| This project aims to develop an enzymatic route for biodiesel production, using ethanol and palm oil as raw materials. Currently, biodiesel is obtained by a chemical reaction between an oil and an alcohol, accelerated by a chemical catalyst - mainly sodium hydroxide. The use of this catalyst, however, causes a number of problems, such as high energy consumption, difficult glycerol recovery and the generation of a large volume of effluent. In addition, it causes saponification when acid oils, suc Status: Completed Start date: Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2013 |

To address these deficiencies, this project aims to research native species with potential use in these syst ... Status: Completed Start date: Mon Dec 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2008 |
| This project consistes in the development of the Uzum system for the diagnosis of diseases, pests and nutritional and physiological disorders in four temperate climate fruits: Grapes, Peaches, Strawberries and Apples. The software uses artificial intelligence to quickly diagnose possible disturbances occurring in the orchard, using a simple and direct interface. The knowledge base is generated from information and images provided by experts in each area. The system is being developed initially f Status: Completed Start date: Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2019 |
| The exploration of milk whey resulting from cheese-making has increased in Brazil due to the setup of industrial units where whey and byproducts are concentrated and dried. However, the volume of whey that is discarded or underused is still extremely high, notably at small dairies. This project aims to survey the volume and quality of the milk whey generated in the largest cheese-producing regions of the country, located in the states of Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro and Rio Grande do Sul. It als Status: Completed Start date: Thu Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2013 |

This project aims to promote the exchange of scientific knowledge about forest management and local knowledge about extractivism for biodiversity conservation, enabling the development of rural territories in the Amazon, generating income and improving the quality of life of local populations. Management technologies and good practices for the sustainable production of forest products will be disseminated, validated and adapted for açai, Brazil chestnut, andiroba, pracaxi, buriti, bacu ...Status: Completed Start date: Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2019 |
| The adoption of intensive pig farming systems brought economies of scale, greater productivity and logistic gains, but it increased the incidence of infections and animal stress levels, resulting in bouts of infectious diseases and making the use of antimicrobials in subtherapeutic or preventive doses necessary to promote growth and to mitigate the occurrence of diseases.

Legislation requirements and consumer demands increasingly push for food safety and quality assurances. Nowadays, generally speaking, quality indicators and contaminants are individually determined in specialized laboratories, which requires long procedures and expensive reagents and makes the analysis of large volumes of samples impracticable. The quick obtainment of analysis results to identify the presence of contaminants and characterize the technological suitability of grains and derivat ...Status: Completed Start date: Sun Feb 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2015 |
| In the matter of control of HLB, the subject of study by several research groups has been the use of biological agents: predators, parasitoids or pathogenic microorganisms that are capable of decreasing the population densities of Diaphorina citri not only in areas where HLB is already established, but also in undersized areas where the high psyllid populations have not yet been subjected to such intensive spraying of pesticides. This project has contributed to the prospecting and characterizati Status: Completed Start date: Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2019 |

River and may represent a methodological advance in the study of models of distribution of species of the ichthyofauna in the Eastern Amazon, in addition to assisting the management of this aquatic ecosystem and water resources, by public agencies. Parasitic diseases can be considered one of the factors that threatens fish populations in a natural environment, since parasites can actively act in the destruction of the communities of these animals, affecting the relative abundance of different ...Status: Completed Start date: Sat Mar 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2014 |

Climate change caused by human activities is a reality that can affect agricultural production and is therefore a phenomenon that must be considered in strategic decisions. At the same time that it is affected, agriculture is seen as one of the main causes of global warming due to changes in land use, mainly due to deforestation through burning and non-conservationist soil management, which can lead to land degradation and more greenhouse gas emissions. Understanding the social and economic d ...Status: Completed Start date: Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2012 |
