“UFLA de Portas Aberta” is an exhibition of professions that has been held annually since 2014. It is aimed at students enrolled in public and private high schools and aims to present the undergraduate courses of the University, as well as their careers and operation Institution.
NEFER contributed to the event, which took place on May 22, 2019, presenting the research themes developed by the group and some products resulting from them. Materials inherent to research on fermentation in microbiology (culture media and some microbial species) were presented.
Different fermented products such as coffee, chocolate, Kombucha and Kefir were exposed, as well as the importance of using fermenting species in the food industry and other sectors. In addition, visitors had the opportunity to taste products such as chocolate made from fermented cocoa, Greek yogurt, Kefir soda, coffee brigadeiro. These fermented foods were all made by the Nefer members. High school students were able to view the microorganisms under a microscope, thereby learning some of their morphological differences and characteristics. Finally, NEFER provided a moment of photo enjoyment with visitors with the “Insta Gram” demo panel.
