Solvent-free synthesis of hydrophobic and amphiphilic esters using a chemically...
Roque, Catarina S.; Castro, Mariana de; Castro, Tarsila G.; Silva, C.; Cavaco-Paulo, Artur; Noro, Jennifer MartinsUsing lipases to catalyze the synthesis of the most differentiated type of compounds remains one of the major challenges among scientists. Seeking more economic and advantageous catalysts is a current goal of green chemistry. In this work, we demonstrate the potential of a chemically modified form of lipase from Thermomyces lanuginosus (cmLTL) for the synthesis of both hydrophobic (heptyl heptanoate, heptyl oct...
Physicochemical properties of new silicone alternatives unraveled by experiment...
Ferreira, Tiago; Rocha, Diana; Freitas, David Silva; Noro, Jennifer Martins; Castro, Mariana de; Roque, Catarina; Guimarães, Diana Isabel PereiraThe cosmetic industry has recognized an increasing demand for environmentally sustainable solutions due to the classification of certain commonly used components as bioaccumulative and hazardous. The European Union has implemented restrictions on the utilization of some components, including silicones, which limit their concentration. The present investigation intends to find new solutions for cosmetic formulat...
Evaluation of water loss and state of hydration during army's physical training
Cardoso, Jeane Rodrigues; Correa, Larissa Rocha; Castro, Mariana de; Fonseca, Alenice AlianeIntroduction: In a practitioner of intense physical activity, and depending on the environment where one performs the activity, the water imbalance can interfere in the hydric homeostasis, leading to the impairment on the individual's performance and health, situation that resembles the military practice, where a good preparation and physical performance are necessary. Objective: This study had the purpose of e...
