1. Extraction and Characterization of Pequi Seed Oil for Biodiesel Production: A Green Management of Waste to Biofuel Using Ethanol and Heterogeneous Catalysis
This work reports the characterization of a vegetable oil extracted from pequi seeds, an agroindustrial residue, and its biodiesel production using ethanol and heterogeneous catalysis. The pequi seeds showed 40.73 wt.% of extractive content, which represents a large amount of the biomass composition. The crude oil extracted from the pequi seeds with ethanol

2. SIMULTANEOUS LIPID AND CAROTENOID PRODUCTION BY STEPWISE FED-BATCH CULTIVATION OF Rhodotorula mucilaginosa WITH CRUDE GLYCEROL
Abstract In the present study, an innovative cultivation strategy of Rhodotorula mucilaginosa CCT 7688 to accumulate both lipids and high added value carotenoids was proposed, with the potential to contribute to the economic feasibility of microbial oils in comparison with vegetable oils. The stepwise fed-batch cultivation with crude glycerol feeding at 24 h

4. BIODEGRADATION OF ACACIA AND CHESTNUT TANNINS BY NATIVE ISOLATES OF THE GENUS Penicillium AND Aspergillus
Abstract In the present work, the potential of native isolates of fungi strains to biodegrade vegetable tannins used in the tanning industry was evaluated. Penicillium citrinum showed to be more efficient for consumption of acacia tannin, reaching 94.85%. Aspergillus chevalieri needs a greater adaptation phase (48 h) in both acacia and chestnut medium, evide

5. Production and Characterization of the Bio-Oil Obtained by the Fast Pyrolysis of Spent Coffee Grounds of the Soluble Coffee Industry
Agro-industrial wastes are abundant and low-cost sources of energy and chemicals. Biomass account for 14% of the world’s energy production. Industrial residues of production of soluble coffee (spent coffee grounds - SCG) have great potential due to its large-scale production and can be transformed by pyrolysis, in liquid, solid and gaseous products with ap

7. Management of blight of bell pepper (Capsicum annuum var. grossum) caused by Drechslera bicolor
Abstract Sweet or bell pepper is a member of the Solanaceae family and is regarded as one of the most popular and nutritious vegetable. Blight, in the form of leaf and fruit blight, has been observed to infect bell pepper crops cultivated at the horticulture farm in Rajasthan College of Agriculture, Udaipur, India. Based on disease severity, we attempted to

9. Soil respiration in cucumber field under crop rotation in solar greenhouse
Crop residues are the primary source of carbon input in the soil carbon pool. Crop rotation can impact the plant biomass returned to the soil, and influence soil respiration. To study the effect of previous crops on soil respiration in cucumber (Cucumis statirus L.) fields in solar greenhouses, soil respiration, plant height, leaf area and yield were measure

10. Química e sustentabilidade: novas fronteiras em biocombustíveis
This contribution discusses the state of the art and the challenges in producing biofuels, as well as the need to develop chemical conversion processes of CO2 in Brazil. Biofuels are sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels for providing energy, whilst minimizing the effects of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. Ethanol from fermentation of simple sugars and

11. Química Sem Fronteiras: o desafio da energia
Coal, natural gas and petroleum-based liquid fuels are still the most widely used energy sources in modern society. The current scenario contrasts with the foreseen shortage of petroleum that was spread out in the beginning of the XXI century, when the concept of "energy security" emerged as an urgent agenda to ensure a good balance between energy supply and
