ABSTRACT: The production cost of bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) is a major limitation to its widespread use. However, this limitation can be addressed by using alternative low-cost substrates and high-yield strains. Agro-industrial wastederived substrates offer a cost-effective and sustainable solution, but their high organic load often requires additional downstream wastewater treatments. Here, we optimized sta...
The microstructural organization of bacterial nanocellulose is still not completely understood. Although its morphological and mechanical anisotropy is commonly recognized, it remains unclear whether the forces stabilizing the cellulose fiber network are comparable in different planes. In this study, we characterized the microstructure of statically produced BNC according to its horizontal and vertical planes. ...
The interfacial topography of biomaterials has been identified as a major biophysical regulator of cell behavior and function, a role played through the interplay with biochemical cues. In this work, we demonstrate the potential of laser as a versatile technology for the direct fine-tuning of the topography of Bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) with bioinspired topographies and micropatterns on a cell size scale. Tw...
‘Rocha’ pear (Pyrus communis L. cv. Rocha), is a DOP cultivar from the West region of Portugal that is appreciated worldwide. Combined with controlled atmosphere storage, 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) application, an antagonist of ethylene action, has been one of the most applied techniques to extend the storage of ‘Rocha’ pear. However, fruit industry is facing a problem resulting from 1-MCP application: it pre...
A pera ‘Rocha’ (Pyrus communis ‘Rocha’) do Oeste DOP é uma variedade portuguesa. Com o aumento da capacidade produtiva e das exportações, surgiu a necessidade de adotar estratégias de armazenamento que permitam a disponibilidade deste fruto durante cerca de 10 meses. Em combinação com a refrigeração e atmosfera controlada, a aplicação do 1-MCP tem sido uma das técnicas mais usadas para prolongar o armazenamento...
Aims: At the same location, variability among orchards may be high, which is reflected in fruit quality, and it may be associated mainly with growers’ practices. This study aimed to identify physicochemical variability within pears (Pyrus communis L. cv 'Rocha') from three orchards from the same location and under the same climate conditions and correlate it with mineral composition. Methods: Fruits from three ...
