• Abstract

  Dr. Andreas Bueck is a Professor from Process Engineering Institute, from Otto von Guericke Universitat (OvGU), Germany, and will develop a broad visit plan. Initially, the visitor will offer a short course (30h) on Process Modeling and Simulation on Chemical and Food Engineering to the graduate students from Programa de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia e Ciência de Alimentos (PPG-ECA) from IB…

• Abstract

  The main purpose of this project is to scale-up the cellulase production by solid-state fermentation (SSF) in packed-bed bioreactors, using solid agro-industrial by-products as substrates. Several scaling-up strategies will be used. Although SSF results in high yields of enzymes, this technique lacks of technological knowledge for large production. This project include experimental and si…

• Abstract

  This project aims at the experimental determination of rheological properties and structural of sugarcane bagasse mixtures and wheat bran, commonly employed in solid-state cultivation (SSC) to obtain enzymes of interest of second generation ethanol. Such properties are important for the bioreactors development and are little explored in the literature.Compression modulus, porosity and por…

• Abstract

  At this moment, when the development of clean and renewable energetic matrices is strategic, hydrolytic enzymes are in the spotlight due to their capacity of hydrolyzing lignocellulosic materials, wastes from agro-industry, aiming to second generation ethanol production. Solid-state fermentation (SSF) is a biotechnological alternative environmentally and economically feasible for such enz…

• Abstract

  This project aims to obtain and apply a biofungicide from native and non native plants from Brazil to control the infestation of the fungus Aspergillus flavus in peanuts (Arachis hypogaea), variety Runner. The minimal inhibition concentration (MIC) of the essential oils of cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum), clove (Syzygium aromaticum), basil (Ocimum basilicum), oregano (Origanum vulgare) a…

• Abstract

  This project of international cooperation is part of a doctorate study for cellulase production by solid state fermentation (SSF) in packed bed bioreactors, in which several scale-up strategies are applied. Agro-industrial by products, specifically sugar cane bagasse and wheat bran, are used as substrates and the newly isolated thermophilic fungus Myceliophtora sp. as microorganism. The d…
