No Brasil, um grande número de agroindústrias familiares elabora suco de uva ‘caseiro’ ou ‘colonial’ pela técnica da panela extratora por arraste de vapor. O produto é vendido em feiras de agricultura familiar e para consumidores do entorno de cada propriedade produtora, contribuindo, de forma importante, para a renda da pequena propriedade rural. A referida panela, embora seja um equipamento de preço bastante acessível, resulta na elaboração de suco com incorporação de água, proveniente do vapo ...

In previous projects, Embrapa Dairy cattle developed nanostructured intramammary formulations of mastitis, which show potential therapeutic use in the treatment of bovine keratoconjunctivitis. Infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis is a contagious disease that affects the eyes of cattle of all age groups, mainly calves, caused by Moraxella bovis. The disease is rarely fatal, but production losses are high. The costs caused by this disease involve weight loss, falling milk production and

Despite agri-business's great importance, our principal products are exported in the form of commodities, without any quality specification. In order to commercialize them with quality attributes, it is necessary to make use of processes of quality determination and certification, at low costs, so that the price of the analyzed product won't rise significantly. Thus, it is necessary to develop ultrafast sensors that allow the analysis of thousands of samples an hour and non destructively, which

The project was conducted in order to identify and evaluate alternatives to produce genetically modified embryos and, subsequently, genetically modified ruminant animals, by identifying methods or procedures that enable the production of ruminant transgenic embryos in a more efficient way, reducing time and costs. Such procedures, associated with the insertion of genes of interest, may allow the generation of genetically modified animals capable of producing recombinant proteins important for an

This component project uses a transversal approach and is responsible for the search and analysis of advanced information technologies (TIs), and their operation in order to perform more efficient simulations that deal with impacts caused by climate change in the country's agriculture. The project is linked to the project "Simulation of Agricultural Future Scenarios from the Regional Climate Change Projections" and will take a look at technology alternatives in a system of high performance paral ...
