Currently, organizations see environmental and financial performance as an inseparable binomial. Against this backdrop, this study aims to understand the individual impact of the Environmental, Social, and Governance pillars on business performance. To this end, this dissertation is structured into two articles. In the first, a systematic review of the literature on business performance in different clusters is carried out, providing a clear overview of trends and indicating possible directions for future research. In the second article, based on a panel of S&P 500 companies (from 2018 to 2024), the E (environmental), S (social), and G (Governance) scores developed by Bloomberg were collected. The results show that only the E (Environmental) score has a positive impact on corporate performance (ROA), while the S score has a negative impact, and the G score was not statistically relevant. The results obtained are among the few studies to dissociate ESG into its different pillars, so the findings may be useful in terms of directing resources and re-evaluating S and G strategies.

The lack of systematization of hydrological data is a common issue in Brazil. One indication of this is that only 40.6% of municipalities possess a risk management plan, a crucial step in mitigating the impacts of natural disasters. Furthermore, the effects of climate change have intensified the frequency of extreme events, thereby increasing the need for methodologies that more accurately reflect reality, are easily obtainable, and accessible for predicting and mitigating the impacts of such events. In light of this scenario, the present study aimed to map flooded areas resulting from extreme events based on a historical retrospective of flood occurrences using citizen science, and to compare the flood maps generated by different methods. To this end, two Digital Terrain Models (DTMs) were employed: one generated by a drone without RTK and another provided by ANADEM. Additionally, two methods for generating flood maps were evaluated: the HAND Model software and QGIS using the table reclassification tool. Regarding the results obtained, the ANADEM DTM combined with the HAND Model demonstrated superior performance, achieving an AG of 100% and an F1 score of 1.00 for the 2004 event. For the year 2016, this configuration yielded an AG of 85.71% and an F1 score of 0.92. The maps generated using the drone DTM produced less representative results, with AG values of 69.23% and 61.54% for the year 2004, and AG of 85.71% and F1 score of 0.92 for the 2016 event using the HAND and QGIS models, respectively. Despite the limitations associated with the method, the collection of data and flood records through citizen science proved to be an effective alternative for obtaining information in regions with a deficit of systematized data. The integration of this approach with the analysis of historical series enabled the mapping of flood-prone areas and the identification of critical events, a fundamental step in the development of risk management plans. It is concluded that the applied methodology constitutes a viable, accessible, and reproducible alternative for mapping areas susceptible to flooding, thereby contributing to the enhancement of territorial management and the strengthening of public policies focused on adaptation and mitigation in response to natural disasters.

With the rise and popularization of social networks, different parts of the globe are increasingly connected through technology, enabling the accelerated dissemination of information to anyone and everyone, an activity that was previously the domain of journalists, professionals committed to fact-checking before reporting them. With the absence of this commitment to information, there is a growing circulation of misinformation, or fake news, especially in Brazilian municipalities where there is no official media outlet, that is, in the so-called news deserts. Therefore, this work seeks to understand the importance of media literacy in combating this social problem, mainly through local journalism and multimodal reporting, which reach a larger number of readers. To achieve these objectives, the methodology involves a case study of the special report "Sem Notícias" (Without News), produced by Agência Mural, on news deserts and the impacts of misinformation on people's lives, and interviews with a journalist responsible for the news. The study observes that new journalistic textual architectures are important for information to reach a wider audience, and that classroom activities can be considered potential media literacy initiatives, helping to combat misinformation.

Considering the growing relevance of agroforestry systems as a sustainable alternative for agricultural production and environmental conservation, this study aims to analyze biomass production in agroforestry systems as an effective strategy for sustainability. To this end, a qualitative research was conducted, based on a bibliographic review of materials published in the last 10 years, including scientific articles, theses, dissertations, and technical reports. The results revealed that agroforestry systems offer multiple benefits, such as increased soil fertility, water conservation, and erosion reduction, in addition to significantly contributing to biomass generation used as a renewable energy source and agricultural input. Species such as mutambo and capim - Mombaça stood out for their efficiency in biomass production, while practices like the integration of agroforestry reforestation demonstrated high potential for climate change mitigation. These findings suggest that agroforestry systems represent a promising solution to combine agricultural production, environmental conservation, and social benefits, contributing to the resilience of rural communities and to global sustainability goals.

This Undergraduate thesis presents reflections on the playful bodies of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in early childhood education. It stems from an experience initiated during an internship in which the author worked with a child with ASD, here named Alice. The qualitative and bibliographical research sought to answer the research question: How to understand the playful bodies of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder in the context of early childhood education? The general objective of the work is to reflect on the body and play of children with ASD in early childhood education. Specific objectives include: conceptualizing the characteristics of Autism Spectrum Disorder in childhood; understanding the bodily and communicative expressions of these children; reflecting on teacher mediation in light of the singularities of the autistic body; and learning about sensitive pedagogical practices that promote inclusion and integral development. The observations allowed for an understanding of the body as a mediator of experiences and learning, recognizing play as an essential language in the formation of the child. Pedagogical practices based on listening, affection, and respect for individual rhythms promote the inclusion and holistic development of children with ASD, reaffirming the ethical and human commitment of teaching in Early Childhood Education.

Worldwide, thousands of births are premature, often causing irreversible damage to the health of the children and/or their mothers. This project aims to apply statistical techniques, more specifically a supervised machine learning method for binary classification (where the target variable can only assume two values, such as 1 if the baby is premature and 0 otherwise), to identify and quantify maternal and neonatal factors that may be associated with premature births. To this end, the Support Vector Machine (SVM) method will be used and its predictive performance will be compared with traditional parametric models, such as logistic regression, and with a semi-parametric model based on Gaussian processes.

The essay investigates the transversality of the theme of puberty in the work of Sigmund Freud and its intersections with the notion of helplessness, proposing a reading that articulates the development of psychoanalytic theory with the understanding of psychic constitution and the specific forms of suffering characteristic of adolescence. The study begins with the observation that, although Freud did not devote a systematic elaboration to adolescence, puberty appears recurrently at different moments of his theoretical production, assuming relevance for the understanding of the psychic constitution of individuals. The research seeks to reconstruct the trajectory of the theme of puberty in Freud’s work, considering that the conceptual changes surrounding sexuality reflect the importance that puberty acquires within his theoretical elaboration. Initially, it is understood as a physiological moment conducive to the outbreak of neuroses, linked to the increase in sexual excitation. With Freud’s theoretical revision, puberty comes to be conceived as the second stage of sexuality – a phase of re-signification of childhood experiences and of the shaping of adult sexuality. The essay proposes that the analysis of puberty in Freud allows for an understanding of the modes of psychic suffering experienced by young people today, based on its articulation with the notion of helplessness (Hilflosigkeit), which became central in Freud’s work from the 1920s onward. It also highlights how adolescence can be understood as a period of confrontation with this original helplessness, in which the human being is called upon to create new ways of dealing with otherness and with the losses constitutive of the human condition.

Water contamination by phenolic compounds is a major environmental issue due to their high toxicity and low biodegradability. Adsorption is an efficient and low-cost technique for the removal of such pollutants, especially when using alternative materials derived from agro-industrial residues. Therefore, the aim of this work was to evaluate the adsorption performance of phenol using raw and sodium hydroxide- treated sugarcane bagasse ash, investigating structural modifications and their effects on adsorption efficiency. The samples were characterized through iodine number and methylene blue number tests, indicators of microporosity and mesoporosity, respectively, and subjected to adsorption kinetic experiments. The experimental data were fitted to pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order kinetic models.The results showed a significant increase in porosity after alkaline treatment, with iodine and methylene blue numbers nearly doubling. The treated ash exhibited greater efficiency and faster phenol removal, with the pseudo-second-order model providing the best fit, indicating that chemisorption is predominant.It is concluded that NaOH-treated sugarcane bagasse ash is a sustainable and low-cost alternative for treating phenol-contaminated wastewater.

This research aims to investigate the process of learning Spanish as a foreign language (SFL) during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, with the purpose of identifying and understanding the learning strategies adopted by a group of undergraduate students in a Spanish Language and Literature program, as well as examining how learner autonomy is—or is not—developed, a key element for meaningful learning, especially in the context of a foreign language (FL). The theoretical framework that guides this study encompasses the concept of teaching and learning processes (Larsen-Freeman, 2000, apud Paiva, 2014; Karnikowski; Konageski, 2020; Tori, 2010), learning strategies (Oxford, 1990), and learner autonomy (Paiva, 2006, 2014). This investigation is qualitative in nature and was based on the accounts provided by 15 participants during semi-structured interviews. The results of this study show that the development of autonomy in the process of learning SFL is directly related to the learning strategies employed by language and literature students, which manifest themselves in different ways across the contexts experienced during and after the pandemic.

Bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) stands out as one of the most promising biopolymers due to its wide range of applications, spanning from the textile and food sectors to biomedical and tissue engineering fields. Its intrinsic properties, such as high mechanical strength, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and high water-holding capacity, make it a versatile and highly attractive material. However, these same characteristics may pose limitations, especially when the surface properties are not suitable for the intended application. In this context, plasma modification emerges as an effective strategy for tailoring BNC surface properties, enabling both the reduction and enhancement of its wettability, as well as introducing new functionalities such as antimicrobial activity. This review discusses the structure, synthesis parameters, and properties that make BNC a unique material, emphasizing how plasma etching and thin-film deposition techniques can modulate its surface characteristics, thus expanding its potential for applications in various fields, particularly in textiles, biomedical devices, and food packaging.

The increase in industrial production and goods consumption has caused significant environmental impacts, reflected in the growing generation of solid waste and the need to improve management processes. In Brazil, Law No. 12.305/2010, which established the National Solid Waste Policy (PNRS), defines principles and guidelines for the environmentally appropriate disposal of waste, prioritizing reduction, reuse, recycling, and treatment before final disposal. In this context, this study aimed to analyze the Solid Waste Management Plan (PGRS) of an automotive industry and identify aspects for improvement. A challenge related to the management of raw material packaging was identified, and improvement actions were proposed. The study involved steps of characterizing the industry and its production process, identifying and classifying the generated waste, analyzing the current management system, and developing an optimization proposal based on source segregation practices and partnerships focused on recycling and material recovery. The results showed that, although the current management model complies with existing legislation, it can be enhanced through measures that promote conventional recycling and reduce dependence on co-processing. The proposed actions proved to be technically and environmentally feasible, contributing to the reduction of operational costs, environmental impacts, and reinforcing sustainability and circular economy practices within the organization. It was concluded that improving the PGRS, with an emphasis on waste valorization and process efficiency, represents an effective strategy for industrial sustainability, ensuring compliance with PNRS principles and advancing toward a more integrated and responsible environmental management.

This study aims to analyze the World Bank’s strategies for mitigating climate change in the agricultural sector of São Paulo State, using the Watershed Programs I and II as case studies. The objective is to understand whether these programs were effective not only from an economic perspective but also regarding environmental sustainability and the capacity for adaptation to climate change. The research adopts a qualitative and quantitative approach, based on an integrative systematic literature review focusing on studies, theses, and articles that evaluated the outcomes of these programs in different regions of São Paulo. The results showed that the Watershed Program I was essential for strengthening family farming and conserving natural resources, standing out for encouraging the adoption of sustainable practices, environmental restoration, and improvements in rural infrastructure. The Watershed Program II, although advancing in the strengthening of cooperatives and associations and promoting the market integration of family farmers, presented weaknesses in social inclusion and environmental integration. The discontinuity between the two phases generated distrust and reduced the long-term positive impacts of public policies. It is concluded that the Watershed Programs represent significant experiences of sustainable rural development in São Paulo State, but they require greater institutional coordination, administrative continuity, and producer participation to consolidate themselves as effective instruments for climate change mitigation and adaptation.

Linear erosive processes result from various natural factors but are accelerated by anthropogenic factors, such as land use changes. The spatial modeling of erosive processes is widely used in rural contexts to predict losses and prevent damages, and in urban contexts to support territorial planning and management. Currently, the most widespread modeling techniques focus on rural areas, primarily addressing sheet erosion. Studies encompassing urban and peri-urban areas, with a focus on linear erosion, are scarce. In both cases, when incorporated into studies, the land use and land cover factor often fails to consider temporal dynamics of change and is analyzed without accounting for the contributing area to the phenomenon. Acknowledging this gap, the main objective of this thesis was to investigate the effect of land cover transitions within the hydrological contributing area on the triggering of linear erosion in urban and peri-urban areas. To achieve this aim, the research was structured into three articles. Laying the groundwork for this thesis's hypothesis, the first article demonstrated that the variability of the phenomenon is predominantly explained by anthropogenic variables (land use and land cover), which had a greater impact than natural factors. Through a literature review, the second article identified that the sampling of negative instances and the delimitation of their areas of influence emerge as critical methodological aspects for the robustness of machine learning models applied to the analysis of erosive processes. The third article investigated the patterns of land cover change with the greatest influence on the occurrence of erosion. For this purpose, a comparative analysis was conducted, incorporating land use transitions over a twenty-year interval (1990-2010) and adopting two distinct spatial approaches: (i) a 100 m buffer and (ii) the hydrological contributing area of each feature. Decision tree models revealed that the most important transitions for classification were those related to agricultural uses that remained stable or converted to non-vegetated areas. The comparison between approaches demonstrated that the hydrological contributing area was more effective in identifying positive cases of erosion, with the "preserved forest areas" variable being the most relevant in its model. However, the buffer strategy provided a better overall predictive balance between the classes. In summary, the results have the potential to aid in the understanding and prediction of linear erosive processes in urban areas, contributing to the technical-scientific field and to society as a whole by assisting in the prevention of environmental, social, and economic damages.

This work articulates the personal and professional trajectory of the author, a nursing technician with over fifteen years of experience in emergency services, in dialogue with her training in occupational therapy. It is a theoretical-reflective essay that seeks to analyze the psychosocial impacts of this frontline work and its repercussions on the mental health of workers, highlighting the tensions between lived experience and theoretical foundations. The analysis begins with experiences in emergency care, articulated with frameworks from public health and occupational therapy, to discuss the contradictions between the guidelines of public health policies, especially the National Policy for Emergency Care (PNAU), and the concrete reality of shifts. Issues such as work overload, precarious working conditions, and emotional distress among professionals are highlighted. In this context, occupational therapy is presented as a field of action capable of welcoming, understanding, and intervening in psychological suffering, proposing comprehensive care strategies based on qualified listening, the reconstruction of meaning, and the valuing of daily life as a therapeutic space. Thus, this study seeks to answer the following question: how can the author's professional experiences in an emergency service, marked by overload and psychological suffering, be analyzed in light of occupational therapy principles to propose reflections on the comprehensive care of healthcare workers in these services? It concludes with the urgent need for public policies that ensure not only the population's access to health services, but also the protection and well-being of those who sustain care daily, contributing to more humanized and sustainable practices in the field of emergency care.

The present study aims to analyze how the Service of Coexistence and Strengthening of Bonds for Older Persons (SCFV) and the intersectoral dimensions that characterize it are incorporated into the National Policies that precede its typification. It is a documentary analysis, carried out through the review of three public policies, National Policy for the Elderly, National Health Policy for the Elderly and National Policy for Social Assistance and, complementarily, a description of the National Typification of Social Assistance Services. A systematic search procedure for keywords and a content analysis matrix based on Minayao were developed, where thematic categorization, coding and synthesis were carried out. The results showed that the SCFV was not appointed before 2009, but the implicit presence of elements that already announced its need in both policies. It showed that Brazilian policies recognize intersectoriality, but lack operational mechanisms that fully implement it, leaving critical gaps in execution. The need for funding in training and operational instruments is pointed out.

Given the contemporary challenges related to food security and sustainability, Non Conventional Edible Plants (PANC) are emerging as strategic alternatives to expand nutritional diversity and promote the responsible use of natural resources. This study aimed to develop and evaluate extraction processes using GRAS solvents (Generally Recognized as Safe) for the recovery of phenolic compounds from purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.), a PANC of high nutritional and functional value. The research was based on a literature review and analysis of recent scientific studies addressing green extraction, bioactive compounds and agro-industrial sustainability. In addition, extraction by maceration and ultrasonic bath was performed using ethanol, water and their mixtures (25, 50 and 75%). The extracts were characterized with respect to total phenolic content. The experimental condition that showed the best performance for the recovery of total phenolics was the use of a 75% hydroalcoholic solvent, yielding 22.45 mg GAE/g of sample. However, ultrasonic-assisted extraction with 75% ethanol for 30 minutes resulted in a slightly higher yield. It was observed that the use of GRAS solvents, such as ethanol and hydroalcoholic mixtures, is an efficient and environmentally safe alternative capable of preserving bioactive molecules while reducing environmental impacts. The results indicate that purslane presents high phenolic content, establishing itself as a promising source for the formulation of functional foods, cosmetics and natural pharmaceuticals. It is concluded that sustainable extraction processes represent an essential tool for the valorization of PANC and the strengthening of the bioeconomy, and further experimental studies are recommended to optimize operational parameters and validate the extraction efficiency obtained.

En las últimas décadas, se observa un notable crecimiento en la producción de novelas históricas, cuyas características se distancian de aquellas que marcaron el género inaugurado por Walter Scott en el siglo XIX. Estas obras, con frecuencia, revisitan el pasado con una mirada crítica, cuestionando la objetividad histórica y problematizando las formas tradicionales de representación. Ante este panorama, diversos investigadores, en Brasil y en el exterior, se han dedicado a indagar si estas narrativas contemporáneas derivan formalmente del modelo decimonónico o si se configuran como un nuevo género literario. Sin embargo, una parte significativa de esta producción, las novelas históricas destinadas al público infantil y juvenil, sigue siendo poco explorada por los estudios académicos, a pesar de su potencial para articular conocimiento histórico, formación lectora y reflexión crítica sobre el objeto literario. En este contexto, este Trabajo de Fin de Grado (TFG) tiene como objetivo analizar la novela O Poeta do Exílio, de Marisa Lajolo, investigando de qué manera su construcción narrativa dialoga con las prácticas de la ficción histórica contemporánea, especialmente en lo que se refiere a las aproximaciones a la metaficción historiográfica, tal como la concibe Linda Hutcheon. Para complementar el análisis, se considera también la biografía A Vida de Gonçalves Dias, de Lúcia Miguel Pereira, con el propósito de examinar las diferencias estructurales entre ambas obras y evidenciar cómo la narrativa ficcional se distingue de la narrativa histórica, resaltando sus especificidades. Se busca, así, comprender de qué manera la novela moviliza procedimientos de reescritura y problematización de la Historia, tensionando las fronteras entre hecho y ficción, memoria e imaginación. Partiendo de esta reflexión, se pretende contribuir a la ampliación del debate sobre la literatura infantil y juvenil de carácter histórico, evidenciando su relevancia estética, cultural y formativa en el contexto de la producción literaria brasileña contemporánea, así como su papel en la construcción de una conciencia histórica crítica entre los jóvenes lectores.

After the 1990s, with the implementation of policies known as inclusive policies, there was an increase in the number of students with disabilities enrolling in Brazilian higher education. This demand justifies the need to examine and study the training of university professors, which, in Brazil, occurs at the postgraduate level. Thus, the general objective of this study is to investigate the pedagogical training of Brazilian university professors to work with students with disabilities, identifying its limitations and contributions to the academic trajectory of these students in higher education. Its specific objectives are: 1. To map academic publications on the pedagogical training of university professors from an inclusive perspective. 2. To identify the guidelines present in these publications for working with students with disabilities. 3. To analyze the contributions and limitations pointed out by the literature in relation to university teacher training. This is a systematic review of the literature, using the digital platforms CAPES Periodicals and SciELO and the UFSCar Institutional Repository, without a time frame, following eight basic steps of searching, storing, and selecting academic publications on the proposed theme. Four articles and one master's thesis, published between 2010 and 2021, were selected. The analyses showed that university teacher training in Brazil still focuses on scientific and technical qualifications, with little attention to pedagogical and inclusive dimensions. The absence of specific legislation to standardize training for working with special education students was identified, as well as weaknesses in initial and postgraduate training in this field. As limitations, the studies point to the lack of teacher preparation, insufficient use of accessible resources, and low participation in continuing education. As contributions, we highlight the structured offer of continuing education in many universities and the growth in the number of special education students in higher education, which has driven the debate and the need for more inclusive practices. It is concluded that it is necessary to strengthen institutional policies that guarantee continuing education, technical and pedagogical support, and practices based on equity and the appreciation of diversity, with a view to consolidating higher education that provides quality services to this population.

El presente trabajo se sitúa en la confluencia de la antropología de la alimentación, campo que comprende la alimentación como un fenómeno complejo, capaz de revelar estructuras sociales, sistemas simbólicos y trayectorias del individuo. Más que atender a una necesidad fisiológica, el acto de alimentarse manifiesta una red de significados culturales, afectivos e históricos que moldean y son moldeados por las experiencias humanas. La alimentación lleva, así, marcas de la memoria, la ancestralidad y la vida cotidiana, funcionando como una lente privilegiada para comprender dinámicas sociales e identidades colectivas. Para investigar tales dimensiones, este trabajo empleó la metodología de bola de nieve en el territorio del Sudoeste Paulista, una estrategia que permitió alcanzar interlocutores con vivencias diversas, ampliando la percepción sobre prácticas y hábitos alimentarios en la región. Las entrevistas presenciales, realizadas con apertura dialógica y acompañadas de observaciones y anotaciones sistemáticas, hicieron posible mapear distinciones entre los conceptos de “comida” y “alimento”, así como captar experiencias, afectos, memorias y significados atribuidos al acto de comer. A partir de este conjunto de relatos, surgió un panorama rico y plural, revelador de la profundidad que la alimentación asume en la construcción social local. La alimentación, entendida como un entrelazamiento entre cultura, religión, política, cotidianidad y afecto, se presenta aquí como un elemento fundamental para la comprensión de las identidades alimentarias del Sudoeste Paulista. Las prácticas culinarias y los saberes transmitidos entre generaciones asumen un papel que sobrepasa la función nutricional, configurándose como rituales, formas de pertenencia e instrumentos de reafirmación cultural. La comida aparece, así, como símbolo y lenguaje, en tanto expresa valores, organiza relaciones y delimita vínculos comunitarios y espirituales. Al mismo tiempo, esos mismos hábitos están en constante transformación, tensionados por las relaciones entre individuo y sociedad, por los distintos estatus sociales y por las experiencias afectivas que componen a cada sujeto. El estudio también analizó la presencia creciente de la globalización y sus desdoblamientos sobre las prácticas alimentarias de la región. Se observó que la expansión de productos industrializados, la estandarización de preferencias alimentarias y la demanda por soluciones rápidas introducen desafíos significativos al mantenimiento de la diversidad culinaria local. La facilidad de acceso a alimentos listos y la difusión de modelos alimentarios globalizados oprimen tradiciones ancestrales y modos de preparación transmitidos en el ámbito familiar y comunitario. En síntesis, la alimentación se revela como un vasto tapiz compuesto por tradiciones, memorias, saberes y prácticas que definen y reflejan a las comunidades del Sudoeste Paulista. Al explorar estas capas, este estudio destaca la potencia de la antropología de la alimentación para iluminar procesos sociales más amplios, reafirmando la comida como un elemento indispensable para comprender los modos de vivir, sentir y significar el mundo.

Olive oil production in Brazil, although a relatively recent activity, is highly promising and underscores the need for studies that encompass the entire production chain, from cultivation and processing to quality control of marketed products. In this context, the present study aimed to evaluate selected quality parameters and the sensory acceptance of olive oils produced in Brazil, in comparison with a commercial imported olive oil. The oils were characterized in terms of free fatty acid content, peroxide value, specific extinction, oxidation resistance, and chlorophyll content. The same samples were also subjected to a sensory acceptance test evaluating flavor, aroma, color, and overall acceptance. In addition, this work sought to conduct a survey through an electronic questionnaire to characterize the national olive oil production chain. The results showed that all samples met the legal requirements. Brazilian olive oils exhibited higher chlorophyll content, reflected in their greener coloration, and greater resistance to oxidation at room temperature. On the other hand, the imported olive oil demonstrated higher sensory acceptance in terms of flavor and overall acceptance. Regarding production chain insights, producers most frequently reported the Arbequina, Koroneike, and Arbosana cultivars as the primary raw materials used for olive oil production in Brazil. They also indicated that their 2022 production volume was generally between 500 and 6,000 L, despite having production capacity exceeding current output. The producers expressed optimism about the Brazilian olive oil market, while also highlighting the main challenges faced by the sector. Additionally, the survey enabled the identification of the producers’ principal demands concerning research needs and improvements in the field. Overall, the findings provide an upto-date perspective on the Brazilian olive oil production chain and demonstrate that, although national olive oils comply with regulatory quality standards, they were less accepted sensorially when compared to the imported product.
