The leaves of Psidium guajava L. are an agro-industrial by-product with outstanding content polyphenolic compounds; however, there many factors which can affect the phytochemical profile when valuing this type plant material, such as temperatures and extraction times involving in methods applied. In context, study analyzed impact different (Soxhlet, maceration ultrasound-assisted extraction) on (FTIR UPLC-MS) antioxidant activity (ABTS, FRAP Folin–Ciocalteu) guava leaf extracts. A yield...
Butanol is considered a superior liquid fuel that can replace gasoline in internal combustion engines. It produced by acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentation using various species of solventogenic clostridia. Performance ABE process severely limited mostly high cost substrate, substrate inhibition and low solvent tolerance; leading to product concentrations, productivity, yield, difficulty controlling culture metabolism. In order decrease the per exploit waste generated dairy industry,...
The goal of this research is to find a more effective treatment for tequila vinasses (TVs) with potential industrial application in order comply the Mexican environmental regulations. TVs are characterized by their high content solids, values biochemical oxygen demand (BODs), chemical (COD), low pH and intense colour; thus, disposal untreated severely impacts environment. Physicochemical biological treatments, combination both, were probed on remediation TVs. use alginate physicochemical...
La sustitución de los combustibles denominados fósiles o tradicionales, derivados del petróleo, por otros, origen biológico, representa uno grandes retos que enfrenta la humanidad actualmente. Una las alternativas más factibles para reemplazar el diesel petróleo es producción biodiesel. Éste un combustible renovable derivado aceites vegetales (comestibles no comestibles; nuevos usados) y grasas animales posee propiedades similares a petróleo. Además, se ha encontrado con uso biodiesel logran...
This study analyzed the addition of huitlacoche paste (HP) in baked tortilla chips (TC), evaluating its effects on functional, physicochemical and structural changes during processing. Two blue corn grains were nixtamalized, stone milled, air dried milled to obtain flour; commercial flour (TM1) TC (TM2) used as controls. Additions 0, 3, 6 9% HP formulated; masas prepared at 55% moisture content (MC), precooked an industrial machine. crispiness was influenced by grain characteristics...
Most of the reported bioprocesses carried out by methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris have been performed at laboratory scale using high power inputs and pure oxygen, such conditions are not feasible for industrial large-scale processes. In this study, volumetric mass transfer (kLa) gassed input (Pg/V) were evaluated within values attainable in production as scale-up criteria recombinant dextranase MutSP. strain. Cultures oxygen limited when supply was to 2 kW m-3. Specific growth rate, then...
Nejayote is the residual water from nixtamalization process characterized by an alkaline pH (pH > 10) as well high concentrations of dissolved and suspendedorganic matter (COD 10 200 mg/L). As for above mentioned, nejayote considered within more pollutants liquid effluents discharged into different bodies. In this work, effectiveness sodium alginate chitosan to reduce was tested. The application involved adsorption gelation, which trapped suspended material, use implied...
Food trends show interest in functional foods, which provide health and nutrition. This research is focused on developing a Mexican-style panela cheese that incorporates the probiotics Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis, Lactobacillus delbrueckii bulgaricus NCFB 2772, Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG 4% inulin as prebiotic. Yield, content of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) CFU total coliforms were evaluated. Scanning Electron Microscopy was performed to evaluate incorporation matrix....
Currently, a global health crisis is being caused by microbial resistance, in which Acinetobacter baumannii plays crucial role, considered the highest-priority microorganism World Health Organization (WHO) for discovering new antibiotics. As result, phytochemicals have emerged as potential alternative to combat resistant strains, since they can exert antimicrobial activity through various mechanisms and, at same time, represent more natural and safe option. This study analyzes effects of...
