Previous issue date: 2010-06-07 / Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte / The aim of this work was to perform the extraction and characterization of xylan from corn cobs and prepare xylan-based microcapsules. For that purpose, an alkaline extraction of xylan was carried out followed by the polymer
characterization regarding its technological properties, such as angle of repose, Hausner factor, density, compressibility and compactability. Also, a low-cost and rapid analytical procedure to identify xylan by means of infrared spectroscopy was studied. Xylan was characterized as a yellowish fine powder with low density and poor flow properties. After the extraction and characterization of the polymer, xylan-based microcapsules were prepared by means of interfacial crosslinking polymerization and their characterization was performed in order to obtain gastroresistant multiparticulate systems. This work involved the most suitable parameters of the preparation of microcapsules as well as the study of the process, scale-up methodology and biological analysis. Magnetic nanoparticles were used as a model system to be encapsulated by the xylan microcapsules. According to the results, xylan-based microcapsules were shown to be resistant to several conditions found along the gastrointestinal tract and they were able to avoid the early degradation of the magnetic nanoparticles / O presente trabalho teve como objetivo a extra??o e caracteriza??o do pol?mero de xilana a partir de res?duos de sabugo de milho e a produ??o de microc?psulas a partir deste pol?mero. O primeiro passo foi a extra??o da xilana em meio alcalino e caracteriza??o deste pol?mero quanto as suas propriedades tecnol?gicas (?ngulo de repouso, fator de Hausner, densidade, compressibilidade e compactabilidade), bem como a elabora??o de uma procedimento r?pido e barato para a identifica??o deste pol?mero atrav?s de espectroscopia de absor??o na regi?o do infravermelho. O pol?mero de xilana foi caracterizado como sendo um p? de cor amarelada de baixa densidade e com propriedades de escoamento pouco favor?veis. Ap?s a obten??o e caracteriza??o do pol?mero, microc?psulas
de xilana foram preparadas atrav?s da reticula??o polim?rica interfacial e caracterizadas a fim de se obter sistemas multiparticulados gastroresistentes. O trabalho foi delineado buscando-se os melhores fatores na t?cnica de prepara??o
das microc?psulas, assim como o estudo do processo, aumento de escala e avalia??o biol?gica. Nanopart?culas magn?ticas foram utilizadas como sistema modelo a ser encapsulado pelas microc?psulas ? base de xilana. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que as microc?psulas de xilana s?o resistentes ?s diversas condi??es encontradas ao longo do trato gastrintestinal e foram capazes de evitar a degrada??o pr?via das nanopart?culas magn?ticas in vitro
