Highlighted Article: Adequacy of Quality Assurance Programs for a Corn Meal Production Unit
Adequacy of Quality Assurance Programs for a Corn Meal Production Unit

Abstract:
To ensure the quality, the processing of artisanal corn meal in a production unit located in the southeastern state of São Paulo was evaluated. It handles an average of 15 tons/months, all under GMP and HACCP regulations. Of the 153 items examined on a checklist, only 42 were in compliance. In addition, the following Control Points (CPs) were identified: humidification of hominy and corn. The Critical Control Points (CCPs) were: the water, the oven, the screen that covered the humidification tank and final product. Some steps were not GMP-compliant, so corrective measures based on the CP and CCPs were suggested. One important factor was the need to comply with the specific legislation about folic acid and iron supplementation in the product. Another was the technique used to add them to the product.

Abstract:
The genus Rheum is a member of the family
Polygonaceae. Rheum species, generally known as Rhubarb growing in high
altitude, are important medicinal herbs containing secondary metabolites and
grow in India, China, Korea, and Japan. Several chemical constituents from
Rheum species are pharmacologically important. Besides being used as herbal
medicine and also used in the vegetables and for making natural dyes. More than
250 constituents including anthraquinones (emodin, chrysophanol, physcion,
aloe-emodin, and emodin glycosides), anthrones, flavonoids, acylglucosides,
pyrones stilbene etc. are the major bioactives of rhubarb that exhibit several
biological activities are used folk medicine for the treatment of fever,
dysentery, blood coagulation, laxative, anticancer and also used in various
skin diseases. This article is an attempt to highlight several of chemical
constituents isolated from these species and their medicinal properties.
Keywords:
Rhubarb, anthraquinones, chemical
constituents, biological activities, polygonaceae, emodin.
