Antonio J. A. Meirelles holds a degree in Food Engineering from the State University of Campinas (Unicamp, 1980), a master's degree in Food Engineering from Unicamp (1984), a PhD in Thermal Process Engineering - Technische Hochschule Merseburg (currently part of Martin Luther University, Germany, 1987) and a PhD in Economics from Unicamp (1997). He has been a professor at Unicamp since 1987, an associate professor since 1995 and a full professor since 2007. He has experience in Food Science and Technology and in the production of biofuels and bioproducts, working mainly on the following topics: vapor-liquid, liquid-liquid and solid-liquid phase equilibrium of fatty systems and aqueous solutions, distillation, liquid-liquid extraction, adsorption, refining of vegetable oils, purification of biomolecules, production of hydrous and anhydrous bioethanol, and biodiesel. His activities in economics have focused on monetary theory and the development of Keynesian-inspired macroeconomic models. He was the coordinator of the graduate courses of the School of Food Engineering (FEA/Unicamp) from October 2011 to October 2014, director of FEA/Unicamp from October 2014 to October 2018, and rector of Unicamp from April 2021 to April 2025. He is a member of the Board of Trustees of FAPESP. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

The multiuser infrared spectroscopy equipment FTIR is linked to the FAPESP Thematic Project - Process 2014 / 21252-0, under responsibility of Prof. Dr. Antonio José de Almeida Meirelles. In the scope of the FAPESP Thematic Project, the FTIR equipment will be used: i) for characterization analysis of ionic liquids (ILs) in order to determine the effectiveness of the synthesis and also to c…
The present project aims to define the application of the resources made available by FAPESP, in the form of the Technical Reserve associated with the research projects submitted by members of the Faculty of Food Engineering / UNICAMP (FEA/UNICAMP) and approved in 2016. The present application proposes to use the resources in the expansion and improvement of FEA´s research infrastructure,…
The ion chromatography multi-user equipment approved in FAPESP grant 2014/21252-0 will be used to analyze of the organic anions associated to the biodiesel and vegetable oil oxidation. The anion concentrations will be determined in lipid samples stored for a long period and under different storage conditions. Some samples will be submitted to the induced oxidation by Rancimat, using high …
This proposal intends to face technological challenges put forth by a new conception of integrated biorefinery, taking advantage of synergies between the production processes of the two most important biofuels in the Brazilian context: 1st and 2nd generation bioethanol from sugarcane, and biodiesel from vegetable oils and of microbial origin. With this purpose, researchers with large expe…

The industrialization of vegetable oils obtained from oleaginous grains or fruits plays an important role in the Brazilian economy, both in the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical sectors, and in the growing use by the country's energy sector, based on the launch of the National Program for the Production and Use of Biodiesel (PNPB), which in Law nº 11.097, of January 13, 2005, makes mandat…
Among the Sustainable Development Goals of the SDGs of the 2030 Agenda adopted by ONU is: "Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns", including the sustainable management of chemicals, reduction of waste released to the environment and reduction of food waste. Considering that agriculture is responsible for approximately 25% of greenhouse gas emissions in the world, it is es…
In the last decade, conscious food consumption has revolutionized the food industry. Thus, healthy products from natural sources have gained market over traditional products and represent the trend of the food and beverage market in Brazil and worldwide. One of the major challenges facing the food industry nowadays is providing additives and offering products that fit the concepts of natu…

In the last decade, the food industry has faced a tremendous revolution driven by the conscious food consumption motivated by the concepts of well-being, naturalness, safety, functionality and sustainability. One of the major challenges that food industry is facing nowadays is providing additives and offering products that fit such concepts. These needs are still evident due to the lack o…
Ionic liquids (ILs) based on fatty acids (FAs) have been considered as promising compounds, and attracted the interest of the industry and academic community because of their peculiar properties and low cost. The interesting characteristics of the ILs and their sustainable appeal, and possibly low or non-toxicity due to the natural origin of their precursors open new perspectives of appli…
