Among the potential candidates were bioactive compounds from octocorals of the genus Eunicea due to their chemical structures and their wide range of biological activities. Objective: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the quorum sensing inhibition (QSI) and antibacterial activity of compounds previously isolated from two Eunicea species and synthesized alkylglycerols (AKG). Methods: the QSI of three nonpolar compounds and a mixture of AKGs from Eunicea were evaluated by a microtiter plate assay using Chromobacterium violaceum (ATCC 31532). Four naturally occurring, saturated, and enantiomerically pure AKGs, all of which were derived from the chiral precursor (R)-solketal, were synthesized from alkyl chains of 12, 14, 16 and 18 carbons, and their structures were spectroscopically verified by NMR, ESI-MS and optical rotation data. Their QSI by the disc diffusion assay and minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) against 14 clinical bacterial isolates in microtiter plates were determined. Results: cembradiene 1, the AKG mixture and AKG (2S)-3-O-dodecyl-1,2-propanediol 4 inhibit QS at the same concentration as kojic acid (10 µg/well or 20 µg/disc, respectively). In this study, the bioactive compounds 1, stearyl oleate 2, acylglycerol 3 and AKGs 4 and (2S)-3-O-tetradecyl-1,2-propanediol 5 showed in vitro IQS activity for the first time. Additionally, 4 and 5 displayed in vitro antibacterial activity against Listeria innocua and Staphylococcus aureus (MIC = 32 µg/mL for both 4 and 5), Enterococcus faecalis (128 µg/mL and 64 µg/mL respectively), Micrococcus luteus (128 µg/mL for both) and Brevibacillus brevis (Bacillus brevis) (512 µg/mL and 64 µg/mL respectively). Conclusion: results suggest that natural compounds 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 showed QSI, also 4 and 5 have antibacterial activity and they are an interesting alternative to continue researching their effect against pathogenic microorganisms.","PeriodicalId":23515,"journal":{"name":"Vitae-revista De La Facultad De Quimica Farmaceutica","volume":"8 1","pages":"92-103"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89136541","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}

Su uso puede limitarse por su inestabilidad, donde el proceso de inclusion en β-ciclodextrina (β-CD) por fluido supercritico con CO2 (FSC-CO2) es una alternativa para mediar esta desventaja. Objetivos: comparar diferentes condiciones de temperatura y presion de extraccion por FSC-CO2, para determinar cual de estas permite obtener un extracto de Bixa orellana con mayor actividad antioxidante, y evaluar el efecto de la inclusion en β-CD, en dicha capacidad antioxidante. Metodos: se obtuvieron extractos por FSC-CO2 variando condiciones de presion y temperatura: (I) 3583 psi, 35°C, (II) 1413 psi, 35°C, (III) 2184 psi, 45°C, (IV) 5076 psi, 45°C, y (V) 2300 psi, 40°C. Se evaluo la actividad antioxidante de los extractos obtenidos mediante el metodo DPPH, determinando su IC50. Se realizo el complejo de inclusion en β-CD del extracto que presento la mayor actividad antioxidante, por el metodo FSC-CO2, y fue caracterizado por IR, DSC y RMN. Mediante analisis comparativo de los espectros de la β-CD, extracto libre y el complejo extracto/β-CD, se verifico el acomplejamiento, y se evaluo la capacidad antioxidante del complejo de inclusion.

However, its high humidity content and high water activity makes of mango a highly perishable fruit, thus requiring processing alternatives. Osmotic dehydration (OD) is an interesting alternative for the conservation of mango. In OD, binary solutions (Solute + water) and ternary solutions (2 Solutes + water), have been traditionally used, however, more water removal can be achieved using ternary solutions, which leads to the improved organoleptic properties of dehydrated products. Objetives: to evaluate the kinetic water loss (WL), solutes gain (SG), weight reduction (WR), water activity (aw), and volume (Shrinking Coefficient, SC) in green mango (Mangifera indica L. Filipino variety) osmotically dehydrated (OD). Additionally, to calculate water and solutes diffusivity (Def ) for each treatment. Methods: green mango samples, with maturity scale zero, were used. Ternary solutions of sucrose at 40% and NaCl at 3, 6 and 9% were used for OD. The binary solution of sucrose with water as control treatment, was used. In the osmotic process samples were taken out at different times of OD (15, 30, 60, 90, 180, 240, and 300 min). Results: the findings show that at a higher concentration of NaCl, the dehydration kinetics was more rapid, aw and SC were smaller and water and solutes Def were higher. The samples dehydrated with the greatest solutes concentration (40-9%) reached the highest WL, SG, and WR with 89.52, 13.10, and 46.68%, respectively. Coefficients Defw and Defs showed a magnitude order of 10-10 m2/s, which is within the interval of dehydrated foods. Conclusions: this research showed that binary (sucrose + water) and ternary (NaCl + sucrose + water) solutions, are suitable for dehydrating green mango, however, the ternary solutions were more effective.","PeriodicalId":23515,"journal":{"name":"Vitae-revista De La Facultad De Quimica Farmaceutica","volume":"53 1","pages":"8-16"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85403120","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}

Objectives: To evaluate the effect of enzyme and substrate concentration on the degree of hydrolysis (DH) of proteins in the red tilapia ( Oreochromis sp .) viscera (RTV). Methods: The commercial Alcalase 2.4 L enzyme was used at different concentrations to hydrolyse the proteins in RTV at 53.5 °C and a pH of 9.5 in a 1 L magnetically stirred, jacketed, glass batch reactor connected to an automatic titrator. Each experiment was conducted over 6 h in which every consumed volume of base was recorded every 5 min to determine the corresponding DH at each point. Results: The results indicated that increasing the enzyme concentration produced an increase in the DH and in the reaction rate, while increasing the substrate concentration produced a decrease in both parameters. For this reason, a mathematical model was adjusted for the inhibition of substrate from the exponential kinetic Equation d(DH)/dt = a*EXP[-b*(DH)] to explain the behavior of the DH as a function of substrate concentration in this hydrolytic process. The parameters a and b were estimated from a nonlinear regression. Based on these results, the reaction constants were determined as K s =456.75 g L -1 , K 2 =1.2191 min -1 , K d =0.2224 min -1 , K M =1.8963and K 3 = 0.1173 L g -1 min -1 , which allowed the generation of a strong correlation between the predicted and experimental values at the different evaluated operating conditions. This correlation was supported by a low average relative error (ARE) of 3.26%. Conclusion: Under evaluated experimental conditions, the kinetics of the hydrolysis reaction followed a substrate inhibition mechanism, which was adjusted through a typical exponential Equation that involves two parameters (a and b) associated with the kinetic constants (Ks, K 2 , and K d ).","PeriodicalId":23515,"journal":{"name":"Vitae-revista De La Facultad De Quimica Farmaceutica","volume":"5 1","pages":"17-25"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81606091","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}

The functional properties of β-glucans can be lost during the extraction and purification processes. The high viscosity of β-glucans is related to a high molecular weight and its physiological properties in the intestine. Therefore, to characterize the fiber after its extraction and purification is fundamental to understand its possible applications in foods. Objectives: characterize β-glucans extracted (EβG) and compare them with three commercial β-glucans (CβG-A, CβG-B and CβG-C) to identify its possible applications in foods and to evaluate if enzymatic purification affects molecular and structurally the β-glucans. Methods: barley β-glucans were extracted (EβG), characterized by chemical analyzes, rheological behavior, and color, and compared to three commercial β-glucans samples. Then, the extract was purified and its structural and molecular characteristics were calculated. Results: EβG contained 64.38 ± 3.54% of β-glucans, high starch contamination (12.70 ± 1.73%), high content of calcium (8894 mg/kg), pseudoplastic behavior, and dark color (L* = 52.77 ± 0.7). All commercial samples showed low starch contamination, lighter color, and Newtonian behavior. After purification starch and protein contamination decreased (0.85 ± 0.46% and 5.50 ± 0.12% respectively), increased the content of βG (69.45 ± 0.81%) and increased brightness (L* = 92.60 ± 1.70). Purified β-glucans (PβG) showed a molar weight of 690 ± 1.6 kDa and species with degree polymerization 3 (DP3) to 11 (DP11) were identified on the structure. Conclusions: EβG extracts before the purification presented a high viscosity and contamination. The enzymatic purification process was effective and allowed to maintain a high molar mass of PβG and its distinctive molecular structures (species with DP3 and DP4). The commercial samples CβG-A and CβG-B showed a low content of β-glucans.
