The chemical composition and CIELAB color parameters of oil from three aguaje morphotypes ( Mauritia flexuosa L.f.) extracted by supercritical carbon dioxide was investigated. By chromatography (HPLC GC), spectrometry (UV/vis), digital image colorimetry (digital camera), carotenoids, tocopherols, tocotrienols, fatty acids, total polyphenols, space were analyzed. These findings showed that the o...

The enzyme CYP3A4, which belongs to cytochrome P450 complex, is responsible for metabolism most currently on market involved many drug interactions. Hence, interaction this juices some fruits, such as grapefruit, can affect pharmacokinetics various drugs. However, n...

Tropical wetlands are thought to be the most important source of interannual variability in atmospheric methane (CH4) concentrations, yet sparse data prevents them from being incorporated into Earth system models. This problem is particularly pronounced in the neotropics where bottom-up models based on water table depth are incongruent with top-down inversion models suggesting unaccounted sinks...
