Bio-based carbon nanomaterials have attracted increasing interest as sustainable alternatives to conventional dyes and pigments due to their tunable optical properties and multifunctionality. In this work, carbon-based nanopigments were synthesized from agro-industrial residues of açaí palm (Euterpe oleracea)&#...
Brewery spent grain (BSG) is a promising substrate for anaerobic digestion (AD). However, its lignocellulosic structure limits biodegradability. Steam explosion (SE) pretreatment enhances solubilization but may also generate inhibitory compounds, including free ammonia nitrogen (FAN), volatile fatty acids ...
The sandwich amperometric immunosensor based on pequi- derived carbon dots (CDs) for labeling second antibody represents a promising approach for a rapid and quantitative detection of Salmonella sp. in liquid (water used for washing chicken- CWW) and solid (cheese- CC1) samples. The ori...
The use of brackish water can cause severe effects and irreversible damage to the growth and physiological indices of agricultural crops. Thus, the agricultural environment emerges as an alternative to mitigate saline stress in tomato hybrids (Solanum lycopersicum L.). This study evaluated&#...
Purpose: The essential oil of Hyptis crenata (EOHc) contains several terpenes, many of which have anxiolytic-like activity. Thus, the aim of this study was to extract, analyze the chemical composition, and evaluate the anxiolytic-like effect of EOHc in mice using experimental approaches ...
Background: Growing consumer demand for healthier food products has intensified the search for natural addi-tives. Due to its functional properties, flaxseed mucilage has significant commercial potential whenit comes to enhancing desirable characteristics in food formulations. Aim: This study evaluated t...
This study evaluates the flow and filtration performance of different membrane types for clarifying coconut water. Although crossflow microfiltration is well established for fruit juices, its application to whole coconut water and the influence of membrane material on flow, fouling behavior, ...
This study aimed to develop cassava thermoplastic starch (TPS) biopolymers and polymer bionanocomposites with varying concentrations of montmorillonite (MMT) nanoclay and coconut oil (CO) by extrusion. X-ray diffraction indicated intercalated and partially exfoliated structure of nanoclay lamellae in the&#...
O desenvolvimento de tecnologias emergentes no setor agroalimentar exige ferramentas de avaliação que transcendam análises isoladas e determinísticas. Embora a literatura reporte abordagens combinadas de viabilidade econômica e impactos ambientais, persiste uma lacuna quanto à integração simultânea e harmo...
As podridões pós-colheita constituem fator de risco nas exportações. No entanto, o número de produtos registrados para o tratamento pós-colheita de frutos de melão (Cucumis melo) é reduzido. Objetivou-se neste trabalho avaliar a influência dos fungicidas thiabendazole, azoxystrobin e imazalil a&#...
