Grand challenges such as the fabrication of sensing devices for early diagnosis of cancer and detection of food/water contamination can only be addressed with concerted efforts in multidisciplinary research. Selected problems within the above challenges will be tackled in this Project by a multiinstitutional team of physicists, chemists, engineers, medical doctors and computer scientists,…
Over the last five years, Embrapa Instrumentation has increased its research team from 20 to 30 PhDs. This research team holds the leadership in two national research networks, being one focused on the Nanotechnology Applied to Agriculture, which brings together 180 researchers, and the other one in Precision Agriculture, with 214 researchers. In addition to these 2 research networks, Emb…

The cultivation of coffee has grown significantly in recent years, being one of the products with the highest benefit and consumption globally. However, wet processing of coffee generates large volumes of wastewater with a high content of phenolic compounds, such as caffeic and chlorogenic acid, which are toxic and persistent in the environment. Thus, it is necessary to control water qual…
The shelf life of perishable foods is generally determined by estimates made from microbiological, chemical, and sensory analyzes of samples stored under standardized conditions. In addition to being expensive and time-consuming, such estimates are imprecise when it comes to predicting the real stability of food, as they do not predict the occurrence of inadequate storage, such as the ove…
Innovative materials from abundant renewable resources are becoming an important area of research today. The development of polymeric nanofiber membranes based mainly on underutilized natural resources is, however, scarce, making this topic worthy of further exploration. Pereskia aculeata Miller (ora-pro-nobis) has great potential for extracting bioactive compounds with excellent nutraceu…
Intestinal diseases are prevalent worldwide, and the development of sustainable multifunctional materials for controlled drug delivery directly to the colon has received much attention lately. A major challenge that still exists in the preparation of such materials is to achieve, simultaneously, drug protection during gastrointestinal transit, biocompatibility, good performance and simple…
New polymeric materials development with functionalities that ensure safer andhealthier food is needed due to the threat of antibiotic resistance. This problem is associated with economic losses in the food industry, where bacteria food spoilage is one of the main factors responsible for reducing shelf life and increasing the risk of foodborne diseases, decreasing the productivity. The la…
Polymer nanofibers are materials of appealing properties for varied technological applications owing to their special features as high surface area/volume ratio, mechanical flexibility and mainly to the possibility to promote surface and/or bulk modification to produce functional hybrid nanofibers. Such nanofibers are highly potential for designing filtration membranes, energy storage dev…

Efficient and cost-effective colorimetric methods with real-time detection can provide promising options for monitoring food quality. The use of nanofibers as indicators with high sensitivity and uniform color response, as well as quick detection, is being explored. The current proposal aims to create biodegradable nanofiber mats to monitor food quality using two scalable techniques: the …
This research falls within the current scenario involving sustainable nanomaterials. Overall, it deals with the development of nanoparticles composed of the biomacromolecules chitosan and lignin, the latter in the form of carbon-dots. These are expected to act as powerful vehicles for delivering the major compounds of grape extracts, merging the inherent features of nano-objects (e.g., su…
This research joins the current efforts towards sustainable materials using biopolymers (cellulose derivatives and proteins, in our case) as precursors. The aim is to deepen the physicochemical understanding of interfacial interactions among the biopolymer multilayers. The nanoscale evaluation allows proposing suitable surface modification routes that optimize the molecular adhesion proce…
Soybean is one of the leading products of Brazilian agriculture. This crop is very demanding on nitrogen, but as a legume crop, it obtains most of its N requirements through a biological atmospheric nitrogen (N2)fixing process in symbiosis with bacteria of the species Bradyrhizobium japonicum.The biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) is both realized by the bacteria species Bradyrhizobium ja…
There is a growing number of bone injury cases worldwide requiring effective surgical procedures. Biomaterial nanocomposites are promising materials for bone tissue engineering due to the possibility to combine both the appropriate polymer matrix and inorganic filler to obtain material with biocompatibility, bio absorption and mechanical resistance properties to be used as bone substituen…
The increasing environmental concern regarding the plastic pollution worldwide has stimulated the development of low-cost biodegradable materials. Proteins can be used as a polymer matrix for the production of edible and biodegradable packaging with differentiated physical, sensory and nutritional properties. However, using only proteins is not enough for producing films with satisfactory…
