Honey is a functional food used worldwide and recognized for its multiple health benefits. In the present study, physicochemical antioxidant properties of honey produced by two species bees (Melipona eburnea Apis mellifera) in seasons were evaluated. addition, antimicrobial activity against three bacterial strains was studied. The quality analyzed LDA (linear discriminant analysis) showed four clusters mediated interaction, bee species, collection season resulting from multivariate function...

Carrots are among the most crucial and globally preferred vegetables, widely recognized for their importance as a source of phytonutrients, including phenolic compounds, carotenoids, polyacetylenes, ascorbic acid. However, its production phase incurs substantial losses, estimated at 30 %; these discarded carrots typically find application in animal feed, composting material or organic waste. Therefore, this study aims to develop methodological framework focusing on phytochemical...

Antioxidant components of avocado seed can be used to prevent browning caused by polyphenol oxidase (PPO). This research evaluated the inhibitory effect extract obtained through solid state fermentation on PPO and assessed anti-browning performance this avocado, banana, apple pulp in comparison ascorbic acid L-Cysteine. The Km Vmax kinetic parameters PPO, using catechol as substrate, were 0.1627 g/L 0.6577 Abs/min, respectively. fermented completely inhibited enzyme at 60% v/v, likewise,...

Capsicum species are widely cultivated yet their full industrial potential remains underexplored due to limited characterization of physicochemical and phytochemical descriptors. In this study, we comprehensively evaluated 284 accessions address gap assess suitability for applications across food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic sectors. Key quality descriptors—such as capsaicinoids, soluble solids, carotenoids, color index, pH, texture—were measured statistical clustering methods, including...

Solar drying using greenhouse dryers is a viable method from the technical, economic, and environmental perspectives, allowing of agricultural products for conservation purposes in different regions world. In Colombia, aromatic plants such as mint (Mentha spicata) usually done directly open fields, which exposes product to contamination loss quality. Therefore, objective this research was use three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD-3D) model previously successfully validated...

Avocado is currently an important crop in Colombia, given its growth planted area and the increase exports. The destination market of Colombian avocado mainly international, quality outstanding. However, physical chemical characteristics associated with avocados produced are not well known Colombia. aim this study was to evaluate physical, nutritional parameters Hass eight localities department Antioquia based on descriptive statistics. Additionally, related through a multivariate analysis....

Areas cultivated with Hass avocado crops in Colombia have growth rapidly. One of the major limitations is wilt complex disease (AWC) caused by biotic and abiotic factors which increased under El Niño southern oscillation ENSO phenomenon (El Niño, La Niña). The objective this study was to evaluate different strategies for mitigating adverse effects associated AWC crops. We evaluated native materials, mulches, parameters production seedlings planting practices field. response variables tested...

Purpose: Golden berry (Physalis peruviana L.) is an exotic fruit exported from Colombia to different countries around the world. A review of literature tends demonstrate a hypoglycaemic effect with improvement in insulin sensitivity after oral ingestion extracts animal models. However, little known about their potential effects humans, and very mechanisms involved. This study aimed at identifying discriminant metabolites acute chronic intake golden berry. Method: An untargeted metabolomics...

Avocado is one of the most desirable fruits worldwide because its flavor and nutritional contributions. Currently, Colombia a very dynamic country where cultivated area volumes exported have been increasing year after year. This situation poses challenge for country, which must produce with excellent parameters ripening, external internal quality. study used series elements associated quality in avocado application tropical conditions, were determined based on reports from world scientific...

In recent years, the avocado has been one of most dynamic fruits in world market. particular, cv. Hass stands out due to its productivity, nutritional quality, and acceptance. Under tropical conditions, weather elements, especially air temperature, precipitation, affect productivity quality Hass. However, environments, many relationships between phenological aspects this cultivar are still unknown. Given situation, our aim was identify variation degree association phenology thermal time (TT)...

Machine learning (ML) and its multiple applications have comparative advantages for improving the interpretation of knowledge on different agricultural processes. However, there are challenges that impede proper usage, as can be seen in phenotypic characterizations germplasm banks. The objective this research was to test optimize analysis methods based ML prioritization selection morphological descriptors Rubus spp. 55 were evaluated 26 genotypes weight each one ability discriminating...

Lactobacilli are used in food because of their beneficial effect on human health and biopreservative activity matured meat products. The objective this work was to study the growth kinetics Lactobacillus plantarum ATCC 8014 by submerged fermentation at laboratory bench scales, using a culture medium based bovine blood plasma (BBP) with hydrolyzed proteins, evaluate maturational effects sensory properties conferred obtained biomass product (pepperoni). At scale, it found that maximum viable...

Spearmint (Mentha spicata L.) has been widely studied for its diversity of compounds product generation. However, studies describing the chemical and biological characteristics commercial spearmint materials from different origins are scarce. For this reason, research aimed to bioprospecting three origins: Colombia (Col), Mexico (Mex), Egypt (Eg). We performed a activity analysis, such as FRAP, DPPH, ABTS, inhibition potential S. pyogenes, K. pneumoniae, E. coli, P. aeuroginosa, aureus, S...

With the purpose to define appropriate doses in production of mint cultivation, this research was conducted three locations (Gibraltar, Arboleda and Aguacatal) municipality Jardín, Antioquia. The soils these localities are andisols, with medium contents organic matter, low interchangeable bases, phosphorus boron, characteristics fertility. For research, Mentha spicata L. (mint) seeded at a distance 0.3x0.3 m, an experimental design randomized complete blocks four repetitions, five increasing...
