The Industry 4.0 technologies are in ascension in the worldwide market, in Brazil still needs to be explored. It was made a Systematic Review to measure the application of IoT in the food industry. Some platforms were used to select works, applying the string “IoT AND Raspberry Pi AND Cheese”. It was possible to evidence the majority of IoT applications in the food industry, focus on the control of temperature, humidity, color, traceability of productive chain, and enlargement of sustainability in the food industry. The most difficulties faced in the conventional application of IoT are related to the high cost of proprietary arquitectures, qualified manpower and obstacles of data security implementation. There are alternatives that aim to reduce the costs of implementation, like the utilization of Raspberry Pi. The food industry presents potential application of technologies that aim for the quality of products, being an excellent opportunity.

The search for sustainable and health-promoting food ingredients has positioned microalgae as promising candidates for the development of functional products. Haematococcus pluvialis, a unicellular green microalga, is the richest natural source of astaxanthin, a carotenoid with outstanding antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective properties. In addition to astaxanthin, H. pluvialis provides high-value proteins, essential fatty acids, polysaccharides, and vitamins, which expand its potential applications in the food sector. This review compiles current knowledge on the biology and physiology of H. pluvialis, with emphasis on cultivation strategies, environmental stress factors, and biotechnological tools designed to enhance bioactive compound production. Advances in extraction and purification methods are also discussed, contrasting conventional solvent-based approaches with emerging green technologies. The integration of these strategies with biomass valorization highlights opportunities for improving economic feasibility and sustainability. Applications of H. pluvialis in the food industry include its use as a functional ingredient, natural colorant, antioxidant, and stabilizer in bakery products, beverages, meat analogs, and emulsified systems. Evidence from in vitro, in vivo, and clinical studies reinforces its safety and effectiveness. Looking ahead, industrial perspectives point to the adoption of omics-based tools, metabolic engineering, and circular economy approaches as drivers to overcome current barriers of cost, stability, and regulation, opening new avenues for large-scale applications in food systems.

Edible flowers (PANC), are increasingly used in the preparation of meals, as they have beneficial potential for human health. The nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus) is a flower recognized for its antioxidant properties and high content of phenolic compounds. This study aimed to evaluate the profile of bioactive compounds, nutritional in human health, such as carotenoids, phenolic compounds, flavonoids and anthocyanins, in edible flowers of the species (Tropaeolum majus) through the application of descriptive review methodology. Through this descriptive review, we sought to collect data on the effects of bioactive compounds from Capuchin on the human body. The search for published bibliographies took place in the Scielo, Academic Google and World Wide Science databases between the years 2004 to 2020 using the descriptors "Capuchinha", "bioactive compounds", phenolic compounds", "anthocyanins" and "carotenoids", " Tropaeolum majus”, “edible flowers”, in total there were 27 articles in Portuguese and English. After reading and evaluation, 20 articles were selected. greater use in food due to its functional or sensory characteristics.

This article describes a solution for monitoring, automation, and control in industrial production. The presented approach combines Internet of Things (IoT), cloud storage, and sensing technologies applied to a cheese manufacturing tank. The sensors attached to the cheese manufacturing tank enable readings of temperature, pH, and level, contributing to process control, streamlining decision-making, and consequently improving product quality. The system can be accessed via the internet, allowing remote access and control, where users select the type of cheese to be produced, and based on the algorithm, the tank autonomously performs the process. The results demonstrate that through the digitization process, it is possible to monitor and act upon the tank, either manually or through autonomous programming, using a multi-technology interface of open-source circuits and code, providing a low investment compared to proprietary solutions in the industrial market. In this present work, in addition to controlling and digitizing equipment data that directly affects profitability, the benefits of the implemented system extend to increased productivity, remote access, cloud storage, and the possibility of adapting industrial equipment (retrofitting) from different scenario segments, which were configured within a framework.

Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks (ZIFs) surgiram como novos materiais com inúmeras aplicações. Especificamente, o ZIF-8 tem sido investigado para aplicações em processos de adsorção, tecnologia de membranas, separação de gases, catálise, entrega de medicamentos e sensores devido as suas propriedades como área superficial, estabilidade química e resistência térmica. Neste trabalho, nanopartículas de ZIF-8 foram sintetizadas através de uma rota alternativa e caracterizadas via difração de raios-X (DRX), análise BET (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller) e medidas de Microscopia Eletrônica de Varredura (MEV). A análise de XRD confirmou a síntese bem-sucedida do ZIF-8, como evidenciado pela presença de picos semelhantes aos observados na amostra comercial. As micrografias revelaram que a morfologia corresponde a esperada para ZIF-8 flower. Esta abordagem visa superar as limitações de custo e facilitar a investigação das propriedades e aplicações potenciais da ZIF-8 em diversos campos.
