Objectivo: Avaliar o papel da ingestão precoce de proteínas do leite de vaca (PLV), via biberons na maternidade (BibMat), na etiologia da alergia às PLV (APLV).Material: Foram analisados os processos de 130 crianças a quem foi diagnosticada APLV, por provas de provocação no Hospital Pediátrico (HP) de 1987 a 1993 e ali seguidas.Resultados: Dos 124 lactentes que mamaram, só 11% não tomaram biberons nos primeiros...
O síndrome da morte súbita, inesperada e inexplicada do lactente (MSIL) ocorre normalmente entre 1M e 1 A de vida, com um máximo entre os 2 e os 4M, constituindo a principal causa de morte pós-neonatal nos países desenvolvidos.A MSIL ocorre quase sempre no domicílio e constitui em geral um achado isolado numa família, embora ocasionalmente se repita em irmãos. Em Portugal foi já observada uma família com 6 caso...
O controlo microbiológico de formulações injectáveis visa garantir a isenção de um produto farmacêutico em termos microrganismos, possivelmente patogénicos, que possam induzir sintomas patológicos após a sua administração. Assim, o estudo das técnicas que permitam a eliminação de agentes patogénicos e a sua prevenção é de extrema importância. Nesta área são utilizadas diversas técnicas clássicas para avaliar de...
The ability of inulin, a prebiotic material, as encapsulation matrix was explored. Microcapsules of Raftiline were produced by spray drying inulin solutions at different solids content (5, 15 and 25%) at 120, 155 and 190 °C, according to a Central Composite Rotatable design. Produced capsules were analysed for morphology and size by SEM and physiochemical characterized by DSC, IR and RAMAN. Oregano essential oi...
The aims of this work were to evaluate the physical and antimicrobial properties of biodegradable films composed of mixtures of κ-carrageenan (κ-car) and locust bean gum (LBG) when organically modified clay Cloisite 30B (C30B) was dispersed in the biopolymer matrix. Film-forming solutions were prepared by adding C30B (ranging from 0 to 16 wt.%) into the κ-car/LBG solution (40/60 wt.%) with 0.3 % (w/v) of glycer...
Tese de doutoramento in Chemical and Biological Engineering ; The emerging field of nanotechnology offers new challenges to the food industry either by offering novel tools for the development of strategies to improve food quality and human health, or by the introduction of questions about the behaviour of nanostructures within the human body. Nanotechnology holds a great potential to generate very innovative ...
The transport mechanism of protein-based bioactive compounds (a peptide fraction from whey protein concentrate, glycomacropeptide and lactoferrin), from chitosan films to liquid medium, was studied. Mathematical models were used to discuss the transport mechanism. Data from release experiments was successfully described by a model which accounts for both Fick and Case II transport – the linear superimposition m...
