Objective: The present study aimed at evaluating the storage stability of microencapsulated palm (Elaeis guineensis) and urucum (Bixa orellana) oil carotenoids by spray drying, depending on the composition of the encapsulation matrix. Methodology: a comparison was made between two types of formulations, a layer composed of isolated soy protein and a double layer composed of isolated soy protein and pectin. The procedure was split into three stages: 1) formulation of stable emulsions; 2) spray drying and 3) characterization of the microcapsules by evaluation of parameters such as encapsulation efficiency, color, humidity and stability of carotenoids over a period of 45 days. Conclusion: the addition of pectin as a double-layer encapsulation material is favorable for all the evaluated parameters except humidity, for which it was not possible to analyze its response during drying","PeriodicalId":15033,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Biotechnology & Bioengineering","volume":"201 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77984691","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has evolved as a curse to the human civilization and at the present situation, where most of the cities in the world are on lockdown. The first genome sequence data of SARS-CoV-2 (CoVid19) and their reports that followed concluded that it was a member of the genus Betacoronavirus and has a bat reservoir. To understand its origin and evolution, we conducted a deep comparative study by comparing the genomes of bat SARS CoV and other SARS CoVs (including human SARS CoV of German isolate). Results revealed that CoVid19 genomes from isolates of China, India, Italy, Nepal, and the United States of America has sequence similarity of 79-80% only with the bat SARS CoV and it has sequence similarity of approximately 60% with the human SARS CoV of German isolate. Whereas, the sequence similarity within the CoVid19 genomes of these countries was 99-100%. If the SARS CoV infection happened to human through the SARS CoV of bat origin, it should have sequence similarity of more than 99% which was absent in this case. Phylogenetic analysis revealed, bat SARS CoV did not fall with the group of SARS CoV of China, India, Italy, Nepal, and USA isolates. The genome analysis revealed the presence of multiple microsatellite repeats sequences.

Materials and methods: The observations were carried out on cats in conditions of superficial (27 cats) or deep anesthesia (13 cats out of 27) and irritation of the vagus nerve with electrical impulses (14 cats out of 27). The right vagus nerve on cat’s neck was allocated and cut at the level of the lower edge of thyroid cartilage. The central end was inserted into a glass tube. Before the cut end in the transverse plane, a scanner from the unit, which creates a high-frequency electromagnetic field was installed. The glow from the scanner were recorded by a video camera through the microscope. At the same time, the ECG was recorded. Based on the ECG signal, for the processing we took the centers of glow related to the heart rhythm. The results were processed in the \"STATISTIKA 6.0\" program. Results: In superficial anesthesia, the number of excitable efferent fibers was 350 or 70.0% of the available ones. In case of deep anesthesia, 193 or 38.6% accordingly. In case of nerve stimulation above the transection site all available efferent fibers have been excitable.
