Position: Estabelecimento do perfil volátil de cidras regionais como suporte para avaliação da sua autenticidade e tipicidade

Reference: CQM-19-SUM-INT-02

Position Type: Internship

Place of Work: CQM (Centro de Química da Madeira)

Host Institution: CQM (Centro de Química da Madeira)

Scientific Areas: Analytical Chemistry.

Supervisor(s): José de Sousa Câmara , Rosa Perestrelo Gouveia .

O objetivo deste projeto é estabelecer o perfil volatómico de cidras regionais por recurso à HS-SPME/GC-MS como plataforma essencial para a identificação de biomarcadores moleculares característicos de modo a definir a sua autenticidade e genuinidade, como valioso contributo para a sua certificação e combate à adulteração. O estudo contribuirá para a valorização comercial da cidra fornecendo ferramentas necessárias para uma maior rastreabilidade na origem e aumento da qualidade do produto. Serão optimizado os parâmetros analíticos da metodologia a usar, HS-SPME (extração) e GC-MS (separação, quantificação e identificação), de modo a maximizar a eficiência do processo extrativo e a performance cromatográfica. A metodologia optimizada será aplicada a amostras de cidra provenientes de diferentes regiões da RAM, reconhecidas pela qualidade da Cidra que produzem, nomeadamente Santo da Serra e Prazeres. Por fim, o perfil volatómico estabelecido será usado como ferramenta para a diferenciação das Cidras em estudo. Esta última etapa será realizada com recurso a análise multivariada.

These training courses are free for the students of 1^st Cycle of Biochemistry and 2^nd Cycles of Applied Biochemistry or Nanochemistry and Nanomaterials of the University of Madeira.

For students of Biochemistry, Chemistry or similar areas from other universities the registration costs 50€. Selected candidates must have an insurance for individual accidents in order to use the laboratory areas of CQM.

The trainees will receive a participation certificate which will include the total worked hours.

NOTE: These internships do not replace any curricular equivalency / frequency of their courses.
