The technological use of lignocellulolitic agroindustrial waste has been much interest worldwide due to be a new renewable source for the production of food, chemicals and biofuels. On the national scene there is a great quantity of waste available, among which stand out the sugarcane bagasse, cassava bagasse, wheat bran and citrus pulp, from agricultural activities. These raw materials c…
Yeast biomass (Saccharomyces sp.) is produced in Brazil in three major industrial sectors: breweries, sugar and alcohol industries, and the bakery sector. Currently, the country is the world's largest producer of sugarcane, ranking second in the world's ethanol production. With regard to breweries in the last twenty years, the number of establishments is increasing. Thus, there is a high …
The fuel ethanol production process in Brazil is made from the fermentation of sugarcane molasses, but this process is not aseptic and suffers contamination caused by bacteria, especially Lactobacillus fermentum, responsible for reducing the fermentative efficiency performed by Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast and increase the cost of the inputs. This occurs by nutrient competition, with co…
Food waste is increasing in the world and if this residue is inappropriate disposal cause serious problems in the environment, due to its toxicity for soil and water. Then, new technologies for the use of urban solid waste (USW) can decrease its damage for nature. There is also a strong interest in the development of fuels from renewable sources, aiming at lower environmental impacts than…
