The mango fruit is of great economic value worldwide and nutritional importance. Its functional effects are due to numerous important nutrients bioactive compounds. In this review, the benefits (pulp, peel, seed) for human nutrition health detailed. first part review presents nutrient phytochemical content fruit, second addresses its effects. very diverse components in can be classified into several groups including macronutrients such as carbohydrates (sugars, pectin, cellulose), proteins,...
Chitosan films (CF) with carvacrol (CAR) [0.5%, 1.0% and 1.5% v/v] were prepared by the emulsion method. The retained CAR, water solubility, vapor permeability (WVP), optical, mechanical properties, antibacterial antioxidant capacity of analyzed. results indicate that retention CAR in CF was ≈50%. incorporation to decreased WVP, yellowing transparency tensile strength, but increased stiffness. Microcapsules diameters 2 7 µm found on surface CF-CAR. CF-CAR highest concentrations showed...
Abstract: Mucilage of Opuntia ficus‐indica (OFI) was extracted and characterized by its composition molecular weight distribution. film‐forming dispersions were prepared under different pHs (3, 4, 5.6, 7, 8) calcium concentration (0% 30% CaCl 2 , with respect to mucilage's weight), their particle size determined. films without (MFCa MF, respectively) prepared. The effect pH on mucilage evaluated determining thickness, color, water vapor permeability (WVP), tensile strength (TS), percentage...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant and antimicrobial properties extracts different fractions two tomato plant cultivars. stems, roots, leaves, whole-plant were evaluated. Tomatine tomatidine identified by HPLC-DAD. leaf from varieties showed highest flavonoids, chlorophyll, carotenoids, total phenolics contents activity determined DPPH, ABTS, ORAC. A positive correlation observed between capacities phenolic, flavonoid, chlorophyll contents. Pitenza variety inhibited...
A liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) method was developed to simultaneously identify and quantify carotenoids tocopherols in the fruit of seven mango cultivars grown Mexico. Fruit maturity characterized objectively, were isolated by solvent extraction analyzed HPLC coupled a C30 stationary phase diode array, fluorescence, mass (time-of-flight) detectors. All had similar carotenoid pattern, which all-trans-beta-carotene dibutyrates all-trans-violaxanthin 9-cis-violaxanthin most...
Chitosan films (CF) with cinnamon bark oil (CO) incorporated at 0% (control), 0.25%, 0.5%, and 1.0% v/v were prepared by an emulsion method. The characterized based on their physical properties (solubility, water vapor permeability, optical property, microstructure) antioxidant (DPPH, ABTS, its protective effects human erythrocytes). results showed that the incorporation of 0.5 CO into CF significantly decreased solubility to 22% control (<mml:math...
Fish consumption has increased in recent years. However, fish meat is highly perishable, which demonstrates the need for technologies to preserve its quality. Edible coatings (EC) might provide an alternative extend shelf life of fish. The goal this study was evaluate effect EC chitosan (C) combination with carvacrol (CAR) on physical and microbiological changes tilapia fillets. Fillets were submerged two minutes different treatments (T1: control; T2: C 2%; T3: 2% + 0.125% CAR; T 4: 0.25%...
β-carotene (β-C) is a hydrophobic compound, easily degradable by light and oxygen, with low solubility limiting its applications. β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) can encapsulate β-C, protecting it from degradation maintaining bioactivity. Therefore, this research aimed to characterize determine the antioxidant erythroprotective activity of β-C/β-CD inclusion complexes. The co-precipitation technique was used elaborate in 40:60 ratio, obtaining high yield (94.10%), an entrapment efficiency 82.47%,...
Avocado ( Persea americana Mill.) is currently among the most demanded fruit crops worldwide due to its nutritional and health benefits. Despite abundance of reports that have chemically nutritionally characterized fruit, information about characterization fruit’s phytochemicals at specific maturation ripening stages still scarce. This research was aimed identify quantify several in ‘Hass’ avocado different considering their dry matter values (∼20% over 38%), corresponding 10.99% 26.23% oil...
Microalgae have emerged as a sustainable and efficient source of protein, offering promising alternative to conventional animal plant-based proteins. Species such Arthrospira platensis Chlorella vulgaris contain protein levels ranging from 50% 70% their dry weight, along with well-balanced amino acid profile rich in essential acids lysine leucine. Their cultivation avoids competition for arable land, aligning global sustainability goals. However, the extraction proteins is challenged by...
Pulp from "slightly ripe", "moderately or "fully ripe" mangoes was digested in vitro the absence and presence of processed chicken as a source exogenous fat protein to examine impact stage ripening mango on micellarization during digestion intestinal cell uptake (i.e., bioaccessibility) beta-carotene. The quantity beta-carotene transferred micelle fraction simulated significantly increased fruit ripened when mixed with before digestion. Qualitative quantitative changes that occur pectin pulp...
