Postharvest deterioration caused by ethylene (C2H4) is a major challenge for global food security, leading to significant losses of perishable products like bananas. In this study, we present the synthesis and optimization of a multicomponent photocatalyst based on montmorillonite (MMT), titanium...

Green coffee oil (GCO) is a high-value product widely used in the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries, being susceptible to adulteration with low-cost vegetable oils. This study aimed to develop rapid and non- destructive methods based on time-domain nuclear magnetic resonance (TD-...
The coffee industry generates large amounts of by-products whose improper disposal may create environmental burdens, while their lignocellulosic matrix and bioactive compounds make them attractive feedstocks for sustainable materials. In this study, coffee husk, parchment, and silverskin were comparatively...

The Amazon rainforest is the largest tropical rainforest in the world. Amazonian Podzol soils, characteristic of this region, are known to store substantial amounts of organic carbon in both their surface and deep horizons. Despite decades of research, the molecular-level composition of ...
The growing impacts of climate change, combined with the environmental burden of global pollutants such as agricultural pesticides, have intensified the demand for sustainable and innovative technologies for their monitoring and mitigation. In this study, we introduce a low-cost, easy-to-fabricate,&#x...
Este estudo investigou a produção de nanopartículas de hidroxiapatita a partir de escamas de peixe calcinadas em diferentes temperaturas (400, 600, 800 e 1000 °C), com o objetivo de avaliar o efeito da temperatura de calcinação na cristalinidade e sua influência na liberação de...
The increasing atmospheric concentration of CO2 is a major contributor to global climate change, underscoring the urgent need for effective strategies to convert CO2 into value added products. In this sense, a composite was successfully synthesized by combining clinoptilolite zeolite (CZ) wi...
Abstract Background: Obesity in cats is a complex metabolic condition, and understanding its metabolic processes is e ssential for gaining new insights into nutrition. Hypothesis/Objectives: Investigate the effects of enzymatically-hydrolyzed poultry byproduct meal (EHPM-c) on the serum metabolomic p&...
