Equation-Oriented Modeling and Optimization of a Biorefinery Based on Avocado W...
Sousa, D; Rodrigues, D; Castro, PM; Matos, HADue to the growth in the consumption of avocado in recent years, the amount of waste caused by avocado peel and seed has increased. Avocado waste can be transformed into valuable products such as energy, biofuels, and biological products using integrated processes in a biorefinery. This paper considers the detailed modeling, simulation, and optimization of a biorefinery for the production of phenolic compounds,...
Preparation, characterization and evaluation of guar films impregnated with rel...
Batista, P; Castro, PM; Madureira, AR; Sarmento, B; Pintado, MBackground: Biological molecules such as therapeutic proteins and peptides have provided ample opportunities for further improvements in health and wellbeing. However, such biomacro-molecules face stability challenges regarding premature processing and digestion, whenever any enteric delivery route is considered. Hence, oral guar films entrapping peptide-containing chitosan microparticles have been developed as...
