Obviously, this was not an easy path, however, I learned in life that tough challenges are only given to the ones that can overcome them. None of this would be possible without the crucial help of essential people in my life. Firstly, I would like to thank to ISCTE-IUL in the person of Professor Vasco Gonçalves, for all the support during these two years. Afterwards, I must thank to my mother and sister, for all the encouragement and constant worry about myself, never letting me give up of anything. To my godfather which is always a source of wisdom and apprenticeship with whom I learn in every conversation that we have. Finally, to my father that will always be my example and to whom I devote all my achievements in life. i Business Plan: Biological Milk Production in Azores – BioAçores - 2020 Resumo De acordo com Mahatma Gandhi, 1“The Earth provides enough to satisfy every person’s need but not every person’s greed”. -
Agency Response Letter GRAS Notice No. GRN 000675
. Janet Oesterling Novozymes North America, Inc. 77 Perry Chapel Church Road Franklinton, NC 27525 Re: GRAS Notice No. GRN 000675 Dear Ms. Oesterling: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA, we) completed our evaluation of GRN 000675. We received the notice, dated October 10, 2016, that you submitted in accordance with the agency’s proposed regulation, proposed 21 CFR 170.36 (62 FR 18938; April 17, 1997; Substances Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS); the GRAS proposal) on July 17, 2016, and filed it on October 14, 2016. We received amendments containing clarifying information on February, 22, 2017 and March 09, 2017. FDA published the GRAS final rule on August 17, 2016 (81 FR 54960), with an effective date of October 17, 2016. As GRN 000675 was pending on the effective date of the GRAS final rule, we requested some additional information consistent with the format and requirements of the final rule. We received an amendment responding to this request on October 24, 2016. The subject of the notice is xylanase enzyme preparation produced by Trichoderma reesei carrying a xylanase gene from Talaromyces leycettanus (xylanase enzyme preparation). The notice informs us of the view of Novozymes North America, Inc. (Novozymes) that xylanase enzyme preparation is GRAS, through scientific procedures, for use as an enzyme at levels up to 48.33 mg Total Organic Solids (TOS) per kg raw material in brewing, cereal beverage processing, baking, and processing of cereal grains such as corn, wheat, barley, and oats. Commercial enzyme preparations that are used in food processing typically contain an enzyme component that catalyzes the chemical reaction as well as substances used as stabilizers, preservatives, or diluents. -

Haritos ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Committee Member Dean of the Graduate School Dr. Chelsea N. Monty Dr. George R. Newkome ___________________________________ Date ii ABSTRACT Trichoderma reesei RUT-C30 was cultivated in shaker flasks and pH-controlled, agitated batch fermentations to study the effects of soy-based media on the production of cellulase, xylanase, and pectinase (polygalacturonase) for the purposes of soybean polysaccharide hydrolysis. Growth on defatted soybean flour as sole nitrogen source was compared to the standard combination of ammonium sulfate, proteose peptone, and urea. Carbon source effect was also examined for a variety of substrates, including lactose, microcrystalline cellulose (Avicel), citrus pectin, soy molasses, soy flour hydrolysate, and soybean hulls (both pretreated and natural). Flask study results indicated exceptional enzyme induction by Avicel and soybean hulls, while citrus pectin, soy molasses, and soy flour hydrolysate did not promote enzyme production. Batch fermentation experiments reflected the flask system results, showing the highest cellulase and xylanase activities for systems grown with Avicel and soybean hulls at near-neutral pH levels, and the highest polygalacturonase activity resulting from growth on lactose and soybean hulls at lower pH levels, 4.0 to 4.5. -

Abstract Prevotella copri DSM18205 is a bacterium, classified under Bacteroidetes that can be found in the human gastrointestinal tract (GIT). The role of P. copri in the GIT is unclear, and elevated numbers of the microbe have been reported both in dietary fiber- induced improvement in glucose metabolism but also in conjunction with certain inflammatory conditions. -

INVERTASE from SACCHAROMYCES CEREVISIAE
INVERTASE from SACCHAROMYCES CEREVISIAE New specifications prepared at the 57th JECFA (2001) and published in FNP 52 Add 9 (2001); previously prepared at the 15th JECFA (1971) as part of the specifications for “Carbohydrase from Saccharomyces species”, published in FNP 52. The use of this enzyme was considered to h be acceptable by the 57t JECFA (2001) if limited by Good Manufacturing Practice. SYNONYMS INS No. 1103 SOURCES Produced by the controlled submerged aerobic fermentation of a non- pathogenic and non-toxigenic strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and extracted from the yeast cells after washing and autolysis. Active principles β-Fructofuranosidase (synonym: invertase, carbohydrase, saccharase) Systematic names and β-Fructofuranosidase (EC 3.2.1.26; C.A.S. No. 9001-57-4) numbers Reactions catalysed Hydrolyses sucrose to yield glucose and fructose DESCRIPTION Typically white to tan amorphous powders or liquids that may be dispersed in food grade diluents and may contain stabilisers; soluble in water and practically insoluble in ethanol and ether. FUNCTIONAL USES Enzyme preparation Used in confectionery and pastry applications GENERAL Must conform to the General Specifications and Considerations for SPECIFICATIONS Enzyme Preparations Used in Food Processing (see Volume Introduction) CHARACTERISTICS IDENTIFICATION The sample shows invertase activity See description under TESTS TESTS Invertase activity Principle Invertase hydrolyses the non-reducing β-d-fructofuranoside residues of sucrose to yield invert sugar. The invert sugar released is then reacted with 3.5 dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS). The colour change produced is proportional to the amount of invert sugar released, which in turn is proportional to the invertase activity present in the sample. -
