The Automatic Injection Headspace Gas Chromatograph - FID - TCD is the prime importance to quantify and qualify the biogas generated in the headspace of anaerobic reactors, especially hydrogen, methane, carbon dioxide and H2S. Furthermore, in the proposed configuration it will be possible to evaluate the generations of the liquid phase metabolites which are volatile fatty acids and alcoho…
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 …

Aviation biokerosene (ABK) that is shown as an alternative in reducing emissions of polluting gases generated by aviation industry. The 2G biofuels are those produced from sustainable raw materials that are not used as feed sources, such as, biomass and vegetable oils. The ABK can be classified into three types: Fischer Tropsch (FT), Hydrotreated Esters and Fatty Acids (HEFA) and Synthes…
The full energy utilization of sugar cane should be linked with the current biorefinery concept, which allows the conversion of biomass, besides the production of sugar and ethanol in various chemical products with high added value. Sugar and ethanol plants have on their plants, two residues (bagasse and vinasse) that can generate products with high added value. These wastes, bagasse has …

Fruitculture is one of the economic sectors that generate the most revenue for Brazil. However, this activity is responsible for the generation of environmental problems due to the precarious management of the residues produced by the processing. The agro-industrial residues of guava are rich in compounds of great interest, which can be extracted and/or transformed into products with high…
The Fruit Processing Industry is one of the most important sectors of the economy in the world, and Brazil iscurrently the third largest fruit producer in the world. Banana production has become one of the prominent segments in agribusiness. However, the generation of waste in the sector has generated an increasing environmental and economic concern, since a large part of the fruit proces…
National Fruitculture is one of the most important sectors of the Brazilian economy, contributing significantly to fruit production, the industrialization of juices and sweets, the export of food products and the generation of jobs. Despite its importance in the national economy, this agro-industrial sector generates an enormous amount of waste that contributes to a problematic worsening …

Xylobiosis is a high added value xylooligosaccharide that has attracted the interest of the food, pharmaceutical and agribusiness markets, by helping and modulating the good functioning of the human organism, promoting health. The molecule can be obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis of banana peel and pulp, providing these residues with greater relevance, more economical, strategic and enviro…
The production and processing of fruits are important activities for the Brazilian economy. However, the processing of fruit generates a large amount of waste, which when discarded in inappropriate places, causes a major environmental problem. Orange and banana are the most produced and consumed fruits in the Brazilian territory, and the residues generated by the processing of these fruit…
The sugar-alcohol industry occupies a prominent position in Brazil. Regarding to the production of fuel ethanol, today Brazil has a demand similar to the gasoline, demonstrating the industry's greatness. Along the ethanol production occur the generating of a large amount of waste, such as vinasse, filter cake and bagasse. Among these wastes, vinasse has major environmental concerns due to…

Orange is a fruit of great importance for the Brazilian and Spanish economy. However, the processing of this fruit to obtain juices, soft drinks, sweets, jellies and other products generates a large amount of waste. Orange peels have a large amount of cinnamic acid and its derivatives, such as ferulic, caffeic, synapic and p-coumaric acids. These compounds have antioxidant activities and …
Organic residues from agroindustry have been used as soil amendments for a long time, being manure and vinasse two important examples. Vinasse is a liquid waste from distillation step in ethanol fuel production in Brazil and is widely used in fertigation of sugarcane crops. Vinasse contains a great amount of water, minerals and organic matter, so it is a source of nutrients and water to s…
The biomass consisting of sugarcane bagasse is a byproduct of the process of producing sugar and ethanol. New applications to make the most of bagasse have been developed, among them we can highlight the production of biofuels (ethanol) of second generation. The second generation ethanol is produced from the carbohydrates released from the cell wall of bagasse and straw of sugarcane. Accu…
Vinasse is a liquid byproduct of alcohol production industry . The organic matter present in this matrice is mainly constituted of carbohydrates, alcohols, organic acids and sometimes amino acids. In the case of sugar cane vinasse, lactic acid, glycerol, ethanol and acetic acid are the majority of organic components. Among these compounds, the carboxylic acids are important because they a…
