Removal of copper ions from alembic using agro-industrial residues as biosorbents.

is a typical Brazilian distilled beverage made from fermented sugarcane juice. The copper levels in alembic are of great concern among producers, and the removal of this contaminant is important for the quality of the product. The present study aimed to remove copper ions from alembic by adsorption.

seed oil extracted by pressurized -propane and its effect against biofilms.

is often associated worldwide with foodborne illnesses, and the elimination of biofilms formed by this bacterium from industrial surfaces is very challenging. To date, there have been few attempts to investigate plant oils obtained by recent green technologies, applied against biofilms on usual surfaces of the food industry and bacteria isolated from such environment. Therefore, this study evaluated the activity of seed oil (MOSO), extracted with pressurized -propane, against standard and environmental biofilms.

Functionalized magnetite nanoparticles with with potent antibacterial action in wastewater.

Contaminations by in food industry environments have been extended to industrial Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP). The methodologies used in ETP for bacterial removals and quality parameters adjustment commonly use products toxic to the environment, being mostly inefficient against virulent bacteria such as . Seeds of Lam.
