Banana is one of the most consumed fruits worldwide and a climacteric tropical commodity that requires harvesting methods, storage and transportation, which burden its marketing. It is one of the food crops most susceptible to diseases, such as anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum musae, considered the main postharvest disease of bananas. This pathogen is a quiescent fungus that infects the fruits during preharvest which symptoms appear at postharvest with advanced stage of maturity. Although efficient, ...

We developed a new hydrophobic polymer based on angico gum (AG), and we produced new nanoparticles to expand the applications of natural polysaccharides in nanomedicine. Phthalate angico gum (PAG) was characterized by 1H NMR, FTIR, elementary analysis, solubility, XRD, and TG. PAG was a hydrophobic and semi-crystalline material, a relevant characteristic for drug delivery system applications. As a proof of concept, nevirapine (NVP) was selected for nanoparticles development. Plackett-Burman's experimental ...

Hydrothermal carbonization is a thermochemical treatment whose objective is to convert carbohydrate components of a given biomass into carbon-rich material in an aqueous medium. Biomass of wastewater grown microalgae is among the various potential biomasses for this route. However, operational parameters of hydrothermal carbonization for different types of biomass are still being investigated. In general, larger temperature ranges (180–260 °C) are applied to woody biomasses, which have fibrous and/ ...
