    Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Tecnológico, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia de Alimentos, Florianópolis, 2014.A chia (Salvia hispanica) é uma planta cultivada nas Américas do Sul e Central, cuja semente é fonte de antioxidantes naturais e ácidos graxos essenciais. O presente estudo avaliou a obtenção de extratos de torta de chia, subproduto proveniente da extração do óleo de chia. Foram aplicadas as técnicas a baixa pressão como extração em Soxhlet (SOX), ultrassom (US) e maceração (MAC) utilizando etanol (EtOH), hexano (Hex) e acetato de etila (EtOAc) como solventes, a fim de comparar com o processo de extração supercrítica (ESC). As operações de ESC foram realizadas com pressões de 150 bar a 300 bar e temperaturas de 40 °C e 50 °C empregando o CO2 como solvente. Também foi realizada a aplicação de EtOH e EtOAc como cossolventes no processo de ESC em concentrações de 2,5 até 7,5 %. O processo de extração supercrítica sequencial (ESC-S) foi estudado, o qual possui duas etapas de extração, com uma despressurização rápida do sistema entre a primeira e a segunda etapa. A construção da curva cinética e modelagem matemática de processos de ESC e ESC-S foram executadas, além da estimativa de custos de manufatura da instalação de uma unidade industrial de ESC. Todos os extratos obtidos foram submetidos a análises de atividade antioxidante (método ABTS), teor de fenólicos totais (TFT), perfil de ácidos graxos e atividade antimicrobiana. Nas extrações a baixa pressão, os maiores rendimentos foram obtidos utilizando SOX com EtOH (15,4 ± 0,4 %). Nas ESC com CO2 puro, a pressão de 300 bar permitiu alcançar rendimentos de até 10,6 ± 0,2 %, na maior temperatura estudada. A utilização de cossolvente causou aumento no rendimento de extração (11,3 ± 0,1% utilizando EtOH a 7,5%). Os extratos obtidos em extrações a baixa pressão com EtOH e EtOAc obtiveram os melhores valores de TFT e atividade antioxidante. A utilização de cossolvente afetou positivamente os resultados de TFT e atividade antioxidante dos extratos de ESC. O perfil de ácidos graxos dos extratos confirmou altos teores de ácido linoleico e a-linolênico em todos os extratos testados. Extratos obtidos pelas diferentes técnicas mostraram atividade antimicrobiana contra B. cereus. A ESC-S com despressurização rápida teve efeito positivo com relação ao rendimento, onde foi atingido rendimento de 8,7 ± 0,2%, estatisticamente igual ao rendimento obtido em ESC na mesma condição, porém reduzindo o tempo de extração pela metade. A realização da segunda etapa de ESC-S utilizando EtOH 7,5% ocasionou um aumento no TFT dos extratos obtidos. O modelo que melhor se ajustou as curvas experimentais foi o modelo de Martínez et al. (2003). Segundo o modelo de Sovová (1994), para os processos de ESC e primeira etapa de ESC-S, o mecanismo de convecção foi mais representativo. Na segunda etapa de ESC-S o mecanismo de difusão também mostrou representatividade. A ESC-S quando realizada até a etapa de despressurização (ESC-Desp) mostrou ser um processo economicamente viável e lucrativo para aplicação em escala industrial, com valores de extrato competitivos com os valores de mercado, gerando extratos de alta qualidade em um menor tempo de processo.Abstract : Chia (Salvia hispanica) is a plant cultivated in South and Central America, whose the seed is a source of natural antioxidants and essential fatty acids. The present study evaluated the extracts attainment from chia seed cake, which is a byproduct from chia seed oil extraction process. It were applied low-pressure techniques, like Soxhlet extraction (SOX), ultrasound assisted extraction (US) and maceration (MAC) using ethanol (EtOH), hexane (Hex) and ethyl acetate (EtOAc) and as solvents with the objective of comparing with the high pressure process, performed by supercritical fluid extraction (SFE). SFE were performed at pressures from 150 to 300 bar and temperatures of 40 °C and 50 °C, using CO2 as solvent. It was also performed an application of EtOH and EtOAc as cosolvents on SFE process, using concentrations from 2.5 to 7.5%. A sequential supercritical fluid extraction (S-SFE) process was studied, wich includes two steps of extraction, with a fast depressurization of the system between the first and the second step of extraction. The kinetic extraction curves of SFE and S-SFE processes were built and mathematical models adjusted the experimental data. It were also performed an estimative of manufacturing costs from installing a supercritical fluid extraction industrial unit. All extracts was submitted to antioxidant analysis (ABTS method), total phenolics content (TPC), fatty acids profile and antimicrobial analysis. Among low-pressure extraction, the highest yield was achieved using SOX with EtOH (15.4 ± 0.4 %). Among the SFE assays using pure CO2, the pressure of 300 bar allowed to achieve yields up to 10.6 ± 0.2 %, in the highest tested temperature. The use of a cosolvent caused increase in yield (11.3 ± 0.1% using EtOH 7,5%). Extracts obtained by lowpressure techniques using EtOH and EtOAc showed the best values of TPC and antioxidant activity. The using of a cosolvent affected in a positive way the results of TPC and antioxidant activity of SFE extracts. The fatty acids profile of the extracts confirmed the high content of linoleic and a-linolenic acids in all tested extracts. Extracts obtained by different techniques showed antimicrobial activity against B. cereus. SSFE process with fast depressurization caused a positive effect in yield, achieving a yield of 8.7 ± 0.2%, statiscally equal to the yield obtained by SFE using the same condition, but reducing the extraction time by half. The performance of the S-SFE second step using EtOH 7.5% caused an increase in the TPC of the obtained extracts. Martínez et al (2003) was the model which best-adjusted experimental data. According to Sovová s model (1994), in S-SFE first step and SFE processes, the convection mechanism was more representative. In the S-SFE second step, the diffusion mechanism showed to be representative. S-SFE process, when realized until the depressurization step (SFE-Desp), showed to be an economically viable and profitable process on an industrial scale application, with values of extract competitive with market values, generating high quality extracts in a shorter process time

    A comprehensive study of an Upper Cretaceous (Coniacian) siliceous sponge fauna from Bornholm, Denmark was conducted by Brückner (2006), with three new genera and 18 new species described. Among them,the monotypic euplectellid genus Walteriella Brückner,2006 and its type species Walteriella plectilis Brückner,2006 were established based on the following unique characteristics: choanosomal diactines and rare hexactines, missing hypodermalia, autodermal hexactines, and supradermal hexactines and pentactines. The genus name Walteriella was derived from the morphologically similarextant euplectellid genus Walteria Schulze, 1886 from the Western Pacific, South Australia, and the Indian Ocean (Brückner, 2006; Tabachnick et al., 2019).However, Walteriella Brückner, 2006 was recently found to be a junior homonym of Walteriella Kazantsev,2001, a genus of Asian soldier beetles comprising ten species (Kazantsev, 1999; Kazantsev, 2001; Švihla, 2004;Okushima, 2008; Satô et al., 2014). Walteriella Brückner,2006 is therefore invalid due to homonymy and needs to be replaced according to the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN). In recognition of the original author of Walteriella Brückner, 2006, Dr. Anke Brückner, and her extensive contributions to the paleontology of hexactinellid sponges (Brückner, 2006), we here propose Bruckneria nom. nov. (gender feminine) asa new replacement name for Walteriella Brückner, 2006. The type species Walteriella plectilis Brückner, 2006 is therefore transferred to Bruckneria as Bruckneria plectilis (Brückner, 2006) comb. nov. The holotype (SMF XXVI362: Figure 1), including both a part (SMF XXVI 362a)and counterpart (SMF XXVI 362b), is currently housed at the Senckenberg Museum of Natural History in Frankfurt, Germany. The publication and nomenclatural acts herein are registered under Zoo Bank LSID urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:F8EDB286-64B8-4125-907E-4863368BF2DAand urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:ECD2231A-81F0-4206-B9E4-41B8076DCA7B.Notably, Walteriella is a popular name in nomenclature, and Walteriella Brückner, 2006 is not the first junior homonym of Walteriella Kazantsev, 2001 (Arthropoda)to be discovered. Mendoza-Palmero and Hsiao (2020)addressed the homonymy of Walteriella Mendoza Palmero, Mendoza-Franco, Acosta and Scholz, 2019(Platyhelminthes), a genus of gill parasites found in South American catfishes (Mendoza-Palmero et al., 2019),and proposed Boegeriella Mendoza-Palmero and Hsiao 2020 (Platyhelminthes) as a new replacement name. Furthermore, the genus name Walteriella Kazantsev, 2001(Arthropoda) is itself a replacement name for Walteria Kazantsev, 1999 (Arthropoda), which was preoccupied by Walteria Schulze, 1886 (Porifera) (Kazantsev, 2001).Both Walteria and Walteriella (e.g. Walteria Kazantsev,1999 [Arthropoda], Walteriella Brückner, 2006 [Porifera],and Walteriella Mendoza-Palmero, Mendoza-Franco, Acosta and Scholz, 2019 [Platyhelminthes]) should be avoided in future zoological nomenclatural acts

    The wang-fa 王法 (Public Moral Principles of Officialdom) and the chia-li 家禮 (Private Moral Principles of Officials and their Family members) under the Chin

    Under the Han 漢, the hsiao 孝 and t’i 悌 or filiality to parents and elders had been looked upon and encouraged as the fundamental morals of people, both intellectual and general. The intellectual people at that time were actual and potential government officials and were classified as shih-jên 士人 who had been considered as the models of general people. They were expected to observe chia-li 家禮 that is to say, the moral principles to be followed by themselves and their family members. These moral principles, though different according to families, had been based on ethical teachings described in the Confucian canons. It was not until the end of the Later Han dynasty that these chia-li were systematized and shaped into such uniformity as applicable to every shih-jên and their family members.The chia-li, thus systematized into uniformity under the Later Han and the Wei, developed under the period of Chin into the wang-fa 王法 (imperial regulations) which meant the moral principles to be observed by governmental officials in general. In other words, the wang-fa took the place of chia-li and was established as the basis of morality which controlled the people of shih-jên class in general.Many researches have already been made in connection with the attitudes against morals of Confucianism of intellectual people under the Chin, in order to make clear the difference of faithfulness to the Confucian morality between the people of Han and Chin. These researches conclude that the shih-jên under the Chin had been less controlled by the chia-li, that is to say, wang-fa, than those under the Han. The conclusion may be right in the sense that it has pointed out one of the specialties of moral attitudes of the Chin intellectuals. But, one should not neglect another important speciality of the period in which started a new relationship between the government and the people of shih-jên class in connection with the observance of wang-fa developed from chia-li.In this article, the author tried to clarify how the people shih-jên class reacted against the authority of the government concerning the following five subjects:(1) The relationship between the the wang-fa and chia-li in the ch’ing-i 清議 and hsiang-lun 郷論:(2) How much the chia-hui 家諱 or family taboos influenced the governmental regulations:(3) The so-called Ling-shu 令書 or Book of Regulations of the year of hsin-wei 辛未 under the Eastern Chin:(4) The relationship between the refusal of governmental appointment and the chia-li under the Eastern Chin: and(5) The chia-li which had been observed customarily by the people of shih-jên class and the wang-fa.journal articl
