Abstract Fermentation has been used for preserving foods centuries prior to the invention of pasteurization and sterilization, every culture a variety fermented products as part its diet. This paper reviews diversity beverages from Latin America; these are produced by traditional methods that exploit mixed cultures various nonpathogenic microorganisms. Fermented covered in this review include maize, cassava, palm sap, sugar cane juice, cocoa, milk. We explore history some Colombian...

The conventional treatments used to remove dyes produced as a result of different industrial activities are not completely effective. At times, some toxic by-products generated, affecting aquatic ecosystems. In this article, an efficient use microorganisms is presented biodegradation technique that safe environmental alternative for the benefit life. A strain yeast Galactomyces geotrichum KL20A isolated from Kumis (a Colombian natural fermented milk) was Methylene Blue (MB) bioremoval. Two...
The tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is one of the many essential vegetables around world due to its nutritive content and attractive flavor. However, short shelf-life postharvest losses affect marketing. In this study, effects chitosan-Ruta graveolens (CS + RGEO) oil coatings on quality Tomato var. “chonto” stored at low temperature (4 °C) for 12 days are reported. film-forming dispersions (FFD) were eco-friendly synthesized presented viscosities (between 0.126 0.029 Pa s), small particle...
Maize and its derived fermented products, as with other cereals, are fundamental for human nutrition in many countries of the world. Mixed cultures, principally constituted by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) yeasts, responsible maize fermentation, thus increasing nutritional value extending products’ shelf-life. Other microorganisms involved, such molds, acetic bacteria, Bacillus spp. can contribute to final product characteristics. This review gives an overview impact activities this complex...
Drug resistance in antifungal therapy, a problem unknown until few years ago, is increasingly assuming importance especially immunosuppressed patients and receiving chemotherapy radiotherapy. In the past years, use of essential oils as an approach to improve effectiveness agents reduce levels has been proposed. Our research aimed evaluate activity Colombian rue, Ruta graveolens, oil (REO) against clinical strains Candida albicans, parapsilopsis, glabrata, tropicalis. Data obtained showed...
Mycotoxins are the primary contaminants in food that have a significant impact on global safety and security. Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) has demonstrated potential reducing mycotoxins among innovative technologies. This study aimed to assess effectiveness of surface dielectric barrier discharge (SDBD) CAP system aflatoxins B1 (AFB1), B2 (AFB2), G1 (AFG1), G2 (AFG2), ochratoxin A (OTA). The distinctive feature device here used was ability operate at two different powers, resulting reactive...
Since to our knowledge no data are available in the literature regarding influence of green coffee type and origin on ochratoxin A (OTA) content, determinations were carried out order assess level OTA contamination samples different provenience. total 162 beans from various countries (84 Africa, 60 America, 18 Asia) analyzed for OTA. Both amount variability levels tested as a function The results showed that 106 overall positive OTA, with concentration ranging 0 48 μg/kg (ppb). In...
In the present study, essential oils (EOs) of some officinal plants from Abruzzo territory (Italy) were evaluated for their antimicrobial and antioxidant activities volatile fraction chemical characterization. The EOs extracted Rosmarinus officinalis, Origanum vulgare, Salvia Mentha piperita, Allium sativum, Foeniculum Satureja montana, Thymus vulgaris Coriandrum sativum seeds. activity was screened against thirteen Gram-positive Gram-negative strains to determine Minimal Inhibitory...
In this study, biofilm formation of 64 Pseudomonas fluorescens strains isolated from milk, dairy products and plants was compared. The were grown on Tryptic Soy Broth supplemented with 0.2% glucose, polystyrene microplates at 10 30°C for 48 h. general, 57/64 P. formed biofilm, although great variability both tested temperatures. Moreover, our results evidenced that the biofilm-forming ability temperature- strain-dependent. Interestingly, several isolates to form biofilms associated low...
The worldwide cocoa bean shell (CBS) generation is estimated at around 900,000 tons. In their composition, this coproduct showed several bioactive compounds like methylxanthines or polyphenolic compounds. Thus, the aim of work was to investigate effects different particle sizes on chemical physico-chemical, content, and antioxidant properties flours obtained from (Theobroma cacao L.) shells. CBS with had high content dietary fiber (61.18–65.58 g/100 g). profile identified seven being...
