Abstract The aim of this work was to characterize the mucilage extracted from six species O puntia . studied were as follows: atropes , tomentosa hyptiacantha streptacantha y joconostle and ficus‐indica first step find best extraction conditions obtain an unaltered chemical structure mucilage. mucilages characterized using high‐performance liquid chromatography F ourier transform infrared spectroscopy techniques. optimal employed were: ratio cladodes : ethanol solution at 50% 1:1 (w/v),...
Guava leaf (Psidium guajava L.) extracts are used in both traditional medicine and the pharmaceutical industry. The antioxidant compounds P. leaves can have positive effects including anti-inflammatory, anti-hyperglycemic, hepatoprotective, analgesic, anti-cancer effects, as well protecting against cardiovascular diseases. In present study, phenolic vitro capacity were measured obtained with polar non-polar solvents from of two varieties guava, Calvillo Siglo XXI Hidrozac. quantity total...
Abstract The combination of ultrasound and mild temperatures to process fruits vegetables juices is a novel approach that showing promising results for microbial inactivation preservation bioactive compounds sensory attributes. This study centers on investigating the Escherichia coli (ATCC 11755) in carrot juice as result combined effect (24 kHz frequency, 120 μm, 400 W) with temperature (50, 54, 58 °C) processing time (0 10 min). In addition, possible changes physicochemical properties...
The (CTS- g -GMA)-X hydrogels showed higher viability in keratinocytes and nerve cells than the control (glass) pure chitosan. No diseases were detected human cells, as protein markers no abnormalities.
Abstract In this work the importance of maize pericarp and germ in relation to overall quality masa tortillas was studied. Alkaline‐cooking originated alterations outer layers grain. Its components were hydrated fraction assumed a gummy sticky texture. During liming process, some from germ, tip cap fractions released ‘maize hull gums’, increasing contents xylose, galactose D ‐glucuronic acid. The presence gums insolubilised that remained after traditional washing nixtamal improved viscosity,...
Summary An ecological nixtamalisation process (EP) for making whole corn flour tortillas was compared with the traditional (TP). One of problems TP is high level solid losses. The aim to evaluate composition these In EP, dry matter losses nejayote were from 1.2% 1.4%, while in 3.2%. Nejayote showed a pH 11.9, whereas EP close neutral. pericarp retained use calcium salts, lime destroyed it almost completely. Losses total dietary fibre solids about 41.2% an average 17.4% EP. Most soluble...
Abstract: The use of biosorbents to remove metals and metalloids from contaminated water systems has gained great usage in various parts the world. objective current study was test lemon peels as for As (V). Lemon were chemically characterized arsenic contact experiments performed determine adsorption capacity using different empirical models. model that fit experimental data Lagergren with a correlation coefficient R = 0.8841. results show able retain 474.8 μg (V)/g biosorbent. Practical...
Laccase amperometric biosensors were developed to detect the catechol compound. The laccase enzyme (LAC) immobilization was performed on nanostructures of (a) titania (TiO2); (b) titania/Nafion (TiO2/NAF) (both immobilized by sol-gel method) and a third nanostructure, which consisted single biosensor composite Nafion denoted as NAF/LAC. deposited graphite electrode used avoid “cracking” matrix. TiO2 particle size an average 66 nm. FTIR spectroscopy vibration modes different composites...
Summary Corn tortillas are produced using the traditional nixtamalisation process (TP). Nevertheless, one of greatest problems that tortilla industry faces is high level losses solids. The aim this research was to evaluate nutritional value a whole‐grain tortilla, an ecological (EP). In EP corn cooked at 90 °C with 1.8% (w/w) calcium sulphate. grains were steeped, washed and grounded obtain masa, which baked produce tortillas. Also, prepared TP following same steps as those used in EP,...
The objective of this work was to determine the concentration total phenols, flavonoids, hydroxycinnamic acids, and proanthocyanidins present in crude extracts Quercus laurina, Q. crassifolia, scytophylla bark. They were extracted by ethanol (90%) maceration hot water. antioxidant capacity determined ability capture OH•, O2•−, ROO•, H2O2, NO•, HClO. water extract crassifolia chosen be concentrated purified due its higher extraction yield (20.04%), phenol compounds (747 mg gallic acid...
ABSTRACT: Food preferences by human beings are based on sensory attributes such as texture, flavor, color, and appearance that depend mainly the interactions between minor major components of food. Some functional properties directly proteins, oil water absorptions, foam emulsion activities, viscosity. The objective this work was to obtain evaluate flaxseed protein concentrate. Flaxseed ground, defatted, sieved eliminate hull fiber. Surface response methodology with 5 central points 4 axial...
ABSTRACT Three samples were selected representing bread, soft, and durum wheat. Uniaxial compression stress relaxation tests performed on wheat kernels. Force‐deformation curves from intact grain typically exhibited at least two points of inflection (PI) ≈0.1 0.2 mm displacement. The first PI is related to the mechanical properties all bran layers. second (0.2 mm) seems be endosperm boundary near aleurone layer. These structures had higher degree elasticity (DE) compared inner (0.5–0.6 mm)....
The objective of this study was to microencapsulate Saccharomyces boulardii using the emulsion technique. To yeast, alginate sodium blended with inulin and mucilage from Opuntiaficus-indica used as a coating material. textural properties gels formed by encapsulating materials in vitro viability yeast strain simulated conditions were studied. Textural profile analyses revealed differences (p < 0.05) hardness because produced stronger gels, whereas incorporation other hydrocolloids decreased...
The nixtamalization process used for tortilla production entails extended processing time and generates pollutant effluents. Ohmic heating (OH) is an emerging technology that uses alternating electric current rapid uniform food mitigates effluent concerns. However, gaps exist in nutrient bioavailability studies. In this work, we assessed OH's impact on nutritional value, protein, calcium using a rat model. Twenty-five male Wistar rats were fed one of four diets 21 days: raw corn (RC) as...
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the main cause of chronic worldwide. The objective this study was to develop cookies added with flour from Opuntia atropes cladodes and joconostle fruits evaluate hypolipidemic-hepatoprotective effect in Wistar rats. Rodents were fed for 12 weeks a hyperlipidic diet induce obesity NAFLD. Diets based on evaluated biochemical parameters blood (F1, 15% O. flour; F2, fruit F3, 1:1 mixture flours derived fruits). that diets F1, F3 showed decrease Lee...
Abstract Tamales were prepared with 3 nixtamalization processes (traditional, ecological, and classic) evaluated for chemical composition, starch properties, glycemic index. Resistant (RS) in tamales increased 1.6 to 3.7 times compared raw maize. This increment was due the retrogradation (RS3) amylose–lipid complexes (RS5) formation. elaborated classic ecological exhibited highest total, soluble insoluble dietary fiber content, RS content lower vivo index traditional process.
