Determinación del contenido de compuestos funcionales en polvos de nopal (Opuntia ficus-indica Mill.), provenientes de cladodios de distinto peso / Determination of functional compounds in nopal power (Opuntia ficus-indica MIll.), from different weight cladodesAguilera Feliú, Patricia Oriana January 2012 (has links)
Memoria para optar al Título Profesional de Ingeniería Agrónomo Mención Agroindustria / Opuntia ficus indica, Mill. Es una especie de tuna distribuida ampliamente en México y otras partes del mundo: sus tallos o cladiodos son llamados “nopalitos”. Durante la poda, algunos tallos maduros son materia de desecho. Hay pocos reportes en literatura sobre la utilización de cladodios para la preparación de harina o polvos de nopal y menos aún sobre el efecto de la edad o tamaño de los cladiodos sobre las características y propiedades de los polvos

Identification and spatiotemporal dynamics of tuna (Family: Scombridae; Tribe: Thunnini) early life stages in the oceanic Gulf of MexicoPruzinsky, Nina 02 May 2018 (has links)
Fishes within the family Scombridae (i.e. tunas, mackerels and bonitos) are of high ecological and economic value, as they are heavily targeted by commercial and recreational fisheries. In coastal and open-ocean environments, adults are high-level predators, while larvae and juveniles serve as prey for numerous species. Much is known about the distribution and abundance of adult tunas, but high taxonomic uncertainty and limited knowledge regarding the distributional patterns of larval and juvenile tunas have led to an “operational taxonomic unit” gap in our understanding of tuna ecology. Scombrids were collected across the Gulf of Mexico (GoM, hereafter) during seven research cruises from 2010-2011, as part of the NOAA-supported Offshore Nekton Sampling and Analysis Program, and during five research cruises from 2015-2017, as a part of the GOMRI-supported Deep Pelagic Nekton Dynamics of the Gulf of Mexico Consortium. In this thesis, species composition, distribution, and abundance of tunas collected from the surface to 1500 m depth are characterized in relation to depth, time of year, and physical oceanographic features. A synthesis of the morphological characteristics used to identify the taxonomically challenging larval and juvenile stages of tunas is presented, along with length-weight regressions to fill the data gap on the growth patterns of these early life stages. A total of 945 scombrid specimens were collected, representing 11 of the 16 species that occur in the GoM. The dominant species included: Euthynnus alletteratus (Little Tunny), Thunnus atlanticus (Blackfin Tuna), Auxis thazard (Frigate Mackerel), and Katsuwonus pelamis (Skipjack Tuna). Evidence of sampling gear selectivity was observed, with a MOCNESS (rectangular, research-sized trawl) collecting larvae predominantly, and a large, high-speed rope trawl catching only juveniles. Scombrids were collected primarily in the upper 200 m of the water column. Species-specific environmental preferences and seasonality were identified as the main drivers of tuna spatial distributions across the epipelagic GoM. Integrating aspects of scombrid ecology in neritic and oceanic environments improves management and conservation efforts for this highly important taxon.

Inhibiting Listeria monocytogenes, Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Morganella morganii with Aqueous Methanol Extracts of Punica granatum and Galla chinensisWu, Jian 08 December 2014 (has links)
Listeria monocytogenes, Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Morganella morganii are closely related to foodborne illnesses caused by the consumption of seafood and ready-to-eat (RTE) food. Traditional Chinese medicines (TCM) have been widely studied as complementary and alternative medicines, and many of them have been verified to have antimicrobial properties. The purpose of this research was to study antimicrobial effects of plant extracts as potential preservatives in seafood products and to identify the primary antimicrobial compounds in plant extracts.
Four plants, Pomegranate peel (PP, Punica Granatum L.), Chinese gallnut (CG, Galla chinensis), forsythia fruit (FS, Forsythia suspensa) and Baikal skullcap root (BS, Scutellaria baicalensis) were ground and extracted with 70% methanol, respectively. The extracts were diluted at tested for antimicrobial activities on V. parahaemolyticus, L. monocytogenes and M. morganii both in agar diffusion assay using tryptic soy agar (TSA), and in microdilution assay using tryptic soy broth (TSB). Both CG and PP extracts, with concentrations no lower than 1 mg/ml, significantly inhibited both V. parahaemolyticus and L. monocytogenes (P<0.01) and reduced the bacterial population by up to 4 logs. No significant inhibition was observed with FS and BS extracts, except for BS at 5 mg/ml on V. parahaemolyticus. None of the extracts showed significant inhibition against M. morganii.
The antibacterial activities of CG and PP 70% methanol extracts were tested in ground raw tuna and cooked tail-on shrimp. The extracts were mixed in tuna with final concentration at 1.7 mg/ml, and applied as soaking treatments (5 mg/ml) for shrimp. Both CG and PP extracts inhibited V. parahaemolyticus on both food matrices while only CG significantly inhibited L. monocytogenes.
The 70% methanol crude extract of CG was analyzed by HPLC and LC-MS. Oligo-galloyl-O-glucose (nGG, n=1-10) are the major compounds in CG. The crude CG extract was fractionated using HPLC and the fractions were collected based on elution time and tested for their antimicrobial activities against V. parahaemolyticus and L. monocytogenes using agar diffusion methods. The fractions containing 3GG-8GG were the most active antimicrobials on both bacteria. / Ph. D.

Stormannakyrkor i det medeltida TiundalandSäll Jansson, Ida January 2024 (has links)
Studien söker spår och bevispunkter av stormannakyrkor i Tiundaland under medeltiden. Fyra kyrkor i området undersöks: Tierps kyrka, Lena kyrka, Tuna kyrka och Edsbro kyrka. Genom arkitektonisk beskrivning och analys tillsammans med en tvärvetenskaplig undersökning som utförts med de fyra ledorden: plats, material, elit och tidpunkt har kyrkorna studerats.Undersökningen stärker tidigare forskning: individualitet, exklusiva material, hög andel frälsejord, stormän bosatta i närområdet och kyrkonamn som har samma namn som socknen framstår alla som goda tecken. Vidare studier av kyrkornas estetiska uttryck och valvslagingens individualitet framförs som möjliga tecken, dessa tecken är dock i behov av vidare studier.

Their descriptions are put in relation to deliberative democracy and its critics amongst other. Partly by study how those involved have choosen to put it into practice. The opponents of the reorganization chose to start a non-profit association, Rasbo in co-operation, to carry on local mobilization and it will be compared with other similar groups. The municipality of Uppsala arranged a citizens forum in the district of Rasbo and the essay will examine how the participants experienced it.</p><p>The study is based upon a total of 19 semistructured interviews with politicians and officials in the municipality of Uppsala and also working members of Rasbo in co-operation.</p><p>The overall result of the analysis is that the politicians and the officials as well as the members of the association support the form of actions that endorse the representative system and look att citizendialogue as a tool to regenerate it and make it better. Rasbo in co-operation has almost everything in common with similar groups including a contradictory view on politics. The association has the important requirements for local mobilization, dedicated people, a positive collective identity and a constructive relation to the municipality. The participants of the citizens forum liked the way the forum was arranged and enjoyed the evening. But there was some problem between the unicipality and the association in connection with the preliminaries before the event. There is also some deficiency in the follow-up.</p><p>Keyword: local democracy, citizendialogue, deliberative democracy, local mobilization, citizens forum, Uppsala, Rasbo, Rasbokil, Stavby, Tuna.</p>

Genetic variation in Atlantic yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) to assess stock structure and reproductive varianceFarnham, Tiffany Talley 17 February 2005 (has links)
The population genetic structure of Atlantic yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) has received little attention despite the substantial fishing mortality of juveniles caused by purse seining around fish aggregating devices in the Gulf of Guinea targeting multi-species schools that also include similarly sized skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) and bigeye tuna (T. obesus). We used sequence data from 355 bp of the mitochondrial control region I as well as six microsatellite loci to examine: (1) population structure, and (2) to look for evidence of reproductive variance. We analyzed two samples of adults from the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) and one sample of early juveniles (20-50 mm) from the Gulf of Guinea (GOG). We found no evidence of geographic or temporal differentiation among the samples. Accordingly, the null hypothesis of panmixia for yellowfin tuna in the Atlantic Ocean could not be rejected. A sudden expansion analysis based on mtDNA control region I sequence data of yellowfin tuna was highly significant. Time estimates for expansion were between 40,000 and 80,000 years before present. The associated high levels of homoplasy could be masking any existing population structure. Additional sampling from additional locations and across several years will be needed to test the hypothesis of panmixia. We also provide preliminary evidence of the Allendorf-Phelps effect, which may contribute to reproductive variance. This is the first evidence of this effect in any other tuna or pelagic species. Data indicates that early juveniles sharing the same mtDNA control region I haplotype were caught in the same tow and had a significant probability of halfsibship status as calculated from their haplotype and genotype at one microsatellite locus through kinship analysis. Sampling throughout the spawning season and across several years, as well as analysis with additional microsatellite loci that have a more even distribution of alleles, will be needed to more fully identify the sibling status of larvae and early juveniles caught in the same tow as well as the extent of this reproductive variance.

The bioeconomic analysis of shark bycatch in tuna fisheryChiou, Mei-Jing 27 January 2011 (has links)
Abstract
Because the number of sharks is decreasing , the problem has been concerned in recent years. In this paper , I conduct a research about the shark bycatch problem¡Ataking the target specie of bigeye tunas and the bycatch specie of sharks as the research objects . Initially I collect from 2000 to 2007 Atlantic bigeye tuna and shark catches datas for resource assessment.and then making comparasion with resource equilibrium values of open access fishery model and net present value maximization fishery model. it is found during the period it has showed a upward trend for bigeye tuna resources¡Abut it has not showed the bigeye tuna resources achive the optimal level. It has showed a diminishing trend for shark resources, the result shows the resources will face extinction crisis if the fishery is not controlled well. Then, doing sensitivity analysis to understand the effects of exogenous parameters to bigeye tuna and shark catches, resources and efforts. Finally, facing with the sharks bycatch problem , discussing the effect of improved fishing gears on sharks bycatch control by doing the sensitivity analysis of fishing hook cost and bycatch coefficient to shark resources and catches¡OFrom the results , it shows that no matter affecting the fishing hook cost or bycatch coefficient , the amount of shark can be reduced effectively
by adopting improved fishing gears.

Avaliação de compostos bioativos em frutos nativos do Rio Grande do SulPereira, Marina Couto January 2011 (has links)
O Rio Grande do Sul se destaca por sua riqueza florística, entretanto, muitas espécies frutíferas permanecem desconhecidas, embora possuam potencial para se tornarem competitivas com as espécies já tradicionais. Neste sentido, este trabalho visa aprofundar a caracterização de alguns frutos nativos da região, estimulando a exploração desta biodiversidade, esclarecendo a potencialidade dos produtos e sua utilização em prol dos benefícios a saúde e o avanço da economia local e nacional. Para isso, foi realizada uma caracterização bromatológica e fitoquímica, como também foi verificado o potencial antioxidante de frutos nativos tais como: araticum (Rollinia sylvatica A. St.-Hil.), araçá (Psidium cattleyanum Sabine), butiá (Butia capitata Mart. (Becc.)), gabiroba (Campomanesia xanthocarpa O. Berg.), uvaia (Eugenia pyriformis Cambes.) e tuna (Cereus hildmannianus K. Schum.). A partir dos resultados, pode-se verificar que entre os frutos da família Myrtaceae, a guabiroba destacou-se por apresentar maior quantidade de compostos fenólicos (1495,27 mg/100g), carotenóides (54,35 μg/g), e vitamina C (5,44 mg/ g) como também um excelente potencial antioxidante (90,26 M eq. trolox/g de fruto fresco e 906,63 g de fruto fresco/g DPPH), indicando ser um fruto bastante promissor tanto para consumo in natura quanto para utilização tecnológica, visto que também obteve melhor relação SST/ATT (45,12). Entretanto, esse mesmo fruto se sobressaiu com os teores mais elevados de Al (31,27 μg/g) e Cr (1,80 μg/g), juntamente com a uvaia (1,56 μg/g), que demonstrou quantidades superiores de Fe (21,27 μg/g) e Zn (60,48 μg/g). A uvaia também se destacou pelo elevado teor de carotenóides (50,09 μg/g). O araçá, apesar de apresentar teores de compostos fenólicos e atividade antioxidantes inferiores à guabiroba, ainda assim apresentou-se superior a muitas frutas tradicionalmente consumidas. Quanto aos minerais analisados, o araçá amarelo se destacou pelo elevado teor de Na (828,78 μg/g) e o vermelho de Co (3,27 μg/g). Em relação ao outro grupo de frutos estudado, de famílias botânicas variadas, o butiá e a tuna apresentaram capacidade antioxidante superior à uvaia e à muitas espécies frutíferas tradicionalmente consumidas. O butiá também se destacou com teor mais elevado em carotenóides (39,6 μg/g) e nos minerais Cd (0,06 μg/g) e Ni (4,99 μg/g). A tuna apresentou maior conteúdo de compostos fenólicos totais (1337,28 mg/100g) e predomínio de Ba (7,97 μg/g), Bi (6,36 μg/g), Ga (6,02 μg/g), Mg (1215,54 μg/g ) e Mn (207,90 μg/g). O araticum se sobressaiu quanto a concentração de vitamina C (0,32 mg/g) e no resultado para SST/ATT (41,92), mostrando-se adequado tanto para o consumo in natura como para o processamento. Para este mesmo fruto ainda foi observada quantidade de Cu (80,38 μg/g) acima do recomendado, assim como também teve destaque com maiores concentrações de Pb (0,10 μg/g), Sr (28,95 μg/g), Ca (2579,50 μg/g) e K (11522,03 μg/g). / The Rio Grande do Sul State (Brazil) stands out for its richness flora, however, many fruit species remain unknown, although they have the potential to become competitive with the traditional species. Thus, this work aimed to deepen the characterization of some native fruits of the region, encouraging the exploitation of our biodiversity, preventing biopiracy, clarifying the potential of our products and their use in support of health benefits and advancement of the local and national economy. For this, we performed a phisicochemical and phytochemical characterization, and also was determined the potential of antioxidant custard apple (araticum) (Rollinia sylvatica A. St .- Hil.), Guava (araçá) (Psidium cattleyanum Sabine) coco palm (butiá) (Butia capitata Mart. (becc.)), gabiroba (Campomanesia xanthocarpa O. Berg.), uvaia (Eugenia pyriformis Cambes.) and tuna cactus (tuna) (Cereus hildmannianus K. Schum.). From the results, one can see that among the fruits of the Myrtaceae, the guabiroba stood out due to its greater quantity of phenolic compounds (1495.27 mg/100g), carotenoids (54.35 μg/g), and vitamin C (5.44 mg/g), as well as, an excellent antioxidant potential (90.26 M trolox/g and 906.63 g/g DPPH) could be a promising fruit for both fresh consumption and for use technology, since they also obtained better TSS/TTA ratio (45.12). However, the guabiroba showed the highest levels of Al (31.27 μg/g) and Cr (1.80 μg/g), together with uvaia (1.56 mg/g), which showed higher amounts Fe (21.27 μg/g) and Zn (60.48 μg/g). The uvaia also stood out for presenting a relevant carotenoid content (50.09 μg/g). Yellow guava, although showing a lower phenolic compound content and antioxidant activity then the guabiroba, nevertheless showed much higher values than many traditionally consumed fruit. Regarding minerals, the yellow guava stood out high concentrations of Na (828.78 μg/g) and the red guava Co (3.27 μg/g). The coco palm (25.96 trolox μM/g and 3847.54 g/g DPPH) and tuna cactus (19.61 trolox μM/g 3249.77 g/g DPPH) showed higher antioxidant capacity than many fruit species traditionally consumed. In the other group of fruits studied, in various plant families, the coco palm fruit stood out due to its elevate carotenoid content (39.6 μg/g) and minerals Cd (0.06 μg/g) and Ni (4.99 μg/g). The tuna cactus fruit showed the highest total phenolic compound content (1337.28 mg/100 g) and predominance of Ba (7.97 μg/g), Bi (6.36 μg/g), Ga (6.02 μg/g) Mg (1215.54 μg/g) and Mn (207.90 μg/g). Although the custard apple showed the highest vitamin C content (0.32 mg/g) showed the best result for the TSS/TTA ratio (41.92), and was thus adequate for both in natura consumption and for processing. This fruit was also observed amounts of Cu (80.38 μg/g) above the recommended, as was also stood out for its high concentrations of Pb (0.10 μg/g), Sr (28.95 μg/g), Ca (2579.50 μg/g) and K (11,522.03 μg/g).
