More sustainable processes using agro-industrial waste to generate value-added products are key pillars for the coming years, as they enhance raw material utilization and reduce costs in the production of important market products. The citrus industry holds global significance, and its processes generate waste that can serve as a source for new products with industrial potential. In this …
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 optimization of microbial colorant production will be conducted in a stirred-tank bioreactor. In alignment with the principles of circular economy and sustainable development, alternative and low-cost carbon sources will be investigated, such as sugarcane bagasse hydrolysate, soybean molasses, oat flour, and rice flour. Structurally, the project will be divided into four complementary…
The colorant industry is of great commercial importance, directly influencing consumer acceptance of different products. Natural colorants have beneficial properties compared to synthetic ones, in addition to the issue of pollution and health damage already reported for some petroleum derivatives. Microbial colorants, in particular, offer production advantages, mainly due to seasonality a…
Science is driven by knowledge, critical thinking, and innovation. Bridging the gap between scientific knowledge generated through research and the foundational education provided in elementary and high schools is essential to spark students' interest in science and academic pursuits. However, many students lack access to proper resources, such as well-equipped laboratories. Partnerships …

Until the mid-nineteenth century, all dyes were derived from plants, but with the discovery of synthetic dyes by William Henry Perkin, civilization began to replace natural dyes with synthetic ones. As the industry modernized, there was an increase in the use of artificial colorants for food, pharmaceutical and textile purposes. However, the use of synthetic colorants can be harmful both …

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…
