A Moringa oleifera Lam é uma espécie vegetal originada do Nordeste da Índia, com diversas aplicações na alimentação animal e humana, bem como no tratamento de água. Pelo fato de se poder obter até 38% de óleo de alta qualidade a partir da semente da mesma, esta se torna uma fonte oleaginosa promissora para a produção de biodiesel, em uma época onde é crescente a necessidade de novas alternativas ao diesel de origem fóssil. Neste trabalho, fornecemos um panorama geral do estado da arte em relação a este tema.
Brazil is a country with a huge diversity of native fruits, and one of them is jabuticaba. The jabuticaba peel is the main part of the fruit due to the high level of bioactive compounds besides fibers and minerals. Therefore, it is necessary to use this residue that can be reused for several purposes, such as extraction of anthocyanins for production of natural food coloring and phenolics compounds which can be used to produce extracts with antioxidants properties. Drying technology is applied with the objective of increasing the shelf life of the jabuticaba skin which has a high level of water. In the present work, an evaluation of mathematical drying models through performance indicators which were accuracy factor (Af), bias factor (Bf), root mean square error (RMSE) and standard error of prediction (%SEP) was done for studying the drying kinetic of the jabuticaba pell. The drying process was conducted in a convective tray dryer at 43 ⁰C for 352 min with final moisture content of 3.64% in dry basis. According to the results, the two terms model and the Midilli model were the ones that better fitted the experimental data, and the
