The solid residue (torta), which is obtained from pressing Brazil nuts for oil extraction, is rich in phenolic compounds and selenium. With the aim of increasing the socio-economic and environmental importance of Brazil nuts through the extraction of bioactive compounds, the application of Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) and Biobased Solvents for the extraction of these compounds is being pr…
The Vale do Amanhecer Farmers Cooperative (Juruena/MT) (COOPAVAM, Juruena/MT) was created in 2008 for development of one of the main value chains in the northwest region of MT (belonging to the Legal Amazon): Brazil nut. Similar to several other processing cooperatives in the Amazon region, it faces technological challenges: (i) non-standardized protocols for the production of "in natura"…
Currently, Brazil nut oil is extracted by the Cooperativa dos Agricultores do Vale do Amanhecer (COOPAVAN/Juruena/MT) by pressing, generating a cake byproduct rich in oil. This remaining oil can be extracted using solvent extraction processes, increasing profitability and the possibility of developing new products. Although hexane extraction processes are widely studied and used industria…

The sugar-acohol sector in Brazil has experienced successive increases in demand and production. This increase in production can allow a more profitable use of sub-products, such as fusel oil produced from bioethanol distilleries. The energy requirements and the addition of value to by-products are the areas that can have the greatest impact in the sustainability and profitability of etha…
Vegetable oils play an important role in the human diet, due to their high energy content and being a source of a variety of fat-soluble vitamins and essential fatty acids. Moreover, it has been highlighting its potential as a source of renewable energy in the form of biodiesel. The physical properties are important in the optimization of industrial processes and designing equipment invol…
Crude vegetable oils are obtained by solvent extraction, by mechanical extraction or by a combination of both methods. Solvent extraction has some advantages, like operates at lower temperatures and also can extract other desirable non-fatty components from seeds. Hexane is the usual solvent to extract oil by leaching, but it is highly flammable and is suspected to cause hazard to human h…
