Multivariate calibration, partial least squares (PLS) and artificial neural network (ANN) methods were used in previous studies using other electrodes for this determination. In this new study, besides ANN and PLS, a hybrid model that combines PLS and NN, namely PLS-Neural was used. Also, samples of industrial cachaças were incorporated into the study in addition to artisanal samples. The quality of the methods was evaluated in terms of coefficient of determination (R2) and root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP). F test was used for comparing methods at confidence level of 95%. Based on these studies, it was found that although all methods show good results, the method employing neural networks stands out in the determination of copper in samples of cachaça. All methods proved to be fast and relatively low-cost, and they can be used for such analyses.","PeriodicalId":19680,"journal":{"name":"Orbital: The Electronic Journal of Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41737357","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}

With the deficiency in conventional water and sewage treatments, this work seeks alternatives for the mitigation of these pollutants, proposing the role of heterogeneous photocatalysis in the degradation of drugs, in this case, sodium diclofenac (SDF). Photocatalytic tests were performed using a bench system. The samples obtained were quantified using a colorimetric method with the aid of a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The main observation was intense and rapid degradation of the drug in the first 10 min, indicating a reduction in the concentration of 71.05%. For the periods of 0-10 min and 10-60 min, two photodegradation regimes were estimated, with the first regime having an apparent rate constant of 0.12394 min-1 and the second of 0.01601 min-1. Toxicity bioassays were performed with the aid of Artemia salina, determining a 50% lethal concentration of 4.45 x 10-4 molL-1. When performing a new photocatalysis to determine the toxicity of the waste generated it was possible to observe a significant decrease in toxicity in the first 30 min, reaching a total reduction in 120 min.","PeriodicalId":19680,"journal":{"name":"Orbital: The Electronic Journal of Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45155785","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}

Protium ovatum Engl., belongs to the Burseraceae family and is a shrub tree found mainly in Brazil, in the Cerrado biome, and has medicinal, food and aromatic uses. This study aims to investigate the chemical composition and the anti-Malassezia furfur and anticandidal activities of essential oils (EOs) from Protium ovatum ripe fruit (RF-EO) and unripe fruit (UF-EO). The EOs antifungal activities were determined by microdilution broth methodology. GC-FID and GC-MS analyses showed that limonene, α-pinene and myrcene were the major components of both EOs. MIC values of RF-EO and UF-EO against M. furfur were 375 and 1500 µg/mL, respectively. RF-EO exhibited MIC values between 62.5 and 250 µg/mL while UF-EO was slightly active (> 1000 µg/mL) against Candida species. In addition, RF-EO showed antibiofilm activity against Candida species and was not toxic to C. elegans larvae. This study suggests that EOs from P. ovatum could be an alternative therapeutic option for infectious diseases caused by M. furfur and Candida species.","PeriodicalId":19680,"journal":{"name":"Orbital: The Electronic Journal of Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45548437","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}
