Abstract

The Gas Chromatography - Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) system was granted by FAPESP through the Thematic Project 2016/10636-8 (From the cell factory to the biodiesel-bioethanol integrated biorefinery: a systems approach applied to complex problems in micro and macroscales), and will be part of the park of equipment of the Department of Chemical Engineering of the Federal University of Sao Carlos (DEQ/UFSCar), installed in the Laboratory for Special Analysis (LAE) of the Center for Catalytic and Biotechnological Processes (CPCB) of DEQ/UFSCar. The GC/MS system can be used to characterize samples of amino acids, organic acids, fat acids esters, flavors, vitamins, surfactants, alcohols, among other thermally stable molecules. (AU)
