The objective is to elaborate a food product developed from Pacu carcass subjected to different processing techniques that may contain healthy components and that is environmentally correct. Fish stocks were developed from three different products, here named as in natura carcass, smoked carcass, and carcass residual biomass. The chemical composition, colorimetric and microbiological profiles, and sensory analysis were evaluated in these stocks. The sensory analysis was based on the evaluation of 66 trained tasters concerning sensory attributes and consumers’ acceptance.

Coriander and arugula are fast-growing, short-cycle herbaceous leafy vegetables. Organic fertilizers increase plant yields by providing nutrients, improving soil physical and biological properties.The objective of this work was to carry out a practical experience of agroecology at Dom José Tupinambá da Frota State College, Sobral, Ceará, Brazil. The study was conducted in a garden in the courtyard of the College. Coriander cultivation was carried out from August 24 to September 19, 2018, in three beds prepared with manual hoe. The total area of each flowerbed (5 m x 0.8 m) is 4 m2.

Biodiesel-derived glycerin is a potential biotechnological substrate, but its bioconversion depends on finding resistant microbial strains, once this effluent can be inhibitory for growth. A total of 58 microbial isolates from 26 samples of soil, rotten leaves, and other fallen plant materials or contaminated foods, survived an enrichment selection performed at 25% of biodiesel-derived glycerin. Aspergillus sp. T7.1, Penicillium sp. T2.1 and T6.2 grew in submerged processes adjusted for citric acid production, at a final concentration of 100 g .
