Fruit waste has multiple uses in the food industry, such as in the production of flour from pineapple, pitahaya or passion fruit peels. In turn, it will be proven that these foods offer a valuable nutritional contribution to the body. In recent times, there has been notable progress in the food industry, with a growing focus on creating innovative and sustainable products. In this context, the research focused on the preparation of cookies where unconventional ingredients are used, such as passion fruit, which are characterized by their richness in bioactive and antioxidant compounds. Likewise, their optimal formulation was found using 95 % flour. wheat, 3 % shell flour and 2 % hydrolyzed anchovy protein concentrate. A particularly interesting aspect of the study was the incorporation of hydrolyzed anchovy protein concentrate, a rich source of protein and omega-3. In addition, a physical...

The impact of mining activity does not only generate royalties to the government but also contamination by heavy metals such as lead which is one of the main products that cause concern for public health, as they can cause various abnormalities such as headache, irritability, ataxia, seizures, cerebral edema, anemia, renal, hepatic and reproductive failure. In 2018, inhabitants from Huacho (Ancash Region, Perú) complained about lead poisoning. The objective of this research is to determine lead concentrations in soil and water and their correlation with the presence of this metal in the blood of Huacho inhabitants. This research studied the blood results from the 63 tested inhabitants since 71,4% of them had high concentrations of lead in their blood. Samples from drinking and crop irrigation water, and agricultural soil were taken, was analyzed by inductively coupled plasma optical emi...

Heavy metals such as lead are important because they can cause damage to health and have a negative impact on soil and water, which are sources of lead exposure for humans; the purpose of this research is to review papers that confirm the presence of lead in soil and water, as well as in fruits and vegetables, and to analyze the effect it can have on people. To this end, works from the National Digital Repository of Science, Technology and Innovation and scientific journals have been reviewed.  It has been demonstrated that soils can be contaminated by mining, by being located near factories, metallurgical industries, agriculture and by contamination resulting from vehicular traffic. Water can also be contaminated by both legal and illegal mining. The grasses, vegetables and fruits consumed daily can bioaccumulate lead.  According to the WHO, only 5 µg/dL can cause harm to hum...

El impacto de la actividad minera no solo genera grandes regalías al Estado, sino también contaminación por metales pesados como el plomo que es uno de los principales productos que causan preocupación para la salud pública, ya que pueden causar diversas anomalías como cefalea, irritabilidad, ataxia, convulsiones, edema cerebral, anemia, insuficiencia renal, hepática y reproductiva. En el año 2018 hubo una denuncia de intoxicación por plomo en habitantes del centro poblado Huacho, distrito de Quillo-Ancash, donde el 71.4% de las personas evaluadas resultó que tenían cantidades considerables de plomo en su sangre, constituyéndose el caso, en el objetivo del presente trabajo, que fue determinar la concentración de plomo en agua y suelo, y su correlación con la presencia de este metal en la sangre de sus pobladores. Se realizó un estudio transversal, se recolectaron muestras ...
