Ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) is widely used; however, the efficiency of depends on raw materials. Therefore, optimization UAE must be investigated for each type plant material. By-products from soursop fruit have not been studied as a source bioactive compounds. In this work, conditions (extraction time (5, 10, and 15 min), pulse cycle (0.4, 0.7, 1 s), sonication amplitude (40%, 70%, 100%)) phenolic compounds (soluble, hydrolyzable, condensed tannins, total polyphenols) by-products...

Abstract Pumpkin pulp is the main waste generated by pumpkin seed growers. This agro‐industrial a valuable source of bioactive compounds, especially carotenoids (β‐carotene, α‐carotene, and lutein), which exhibit broad spectrum health‐promoting effects. In this study, vegetable oils (canola, corn, soybean oil) were used as green solvent alternatives to conventional organic solvents for carotenoid extraction from dried (DPP) waste. The highest yield (CEY) was obtained with canola oil, at 1:10...

Husk tomato (Physalis ixocarpa Brot. var. Rendidora) waste was evaluated as a source of specialized pectin, and pectin extracted from this characterized physicochemically. Fruit blanched for 10 or 15 min in 0.1 N HCl to 25 min. Extracted subjected physicochemical analysis. For all extraction conditions, the percentage anhydrogalacturonic acid exceeded 60%, indicating that husk good pectin. The degree esterification molecules 63% 91%. amount decreased with increasing time. apparent viscosity...

A mixture of cornmeal dough and cooked bean flour (BF) was prepared at different ratios (50/50, 60/40, 70/30 w/w), processed to chips. Viscosity profile, temperature gelatinization enthalpy, texture, protein content, in vitro digestibility were measured. Pasting tended be lower when the concentration lower. Maximum viscosity increased significantly both samples (dough chips) BF In general, remains constant, while heating enthalpy higher with concentration. The addition correlated greater...

Chocolate coatings are semisolid suspensions of fine particles from sugar, cocoa, non fat milk solids in an oily phase. Processing steps chocolate include mixing, refining, conching, tempering, molding, and packing. Tempering is a directed pre-crystallization that consists shearing mass at controlled temperatures. The effect mixing tempering process on the particle size distribution rheological behavior dark were evaluated. Each sample was melted (65 °C, 15 min) tempered following three...

Traditional nixtamalization (TN) and assisted ultrasound (ASN) were carried out on maize kernel (Zea mays) used for pozole elaboration, evaluating some physicochemical, structural quality characteristics. It was found that the cooking time popping (CTP) varied from 92 to 99 min in TN samples 72 90 ASN samples. The percentage of popped grains expansion volume did not show significant differences between treatments. In general, it observed more luminous color a lower b* value, which indicate...

High hydrostatic pressure (HPP) has been reported as an alternative quarantine process in fruits infested by Ceratitis capitata Wiedemann, Rhagoletis indifferens Curran and Cydia pomonella (L.). In Mexico other Latin-American countries, the Mexican fruit fly Anastrepha ludens Loew is one of most important insects infesting mangoes, citrus, fruits. The present study aimed to determine effect level time on survival eggs larvae fly. Eggs were pressurized at 25, 50, 75, 100, or 150 MPa for 0, 5,...
