Food waste is one of the greatest actual global problems. Around one third of the world's food production is lost along the production, distribution, and consumption. In the case of fruits, this waste reaches 50%. In this context, processing agro-industrial by-products, following the principles of circular economy and reverse engineering, is clear trend for the future of food industry. Th…
The Laboratory of High Pressure in Food Engineering (LAPEA) has focused its research activities on high pressure processes to obtain added value products from natural sources. Recent results have shown that food industry by-products are important sources of bioactive compounds, and high pressure technologies are feasible alternatives for the recovery and purification of such components th…
The Laboratory of High Pressure in Food Engineering (LAPEA) has focused its activities on the investigation of high pressure processes, with emphasis in supercritical technology for obtaining high value products from natural sources. Recent results have shown that by-products from the food industry are important sourced of bioactive compounds, and high pressure technologies are viable alt…

The Amazon rainforest has a rich biodiversity in its fauna and flora, which arouses commercial and academic interests. Tucumã do Amazonas (Astrocaryum aculeatum) is a very common fruit in this region, usually consumed in nature and highly nutritious. In addition to the almond, from which the almond used to produce the butter is extracted, tucumã peel is one of the main residues provided b…
Recent studies have shown that fruit by-products from agro-industry are important sources of bioactive compounds and polysaccharides, such as pectin, widely used in the food industry. Using emerging technologies of extraction and separation of these compounds is an attractive alternative, as they are clean methods that use non-toxic solvents and high quality products. In this context, the…
Essential oils are sources of bioactive compounds that can be extracted from the orange juice-processing residue. These compounds are used in food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries, acting as a flavoring and even anticarcinogenic. However, the industrial orange oil contains waxes that reduce its added value. Thus, the objective of this work is to remove waxes present in orange esse…
The use of agro-industrial by-products is an attractive alternative to mitigate environmental problems and at the same time serves as a source for obtaining high value-added bioactive compounds for the food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries. Among these compounds, we can mention polyphenols, which are found in considerable quantities in passion fruit bagasse, a byproduct resulting…
The utilization of food industry by-products in many applications as the generation of energy, materials manufacture, and bioactive compounds obtention is an important way to add value to these residues. Phytochemicals such as tocopherols, carotenes, and phytosterols are still less explored through safety extraction methods to further application in food and cosmetics. Extracts obtained u…

Recent studies have shown that fruit by-products from the agroindustry is important source of pectin, widely used in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Obtaining pectin using emerging extraction technologies is an attractive alternative because these are clean methods that use non-toxic solvents and can produce high-quality products in short extraction time. In this context, the bior…
Bioactive compounds in plant and vegetable extracts may promote great health benefits, and many studies have been currently focusing on their bioactivity and potential to become a natural medication. At present, treatments for neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis disease and other dementia disorders) are mostly to alleviate the symptoms. Therefore, stud…
Recently it was reported the presence of capsinoids in biquinho pepper (Capsicum chinense), which is a Brazilian native sweet pepper. Capsinoids exhibit physiological effects equivalent to those of capsaicinoids, without however expressing the characteristic of pungency. Important biological activities of capsinoids are the ability to prevent tumorigenesis in mice, induce apoptosis in tum…
