Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the fermentation process of Lacticaseibacillus casei in the açaí juice, and to evaluate the addition of fructooligosaccharides and sucrose. The organic acids, anthocyanins, polyphenolic compounds, and antioxidant activity were also investigated during fermentation. Moreover, the impact of sucrose and sucralose on microbial viability and sensory acceptance of synbiotic products was evaluated during 42 days storage at refrigerated conditions. The conditions for synbiotic juice production were the initial pH of 6.1 and fermentation undertaken at 28 °C for 22 hr. During fermentation, the higher viability was obtained when a combination of 40 g/L of FOS+10 g/L of sucrose was used (9.70 ± 0.01 log CFU/mL). The lactic acid increased from 0.82 to 1.29 g/L during the fermentation while citric acid decreased from 1.05 to 0.75 g/L. The cyanidin-3-O-rutinoside, polyphenolic compounds, and antioxidant activity increased. Thus, fermentation improved the functional value of the beverage. The L. casei viability reduced from 9.71 ± 0.04 to 8.90 ± 0.06 log CFU/ mL in the juice with sucrose, and from 9.71 ± 0.04 to 8.71 ± 0.14 log CFU/ mL in the juice with sucralose. Thus, the açaí juice is a viable matrix for the synbiotic food, which allows the viability maintenance during the storage. Regarding sensory acceptance, the internal preference mapping indicated an increase in the color preference with the storage of synbiotic juices. However, the flavor and overall acceptance reduced with storage. Nevertheless, the flavor and overall acceptance of juice with sucralose were better than the juice with sucrose. After 42 days of storage, penalty analysis revealed that beverage with sucrose showed a lack of sweet taste and excess of sour taste. Thus, a high-quality açaí product with viable probiotic microorganism, high anthocyanins, and polyphenolic compounds contents could be obtained, which can be exploited for commercial use. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Synbiotic açaí juice is a healthier alternative to consuming products containing this fruit. The inclusion of probiotic microorganisms and prebiotic fructooligosaccharides increased bioactive compounds contents during the shelf life of the juice. The sensory evaluation using the internal preference mapping revealed that the juice flavor with sucralose was better accepted than the juice formulated with addition of sucrose.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to evaluate the conditions of fermentation pH and temperature and also the fermentation time of Lactobacillus casei in the cupuassu (tropical fruit native to the Brazilian Amazon) beverage. The sugars, organic acids, and antioxidant activity during the fermentation also were investigated. The sensory characteristics were also evaluated. Moreover, the effect of expectation on the acceptability of probiotic and symbiotic cupuassu beverages was rated under three conditions. The blind (consumers were informed that the samples were probiotic and symbiotic beverages and they tasted them); expected (only nutritional claims in short text were informed) and informed (consumers were asked to evaluate the product when they had nutritional information). The conditions for probiotic beverage production were initial pH5.8, the temperature of 30°C, and 18h of fermentation. L. casei had viability higher than 9.34LogCFU/mL with 18h of fermentation. The fructose was the most consumed sugar (84.76%), followed by sucrose (62.10%) and glucose (34.52%). The antioxidant activity increased during the fermentation. The organic acids present in the cupuassu (citric, ascorbic and quinic acids) also supported L. casei growth, being consumed during the fermentation improving the nutritional value of the beverage. The acceptance of the probiotic drink increased when the juice was presented to the informed tasters. Therefore, the nutrition claims were effective in increasing the acceptance. The probiotic cupuassu beverage was well accepted as an alternative functional food.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis of the knee (kOA) is a disease that mainly affects the elderly and can
lead to major physical and functional limitations. However, the specific effects of
walking, particularly on the immune system, are unknown. Therefore, this study aimed
to analyze the effect of 12 weeks of walking (3×/week) on the leukocyte profile and
quality of life (QL) of elderly women with kOA. Sixteen women (age: 67±4 years, body
mass index: 28.07±4.16 kg/m2) participated in a walking program. The
variables were assessed before and after 12 weeks of training with a progressively
longer duration (30–55 min) and higher intensity (72–82% of HRmax determined using a
graded incremental treadmill test). The QL was assessed using the Medical Outcomes
Study 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), and blood samples were collected for
analysis with a cell counter and the San Fac flow cytometer. Walking training
resulted in a 47% enhancement of the self-reported QL (P<0.05) and a 21% increase
in the VO2max (P<0.0001) in elderly women with kOA. Furthermore, there
was a reduction in CD4+ cells (pre=46.59±7%, post=44.58±9%, P=0.0189) and a higher
fluorescence intensity for CD18+CD4+ (pre=45.30±10, post=64.27±33, P=0.0256) and
CD18+CD8+ (pre=64.2±27, post=85.02±35, P=0.0130). In
conclusion, the walking program stimulated leukocyte production, which may be related
to the immunomodulatory effect of exercise. Walking also led to improvements in the
QL and physical performance in elderly women with kOA.

Abstract
An increased circulating level of inflammatory cytokines has been associated with sarcopenia, functional disability, chronic diseases, and mortality in the elderly. Osteoarthritis (OA) is a disease common to this population, the seriousness of articular degeneration has been associated to the increase in some cytokines, IL-6 among them. The aim of the present study was to correlate IL-6 plasma levels with muscle strength, endurance, muscle balance hamstring/quadriceps (H/Q) and physical function in 80 elderly women (71.2 ± 5.3) with knee OA. IL-6 was measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Quadriceps and hamstring muscle strength, endurance and hamstring-quadriceps muscle balance were assessed using a Biodex system 3 pro(®) isokinetic dynamometer. Physical function was assessed using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC). Spearman's correlation coefficient was used to explore the relationship between the outcomes at the significance level of α=0.05. IL-6 was inversely correlated to the endurance of the hamstring muscles (r=-0.232; p=0.03) and muscle balance (H/Q) on the lower right side at 180°/s (r=-0.254; p=0.023). No significant correlation between IL-6, muscle strength and physical function was found. Our results show that elevated levels of IL-6 may possibly contribute to the reduction of the endurance of hamstring muscles and H/Q muscle balance in the elderly studied.
