In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the nanoencapsulation of wide variety bioactive compounds by extracting emulsions using Supercritical Fluid Extraction Emulsions (SFEE) process for development nutraceutical products and functional foods. This work includes information both fundamentals stages SFEE process. It also describes different equipment configurations used, such as spray, bubble column, or countercurrent columns operating batch process, semi-continuous, and/or...
The food industry has developed a vegan dressing-type mayonnaise due to new consumer demands. aim of this study was compare three commercial types with dressing, measuring their physicochemical properties. Four dressing samples were analyzed: vegan, homemade recipe, creamy, and light. following properties measured: water activity, color, droplet size, rheological properties, structural analysis, oxidative stability. A high color difference observed between the other presence chickpea...
The purpose of the study was to evaluate production lignin-modifying enzyme extracts and delignified biomass from agro-industrial wastes using white rot fungi (Inonotus sp. Sp2, Stereum hirsutum Ru-104, Bjerkandera BOS55, Pleurotus eryngii IJFM 169 Phanerochaete chrysosporium BKM-F-1767). These were screened based on their adaptability colonization ability different substrates, as well by Laccase, Manganese peroxidase, Lignin peroxidase enzymatic production. Native strains Sp2 S. Ru-104)...
The study evaluated the technical feasibility of directly using mixture inedible fractions vegetables collected in a wholesale market, for recovery (poly)-phenolic extract with antioxidant capacity. First, characterization leaves and stems broccoli, celery, carrots, beetroots, cauliflower cabbage was carried out. Subsequently, compounds from these analyzed, fractional factorial design tailored screening process conditions. Finally, freeze-dried powdered product obtained previously...
