Rheological behavior of a pectic fraction from the pulp of cupuassu (Theobroma grandiflorum)

Carbohydrate Polymers, 2010
Abstract Rheological examination of water-soluble pectic fractions (W-1 and PW-1) isolated from the pulp of cupuassu ( Theobroma grandiflorum ) were evaluated to determine the influence of starch on the water-soluble pectin. Pectin gels (1–3%, w/w) were prepared at pH 3.0 in the presence of high sucrose concentrations (55–65%).

Application of cupuassu shell as biosorbent for the removal of textile dyes from aqueous solution

Journal of Environmental Management, 2011
The cupuassu shell (Theobroma grandiflorum) which is a food residue was used in its natural form as biosorbent for the removal of C.I. Reactive Red 194 and C.I. Direct Blue 53 dyes from aqueous solutions. This biosorbent was characterized by infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and nitrogen adsorption/desorption curves.
