| The production of strawberries in Brazil is of great importance and has been experiencing increasing expansion every year. This culture still is of great social importance once great part of productive areas are based in family farming, thus being directly linked to family income, job offer and establishment of manpower in rural economical activities. Despite its importance, many are the technological gaps and few are the research institutions currently involved in strawberry studies. Great part Status: Completed Start date: Mon Mar 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2010 |
| Vegetables are essential foods in a healthy diet because of their supply of vitamins, minerals, and fibers. Additionally, they are sources of bioactive compounds that are related to the prevention of some illnesses. However, the low quality of the vegetables offered in most Brazilian markets reduces their attractiveness and supply, causing losses and waste, with high financial, social and environmental costs for society. The project aims to work on this issue with a focus on communication and te Status: Completed Start date: Tue Sep 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2015 |
| The consumer market is becoming increasingly demanding regarding the production conditions (environment, health and safety of foods). These health and safety demands on animal welfare come from "the outside to the inside" and may indirectly represent a setback in the market and consumption of products of animal origin. This project's goal is to develop technologies to improve the welfare of the animals, the meat quality and decrease quantitative and qualitative losses related to pre-slaughter ha ...

| 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 |
| Reproductive biotechnologies, particularly in vitro embryo production, can be useful to improve the milk productivity in Brazil by accelerating the genetic gain and reducing the intervals between generations. Genomic selection associated with reproductive biotechnology may be applied at the embryonic stage to promote the selection of embryos with desirable genetic traits and disposal of those with undesirable traits; consequently, maintenance costs of recipient cows would be reduced and efforts Status: Completed Start date: Sun Jun 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2014 |
| Grapevine production is widespread areas with distinct climate conditions throughout the world. Adaptation to local environmental conditions results from evolutionary processes leading to functional and structural changes to maximize plant performance. Plant adaptation consists in a complex network of environmental sensing and interpretation processes coupled with endogenous environmental mechanisms to control development and generate the phenotypic plasticity required adapt growth and developme Status: Completed Start date: Tue Nov 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2011 |
| Com o objetivo principal de aumentar a qualidade e a produtividade da maçã brasileira, foram gerados subsídios importantes ao setor produtivo para o estabelecimento de tecnologias apropriadas ao manejo da planta e do fruto. Além disso, foram desenvolvidos estudos fundamentais relacionados aos aspectos moleculares e fisiológicos da qualidade do fruto, visando ampliar conhecimentos acerca de fenômenos que ocorrem nas frutas durante sua vida pós-colheita. Em termos de resultados principais, destaca ... Status: Completed Start date: Tue Feb 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2011 |
| Milk is a complex substance that presents different characteristics depending on the management of animal factors. The alizarol test is typically used at collection points, which often generates divergences between the industry and farmers because of faulty results and subjectivities. More refined tests are only accomplished in laboratories when the milk reaches the industry. A very critical problem is the occurrence of Unstable Non-Acid Milk (UNAM), as there are changes in the milk's physical-c Status: Completed Start date: Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2018 |
| This project aims to contribute to improving the management, quality and biosafety of commercial egg-laying barns, through the implementation of best practices in production and in the training of technicians and farmers. It is aimed at smallholders and mid-sized family farmers whose egg production derives from hens raised in traditional aviaries (California-type layer cages).
