Autoria: FREIRE JUNIOR, M.; SOARES, A. G. Conteúdo: World food loss and waste can cause about USD 750 billion a year in damage. Post-harvest losses estimates in developing countries vary greatly, reaching up to 50% or more. According to data from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), 54% of losses and waste occur at the initial stage of production – during post-harvest handling and storage, and 46% during processing, distribution, and consumption. Consumers often dispose of food after buying it because they verify that it does not meet their quality requirements, especially regarding appearance and taste. This is why there must be more research on reducing food loss and waste in the world so as to increase food supply, improve production costs, and reduce environmental impacts. 2020-01-01T00:00:00Z https://www.infoteca.cnptia.embrapa.br/infoteca/handle/doc/1128682 Título: Parâmetros de encapsulação de pectinase comercial em alginato de cálcio e seu efeito na atividade catalítica.

Autoria: FOGACA, F. H. dos S.; FURTADO, A. A. L.; SILVA, C. A. da; TAVARES-DIAS, M.; KEMENES, A.; ROUTLEDGE, E. A. B. Conteúdo: Oceans cover three quarters of the planet surface, connect populations through ports and markets; are, thus, an important natural and cultural heritage for humanity. Marine environments offer important environmental services: they provide approximately half of the oxygen we breathe, absorb more than a quarter of the carbon dioxide (CO2) we produce, play an important role in water cycle and climate system, and are an essential source of biodiversity. All this contributes to marine and continental ecosystem sustainability, to economic development, to poverty eradication, to food security, to transportation and maritime traffic, to decent work opportunities and means of survival (United Nations, 2017). 2020-01-01T00:00:00Z
