Passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) is a tropical fruit appreciated for its attractiveness and nutritional value. The yellow variety (Passiflora edulis f. flavicarpa) and the purple variety (Passiflora edulis f. edulis) are the best-known species, both rich in carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and bioactive compounds. Despite their potential, passion fruit by-products, such as seeds and peel, are underutilized, despite being sources of phenolic compounds and carotenoids. The leaves are considered insignificant, yet they contain nutrients and medicinal effects beneficial to health. Nevertheless, these by-products have diverse uses and applications. In this sense, this work seeks to document research on passion fruit and its by-products, emphasizing their composition and possible uses in agroindustrial products. In addition to propose pest biocontrol strategies to preserve the quality of the c...

El enfoque de este proyecto de investigación se enfoca en la elaboración de galletas. sustituyendo parcialmente la harina de trigo por harinas de cáscara de maracuyá y quinua germinada. Se buscó diseñar un nuevo producto para el mercado utilizando harinas alternativas, las cuales son ricas en compuestos bioactivos. Se tuvieron en cuenta los rangos de sustitución de la harina de cáscara de maracuyá, desde el 2% hasta el 8%, y de harina de quinua germinada, desde el 5% hasta el 25%. Se empleó un Diseño Compuesto Central Rotacional 22 , generando 11 formulaciones. La evaluación, mostró que las propiedades tecnológicas el volumen específico fue significativamente afectado por los niveles más altos de harinas de quinua germinada y cáscara de maracuyá. En cuanto a la colorimetría, se evaluaron los parámetros de luminosidad, cromaticidad y ángulo de tonalidad, demostrando q...

This study analyzes the potential of 12 seeds from the Peruvian region as by-products of fruit processing, presenting them as a sustainable alternative for waste reduction and the valorization of bioactive compounds. It highlights their chemical composition and the role they can play in recovering bioactive compounds with antioxidant, antimicrobial, and functional properties. The study explores the possibility of utilizing fruit by-products in various industrial sectors, such as food, pharmaceutical, and nutraceutical industries, thereby contributing to the circular economy and a more sustainable management of natural resources. The review emphasizes the importance of addressing challenges such as the presence of antinutrients and contaminants, as well as evaluating processing methods that can reduce these compounds, highlighting the need to ensure their safety for consumption and their ...
