The Amapá state has extensive forests and savannas, which are important carbon stocks being negatively affected due to agricultural, forestry and industrial activities. Thus the project aims to develop a methodology applicable to the entire State of Amapá, aiming to reach all types of existing vegetation, being the basis for estimates of forest biomass and the quantification of carbon stocks, in addition to enabling the monitoring of changes caused on biomass due to the economic activities de ...Status: Completed Start date: Thu Dec 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2016 |
| Since Brazil has a strong prospect of becoming a major exporter of dairy products, the production chain of milk needs to prepare to overcome obstacles such as non-tariff barriers related to food safety and quality assurance. Thus, this project aimed to gather information and develop methodologies for addressing such a challenge. One of the goals was the physicochemical and microbiological characterization of four dairy products (Minas Standard cheese, curd cheese, condensed milk, and whey powder Status: Completed Start date: Tue Nov 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2011 |

| Spectroscopy, which is always associated with chemometrics, is a versatile technique that is applied in several areas of science. It is fast, non-destructive, low-cost and, in addition, “clean”, requiring few or no reagents. The latter factor aligns the tool with green chemistry.

Waste recycling is common in agriculture nowadays on different scales, depending on chain organization, available technologies, and environmental and health regulations. Just to mention two figures, in 2009 the sugarcane-ethanol chain produced 604 billion liters of vinasse and 201 million tons of bagasse and filter cake. Although the bagasse is burnt to generate energy and the vinasse is a fertilizer, many challenges remain. The objective of this project is to assess the potential to transfor ...Status: Completed Start date: Wed May 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2013 |
| This project aimed to contribute to the understanding of the interference of synthesis parameters on the properties of the nanomaterials obtained, allowing the integration of new variables into the photocatalyst project. The bench-scale testing of photocatalytic efficiency was performed using ultraviolet and visible radiation, observing the degradation of the dye and pesticide molecules through spectroscopic measurements in the UV-Vis range, electrochemical measurements, and measuring the genera Status: Completed Start date: Tue Dec 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2009 |
| One of the main post-harvest problems is the emergence of spoilage in oranges caused especially by fungi that depreciate the quality and decrease shelf life and may also compromise food safety. Various treatment technologies such as: modified atmosphere, irradiation, anti-microbial ice and high pressure, among others, have been studied in the quest to eliminate food pathogens. Thus, understanding mechanisms of microorganism control in foods have been the topic of intense research with the use of Status: Completed Start date: Mon Sep 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2008 |
| The project's team aims to prospect demands based on the diagnosis and characterization of the main agrarian systems in East São Paulo - especially those linked to Family Farming - towards the joint and participatory generation of knowledge, processes, innovations, methodologies and technologies, aiming at the redesign and the sustainable management of agroecosystems based on Agroecology rules. The East São Paulo region is formed by 90 cities within the Cerrados and Atlantic Rainforest biomes, w ... Status: Completed Start date: Tue May 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2018 |
| The aim of this research is to determine the forage yield, quality and physiology of a Panicum spp. cv. Massai pasture in response to two grazing intensitiesand three irrigation depths. In Tocantins State, the difference between the average monthly minimum and maximum temperature reaches more than 16ºC, evenso, the lowest base temperature observed does not compromise the development of tropical forages. More than 93% of rainfall occurs between October andApril. This way, between May and Septembe ... Status: Completed Start date: Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2014 |

Low-carbon agriculture, a program introduced by the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food Supply in mid-2010, aims to combine the sustainable production of food, fibers and energy with the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the conservation of natural resources. To this end, the Brazilian government encourages the use of the following techniques: no-till farming, biological nitrogen fixation, integrated crop-livestock-forest systems, planting of commercial forests, recovery of de ...Status: Completed Start date: Sun Apr 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2012 |
