There are many native fruits in Peru containing essential nutrients for health and that have not been fully studied. The objective of this research was to determine the physicochemical, nutritional and morphological characteristics of five varieties of native fruits from the central Andean region and the northern Peruvian jungle: goldenberry (Physalis peruviana), sanky (Corryocactus brevistylus), cocona (Solanum sessiliflorum), yellow pitahaya (Selenicereus megalanthus) and camu camu (Myrciaria dubia). The fruits were washed, peeled, pulped, fleshed, and lyophilized, to determine, using standardized analytical methods, the nutrient content, such as vitamin C, fiber, soluble solids. The goldenberry, sanky and camu camu fruits presented the highest vitamin C content (43.0, 57.1 and 2,780 mg per 100g of fresh weight, respectively), while cocona and pitahaya had 4.54 and 8.0 mg per 100g of f...

Entre las estrategias actuales que han mostrado efectividad en el manejo del sobrepeso y obesidad en población adulta, e incluso en presencia de comorbilidades se encuentra el uso de sustitutos de comida; en algunos casos, con alto contenido proteico y bajo índice glucémico, los que han mostrado mejorar perfiles antropométricos, glucémicos y lipídicos, sin embargo, hasta el momento no se han desarrollado alternativas con alimentos funcionales peruanos como Quinua y Sacha Inchi. Objetivo: La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo, la formulación de un reemplazo de comida alto en proteínas para el manejo de la obesidad a base de suero de leche, con alimentos funcionales, Quinua (Chenopodium quinoa Willdenow) y Sacha Inchi (Plukenetia volubilis L.), validar su aceptabilidad sensorial y analizar sus características nutricionales. Materiales y métodos: La formulación se realizÃ...

El objetivo del presente estudio fue evaluar los aspectos de calidad de la carne: pH, color y textura entre bovinos procedentes de centros de engorde y viajeros. Se evaluaron medias carcasas de 114 toretes agrupados en dos tratamientos: el T1, toretes viajeros provenientes de la selva central y T2, toretes engordados en un centro de engorde de Lurín. Los datos del pH de las carcasas fueron tomados a las 1, 18, 24, 36 y 48 horas después del faenamiento, utilizando un potenciómetro. La evaluación de color y textura de la carne se realizó 48 horas después del faenamiento; para el color se utilizó el método de grado de coloración y para la textura se utilizó un texturómetro (cizalla de Warner Bratzler). Los datos fueron analizados utilizando el programa estadístico SAS con arreglo factorial para pH de 2x4x5 (tratamiento, edad dentaria y horas evaluadas) para color de 2x4 (tratami...
