Brazil has a tradition in several agro-industrial sectors, notably the production of orange juice, soybeans, and coffee beans. Supply chains in these sectors generate waste with potential to be transformed in chemical products and energy by integrated biorefineries. On the other hand, chitin is the second most abundant biopolymer in nature, after cellulose. It is found for instance on was…
Brazil has a longstanding tradition and significant participation in various agro-industrial sectors, particularly in the production of orange juice, soybeans, and coffee. Over the past ten years, the country's share in the global food market has increased significantly, especially through exports of meat, soybeans, corn, cotton, and forest products. Brazil is expected to become the large…
Chitin is the second most abundant biopolymer in nature, after cellulose, with which it shares significant chemical structural similarities. Among the sources of chitin, the exoskeleton of arthropods, particularly crustaceans such as shrimp, stands out. Brazil is one of the world's largest shrimp producers, with its aquaculture distributed geographically across the South, North, and North…
Shrimp farming is a technique for raising shrimp in captivity, whose production in Brazil in 2021 reached 120 thousand tons, even with the health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The production of crustaceans represents around 10% of the aquaculture sector and the amount of waste generated by these species is significant, representing about 40% of the total weight of these animals.…
According to the United States Department of Agriculture, Brazil is the world's largest producer of orange juice, with a harvest of over one million tons in 2020, approximately four times that of the USA, the second-place producer (USDA, 2022). In the juice production process, 50% to 60% of the fruit mass is discarded, generating a solid residue that is typically disposed of in landfills …
Brazil is the world's largest soybean producer, with a productivity of approximately 3,528 kg/ha, over a total area of about 40 million hectares (CONAB, 2022). During soybean processing, various residues are generated in planting and processing stages. Some of these residues are already commercially valued, mainly in the food industry, but there is still significant underutilized potentia…
The Scientific Initiation grant for this project aims to make available, at the end of the first year of the project, a structured database following software architecture practices. This will allow graduate students to work directly on modeling and implementing models of chemical, biochemical and thermochemical conversion of residues from soy, citrus and coffee chains when starting their…
This research internship proposal is part of an ongoing FAPESP-funded Master's project focused on the valorization of citrus and coffee agro-industrial wastes through biorefinery concepts. A central challenge addressed in the project is the replacement of conventional petrochemical solvents-especially hexane-with safer, renewable, and environmentally friendly alternatives for use in extra…
Brazil is the world's leading producer and exporter of soybeans, generating substantial volumes of agro-industrial residues, particularly soybean straw, which remain largely underutilized despite their significant potential for bioenergy and biochemical applications within a biorefinery context. The main objective of this international internship (BEPE) is to develop dynamic and thermally…
Data mining and visualizing methods are essential for computational decision-making tools, given the large volume of data that is collected, stored and shared by public and private entities. Data-driven models that utilize optimization techniques can be applied for efficient decision-making processes. Systems related to the use of renewable resources, such as biomass, are such an example …
