Science is driven by knowledge, critical thinking, and innovation. Connecting the scientific knowledge gained through research to the foundation of elementary and high school education is essential to spark students' interest in science and academic pursuits. However, many students lack access to adequate resources, such as well-equipped laboratories. The partnership between universities …
Colorants have been used for centuries to enhance or restore the original appearance of different products and ensure their uniformity. The global market of colorants includes artificial and natural molecules; however, due to the consumer concerns regarding their health, the market for natural products have been raising in several industrial segments, especially, increasing the studies fo…
Consumers are increasingly concerned about their health and the composition of their food and personal care products. For this reason, the pharmaceutical and food industries have replaced synthetic colorants with natural ones, which, in addition to pleasing the public, can confer advantages to materials and foods, attributing them antioxidant and antimicrobial action. In this context, thi…

Conventional methods for obtaining electroconductive hydrogels by the incorporation of nanomaterials and conducting polymers present great technical limitations. These are mainly associated with cytotoxicity as well as low solubility, processability and biodegradability. In this project, we propose a strategy for obtaining hydrogels by the functionalization of non-conductive polymers with…
Getting older is the biggest risk factor for most fatal diseases, including cancer, heart disease and Alzheimer's. The advances in nanomedicine comprise the development of nanoparticles either for drug delivering or as platforms for biomolecules purification. Simultaneously, continuous progresses have been made for the development of recombinant therapeutic enzymes, namely L-asparaginase …
The main challenge which limits the wider uptake of biobased chemicals, produced by biological transfonmation via microbial fermentation, as altematives to those derived from petroleum is the cost of production. The majority of the direct costs of such bioprocesses are accounted for by the substrate used. This presents an opportunity for the development of biorefineries engineered to take…

Color is a crucial factor in consumer product choices, including food, which often contains colorants to enhance its appearance and acceptability. While many colorants used in the food industry are synthetic, there are growing concerns about their adverse health effects. This has led to the search for natural alternatives, which also offer benefits to the pharmaceutical industry. Natural …

Colorants are essential for today's society and thus are used in various industries. These compounds can be classified as synthetic or natural, being synthetic ones the most used and those that attract concern due to their potential to cause adverse effects on human and environmental health. As a result, the search for dyes of natural origin to replace synthetic ones has grown in recent y…

L-asparaginase (EC.3.5.1.1, L-asparagine amidohydrolase, L-ASNase) is an enzyme capable to hydrolyze asparagine, which makes it an important biopharmaceutical in the therapy of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), since the breakdown of this amino acid in the extracellular environment leads to the death of cancer cells that are unable to synthesize it. Even though there are several microor…

L-asparaginase (L-ASNase) is an enzyme capable of catalyzing the hydrolysis of asparagine, making it an important biopharmaceutical for the pharmaceutical industry, especially in the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. However, new production sources for this enzyme are required due to the development of hypersensitivity to current formulations, making it necessary to develop new b…
The natural blue colorant indigoidine has antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, and is synthesized from the amino acid L-glutamine during the metabolism of certain wild-type or genetically modified bacterias. The microbial origin of indigoidine makes it a promising alternative to indigo, a synthetic colorant widely used in modern industries, since there are a number of studies aimed a…
Color is one of the main sensory attributes for consumers, directly affecting their perceptions of products. The color additive market is mainly composed of colorants of synthetic origin, however, the population's awareness of the need for sustainability, has been boosting the consumption of natural additives. Carotenoids and Azaphilone polyketides are natural colorants, with a wide varie…
The impact of product color on consumer acceptance is a well-established phenomenon, particularly within the textile sector. Presently, the majority of companies in this industry employ synthetic colorants in their consumer goods. However, concerns have arisen regarding the reported health issues and environmental contamination associated with the use of these synthetic colorants. To addr…
