Fruit use and fruit processing by euphonias, specialized avian frugivores
Oikos, EarlyView.Euphonias (Neotropical passerines in the genera Euphonia and Chlorophonia) form the quintessential example of a specialized avian frugivore, combining a high reliance on fruit as food and the restriction of fruit taxa exploited. To understand their specialization, we explored the integration of fruit morphological and nutritional traits with their ...

Cellulose Nanowhiskers from Sugar Palm Fibers
Emirates Journal of Food and Agriculture, 2016 In this study, cellulose nanowhiskers from sugar palm fibers were isolated by sulfuric acid hydrolysis. The dimension of neutralized and un-neutralized obtained nanowhiskers was similar of each other. Two films from cellulose nanowhiskers suspension (without and with neutralization) were produced using a vacuum filtration technique.
