Production of bacterial cellulose nanocrystals via enzymatic hydrolysis and eva...
Soeiro, Victória S.; Tundisi, Louise L.; Novaes, Letícia C. L.; Mazzola, Priscila G.; Aranha, Norberto; Grotto, Denise; Júnior, José M. O.This study aimed to obtain the bacterial cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) by enzymatic hydrolysis and verify the CNC application as coating material in alginate particles. Therefore, the production of CNC was carried out through two enzymatic hydrolysis methods involving a time period of 48 and 72 h. 0.35 mg of dry mass of cellulose was produced approximately 1.6 × 1011 CNC/mL. The CNC obtained by enzymatic hydroly...
Curcumin encapsulation in nanostructures for cancer therapy: a 10-year overview
D'Angelo, Natália A.; Noronha, Mariana A.; Kurnik, Isabelle S.; Câmara, Mayra C. C.; Vieira, Jorge; Abrunhosa, Luís; Martins, Joana T.Curcumin (CUR) is a phenolic compound present in some herbs, including Curcuma longa Linn. (turmeric rhizome), with a high bioactive capacity and characteristic yellow color. It is mainly used as a spice, although it has been found that CUR has interesting pharmaceutical properties, acting as a natural antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antitumoral agent. Nonetheless, CUR is a hydrophobic compou...

Immobilization of antimicrobial peptides from Lactobacillus sakei subsp. sakei ...
Malheiros, Patrícia S.; Jozala, Angela F.; Pessoa-Jr., Adalberto; Vila, Marta M. D. C.; Balcão, Victor M.; Franco, Bernadette D. G. M.Lactobacillus sakei subsp. sakei 2a is a bacteriocinogenic lactic acid bacterium isolated from Brazilian pork sausage, which produces antimicrobial peptides (bacteriocins) able to control the growth of important foodborne pathogens. These antimicrobial peptides were immobilized by physical entrapment in bacterial cellulose (BC) membranes produced by Gluconacetobacter xylinus, aiming at improving their antimicro...
