1. Agroindustry Residues as a Source for Cellulose Nanofibers Production

Our study was motivated by the large amount of crop residues produced in Brazil, which represent underutilized waste biomass and a serious threat to the environment because of the landfilling. For example, even though the corn crop is not popular in Brazil, it is produced in the area of around 18-20 million hectares with an average production of 5-6 t ha-1.

2. Topdressing nitrogen fertilization associated with trinexapac-ethyl on industrial quality of oat grains

ABSTRACT Nitrogen fertilization, besides increasing productivity, can favor the production of well-formed, large, and heavy grains, which are traits valued by the oat processing industry. However, high nitrogen (N) doses may lead to plant lodging, which could be solved by using growth retardant. This study aimed to evaluate the industrial quality of white oa

4. Straw management effects on sugarcane growth, nutrient cycling and water use in the Brazilian semiarid region

ABSTRACT It was evaluated how straw management modifies the development, growth, nutrient cycling and crop water productivity of sugarcane in the semiarid region of Brazil. The experiment was carried out using two plots with 5 ha each, being one without straw on the soil surface and one with 26 Mg·ha-1 covering the soil. Sugarcane growth and development and

5. Growth, yield, and oil content of Brassica species under Brazilian tropical conditions

ABSTRACT Brassica oilseed species are becoming increasingly popular for industrial uses, with emphasis on biodiesel. It is of importance to evaluate the yield and oil production potential of nontraditional oilseeds for use as feedstock in Brazil. In this study, growth, yield, and oil content and their correlations were determined for eight accessions of B. j

6. MAXIMIZATION OF ESSENTIAL OIL ANTIOXIDANT CAPACITY VIA STAR ANISE HYDRODISTILLATION

Abstract Chinese star anise essential oil (EO) is prized for its pleasant aroma and mainly due to its antioxidant capacity (AC), which can combat cancer and treat neurodegenerative diseases. This study shows the innovative approach of optimizing not only EO yield, but also to therapeutic activity. The product obtained follows the principle of the Pure Food a

8. LIPASE - CATALYZED FORMATION OF PENTYL NONANOATE USING SCREENED IMMOBILIZED LIPASE FROM Rhizomucor meihei

Abstract Bio-catalysis has attracted the special attention of industrial flavour producers in the production of valuable ester compounds. In this study, the synthesis of pentyl nonanoate ester (a short chain ester with fruity aroma) was carried out with a commercial immobilized lipase from Rhizomucor meihei Lipozyme (RMIM) as biocatalyst in the esterificatio

10. Austenitic Grain Size Prediction in Hot Forging of a 20MnCr5 Steel by Numerical Simulation Using the JMAK Model for Industrial Applications

Yield strength and toughness in steels are directly associated with hot forging processes, especially by controlling austenitic grain size and cooling conditions. The phenomenological JMAK model in macroscale has been applied in different material classes to predict grain size after hot forming. However, on an industrial application, there is still a lack of

Abstract: The growing need for the use of clean energy has led society to seek alternatives to fossil fuels in order to less pollute the environment. Sugarcane has been known to produce enough biomass and to have associative microorganisms, such as plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB), which have the potential to improve the yield of crops. The objective
