A student from Brasília named Josmar developed a natural compound called " biofilter " in a YouTube video, made from cassava starch and turmeric, which helps keep fruits conserved for longer periods, reducing potential food waste in the country. The compound forms a natural film on the fruit, acting as a barrier against fungi and bacteria, allowing the food to last up to ten days longer than unprotected fruits. Josmar created this project during his biology graduation at the Federal Institute of Brasília (IFPB), where he observed food waste at home. With inspiration from his professor, they developed a cost-effective and viable solution. Brazil, according to the United Nations for Food and Agriculture, is one of the ten countries that waste the most food, with around 30% of all produced food ending up in the trash. Biofilter's advantages include a low production cost, with one liter of the solution costing around five reais and covering more than 250 bananas, and its complete naturalness, making it suitable for organic foods. Josmar's project won the award for the best project in the fourth week of scientific production at IFBF and earned him an internship at the University of São Paulo.
