Chestnuts (Castanea Sativa) are produced in Portugal in considerable amounts, thus providing an important economic trade. Furthermore, apart from being eaten in their natural state, they can be used for a multiplicity of industrial applications, either in their natural form or after dehydration. In this work the drying kinetics of different cultivars of chestnuts was investigated, and the experiments were carri...
The sorption isotherm of food material is pertinent in the processing and storage of food products. Desorption isotherms for peeled and unpeeled chestnuts were investigated using the hygrometric technique at 60 ºC and water activity (aw) ranged between 0.989 and 0.23. The experimental data were compared with four widely recommended models in the literature for food sorption is...

Chagas disease, a neglected illness, affects nearly 12-14 million people in endemic areas of Latin America. Although the occurrence of acute cases sharply has declined due to Southern Cone Initiative efforts to control vector transmission, there still remain serious challenges, including the maintenance of sustainable public policies for Chagas disease control and the urgent need for better drugs to treat chaga...
We investigated whether sequestered Trypanosoma cruzi antigens found in heart interstitial dendritic cells (IDCs) contribute to the residual myocarditis found in mice following treatment with benznidazole, a specific chemotherapeutic drug. IDCs are antigen-presenting cells that are MHC-II-receptor dependent. Swiss mice were divided into two experimental groups: the 1st group was infected with the Colombian stra...
O presente estudo, de natureza bibliográfica, objetivou apresentar a Teoria das Representações Sociais e o Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo como opções teórico-metodológicas para o desenvolvimento de pesquisas em enfermagem que tomam por base o saber comum. As Representações Sociais são consideradas como saber popular, mitos, crenças, costumes, que convergem no senso comum e que são socialmente compartilhados. O Di...
OBJETIVO: Descrever a situação da (in)segurança alimentar e sua relação com o estado nutricional de adolescentes e adultos em duas localidades, Gameleira, zona da mata de Pernambuco e São João do Tigre, zona semi-árida da Paraíba, ambas caracterizadas pelo baixo índice de desenvolvimento humano. MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal, com 501 famílias em Gameleira (PE) e 458 famílias, em São João do Tigre (PB), com 1 528 ...
OBJETIVO: Analisar o estado nutricional de menores de cinco anos e sua relação com a situação de (in)segurança alimentar. MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal de 458 famílias, com 558 menores de 5 anos, realizado no município de São João do Tigre. A avaliação da (in)segurança alimentar foi realizada mediante aplicação da Escala Brasileira de Insegurança Alimentar (EBIA). A categorização do estado nutricional foi feita a...
