The National Laboratory of Nanotechnology for Agribusiness (LNNA), affiliated with Embrapa Instrumentation, plays a vital role in the scientific and technological advancement of the Brazilian agricultural sector, focusing on nanotechnology. Established with the support of the MCTI and FINEP, the LNNA is recognized as one of the Strategic Laboratories of the SISNano, dedicating considerabl…
Grand challenges such as the fabrication of sensing devices for early diagnosis of cancer and detection of food/water contamination can only be addressed with concerted efforts in multidisciplinary research. Selected problems within the above challenges will be tackled in this Project by a multiinstitutional team of physicists, chemists, engineers, medical doctors and computer scientists,…
Over the last five years, Embrapa Instrumentation has increased its research team from 20 to 30 PhDs. This research team holds the leadership in two national research networks, being one focused on the Nanotechnology Applied to Agriculture, which brings together 180 researchers, and the other one in Precision Agriculture, with 214 researchers. In addition to these 2 research networks, Emb…

Zoonoses currently represent an imminent risk to public health. Among them, tuberculosis, brucellosis and bovine leptospirosis stand out, which are bacterial infections that can be transmitted to humans through the consumption of contaminated meat and milk. In this project we will develop miniaturized, disposable and low-cost biosensors for detecting Microbacterium bovis, Brucella abortus…
Aflatoxins comprise a group of toxic compounds produced by Aspergillus fungi in oilseed grains and pose a health risk. Anthocyanins are natural phenolic compounds capable of indicating the presence of aflatoxins through color changes. The objective of this proposal is to explore the colorimetric potential of anthocyanins and the filmogenic potential of micro- and nanofibrillated and bacte…
The cultivation of coffee has grown significantly in recent years, being one of the products with the highest benefit and consumption globally. However, wet processing of coffee generates large volumes of wastewater with a high content of phenolic compounds, such as caffeic and chlorogenic acid, which are toxic and persistent in the environment. Thus, it is necessary to control water qual…

Intestinal diseases are prevalent worldwide, and the development of sustainable multifunctional materials for controlled drug delivery directly to the colon has received much attention lately. A major challenge that still exists in the preparation of such materials is to achieve, simultaneously, drug protection during gastrointestinal transit, biocompatibility, good performance and simple…
New polymeric materials development with functionalities that ensure safer andhealthier food is needed due to the threat of antibiotic resistance. This problem is associated with economic losses in the food industry, where bacteria food spoilage is one of the main factors responsible for reducing shelf life and increasing the risk of foodborne diseases, decreasing the productivity. The la…
Innovative materials from abundant renewable resources are becoming an important area of research today. The development of polymeric nanofiber membranes based mainly on underutilized natural resources is, however, scarce, making this topic worthy of further exploration. Pereskia aculeata Miller (ora-pro-nobis) has great potential for extracting bioactive compounds with excellent nutraceu…

Sensors could be considered as devices that transform input stimuli into measurable and easily understandable signals. Colorimetric sensors do that by incorporating compounds that change their colors when stimulated by external factors, such as pH alterations. Anthocyanins are water-soluble polyphenols classically associated with pH-induced changes in colors. This kind of sensor could be …
Coffee is one of the most consumed worldwide products. Many coffee producers have employed the wet-processing method to meet market demands for higher-quality coffee beans. However, large volumes of wastewater containing toxic phenolic compounds are generated during this process. In this context, developing sensitive and reliable chemical sensors that allow in-situ measurements of such co…
Efficient and cost-effective colorimetric methods with real-time detection can provide promising options for monitoring food quality. The use of nanofibers as indicators with high sensitivity and uniform color response, as well as quick detection, is being explored. The current proposal aims to create biodegradable nanofiber mats to monitor food quality using two scalable techniques: the …
This research falls within the current scenario involving sustainable nanomaterials. Overall, it deals with the development of nanoparticles composed of the biomacromolecules chitosan and lignin, the latter in the form of carbon-dots. These are expected to act as powerful vehicles for delivering the major compounds of grape extracts, merging the inherent features of nano-objects (e.g., su…
