Apparent energy digestibility of glycerol from biodiesel production for Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus, Linnaeus 1758).

摘要

The global energy matrix is currently under discussion due to environmental issues and because a major source of energy (oil) come from a nonrenewable resource. In relation to petroleum-based fuels, one of the alternatives is biofuels such as ethanol and biodiesel. In this context, Brazil stands out as a pioneer in commercial use, the use of hydrated alcohol since the late 1970s of last century in automotive vehicles and currently by the inclusion of biodiesel in diesel oil derived from petroleum.
