Azara dentata Ruiz & Pav. is a small Chilean native plant from Patagonia, producer of white reddish berries. For the first time, proximal analysis fruits, phenolic fingerprinting, antioxidant activity, and enzymatic inhibition relaxation effects in rat aorta induced by ethanolic extract these fruits were investigated. The composition mineral (Ca: 2434 ± 40 mg/kg; Mg: 702 13 Fe: 117.1 1.6 Zn: 16.1 0.4 mg/kg) heavy metal (As: 121 11 µg/kg; Cd: 152 5 Hg: 7.7 1.3 Pb 294 4 µg/kg) contents...

Edible Insects (EIs) are an alternative source of bioactive compounds such as proteins or fatty acids and micronutrients vitamins minerals, thus showing potential to replace traditional foodstuffs in economical environmentally friendly way. Nonetheless, EIs can accumulate hazardous chemicals mycotoxins heavy metals. The aim the present study is determine metal content raw insect samples those resulting products obtained after supercritical fluid extraction (SFE). Insect included Acheta...

There is a great demand for the recovery of bioactive compounds from by-products and side streams in food cosmetic industries. More sustainable extraction methodologies are being chosen, such as pulsed electric field (PEF) assisted extraction, supercritical fluid (SFE), pressurized liquid (PLE), ultrasound-assisted extraction. Endemic fruits represent little-explored source biomolecules that can become potential candidates study new drugs support use native species functional foods or...
