O Pará é o maior produtor brasileiro de mandioca (Manihot esculenta Crantz), a qual e destinada principalmente para a obtenção da farinha de mesa, embora a fécula seja o produto mais nobre extraído das suas raízes. O objetivo deste trabalho foi caracterizar as raízes e as féculas de três variedades de mandioca produzidas no estado do Pará. A análise biométrica constatou que não há um padrão de tamanho e de forma para as raízes de mandioca. As féculas obtidas apresentaram elevada pureza em amido (92%) e foram classificadas como "fécula tipo 1", pela legislação brasileira. De acordo com a microscopia eletrônica de varredura, os grânulos de amido das féculas apresentaram forma arredondada e ligeiramente achatada em uma das extremidades, com superfície lisa e tamanhos diferentes para as três variedades. As temperaturas de gelatinização dos amidos das três féculas (T p = 74,4°C) não apresentaram diferença significativa (p 0,05), porém o amido extraído da variedade Pai Ambrósio apresentou a maior entalpia de gelatinização (∆H gel = 5,88 J/g).
The crambe crop is an interesting option for the production of biodiesel, mainly due to the high oil content (35%) and the corn one of the most implanted crops in Brazil. Thus, the objective of this work was to evaluate the allelopathic effect of crambe in the initial development of maize. The experiment was carried out in the laboratory of seed and plant evaluation (LASP) and laboratory of soil physics (LAFIS) of UNIOESTE-Cascavel. The seeds of corn with germination of 93.5% were submitted to four concentrations plus the control in the different parts of the crambe plant, where the growth and mass of corn were valued. The experimental design was completely randomized with 4 replicates per treatment. The statistical analysis consisted of analysis of variance and the means of the treatments were compared by the Tukey test at 5% of significance. The extract of the whole crambe plant stimulated aerial length, root length, fresh and dry mass of corn shoot. Root, stem and leaf extracts inhibited the initial development of maize in relation to growth and fresh and dry shoot mass.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
