Neste trabalho foram avaliadas a viabilidade e a conservação apropriada de 481 bactérias epifíticas e endofíticas associadas à plantas de soja [(Glycine max (L.) Merrill]. Essas bactérias haviam sido isoladas previamente de folhas, caules e raízes das cultivares Foscarin e Cristalina em ...

The global transition to a low-carbon economy requires scalable and inclusive solutions rooted in tropical biodiversity. In this context, macaúba palm (Acrocomia aculeata), a native palm species widely distributed across America, stands out as a promising biomass crop for renewable bioenergy ...

Atualmente, a busca por uma alimentação mais balanceada e saudável vem se intensificando, impulsionando o interesse dos consumidores por alimentos que tragam benefícios à saúde. Neste âmbito, destacam-se os lipídios estruturados, como os triacilgliceróis dietéticos, uma vez que oferecem diversas ...

Açaí, símbolo da biodiversidade amazônica, possui um mercado amplamente focado na polpa, enquanto a biomassa residual - especialmente o caroço fibroso - segue subutilizada, gerando grandes impactos ambientais e sociais. Este estudo apresenta um roadmap tecnológico prospectivo, transformando dados disp...

Macauba is an underexplored palm with significant potential for food-grade vegetable oil production. Its fruits yield two distinct sources of oil, the pulp and the kernel, each with its unique composition, emerging as a potential vegetable oil source with high competitiveness with well-...

Aqueous extraction processing (AEP) and aqueous enzymatic extraction (AEE) were optimized and scaled up for macauba pulp oil recovery. Initially, the process parameters were evaluated on a laboratory scale. Optimal conditions, enzyme concentration (pectinase, AEP: 0%, AEE: 1% v/v), extraction...

Abstract:The decision of various countries to build permanent human bases on the Moon, Mars, or other celestial bodies has sparked growing interest in understanding how plants develop in extraterrestrial environments, particularly because of microgravity and cosmic radiation. This study aimed to&...

The rapid expansion of Brazilian agriculture, although centered on productivity gains, has brought challenges to the forefront, influencing food systems at national, regional, and global scales. Looming threats such as climate change, deforestation, and land degradation cast shadows of uncertainty...

With increasing energy demand and agro-industrial waste generation, sustainable solutions for biomass valorization become essential. This study investigates the thermochemical conversion of oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB) in a pilot-scale fluidized bed gasifier using air, steam, and nitrogen as&#...
