Ministério da Agricultura, Pecuária e Abastecimento (Brasil). Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária (EMBRAPA). Embrapa Instrumentação Agropecuária (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Graduated in Pharmacy from the Faculty of Pharmacy and Biochemistry of Espirito Santo (1976), Master in Chemistry from the Military institute of Engineering I(1979) and PhD in Chemistry from Military institute of Engineering (1983). Post-doctorate in determination of the structure, dynamics and function of virus proteins by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), at the University of Pennsylvania, 1983 to 1985 and from 1991 to 1992. He is currently a researcher - Embrapa Instrumentação Agropecuária. Has experience in biophysics and biochemistry, with an emphasis on NMR and in the Fourier Transformed Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, applied to the following topics: metabolomic analysis of tumor cells, bacteria, plant and animal tissues, food , monitoring of electrochemical reactions in situ, biofuels and other materials. It also works in the development of edible films for food coating, systems for controlled release of drugs and nutrients. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Currently, with the increase in the world's population, changes in climate and increasingly rapid dispersion of pests and diseases, agricultural research must not only increasingly increase productivity, even in the presence of extreme climatic events, but also generate technologies so that production systems are increasingly less polluting. To achieve these objectives, research in the ag…
Agriculture is one of the human activities that allowed the evolution of the human being as a society, as it is the main source of food, Feed, fiber and fuel (4F). Faced with the continuous increase in the human population, changes in climate patterns and rapidly dispersion of pests and diseases, agricultural research must not only increase productivity, but also generate higher quality p…
Nuclear magnetic resonance in the time domain (DT-NMR) typically uses benchtop appliances that have low cost. The DT-NMR is used mainly in the analysis of homogeneous and heterogeneous materials, process control, agricultural products and by-products, quality of food, oil and oil products, cosmetics. The analysis of solid components in foods, polymers and other organic materials are much …
Agribusiness is one of the main sectors of the Brazilian economy and not only supplies the domestic market but is also the country's main export sector. Despite this great importance, agricultural products are exported as commodities which indicates that they are exported without any quality specification. In order to be marketed in a differentiated way it is necessary to have fast qualit…

The triacylglycerols (TAGs) that make up vegetable oils have a high concentration of unsaturated fatty acids (cis) and are therefore liquid at room temperature [1]. This limits their applications in domestic and industrial cooking, since these oils are highly susceptible to oxidation and high temperatures and, for example, do not produce crispy foods. An alternative widely used in the pas…

Vulvovaginal candidiasis is a fungal mucocutaneous infection responsible for 20-30% of vaginal infections, occurring mostly in women in reproductive age. Several approaches have been exploited to achieve higher drug stability by using vaginal-based formulations and devices instead of parenteral and oral administrations. Recently, polymer-based nanocarriers platforms have received increasi…
The coupling between electrochemistry and NMR spectroscopy (EC-NMR) is a powerful technique to elucidate reaction mechanisms specially in oxidative degradation reactions. It can be a good option to evaluate unstable species. Despite the advantages, there are some problems resulting from the coupling, such as the noise generated by the electrochemical signal and the reducing of NMR peak re…
The project deals the development of new Gd-based relaxation agents, taking account of the fine tuning of a number of parameters, namely improved sensitivity, very high stability in vivo, well-controlled excretion process and well-defined distribution pathway. The aim of the project will be to investigate the relaxometric behaviour of a series of new synthesized contrast agents based on t…
