The Institute for Bioenergy Research (IPBEN) at Unesp, aiming to improve research infrastructure and making use of the Institutional Technical Reserve granted by FAPESP in the fiscal year 2025 (base year 2024) with application in the year 2026, as decided at the 3rd Ordinary Meeting of 2025 of the IPBEN Deliberative Council, it was decided that 100% of the resources from the Institutional…
This Technical Reserve will allow the complementation of an equipment (LC-MS) already installed at IPBEN, facilitating the work with non-polar molecules, since at the moment, due to the absence of this probe, the equipment allows working with polar molecules due to having only ESI. With the acquisition of the APCI, researches that require its use for non-polar molecules can be carried out…
The Institute for Research in Bioenergy (IPBEN) is receiving its second RTI in this short time of existence, since it started operating in 2014. Through its researchers it has been able to carry out projects with Fapesp and the Institutional Technical Reserve has been important in improving the Institute's Research. As in the previous year, the application of the amount for the base year…
The national fruitculture is one of the most important sectors of Brazilian economy, with significant contributions to the production of fruits, industrialized juices and sweets, exportations of industrialized food, and large-scale employment. Despite its great importance for the national economy, the agroindustry generates huge amounts of residues which contribute to increasing problems …

Petrochemical plastics have become indispensable in modern society; however, their extensive use has caused serious environmental impacts and risks to human health. Alternatively, polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), biopolymers of microbial origin, stand out for being renewable, biodegradable, and biocompatible, and for exhibiting thermal and mechanical properties that can be adjusted according…
DEVELOPMENT OF ANTIMICROBIAL EDIBLE COATING BASED ON NANOEMULSION OF BIOSURFACTANTS AND ESSENTIAL OIL FOR PRESERVATION OF QUALITY AND IMPROVEMENT OF SHELF LIFE OF MANGO (Mangifera indica L)
Rhamnolipids (Rhls) are biosurfactants mainly produced by the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa and which have high surface activity. The production of this surfactant is regulated by a cascade system of quorum sensing and physical-chemical environmental factors. The mutant strain P. aeruginosa LBI 2A1 has shown good results in the production of RLs with an increase of 70% compared to the …
Nowadays, industries all over the world, more and more, yearn for a large-scale production, with high efficiency and low cost, in order to obtain products that help in the improvement of certain components. In view of this, cyclodextrins (CDs), oligosaccharides produced by microorganisms of the genus Bacillus spp., are highly required in this environment, since they have several character…
Surfactins are surfactants available by microorganisms that associate effective activity with low toxicity and high biodegradability. Compounds like this type are of great industrial interest, especially in the field of green chemistry. The green chemical industry has grown in line with the increase in responsibilities related to the environmental impacts of human actions. However, the pr…
Plastics of petrochemical origin have become a mandatory resource for man, however, this need generates major environmental and human health problems. One of the solutions for this situation is the biodegradable plastic of microbial origin, Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), which is a renewable, biodegradable and biocompatible biopolymer, in addition to presenting malleable thermal and mechanic…

Rhamnolipids (RLs) are biosurfactants primarily produced by the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa, exhibiting high surface activity. Their versatile applications stem from properties such as detergent, emulsifying, foaming, and dispersing capabilities. In comparison to chemical surfactants, RLs offer high biodegradability, are derived from renewable sources, exhibit higher specificity, low…
Surfactins are surfactants produced by microorganisms that combine effective activity with low toxicity and high biodegradability. Compounds like this type have great industrial interest, especially in the green chemistry area. The green chemistry industry has grown in line with increasing concerns related to the environmental impacts of human actions. However, the productivity of natural…
Despite the numerous advantages of biosurfactants, such as low toxicity, biodegradability and high stability, these compounds are not widely used because of the high cost of production. The application of metabolic engineering tools allows the identification of flow deviations in metabolic pathways involved in the synthesis of rhamnolipid, which can be overcome by genetically modified str…
