The technological use of lignocellulolitic agroindustrial waste has been much interest worldwide due to be a new renewable source for the production of food, chemicals and biofuels. On the national scene there is a great quantity of waste available, among which stand out the sugarcane bagasse, cassava bagasse, wheat bran and citrus pulp, from agricultural activities. These raw materials c…
The search for more efficient methods in the production of ethanol fuel has been a constant concern for researchers in Brazil, given that the country occupies the position of the second largest producer of this biofuel in the world (VIDAL, M. F., 2022). However, one of the pressing challenges faced during this process is contamination by microorganisms, particularly lactic acid bacteria, …
Bacteria have a large amount of benefits for people all around the world, from food and medicine production to helping the intestinal tract and developing plants. Therefore, the research advance on culture media for bacteria is crucial to enhance the benefits brought by these beings. Nitrogen-fixing bacteria, also known as diazotrophs, bring several benefits to vegetal growth, in particul…
A search for a better perspective on life and well-being has been growing due to the main problem of the XXI century, depression and anxiety. However, to achieve this, a set of habits is necessary, and one of the most important is good nutrition. Currently, there is high demand for probiotics and prebiotics, being that the frist former involves beneficial bacteria for the intestinal tract…
The use of probiotics has been growing, mainly with the increase in the consumption of fermented milk and its effects on the improvement of intestinal problems. However, a new category of "biotics" has recently been discovered, the post-biotic, which are the metabolites obtained from the cultivation of probiotic lactic acid bacteria and subsequent centrifugation. Postbiotics have advantag…
Yeast biomass (Saccharomyces sp.) is produced in Brazil in three major industrial sectors: breweries, sugar and alcohol industries, and the bakery sector. Currently, the country is the world's largest producer of sugarcane, ranking second in the world's ethanol production. With regard to breweries in the last twenty years, the number of establishments is increasing. Thus, there is a high …
