Objective: This study evaluated the feasibility of using chocolate as a food matrix for delivering Akkermansia muciniphila, a next- generation probiotic known for improving gut barrier function and metabolic health. The research assessed the viability of A. muciniphila in three different chocolate formulations, characterised the chocolate’s biological characteristics, and evaluated the potential prebiotic and b...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2019-11-15; Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP); Ethanol–air deflagrations were experimentally studied inside a closed tube by varying the equivalence ratio (0.9–1.4) and the initial pressure (20–60 kPa). The flame front inversion phenomenon was observed in all tests. It was determined tha...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2017-01-01; Flammability limits must be identified in order to assess and control handling risks of particular processes according to combustion product composition and environmental conditions. Thereby, the present paper aims to present a model that can predict flammability limits for ethanol-air blends with at di...
Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a group of isomers of linoleic acid (LA) with several potential health benefits which justifies the efforts to obtain foods with enhanced CLA contents. A possible way to obtain CLA-enriched products is via fermentation as several micro-organisms, many of which are employed in the manufacture of foods, are known to convert free LA into CLA. However, due to several constraints, t...
