Consumer demands for the purchase of processed foods have become increasingly greater, specially whrn it comes to the use of food additives, with a growing trend towards the search for clean label and/or 100% natural foods. In this context, the demand for alternatives to synthetic dyes has become urgent. In order to achieve this objective, different strategies are devised aiming at the ap…
The application of ionic liquids (IL) in extraction processes is a viable alternative, which follows the principles of green chemistry, minimizing contamination and optimizing the achievement of these natural compounds. Thus, the aim of this study will be establish a new method of extraction using IL for achievement of carotenoids from orange peel and pupunha pulp (Bactrys gasipaes), whic…

This project aims to explore the impact of food labeling regulations and marketing strategies targeting children, focusing on recently implemented public policies in Brazil. In light of growing concerns about childhood obesity and unhealthy eating habits, front-of-package labeling (FOPL) has emerged as an essential tool to help consumers make healthier food choices. The study intends to a…
Globally, the food challenges for the coming decades are quite complex and go beyond the strict concept of healthy diets. The adoption of eating habits to promote good health and quality of life, coupled with sustainability for the planet, will guide public policies worldwide. In this perspective, the search for alternatives to synthetic food constituents has become imminent and places na…
The offer of "plant-based" foods is the biggest novelty on the market at a national and international level with the aim of serving the growing vegetarian, vegan and flexitarian public. Thus, currently, it is possible to find "vegetables" hamburgers, breaded products, meatballs, sausages, meats, fish and chicken with an appearance, texture and flavor that resemble products made with anima…
Consumer requirements for purchasing processed food have increased considerably, especially speaking about food additives, searching for "clean label" and/or 100% natural food has been a trend. In this context, finding alternatives to synthetic dyes has become urgent. In order to achieve this objective, different strategies are set as goals aiming the application of natural dyes in indust…
"Green Chemistry" is based on the development of processes that eliminate or reduce the use of toxic substances and their release into the environment. Conventional organic solvents (SOC) are present in several steps in the chemical industry processes. Although they are commonly used for the extraction of organic compounds, such solvents generate environmental and social damages due to th…

Carotenoids are interesting functional ingredients as color is a crucial sensory attribute that consumers analyze to determine product quality, appearance, and acceptability. Pequi carotenoids, a lipophilic pigment responsible for the characteristic fluorescent yellow color, were incorporated into the delivery system called bigel. Bigels were developed based on agar-xanthan gum hydrogel, …
In recent decades, microalgae have stood out as one of the most promising renewable biomass sources for obtaining emerging bioactive compounds, among which the phytochemicals chlorophylls are highlighted. In addition to their application as pigments, these compounds have attracted interest in the food industry, mainly in developing products with functional and nutraceutical properties to …
In the global scenario, due to the growth of renewable production demands that can mitigate the impacts on the environment and health, green chemistry flourishes as one of the novelties of modern science. Among the protagonists of this science, ionic liquids (IL) and surfactants stand out as being highly efficient solvents in the extraction of bioactive compounds. Therefore, the applicati…
Orange is one of the most worldwide produced and consumed fruit, and Brazil is responsible for about 50% of the world production of orange juice. The high production of orange juice implies in large amounts of residues, being the peel, the principal by-product generated and underutilized. However, citrus fruits, particularly orange, are commonly regarded as the most complex natural source…
