Manganese peroxidase (MnP) is a ligninolytic enzyme that involved in the removal of lignin from cell wall plants. This facilitates access hydrolytic enzymes to carbohydrate polymers are hydrolyzed simple sugars, which allows subsequent fermentation obtain bioproducts, such as ethanol. In this work, response surface methodology (RSM) was employed optimize culture conditions on unexpensive substrate for MnP secretion by Trametes villosa. Three independent variables were evaluated (i.e.,...

Abstract Camu‐camu ( Myrciaria dubia ) fruit is a rich source of bioactive compounds but its shelf life rather short. Therefore, this study was aimed to evaluate the effect inlet air temperature T and concentration C maltodextrin arabic gum on spray‐drying process commercial camu‐camu pulps (São Paulo Manaus). Moisture, solubility, total phenolics (TP), ascorbic acid (AA), proanthocyanidins (PAC) contents, in vitro antioxidant capacity powders (FRAP, DPPH, Folin–Ciocalteu's reducing were...

The presented study aimed to produce sequilhos with Non-Conventional Food Plants (arrowroot and licuri), using different proportions of wild passion fruit shell powder (PFP). These products were analyzed regards the proximal composition (ash, moisture, proteins, lipids dietary fiber) water activity. sensory aspects evaluated by acceptability purchase intention tests, in which 118 non-trained adult panelists participated study. All formulations produced this (containing 5, 10 15% PFP) higher...

Bananas are widely consumed fruits globally, known for their nutritional and economic significance. Thus, this study set out to create a green banana biomass ice cream using various proportions, along with physicochemical sensory analyses. The findings revealed that the containing 20% closely resembled characteristics of market-available products. Additionally, it boasted good quality lower fat content received positive feedback. This indicates made holds great potential in both consumer...

Ceylon cinnamon is a possible reserve of proanthocyanidins. This study aimed at the extraction and characterization an extract rich in proanthocyanidins from cinnamon. Extraction kinetics data were determined using hydroalcoholic solution as solvent, different temperatures, solid:solvent mass ratios up to 60 min. The obtained under best conditions was analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography/diode array detection, main fractions collected evaluated spectrometry antioxidant capacity...
