible zone is an integral part of education topics. In this thesis, the goal is to investigate whether preschool children understand food chains that are developed in a specific ecosystem and especially the tree. Simultaneously, we focus on attitudes that children develop towards the human intervention in the ecosystem. Finally, through an instructional intervention that consists of 10 activities, we try to develop or improve their knowledge and attitudes that have children on these issues.

Desarrollo de preparados texturizantes Clean Label

Noguerol Meseguer, Ana Teresa 10 June 2022 (has links)
Tesis por compendio / [ES] Los consumidores preocupados por la salud, sostenibilidad y bienestar animal han aumentado en los últimos años. Por ello, las nuevas tendencias clean label y plant-based están en alza. Cada vez son más las empresas que quieren lanzar al mercado productos sin aditivos y conservantes, más naturales y menos procesados. Además, el interés por los productos puramente vegetales está creciendo, debido al aumento de población que quiere eliminar por completo el consumo de carne de su dieta o reducirlo. Para la elaboración de productos alimentarios es necesario el uso de aditivos, ya que estos no solo aseguran su inocuidad y alargan su vida útil, sino que también tienen funciones de texturizantes, espesantes y gelificantes. La elaboración de análogos de productos de origen animal (derivados cárnicos y otros como el queso) requiere del uso de este tipo de ingredientes para conseguir que el producto tenga una textura similar a los productos originales. Por ello, al igual que los aditivos y conservantes, en ocasiones estos productos no están bien vistos por los consumidores, que prefieren que sean lo más naturales posible. Sin embargo, existen ingredientes procedentes de las plantas con poder texturizante, gelificante y/o espesante, que podría ser utilizados con tal finalidad. Por todo ello, el objetivo de esta tesis doctoral fue la ampliación y modificación de la gama de preparados ofertados por la empresa Productos Pilarica S.A. en base a los criterios clean label para la elaboración de productos plant-based. Inicialmente se planteo un estudio sobre la visión general de los productos plant-based con etiqueta limpia por parte de diferentes grupos de consumidores (omnívoros, veganos, vegetarianos y flexitarianos). Los resultados obtenidos indicaron que la percepción de este tipo de productos era diferente en función de la dieta de los consumidores. Los omnívoros no diferenciaron entre los productos veganos y vegetarianos clean label y con etiqueta original; sin embargo, los consumidores que reducen o eliminan el consumo de carne y derivados percibieron los productos clean label de manera diferente a los productos con etiqueta original, prefiriendo los productos "más naturales". Además, se vio que esta población parece estar más concienciada con el medio ambiente. Seguidamente, se procedió a realizar una búsqueda de ingredientes vegetales naturales con poder texturizante, siendo los ingredientes seleccionados fibras alimentarias de diferente procedencia (fibra de guisante, fibra de patata, fibra de bambú, fibra de cítricos, tres tipos de fibras de Plantago ovata, y dos mezclas de fibras, una con bambú, psyllium y cítricos, y otra con guisante, caña de azúcar y bambú). Para conocer su capacidad texturizante se procedió a estudiar sus características tecno-funcionales y, especialmente, su capacidad de gelificación. Como resultados más relevantes se observó que las fibras procedentes de P. ovata o psyllium, formaban geles estables a concentraciones más bajas que las demás fibras, con o sin tratamiento por calor. Además, el tratamiento con calor aumentaba la dureza de estos geles. También se vio que el contenido en minerales como el hierro y la capacidad antioxidante de estas fue destacable. Una vez seleccionadas las fibras de P . ovata como principales texturizantes se procedió a la evaluación de estas en diferentes matrices alimentarias (untables y salchichas tipo Frankfurt). En ambas matrices se observó que la adición de psyllium, a diferentes concentraciones, aumentaba la firmeza y la consistencia de los productos. Se debe resaltar el uso de la fibra de psyllium PW (Plantago White), ya que, además de funcionar como texturizante, fue la que minimizó las diferencias de color con respecto a las muestras control. / [CA] Els consumidors que es preocupen per la salut, sostenibilitat i benestar animal han augmentat en els últims anys. Per això, les noves tendències clean label i plant-based estan a l'alça. Cada vegada són més les empreses que volen llançar al mercat productes sense additius ni conservants, més naturals i menys processats. A més, l'interés pels productes purament vegetals està creixent, a causa de l'augment de població que vol eliminar per complet el consum de carn de la seua dieta, o reduir-lo. Per a l'elaboració de productes alimentaris és necessari l'ús d'additius, ja que aquests no tan sols asseguren la seua innocuïtat i allarguen la seua vida útil, sinó que també tenen funcions texturitzants, espessidores i gelificants. L'elaboració d'anàlegs de productes d'origen animal (derivats carnis o altres com el formatge) requerix l'ús d'aquests tipus d'ingredients per aconseguir que el producte tinga una textura semblant als productes originals; per això, com ocorre amb els additius i conservants, de vegades no estan ben mirats pels consumidors, els quals volen que els productes siguen el més natural possible. No obstant això, n'hi ha ingredients procedents de les plantes amb poder texturitzant, gelificant i/o espessidor, que podrien ser utilitzats amb aquesta finalitat. Per tot això, l'objectiu d'aquesta tesi doctoral va ser l'ampliació i modificació de la gamma de preparats oferits per l'empresa col·laboradora basant-se en els criteris clean label per a l'elaboració de productes plant- based. Inicialment es va plantejar un estudi sobre la visió general dels productes plant-based amb etiqueta neta per part de diferents grups de consumidors (omnívors, vegans, vegetarians i flexitarians). Els resultats obtinguts van indicar que la percepció d'aquest tipus de productes era diferent en funció de la dieta dels consumidors. Els omnívors no van diferenciar entre els productes vegans i vegetarians clean label i amb etiqueta original; no obstant això, els consumidors que reduïxen o eliminen el consum de carn i derivats van percebre els productes clean label de manera diferent als productes amb etiqueta original, preferint els productes "més naturals". A més, es va veure que aquesta població pareix estar més conscienciada amb el medi ambient. A continuació, es va procedir a realitzar una recerca d'ingredients vegetals naturals amb poder texturitzant, sent els ingredients seleccionats fibres alimentàries de diferent procedència (fibra de pésol, fibra de creïlla, fibra de bambú, fibra de cítrics, tres tipus de fibres de Plantago ovata, i dues mescles de fibres, una amb bambú, psyllium i cítrics, i una altra amb pésol, canya de sucre i bambú). Per a conéixer la seua capacitat texturitzant es va procedir a estudiar les seus característiques tècnic-funcionals i, especialment, la seua capacitat de gelificació. Com a resultats més rellevants es va observar que les fibres procedents de P. ovata o psyllium formaven gels estables a concentracions més baixes que les altres fibres, amb tractament amb calor o sense. A més, el tractament amb calor augmentava la duresa d'aquests gels. També es va veure que el contingut en minerals, com el ferro, i la capacitat antioxidant d'aquests va ser destacable. Una vegada seleccionades les fibres de P. ovata com a principals agents texturitzants es va procedir a l'avaluació d'aquestes en diferents matrius alimentàries (aliments d'untar i salsitxes tipus Frankfurt). A ambdues matrius es va observar que l'addició de psyllium a diferents concentracions augmentava la fermesa i la consistència dels productes. S'ha de ressaltar l'ús de la fibra de psyllium PW (Plantago White), ja que, a més de funcionar com texturitzant, va minimitzar les diferències de color respecte a les mostres control. / [EN] Consumers concerned about health, sustainability and welfare have increased in recent years. For this reason, the new clean label and plant-based trends are on the rise. More and more companies want to launch products without additives and preservatives, more natural and less processed. In addition, the interest in purely vegetable products is growing, due to the increase population that wants to completely eliminate or reduce meat consumption from their diet. The use of additives is necessary for the formulation of food products since these not only ensure their safety and extend their useful life, but also have texturizing, thickening and gelling functions. The analogue elaboration of animal origin products (meat derivatives and others such as cheese) requires the use of this type of ingredients to ensure that the product has a texture similar to the original product. Therefore, as well as additives and preservatives, animal origin products sometimes are not well seen by consumers, who prefer these kinds of products to be as natural as possible. However, there are ingredients from plants with texturizing, gelling and/or thickening capacity, which could be used for this purpose. Therefore, the objective of this doctoral thesis was the expansion and modification of the range of preparations offered by the collaborated company based on the clean label criteria for the production of plant-based products. Initially, a study was proposed on the general vision of plant-based products with a clean label by different groups of consumers (omnivores, vegans, vegetarians and flexitarians). The results obtained indicated that the perception of this type of products was different depending on the diet of the consumers. Omnivores did not differentiate between clean label and original label vegan and vegetarian products. However, consumers who reduce or eliminate their consumption of meat and meat products perceived clean label products differently than products with the original label, preferring "more natural" products. In addition, it was seen that this population seems to be more aware of the environment. Next, a search was carried out for natural vegetable ingredients with texturizing power. The selected ingredients being food fibres from different sources (pea fibre, potato fibre, bamboo fibre, citrus fibre, three types of Plantago ovata fibres, and two fibre mixtures, one with bamboo, psyllium, and citrus, and the other with pea, sugarcane, and bamboo). In order to know its texturizing capacity, we proceeded to study their techno-functional characteristics and, especially, their gelling capacity. As more relevant results, it was observed that the fibres from P. ovata or psyllium more formed stable gels at lower concentrations than the other fibres, with or without heat treatment. Furthermore, heat treatment increased the hardness of these gels. It was also seen that the content of minerals such as iron and their antioxidant capacity was remarkable. Once the P. ovata fibres were selected as the main texturizers, they were evaluated in different food matrices (spreads and sausages). In both matrices it was observed that the addition of psyllium, at different concentrations, increased the firmness and consistency of the products. The use of psyllium fibre PW (Plantago White) should be highlighted, since, in addition to working as a texturizer, it was the one that minimized the colour differences with respect to the control samples. / Noguerol Meseguer, AT.
