Biocidas naturais e seus reflexos sobre contaminantes na produção de etanol /

Badin, Flavio. January 2010 (has links)
Orientador: Márcia Justino Rossini Mutton / Banca: Flávia Cecílio Ribeiro Bregagnoli / Banca: Francisco Vicente Gaiotto Cleto / Resumo: As indústrias sucroenergéticas têm como preocupação o controle de contaminantes da fermentação, responsáveis por afetar a viabilidade da levedura, provocando diversos transtornos no processo, comprometendo a eficiência fermentativa e o rendimento industrial. Dentre as alternativas para o controle das contaminações, destacam-se o uso de antimicrobianos sintéticos. Sua utilização continua pode favorecer o desenvolvimento de cepas resistentes, contribuindo para o incremento do custo de produção, além da possibilidade de incorporação de resíduos no produto final. Objetivou-se avaliar o efeito do biocida convencional (monensina sódica) e biocidas naturais preparados à base de própolis (Extrato Hidroalcoólico de Própolis - EHP e Extrato Oleoso de Própolis- EOP) sobre a fisiologia das leveduras, o controle dos contaminantes do processo fermentativo e composição do destilado. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi o Inteiramente Casualizado com parcelas subdivididas, com 4 repetições. Os Tratamentos Principais foram: Testemunha, EOP, EHP e monensina sódica (Kamoran WP). Os Tratamentos Secundários constituíram-se nos 10 ciclos fermentativos. Avaliaram-se as características químico-tecnológicas do caldo, mosto e vinho, parâmetros microbiológicos das leveduras e composição do destilado obtido. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que os biocidas avaliados apresentaram efeito similar, sendo efetivos no controle dos contaminantes da fermentação, não afetando negativamente suas características fisiológicas. Não afetaram a composição a composição do destilado final obtido / Abstract: The control of fermentation contaminants is one of the sugar mills concerns. The fermentation contaminants are responsible to affect the yeast viability, generating several overturns to the process, compromising the fermentative efficiency as well the industrial yield. Among the alternatives to control contamination, the use of synthetic antimicrobials can be highlighted. Its progressed use may favor the development of resistant strains, contributing in production cost improving, besides the possibility of residues incorporation into the final product. This work aimed evaluate the effect of conventional biocides (sodic monensin) and natural ones based on propolis (Propolis Hydroalcoholic Extract - EHP and Propolis Oily Extract - EOP) under the yeasts physiology, the fermentative process contaminants control, and the distilled composition. The experimental design used was the split-plot with four replications. The main treatments were: Control, EOH, EHP, and sodic monensin (Kamoran WP). The secondary treatments were the 10 fermentative cycles. The evaluated characteristics were: juice, must, and wine chemical-technical characteristics, yeasts microbiologic parameters, and the distillated obtained composition. The results obtained showed that the evaluated biocides presented similar effect, being effectives to control the fermentation contaminants, not affecting negatively its physiologic characteristics. They did not affect the composition of the distilled obtained / Mestre

Avaliação do uso de monensina sódica em rações de vacas leiteiras: desempenho produtivo e resíduos no leite / Evaluation of use of sodic monensin in dairy cows rations: Productive performance and milk residues

Gandra, Jefferson Rodrigues 05 June 2009 (has links)
Objetivou-se avaliar diferentes níveis de utilização de monensina sódica na ração de vacas em lactação e seus efeitos sobre o consumo e digestibilidade aparente total da matéria seca e dos nutrientes, produção e composição do leite, fermentação ruminal, síntese de proteína microbiana, parâmetros sanguineos e resíduos de monensina no leite. Foram utilizadas 12 vacas da raça Holandesa, distribuídas em quatro quadrados latinos 3x3 balanceados, alimentadas com as seguintes rações: 1) Controle (C), composto por ração basal sem adição de monensina, 2) Monensina 24 (M24), adição de 24 mg/kg MS de monensina na ração, adicionada ao concentrado, e 3) Monensina 48 (M48), adição de 48 mg/kg MS de monensina, adicionada ao concentrado. Diariamente foram realizadas pesagens das quantidades dos volumosos e concentrados fornecidos e das sobras de cada animal, para estimativa do consumo. Nas amostras de sobras e alimentos fornecidos foram determinados os teores dos principais nutrientes para posterior cálculo do consumo. Na determinação da digestibilidade aparente total dos nutrientes a quantidade total de matéria seca fecal excretada foi estimada pela concentração de fibra em detergente ácido indigestível (FDAi). As fezes foram coletadas no 13º e 16º dias de cada período experimental, sempre antes das ordenhas da manhã e da tarde, e armazenadas em sacos plásticos em freezer à -20°C, e posteriormente submetidas a análises químico-bromatológicas. As amostras utilizadas para análise da composição do leite foram coletadas de dois dias alternados, sendo provenientes das duas ordenhas diárias. As amostras de líquido ruminal foram coletadas com a utilização de sonda esofágica em dois tempos, antes (tempo zero) e três horas (tempo três) após a alimentação matinal. Foram determinados no líquido ruminal o pH, as concentrações de nitrogênio amoniacal e as concentrações dos ácidos graxos de cadeia curta. As amostras utilizadas para análise de alantoína no leite foram coletadas de dois dias alternados, sendo provenientes das duas ordenhas diárias. As amostras spot de urina foram obtidas de todas as vacas no 16º dia de cada período experimental, quatro horas após a alimentação matinal, durante micção estimulada por massagem na vulva. As amostras de sangue foram coletadas em tubos vacuolizados (vacutainer) por punção da veia e/ou artéria coccígea, sendo posteriormente obtidos o soro ou plasma para as análises laboratoriais. A monensina nas rações resultou em redução (P<0,05) do consumo de matéria seca (kg/dia e %PV) e de nutrientes, especialmente para a ração M48. Não houve efeito (P>0,05) dos níveis de monensina sódica utilizados sobre os coeficientes de digestibilidade aparente total da matéria seca e dos nutrientes analisados. Com a utilização de monensina sódica nas rações houve aumento da produção de leite (P<0,05), sem e com correção, e aumento da eficiência produtiva (P<0,05). Não houve diferença (P>0,05) entre a rações avaliadas para os teores de gordura, proteína, lactose e extrato seco desengordurado, havendo, no entanto, aumento da produção de gordura e lactose no nível intermediário de utilização de monensina. As rações avaliadas não influenciaram (P>0,05) o peso e o escore de condição corporal. Não houve efeito (P>0,05) das rações utilizadas nos valores de pH e nitrogênio amoniacal nos tempos avaliados, no entanto, houve efeito linear (P<0,05) com redução da porcentagem e concentração molar dos ácidos acético e butírico nos tempos avaliados, e na relação acetato/propionato. Em relação à porcentagem e a concentração molar do ácido propiônico, foi observado desvio da linearidade (P<0,05), sendo as maiores concentrações encontradas para a ração M24, comportamento semelhante para a concentração total de ácidos graxos de cadeia curta. Não houve efeito (P>0,05) das rações utilizadas nas excreções diárias totais de urina, e dos teores de alantoína e de acido úrico na urina, de alantoína no leite, e de derivados de purinas totais. Não houve diferença (P>0,05) na porcentagem de alantoína nos derivados de purina, das purinas absorvidas e do nitrogênio microbiano para as rações experimentais. Houve efeito linear (P<0,05) para eficiência microbiana para as rações contendo monensina sódica. Não houve efeito (P>0,05) das rações experimentais sobre as concentrações dos parâmetros sanguíneos analisados. As rações experimentais influenciaram (P>0,05) a eficiência de uso da energia líquida de lactação. Também foi observado efeito linear (P<0,05) das rações experimentais sobre ao consumo de energia bruta, digestível, metabolizável e líquida, e da produção de energia líquida de ganho. Foi observado desvio da linearidade (P<0,05) para a produção de energia líquida de lactação e para o balanço energético. Observou-se efeito das rações (P<0,05) para o consumo de nitrogênio total, para a excreção de nitrogênio nas fezes (g/dia) e a eficiência da utilização do nitrogênio. Em relação à excreção de nitrogênio no leite (g/dia), observou-se desvio da linearidade (P<0,05), com maiores valores para a ração M24. No entanto, não foi observado efeito das rações experimentais (P>0,05) sobre o balanço de nitrogênio, em g/dia ou em porcentagem do nitrogênio total. Os resíduos de monensina sódica detectados no leite estão dentro do limite máximo estabelecido pela FAO/WHO. A utilização de monensina sódica nas rações de vacas leiteiras no terço médio de lactação, tendo como volumoso a silagem de milho, melhorou consideravelmente o desempenho produtivo dos animais e não deixou resíduos no leite capazes de prejudicar a saúde humana. / The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of sodic monensin in ration for dairy cows on nutrients intake, total apparent digestibility of dry matter and nutrients, milk yield and composition, ruminal fermentation parameters, microbial protein synthesis, blood parameters and milk monensin residues. Twelve Holstein cows were allocated in four balanced Latin squares 3x3, and fed with the following rations: 1) control (C), basal diet without sodic monensin addition, 2) monensin 24 (M24), addition of 24 mg/kg DM of monensin in the ration, added to concentrate, and 3) monensin 48 (M48), addition of 48 mg/kg DM of monensin in the ration, added to concentrate. Daily weights of the amounts of corn silage and concentrated supplied, and the orts refused of each animal, were recorded for estimate the nutrient intake. Samples of orts and feedstuffs were analyzed for composition and subsequent nutrient intake calculation. For determination of total apparent digestibility of nutrients, the total amount of fecal dry matter excreted was estimate by indigestible detergent acid fiber (ADFi). The feces were collected in the 13th and 16th days of each experimental period, always before milking at morning and at afternoon, and frozen in freezer at -20°C , and in the end of the collection period it was made composed sample by animal with base in the dry matter, and analyzed. The milk yield and dry matter intake were measured daily during the experimental period. The samples used for analysis of milk composition were collected from two alternated days, and from the two daily milkings. Samples of ruminal fluid were collected with use of esophageal probe into two times, before (zero time) and three hours after morning fed (three time). Were determining pH, ammonia nitrogen and short chain fatty acids in ruminal fluid. The samples used for analysis of allantoin in milk were collected from two alternate days, and from the two daily milkings. The spot samples of urine were obtained from all cows in the 16th day of each experimental period, four hours after the morning feeding during urination stimulated by massage on the vulva. The samples of blood were collected in tubes vacuolizade (vacutainer) for puncture of the vein and/or artery coccygeal. The monensin use in the rations resulted in decrease (P<0.05) of dry matter and nutrients intake, especially for the M48 ration. There were not effect (P>0.05) of the experimental rations on the coefficients of total apparent digestibility of the dry matter and nutrients. The sodic monensin in the rations were reduced (P<0.05) the dry matter intake (kg/day and %BW), increased milk yield (P<0.05), corrected or not for fat percent, and increased production efficiency (P<0.05). Not difference (P>0.05) were observed between rations for milk fat, protein, lactose, total dry and non fat extract composition, and body weight and body condition score (P>0.05). The pH and concentrations of ruminal ammonia nitrogen were not different (P>0.05) for different levels of sodic monensin used in rations, in both times of collection. However, there was effect (P<0.05) of experimental rations on percentage and molar concentration of acetic and butyric acids in the both times, as well as for the acetate/propionate relation. The percentage and molar concentration of propionic acid was observed different between experimental rations (P<0.05), with the major concentrations found for ration M24. Similar results were obtained for total concentration of short chain fatty acids. There was no effect (P>0.05) in total daily excretion of urine, allantoin and uric acid in urine, allantoin in milk, and total purine derivatives. Not was observed effect (P>0.05) of experimental rations on the percentage of allantoin on total purines, purines absorbed, and in microbial nitrogen. It was observed effect (P<0.05) of microbial efficiency for the experimental rations that content sodic monensin. The experimental rations had no effect (P>0.05) in the blood parameters. It was observed effect (P<0.05) of sodic monensina rations on the efficiency of use of lactation net energy, and also were observed effect (P<0.05) in the intake of crude, digestible, metabolizable and liquid energy, as well as for production of net energy of gain. Was observed effect (P<0.05) of experimental rations on production of net lactation energy and for the energy balance. It was observed effect (P<0. 05) of experimental rations on total nitrogen intake, excretion of nitrogen in feces (g/day) and nitrogen efficiency. In relation to the excretion of nitrogen in milk (g/day), were observed effect (P<0.05) of monensina, with greater values for M24 ration. However, not were observed effect (P>0.05) of experimental rations for nitrogen balance, in g/day or in percentage of total nitrogen. The detected residues of sodic monensin in milk was smaller that the maximum limit established for FAO/WHO. The utilization of sodic monensin in midlactaion dairy cow, feed corn silage, improves de productive performance and do not result in residues in milk that prejudiced the human health.
