The Colombian Amazon is a megadiverse region with high potential for commercial use in the pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic industries, constantly expanding looking new alternatives from natural resources; unfortunately, few characterization reports of its profitable non-timber species Colombia have been conducted. This work aimed to perform comprehensive analysis traditionally used species: Carapa guianensis (Andiroba), Euterpe precatoria (Asai), Mauritia flexuosa (Miriti), Astrocaryum...
Abstract Aim To investigate the role of alien plants in mutualistic plant–hummingbird networks, assessing importance species traits, floral abundance and insularity on plant integration. Location Mainland insular Americas. Methods We used species‐level network indices to assess 21 quantitative networks where occur. then evaluated whether including previous adaptations bird pollination, predict these roles. Additionally, for a subset which data were available, we tested this relates Finally,...
Malassezia yeasts are lipid dependent and part of the human animal skin microbiome. However, they also associated with a variety dermatological conditions even cause systemic infections. How these can live as commensals on switch to pathogenic stage has long been matter debate. Lipids important cellular molecules, understanding metabolism composition species is crucial comprehending their biology host–microbe interaction. Here, we investigated strains grown stationary phase in complex Dixon...
Oils and fats are important raw materials in food products, animal feed, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals among others. The market today is dominated by oils derive, d from African palm, soybean, oilseed fats. Colombia’s Amazon region has endemic palms such as Euterpe precatoria (açai), Oenocarpus bataua (patawa), Mauritia flexuosa (buriti) which grow abundance produce a large amount of ethereal extract. However, these have never been used for any economic purpose, little known about their...
Differential visitation of pollinators due to divergent floral traits can lead reproductive isolation via assortative pollen flow, which may ultimately be a driving force in plant speciation, particularly areas overlap. We evaluate the effects pollinator behavioral responses variation intraspecific color and nectar rewards, on between two hybrid flower morphs (fuchsia blue) their parental species Penstemon roseus P. gentianoides with mixed-pollination system. show that (bumblebees...
The green revolution has resulted in many new opportunities and challenges for the chemical industry. Specifically, there is an increasing tendency using natural ingredients product formulation, and, as a result, increase complexity of formulation. A way to address this through multiscale strategy that allows deeper insights into small large scale phenomena affect physical properties interest. In article, authors have provided abbreviated review computational experimental methods currently...
The Copoazú is a Theobroma species of Amazonian origin, and its derived products have high content lipids valuable for both the cosmetic food industries. composition butter extracted from seeds can vary depending on postharvest process diverse extraction techniques employed. In this study, processed with without seed fermentation was analyzed using two techniques: expeller pressing hydraulic pressing. Parameters such as lipid profile, quality indexes, melting point, phytosterols glyceric...
ISHS International Conference on Postharvest and Quality Management of Horticultural Products Interest for Tropical Regions PROLONGING POSTHARVEST QUALITY OF CAMU (MYRCIARIA DUBIA H.B.K.) AS THE FIRST STEP IN COMMERCIAL CHAIN
Organogels have importance for topical applications because they can be used to deliver drugs in a controlled and prolonged fashion. These are materials consisting of three-dimensional network organic molecules dispersed solvent. Recent studies demonstrated that the solvent could replaced by oils from non-conventional biologic sources. There is diversity not-explored species Amazon promising sources vegetable with composition. This study developed an organogel buriti (Mauritia flexuosa L.f)...
Colombian amazon has a wide biologic diversity, with silvester and cultured species which use potential abundance identified them as an important bioactive compounds source. That represents opportunity to innovate develop processes technologies in different engineering fields (chemical, mechanical food engineering). This paper presents experiences when the problem of sustainable biodiversity is tackled from amazonic region.

Cocona is a wild berry from the Amazonian river region with interesting properties for human wellness and nutrition. However, it also suffers serious post-harvest losses as occurs in other fruit Solanaceae family. This particularly true during low temperature storage result of chilling injury associated decay. In this study, three ecotypes cocona ('Ovoid', 'Topiro' ‘Small Round’) were tested their physiological behaviour sensitivity to at 3, 12 or 20°C. At 20°C ecotype showed climacteric...

Bioactive compound are extracted directly from plants, animals or microorganisms through physical, chemical enzymatic processes, acceptable for cleaning process. Amazonic bioresources abundant and contain a great amount of bioactive compounds, such as antioxidants, polyphenols many others. extracts Acai (Eutherpe precatoria), Copoazu (Theobroma grandiflorum) Cocona (Solanum sessiliflorum) were characterized in total antioxidant capacity well ascorbic, oxalic, citric, succinic malic acid...
Copoazú is an Amazonia tropical fruit with outstanding sensory characteristics. Bromatological composition showed that the pulp has a high content of carbohydrates, fiber, protein, potassium and magnesium low sodium content. These characteristics made copoazú´s interesting food matrix to innovate inclusion bioactive compounds in order obtain functional drinks. Nevertheless, also contains starch fraction some other sugars could be involved deterioration reactions such non-enzimatic browning...
