Abstract: The objective of this review was to analyze the diversification of oil-bearing biomass sources as a strategic pathway to support decarbonization and sustainability, with emphasis on bioenergy in Brazil. The review identifies opportunities, challenges, and conditions to expand the use&#x...
Para uma população mundial em crescimento e com previsão de 9 bilhões de pessoas até 2050, a disponibilidade de alimentos a todos é um dos grandes desafios da (Food and Agriculture Organization), sendo o alvo do Objetivo do Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS 2), “Fome zero e...
Tailoring culture media and supplementation strategies to the specific requirements of a target product is essential for enhancing microbial production efficiency. This work addresses an unexplored aspect of K. phaffii cultivation: optimizing culture media for metabolite production from xylose, diverg...
Xylonic acid is an oxidized derivative of xylose that is used by the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries. It can be produced either microbially or chemically. Biological production is advantageous because of its safety, eco-friendliness, and mild process conditions. This study used...
This study explores cryogels derived from cotton cellulose and potato starch as templates for soybean oleogel production. Cryogels were prepared using a freeze-drying method with cellulose and starch in various mass ratios (pure cellulose, pure starch, 20 cellulose/80 starch, 20 starch/...
In this work, a variant of a β-glucosidase from the GH1 family, isolated from the microbial community of Amazonian soil (Brazil), with enhanced catalytic activity and improved for glucose retroinhibition, was developed. This new variant may become a promising alternative to reduce the&#...

This study compares the chemical modification and polymerization behavior of canola, carinata, and crambe oils to evaluate their suitability as renewable building blocks for polymer synthesis. The vegetable oils were characterized in terms of fatty-acid composition and oxidative stability, and th...
Os objetivos deste trabalho foram: investigar a capacidade de 180 bactérias em utilizar glicerina residual de biodiesel para produzir ácido lático, um importante monômero para indústria de polímeros; avaliar a capacidade dessas bactérias de solubilizar ou mineralizar fontes de fósforo, visando&#x...
The objectives of the present study are to evaluate the current agroindustrial system - AIS, in a representative region of the Northeastern Brazil, and propose strategic actions to improve the AIS at macauba value chain. The framework used to analyze the AIS includes data gath...
