Connecting tradition and technology: The digitization of the ethnobotanical collection at the Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The digitization of RBetno (JBRJ) represents a step forward for biodiversity conservation in Brazil. Aligned with the Kunming‐Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (Target 2, 2020–2030), this project documents the use of plants, including traditional knowledge and vernacular names, with a focus on the Atlantic Forest and Amazon.

Upcycling orange by‐product: phenolic bioaccessibility and technological features of jelly candies enriched with hydroalcoholic and enzymatic extracts

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 6, Page 3773-3785, April 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Phenolic extracts are recognized for their health‐promoting properties, although some physicochemical characteristics limit their food applications. The present study aimed to valorize orange juice by‐products through enzymatic and hydroalcoholic extraction to obtain flavonoid ingredients and to evaluate their application in pectin ...

Integrated bioconversion of starchy and hemicellulosic fractions of macauba oil presscake into ethanol by nonconventional yeasts

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, Volume 20, Issue 2, Page 779-792, March/April 2026.
Abstract Co‐fermentation of hexoses and pentoses from plant biomass to ethanol is a strategy to increase ethanol production from lignocellulosic materials and add value to residues from agroindustrial chains. The macauba (Acrocomia aculeata) is an oleaginous palm‐tree species considered to contribute to development in some regions of Brazil.

Buriti oil emulsions as affected by spi/high-methoxyl pectin ratio, oil content and homogenization pressure: Production and characterization of buriti oil emulsions

, 2020
Research background. Emulsion technology is a suitable way of encapsulating, protecting and releasing bioactive hydrophobic compounds for application in food industries, but they are thermodynamically unstable systems. Good results have been achieved for emulsions stabilized by protein-polysaccharide complexes subjected to high-pressure homogenization.
