Abstract The nutritional composition of the edible seaweeds Codium fragile , Gracilaria chilensis and Macrocystis pyrifera was determined, including amino acid fatty contents along with tocol carotenoid contents. results indicated that three algae C. G. M. showed a high range protein (13.7–10.8%), (1879.6–1417.7 mg/100 g dry algae) low content in lipids (0.7–15.0%). most abundant acids were linolenic, oleic, linoleic acid. δ‐Tocopherol α‐tocopherol (677.8 453.5 µg/g lipid, respectively)...
Abstract For many marine species, locations of key foraging areas are not well defined. We used satellite telemetry and switching state‐space modeling ( SSM ) to identify distinct by Kemp's ridley turtles Lepidochelys kempii tagged after nesting during 1998–2011 at Padre Island National Seashore, Texas, USA PAIS ; N = 22), Rancho Nuevo, Tamaulipas, Mexico RN 9). Overall, traveled a mean distance 793.1 km (±347.8 SD) sites, where 24 31 showed area fidelity (FAF) over time 22 in , 2 Mexico)....
'Hass' avocado is the most important variety cultivated worldwide. In Chile alone, there are nearly 40,000 ha, distributed between IV and VI regions, with production areas located close to both coast hills. Given increasing competitiveness of fruit export markets, quality organoleptic attributes a key issue in consumer acceptance. The avocados related many attributes, especially oil content firmness (among others), these influenced by storage, growing environmental conditions, as well stage...
For many marine species, locations of migratory pathways are not well defined. We used satellite telemetry and switching state-space modeling (SSM) to define the corridor by Kemp's ridley turtles (Lepidochelys kempii) in Gulf Mexico. The were tagged after nesting at Padre Island National Seashore, Texas, USA from 1997 2014 (PAIS; n = 80); Rancho Nuevo, Tamaulipas, Mexico 2010 2011 (RN; 14); Tecolutla, Veracruz, 2012 2013 (VC; 13); Shores, Alabama, during (GS; 1). lies nearshore waters with...
Pumpkin seeds are often discarded due to limited awareness of their benefits, yet they yield an oil rich in monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, and saturated fatty acids, with notable levels oleic acid (>30 %) linoleic (>50 %). The also contains nutritionally valuable unsaponifiable components, qualifying it as a functional food. Culinary ingredients like merkén clove, used various dishes, offer additional properties. This study examines the effect heat treatment on profile oxidative stability...
The addition of natural compounds as additives in fish products is increasingly important to prevent or delay their deterioration. Nowadays, most the used on seafood are synthetic, and safety being questioned. aim this research was compare effects different seaweeds extracts lipid sensory quality parameters canned Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar ) muscle. For purpose, four were tested: cochayuyo, sea lettuce, ulte, red luche covering liquids against a standard, without seaweed extract. each...
A biorefinery process was developed for a freeze-dried pomace of calafate berries (Berberis microphylla). The consisted extraction lipophilic components with supercritical CO2 (scCO2) and subsequent the residue pressurized mixture ethanol/water (1:1 v/v). scCO2 extracted oil from pomace, while liquid generated crude extract rich in phenols fiber, proteins minerals. Response surface analysis suggested optimal conditions 60 °C, 358.5 bar 144.6 min to obtain lipid yield 11.15% (d.w.). dark...
This study examines the extraction of oil from cold-press rapeseed cake using Supercritical CO2(SC-CO2). The effects pressure (20, 30, and 40 MPa), temperature (40, 50, 60 ºC), time (60, 90, 120 min) on yield composition (tocopherols carotenoids) were studied response surface design. results indicated that influenced most oil, followed by time. Extraction had no effect composition. did not affect tocopherol concentration to a great extent, whereas in its carotenoid concentration. A...
Stevia ( rebaudiana Bert.) is a relevant source of natural phenolic compounds with antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. The aim this study was to evaluate the potential protective effect crude stevia extracts on quality shelf‐life salmon Salmo salar ) paste. For this, polyphenol obtained by water extraction, ethanol/water extraction supercritical CO 2 ethanol were evaluated in preserving Salmon paste stored under refrigerated conditions (5°C) for 21 days, being primary, secondary, total...
Salmon paste contains nutritious components such as essential fatty acids (EPA, DHA), vitamin E and astaxanthin, which can be protected with the addition of red algae extracts. Phenolic extracts were prepared an ethanol: water mixture (1:1) from seaweeds Gracilaria chilensis, Gelidium chilense, Iridaea larga, Gigartina chamissoi, skottsbergii radula, obtained Pacific Ocean. Most had a high content protein (>7.2%), fiber (>55%) β-glucans (>4.9%), all expressed on dry weight basis....
