The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of pasteurization, lyophilization and spray-drying on the lipid profile of donated human milk (DHM) at different lactation stages. Nine frozen samples of colostrum, transitional and raw mature human milk (HM) were collected from the Human Milk Bank (HMB) of the Hospital Universitário de Maringá (HUM). Samples were thawed and pooled according to lactation stage. Thereafter, it was submitted to pasteurization, lyophilization and spray-drying processes and later the fatty acid (FA) composition and the lipid profile analyses were performed. Gas chromatograph (GC) with flame ionization detector (FID) and electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometer (MS) were used, respectively. In the FA composition analysis, it was observed that the same classes of saturated FA (SFA), monounsaturated FA (MUFA) and polyunsaturated FA (PUFA) were preserved throughout the process and in all lactation stages. The lipid profiles were also preserved after processing. Therefore, the lyophilization and spray-drying processes are promising techniques to preserve the DHM in the HMB, once the components evaluated were preserved, and both techniques facilitate the transport and storage, as the techniques reduce the sample volume.

Abstract Objective: To evaluate the association between dose of skin-to-skin contact (SSC) per day and initiation time with the occurrence of deaths in newborns with weight up to 1800g. Method: Multicentric cohort in five Brazilian neonatal units, including newborns with a birth weight of ≤1800g. The time of SSC was registered in individual file, by the team or family during the hospitalization. Maternal and newborn data were obtained through questionnaires applied to mothers and in medical records. Classification Tree was used for data analysis. Results: The performance of the first SSC after 206h was significantly associated with death (p = 0.02). Although there was no association between SSC/day and death (p = 0.09), the number of deaths among those who performed more than 146.9 minutes/day was lower (3;1.5%) than among those who performed this practice for a shorter time (13;6.4%), a fact considered of great clinical importance. Early and late infections present statistically significant associations with the outcome. The chance of death was equal to zero when there was no early infection in the group with the longest duration of SSC. This probability was also equal to zero in the absence of late sepsis for the group with less than 146.9 minutes/day of SSC. Conclusions: The first SSC before 206 hours of life is recommended in order to observe a reduction in the risk of neonatal death. Staying in SSC for more than 146.9 min/day seems to be clinically beneficial for these neonates mostly when it was associated with the absence of infection.

The present work intends to obtain and characterize a milk by-product: the human whey (HW), in order to avoid the excessive disposal of human milk (HM). The characterization was performed through analyzes of the chemical composition and fatty acids (FAs) and the triacylglycerol (TAG) lipid profile. The results indicated that the chemical composition altered significantly after the HW obtained, except for the percentage of ash and carbohydrates. About the FA composition, it was observed that strictly essential FA, essential FA and other FAs found in HM remained present in HW. For the nutritional lipids quality, the atherogenicity and the thrombogenicity indices presented desirable values, and the TAGs lipid profile revealed a variation in the analyzed samples. Therefore, it can be concluded that the characterized HW has potential for application in isolated form or to be used as an ingredient in other foods.

RESUMEN Introducción: Investigaciones recientes han informado del potencial citotóxico de las hidrazonas contra varias líneas de células cancerosas. Objetivo: Evaluar la actividad anticancerígena in vitro y el perfil farmacocinético de seis compuestos hidrazónicos sintetizados, identificados como vainillina 1-ftalazinilhidrazona (VAN-1); vainillina 2,4-dinitrofenilhidrazona (VAN-2); fenilhidrazona cinamal-dehído (CIN-1); cinamaldehído de isonicotinoil hidrazona (CIN-2); cinamalde-hído 1-ftalazinilhidrazona (CIN-3); y 2,4-dinitrofenilhidrazona cinamaldehído (CIN-4). Se evaluó la actividad citotóxica frente a cuatro líneas celulares cancerosas. Metodología: Los parámetros farmacocinéticos de absorción, distribución, metabolismo, excreción y toxicidad (ADME/T) de las hidrazonas se evaluaron mediante el programa PreADMET. Resultados: Las hidrazonas derivadas del cinamaldehído (CIN-1 y CIN-2) mostraron una alta actividad citotóxica contra las líneas celulares leucémicas (HL-60) y glioblastomas (SF-295). El perfil farmacocinético de las hidrazonas mostró que, en general, las hidrazonas mostraban características satisfactorias de ADME/T. Además, se observó que CIN-2 presentó el perfil in silico más prometedor, presentando alta absorción intestinal, perfil de distribución deseable relacionado con la unión a proteínas plasmáticas, excreción renal adecuada y baja toxicidad. El perfil ADME/T del compuesto CIN-1 destacó su potencial como agente antineoplásico prometedor con acción sobre el SNC, más específicamente contra los glioblastomas.

SUMMARY Introduction: Recent research has reported the cytotoxic potential of hydrazones against various strains of cancer cells. Aim: To evaluate the anticancer activity in vitro and the pharmacokinetic profile of six synthesized hydrazonic compounds, identified as vanillin 1-phthalazinylhydrazone (VAN-1); 2,4-dinitrophenylhydra-zone vanillin (VAN-2); phenylhydrazone cinnamaldehyde (CIN-1); isonicotinoyl hydrazone cinnamaldehyde (CIN-2); cinnamaldehyde 1-phthalazinylhydrazone (CIN-3); and 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone cinnamaldehyde (CIN-4). The cytotoxic activity was evaluated against four strains of cancer cells. Methodology: The pharmacokinetic parameters of absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADME/T) of the hydrazones were evaluated using the PreADMET program. Results: Hydrazones derived from cinnamaldehyde (CIN-1 and CIN-2) showed high cytotoxic activity against leukemic (HL-60) and glioblastomas (SF-295) cell lines. The pharmacokinetic profile of the hydrazones showed that, in general, the hydrazones presented satisfactory characteristics of ADME/T. In addition, it was observed that CIN-2 presented the most promising in silico profile, showing high intestinal absorption, desirable distribution profile related to plasma protein binding, adequate renal excretion, and low toxicity. The ADME/T profile of the CIN-1 compound highlighted its potential as a promising antineoplastic agent with action of the CNS, more specifically against glioblastomas.

A novel free PhotoMetrix UVC is proposed for both the operation of a universal serial bus video camera (UVC) and multivariate image analysis, allowing a full solution for point-of-use analysis. A UVC was placed in an open-source 3D-printed chamber illuminated by a white light-emitting diode (LED) with controlled intensity of light. The digital images captured were converted into red, green, and blue (RGB) histograms, and regression models were used within the app. As a proof-of-concept, four adulterants in raw milk samples were determined. The coefficient of determination (R2Cal) for all models was higher than 0.99, and no significant differences (p < 0.05) between the measured and predicted values were identified. The root mean square error of calibration (RMSEC) and root mean square error of cross validation (RMSECV) were satisfactory, with values less than 0.1 and 0.7 g L-1, respectively. The recoveries ranged from 90 to 120% in spiked milk samples, and partial least square (PLS) models showed root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) of 0.28, 0.33, 0.48 and 0.39 g L-1 for chloride, hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide and starch, respectively. The PhotoMetrix UVC app was feasible for the colorimetric chemical analysis using a smartphone improving the applicability, mobility, and usability.

Considering the increasing number of low cost vegetable oil product adulterations, it is necessary to assess the authenticity of the lipid sources used in the dog food manufacture, consequently different brands and classifications of feed were analyzed to verify the product authenticity by gas chromatography (GC) with flame ionization detector (FID) and by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). Fatty acid (FA) composition analysis was performed to compare the FAs amount in samples with the respective guarantee levels stated by the manufacturers on its product label. Gas chromatography with flame ionization detector (GC-FID) results for omega-3 and 6 percentages are within the limits presented by each manufacturer, while the timnodonic + cervonic acids amount information presented on feed sample labels is not in accordance with GC-FID results. Consequently, the samples were analyzed by ESI-MS, the results exposed the chicken oil presence in the feed and eicosapentaenoic (EPA) + docosahexaenoic (DHA) acids absence, since no lipid profiles similar to fish oils or triacylglycerols (TAGs) containing these two FAs were found. Thus, the information presented on labels are in disagreement with the results obtained both by GC-FID FA composition analysis and by ESI-MS lipid profile analysis. Principal component analysis (PCA) confirmed that the main contribution was from FAs found by GC-FID.

Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) is known for its bioactive compounds with high antioxidant potential and pharmacological properties, such as antibacterial, antidepressant and anti-inflammatory. These properties are attributed to the presence of (poly)phenolic compounds. In the literature there is no extraction of these compounds with a totally non-toxic solvent, capable of applying the extract directly to the food. This work aimed to optimize the extraction conditions of bioactive compounds from the rosemary leaves using water as solvent. According to the analysis of variance parameters, a cubic model of high order of significance was obtained with adjusted R2 (R squared) > 0.947. The optimal conditions of the antioxidant potential for conventional and ultrasonic agitation were: temperature 70 °C, 30 min of extraction and the solvent/solute ratio of 25, resulting in an antioxidant potential of 6861 and 7126 µmol L−1 Trolox, respectively. The electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI(−)-MS/MS) analysis showed the presence of antioxidant compounds such as: carnosol (m/z 329.20), rosmanol (m/z 345.03) and rosmarinic (m/z359.14) acids. The response surface methodology evaluated the influence of the main parameters of the bioactive compounds extraction from rosemary using only water as solvent, in addition to the use of less time and sample mass, resulting in lower cost.

This work reports the theoretical and experimental study of fragmentation reactions in the gas phase of five phenolic acids using triple quadrupole mass spectrometry by electrospray ionization in negative ionic mode, as well as the isotope exchange experiments. MS/MS spectra were analyzed to suggest the fragmentation mechanisms, while theoretical calculations at the theory level B3LYP/6-311+G** were performed to expose the proposed mechanisms viability for this class of compounds. As expected, compounds with aromatic methoxy substitution presented •CH3 radical elimination as the principal fragmentation pathway, forming dystonic ions. Compounds without methoxy substituents dissociate with higher energies losing the CO2, CO and H2O. The isotopic marking experiments indicated the exchange of hydrogens by deuterases in the hydroxyl protons, which corroborates with the proposed mechanisms.

The developed method (DM) allows to perform experiments in shorter time with reduced amount of sample and reagent for fatty acids (FA) determination in fermented milk samples. Design Expert software was employed to discover the greatest sonication time (7 and 20 min) and concentration for alkaline and acidic reactions (0.70 and 1.5 mol L-1). Validation procedures were applied in yogurt samples with diverse fat content, ranging from 1.22 to 2.83%, being in agreement with acceptable values. Besides, the intraday relative standard deviation (RSD) (1.86%) and interday RSD (4.23%) values confirmed the good accuracy of the proposed method for FA derivatization.

In this study, a rapid and simple analytical method was proposed, based on protein precipitation as sample preparation for simultaneous determination of tetracycline, oxytetracycline, penicillin G and ceftiofur in raw milk by ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). The method was applied to raw milk samples from dairy cows medicated with tetracycline for subclinical mastitis. Samples were collected from the adjacent teat to the teat treated with tetracycline of eight different cows at 24, 48, 72 and 96 h after treatment. The limits of quantification of the proposed method ranged between 1 and 5 ng g-1 and limits of detection ranged between 0.1 and 0.5 ng g-1. The recoveries ranged from 61 to 111% and the linear range was 1 to 2064 ng g-1 for tetracycline and oxytetracycline, and 5 to 2064 ng g-1 for penicillin G and ceftiofur. Approximately 75 and 63% of the treated animals revealed more tetracycline than legally recommended at 72 and 96 h since last treatment, respectively.

Due to the amount of pigments, sugars and fibers found in fruits, the fatty acid quantification process leads to errors, such as its amount underestimation in the matrix. Therefore, the proposed method allows performing experiments in shorter time with reduced amount of sample and reagent. Design Expert software was used to find the validated time for alkaline and acidic reactions, which were six and eight minutes, respectively, and both concentration was 0.5 mol L-1. The validation was made for avocado pulp and different fruits were used for application of the method, such as: apple, mango, coconut and another avocado variety. Accuracy values ranged from 89.05 to 100.21%, being in accordance with acceptable values. Also the relative standard deviation (RSD)intra-day (0.30 to 1.30%) and the RSDinter-day values (0.32 to 1.44%) confirmed that the proposed method for fatty acid derivatization has good precision.

This study evaluated the incorporation of β-carotene, lutein and lycopene into tilapia (genetically improved farmed tilapia, GIFT) fillets supplemented through 0, 20 and 40 days, and their influence on the fatty acid composition and nutritional quality of raw and grilled fillets. A control diet and a diet containing those carotenoids were elaborated with the same lipid source (soybean oil). For carotenoids analysis, the extraction was performed according to the literature, employing acetone and hexane. The relative intensities of m/z ratios of those carotenoids ions were obtained by ultraperformance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry with chemical ionization at atmospheric pressure (UPLC-APCI MS/MS), and an increase of carotenoid concentration in the supplemented fillets was observed, especially after the grilling process (180 ºC for 15 min). An increase in the concentration of total carotenoids in grilled fillets (75 and 35% higher than raw fillets, for 20 and 40 days of supplementation, respectively, corresponding to 8.32 and 2.42 µg β-carotene g-1 sample) was also observed. Therefore, the carotenoids promoted the stability of lipid oxidation in grilled samples; fact that can be correlated with antioxidant effect of these compounds, it can be also explained by the breakdown of carotenoids physical barrier and the conditions used in the grilling process. Moreover, acceptable n-6/n-3 indices and recommended polyunsaturated fatty acids/saturated fatty acids (PUFA/SFA) values were observed in supplemented fillets. Consequently, lutein, β-carotene and lycopene were considered viable as additive on fish diet, since the supplementation promoted the increase of food quality, even after preparation for consumption.

Omega-3 fish oil supplements are widely consumed as source of eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) acids, presenting beneficial effects on human health. This study aimed to evaluate fifteen brands of omega-3 fish oil supplements available in Brazilian market in order to estimate the Brazilian reality regarding those supplements. Twelve fatty acids were quantified by gas chromatography with a flame ionization detector (GC-FID), and lipid profile were obtained via mass spectrometry fingerprinting using direct electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) to assess the form in which fatty acids are present as well as the possible fraud existence. Among all analyzed samples, thirteen brands were revealed as EPA and DHA sources (90.2-440.3 and 77.8-302.3 mg g-1lipid, respectively) in triacylglycerols (TAG) or ethyl esters (EE) form. However, two brands were discovered with addition of large amounts of soybean oil, leading the final consumer to ingest this low-cost oil believing that they are consuming adequate doses of EPA and DHA.

Abstract Alpha-thalassemias are among the most common genetic diseases in the world. They are characterized by hypochromic and microcytic anemia and great clinical variability, ranging from a practically asymptomatic phenotype to severe anemia, which can lead to intrauterine or early neonatal death. Deletions affecting the α-globin genes, located on chromosome 16p13.3, are the main causes of α-thalassemia. Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) can be used to detect rearrangements that cause α-thalassemia, particularly large deletions involving the whole α cluster and/or deletions in the HS-40 region. Here, MLPA was used to investigate the molecular basis of α-thalassemia in five unrelated patients, three of whom had Hb H disease. In addition to the -α3.7 deletion identified in the patients with Hb H disease, four different α0 deletions removing 15 to 225 kb DNA segments were found: two of them remove both the α genes, one affects only the regulatory element (HS-40) region, and another one extends over the entire α cluster and the HS-40 region. These results illustrate the diversity of α-thalassemia deletions in the Brazilian population and highlight the importance of molecular investigation in cases that present with microcytosis and hypochromia without iron deficiency and normal or reduced Hb A2 levels..
