Building bridges between environmental and political agendas is essential nowadays in face of the increasing human pressure on natural environments, including wetlands. Wetlands provide critical ecosystem services for humanity can generate a considerable direct or indirect income to local communities. To meet many sustainable development goals, we need move our trajectory from current destructive wiser wetland use. The article contain proposed agenda Pantanal aiming improvement public policy...
Macauba or macaw palm ( Acrocomia aculeata) has great potential for oil production in tropical American biomes. This work aimed to describe a full set of procedures obtain high quality crude and refined pulp oil. Crude was extracted by forced pressing dried, mechanically pulped fruits that were collected directly from the bunch at ripening stage. The preliminary refining process sequentially encompassed degumming, neutralization, bleaching, deodorization. Identity parameters (fatty acid...
Abstract The effects of aluminum on the accumulation sugars, amino acids and organic in two hybrid cultivars sorghum were studied. concentration these compounds increased roots Al‐treated plants, mainly tolerant cultivar. composition acid fraction showed a significantly higher trans‐aconitate malate cultivar as compared with sensitive one. levels plants could be interpreted being indicative chelating detoxifying mechanism plants.
Cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) were obtained from macauba and gravata fibers. Macauba (or Bocaiuva) is a palm tree found throughout most of Brazil Gravata an abundant kind bromelia with 1-2m long leaves, in Brazilian Pantanal Cerrado. The raw fibers both mercerized NaOH solutions bleached; they then submitted to acid hydrolysis using H2SO4 at 45 °C, varying the time 15 up 75 min. analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), FTIR Spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) thermal stability...
The effects of thermal history on dichloromethane vapor sorption and transport properties polyetherimides were studied. Films prepared by solution casting at room temperature heat treated for 24 h different temperatures below the corresponding glass transition each material. Changes due to treatment observed are correlated changes in density, free volume, transitions. Deviation from Fick's Henry's laws was all samples Without low activities penetrant, materials studied show kinetics similar...
A palmeira Acrocomia spp, também conhecida como bocaiuva, tem sido explorada de forma extrativista por agricultores subsistência que vivem na área ocorrência, gerando fonte renda e a valorização dos frutos nativos. bocaiuva é difícil despolpa, então este estudo objetivo comparar as propriedades químicas o perfil lipídico das farinhas despolpadas manual mecânica. Foram realizadas análises químicas: umidade, cinzas, lipídios, proteínas, carboidratos fibras. Os ácidos graxos foram determinados...
Bocaiuva (Acrocomia spp.) is a fruit native to areas of Cerrado and Pantanal that stands out for its nutritional value, presence bioactive substances, high pulp yield. The aim this study was develop mass candy bocaiuva, characterize it physicochemically, quantify the retention evaluate physicochemical microbiological stability sensorial acceptance up 120 days, verify effect different types packages storage time on developed product quality. prepared stored in plastic terephthalate polyethene...
Os povos e comunidades tradicionais (PCTs) no Pantanal desempenham papel relevante uso conservação da biodiversidade, bem como na conformação realidade sociocultural de seus territórios. O objetivo deste trabalho foi promover uma breve revisão algumas ações pesquisa realizadas pela Embrapa parceiros com PCTs Sul-Mato-Grossense ao longo das últimas décadas. Além experiências dos autores, foram identificados alguns estudos relacionados aos referidos suas comunidades. Por meio reflexão sobre...
