Inovação em embalagens para exportar e comercializar Mel Biológico

Este é o momento certo para se ser atrevido, apostar nos excessos, desejar máximo, e criar o verdadeiramente inesperado. O presente projeto visa a criação e apresentação de uma embalagem de mel português, para comercializar na Europa, em especial na Alemanha, embalagem esta que se pretende inovadora e atrativa. Para este projeto foi realizada uma parceria com uma produtora de mel, Montesino, empresa localizada em Bragança, Portugal. Mais do que um estudo sobre a apicultura e os hábitos de consumo de mel, a presente tese visa documentar todo o processo de desenvolvimento e criação de uma embalagem de mel biológico, tendo em vista a sua comercialização na Alemanha. A embalagem aqui proposta é composta por quatro acondicionamentos individuais de mel biológico. Por forma a atingir o objetivo a que me proponho neste projeto, foram conjugados dados referentes à apicultura em Portugal com os dados referentes aos consumos de mel na Europa, com maior incidência nos consumos na Alemanha. O mel não é apenas um líquido delicioso que estimula o paladar e abre o apetite. O seu sabor e aroma únicos e distintivos, criaram ao longo dos anos as mais variadas formas de apresentação. Esta investigação pretende, mais concretamente, observar a influência que o design tem na criação de uma “camada de valor” sobre um produto, de modo a que este, através do design da embalagem tenha impacto no mercado. Pretende-se compreender até que ponto a embalagem/carcaça/exterior influência o valor de um produto com o mesmo conteúdo. Trata-se de um produto biológico de alta qualidade, ao qual deve corresponder um preço adequado, que não coincidente com o custo para o produtor. A perspetiva deste projeto é o de desenvolver uma embalagem exterior com os seus frascos individuais de mel e a respetiva rotulagem, com o objetivo de corresponder às necessidades do mercado, como um produto pioneiro e que leve a comercialização de mel biológico português a um diferente nível de qualidade e valor. Este trabalho contribuirá, ou humildemente tentará contribuir, para aumentar a exportação de mel biológico para mercados estrangeiros, mais especificamente na Alemanha, desenvolvido em parceria com um produtor de mel e, assim, apoiando a economia local.

Avaliação da influência de surfactantes químico e biológico na hidrólise enzimática de casca de coco verde após pré-tratamento ácido/alcalino e com peróxido de hidrogênio alcalino

In Brazil many types of bioproducts and agroindustrial waste are generated currently, such as cacashew apple bagasse and coconut husk, for example. The final disposal of these wastes causes serious environmental issues. In this sense, waste lignocellulosic content, as the shell of the coconut is a renewable and abundant raw material in which its use has an increased interest mainly for the 2nd generation ethanol production. The hydrolysis of cellulose to reducing sugars such as glucose and xylose is catalysed by a group of enzymes called cellulases. However, the main bottleneck in the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose is the significant deactivation of the enzyme that shows irreversible adsorption mechanism leading to reduction of the cellulose adsorption onto cellulose. Studies have shown that the use of surfactants can modify the surface property of the cellulose therefore minimizing the irreversible binding. The main objective of the present study was to evaluate the influence of chemical and biological surfactants during the hydrolysis of coconut husk which was subjected to two pre-treatment in order to improve the accessibility of the enzymes to the cellulose, removing this way, part of the lignin and hemicellulose present in the structure of the material. The pre-treatments applied to coconut bagasse were: Acid/Alkaline using 0.6M H2SO4 followed by 1M NaOH, and the one with Alkaline Hydrogen Peroxide at a concentration of 7.35% (v/v) and pH 11.5. Both the material no treatment and pretreated were characterized using analysis of diffraction X-ray (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and methods established by NREL. The influence of both surfactants, chemical and biological, was used at concentrations below the critical micelle concentration (CMC), and the concentrations equal to the CMC. The application of pre-treatment with coconut residue was efficient for the conversion to glucose, as well as for the production of total reducing sugars, it was possible to observe that the pretreatment fragmented the structure as well as disordered the fibers. Regarding XRD analysis, a significant increase in crystallinity index was observed for pretreated bagasse acid/alkali (51.1%) compared to the no treatment (31.7%), while that for that treated with PHA, the crystallinity index was slightly lower, around 29%. In terms of total reducing sugars it was not possible to observe a significant difference between the hydrolysis carried out without the use of surfactant compared to the addition of Triton and rhamnolipid. However, by observing the conversions achieved during the hydrolysis, it was noted that the best conversion was using the rhamnolipíd for the husk pretreated with acid/alkali, reaching a value of 33%, whereas using Triton the higher conversion was 23.8%. The coconut husk is a residue which can present a high potential to the 2nd generation ethanol production, being the rhamonolipid a very efficient biosurfactant for use as an adjuvant in the enzymatic process in order to act on the material structure reducing its recalcitrance and therefore improving the conditions of access for enzymes to the substrate increasing thus the conversion of cellulose to glucose.
