Energy valorization of crude glycerol and sanitary sewage in hydrogen generation by biological processes
(International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, 2020) [Artigo]Biohydrogen production was studied with increased concentrations of crude glycerol (CG) co-digested with sanitary sewage by anaerobic consortium bacteria in anaerobic batch reactors, at 30 °C and initial pH 7.0. The CG was ... -
The new koninginins T-U from Phomopsis stipata, an endophytic fungus isolated from Styrax camporum Pohl
(Phytochemistry Letters, 2020) [Artigo]Two new polyketides, named koninginin T (1) and U (2), were isolated from Phomopsis stipata - an endophytic fungus isolated from Styrax camporum Pohl. The structures of polyketides 1 and 2 were defined through the analysis ... -
Authentication of roasted and ground coffee samples containing multiple adulterants using NMR and a chemometric approach
(Food Control, 2020) [Artigo]Brazil is still the world's largest producer and exporter of coffee. In order to maximize profits, some producers may add lower cost materials (such as corn, barley, or even coffee husks) to commercial coffee. In view of ... -
Spirocyclic lactams and curvulinic acid derivatives from the endophytic fungus Curvularia lunata and their antibacterial and antifungal activities
(Fitoterapia, 2020) [Artigo]Curvularia lunata, isolated from the capitula of Paepalanthus chiquitensis (Eriocaulaceae), was cultured in potato dextrose broth (PDB) medium. The ethyl acetate extract yielded two new spirocyclic γ-lactams (3 and 4), and ... -
Linear peptide analogues from Jatropha's orbitides promote migration of human neonatal foreskin fibroblasts in vitro and collagen deposition
(Journal of the Brazilian Chemical Society, 2019) [Artigo]Orbitides are a class of small naturally occurring cyclic peptides with structural and functional diversities. Their chemical properties make this class feasible to be obtained by solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS). ... -
Bioactive paper platform for detection of hydrogen peroxide in milk
(Spectrochimica Acta - Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy, 2020) [Artigo]This paper describes the development and application of a paper-based analytical device (μPAD) for the determination of hydrogen peroxide, an important adulterant in milk. The method employs the reaction between hydrogen ... -
