Five requeijão samples, classified as Brazilian cream cheeses, were developed: one control (without guabiroba pulp (Campomanesia xanthocarpa O. Berg) and four with 5, 10, 15, and 20% (m/m) guabiroba pulp. They were evaluated for pH, water activity (aw), color, texture, multi-mineral com...

The peach palm (Bactris gasipaes Kunth) is a palm tree native to the Amazon region, with plantations expanding to the Brazilian Southwest and South regions. This work is a critical review of historical, botanical, social, environmental, and nutritional aspects of edible and nonedible&#x...

Goat milk has lower allergenicity and high commercial value but faces storage limitations, often leading to waste. Converting it into powder increases costs, making blending with non-dairy ingredients, such as rice flour, a viable alternative to reduce costs and potentially improve nutrition...

We present an inventory based on 17 months of sampling at a strategic site within the Upper Paraná Atlantic Forest ecoregion, the largest among the regions of the Atlantic Forest. Including areas of 30-year-old forest restoration, our study qualitatively and quantitatively assesses the&...

Accurate environmental monitoring of aquatic ecosystems is often compromised by field-measurement biases introduced through human presence. Autonomous robotic platforms can mitigate these biases by enabling consistent, long-term data collection under a wide range of environmental conditions. We present the...

Resin tapping is an activity designed to extract resin from trees, especially species of the genus Pinus. Current systems of tapping and collecting resin are well known, but further study is needed to make these systems more efficient and profitable for producers. Therefore, this&#...

Considerado o maior bioma de floresta tropical do mundo, a Amazônia contém cerca de 50% da biodiversidade do planeta. Entretanto, este bioma vem sendo ameaçado por vários fatores, dentre os quais o principal é o desmatamento causado por um conjunto de atividades antrópicas. Diante&...

O reconhecimento da existência de estruturação espacial nas populações naturais auxilia no estabelecimento de medidas de conservação genética, indicando formas de maximizar a diversidade genética na coleta de sementes. Desta maneira, este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o padrão de distribuiç...

No manejo florestal, a etapa de extração seletiva de madeira exige atenção para que os danos à floresta remanescente sejam minimizados. Conhecer a magnitude desses danos é crucial para direcionar práticas de manejo e garantir a sustentabilidade do manejo. Neste trabalho, buscou-se carac...
