The appropriate parameters to produce nectar of tree tomato (Solanum betaceaum Cav.), with a greater retention on the content of ascorbic acid, phenolic compounds, total carotenoids and antioxidant capacity that are present in the raw material, were established. The content of bioactive compounds in the tree tomato pulp was determined: total carotenoids with 4,27 mg β-carotene/100g, vitamin C with 28,83 mg ascorbic acid/ 100g, phenolic compounds with 100,55 mg AGE/100g and the antioxidant capacity with 3,3172 μmol trolox/g measured by the DPPH method and 4,6551 μmol trolox/g measured by the ABTS method. A greater retention on the bioactive compounds and antioxidant capacity on the tree tomato nectar was obtained at a pH of 3,33, °Brix of 13, dilution water:pulp of 1:2,5 and a pasteurization temperature of 99,5°C for 1 minute, finding on it a content of 1,68 mg β-carotene/100g, vita...

The main objective of the research was to obtain metohuayo oil by hydraulic pressing versus screw pressing (at 50, 70 and 90 °C). The variables evaluated on the extracted oil were: extraction yield and physical-chemical. The seed stood out for its high fat content (40.5 %) and color L* (29.3), a* (9.7) and b* (18.4). Screw pressing at 50 °C presented the maximum yield and oil recovery values: 39.2% and 96.9%, respectively. The same trend was observed for the quality parameters analyzed: acidity index, peroxide index, p-anisidine index and coefficients K232 and K268, where their values showed an increase related with temperature levels of the screw pressing. The results showed that the set of physical-chemical characteristics allow the recognition and differentiation of the oils obtained in relation to temperature levels, and through a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) it was possible ...

The oil of debittered and dehulled grains from two Andean lupins (Lupinus mutabilis) from Peru, Andenes and Común, was extracted by expeller press. The extraction yield and the proximal composition of both varieties were assessed. The oil and the cake, as well as the defatted flour from the variety with the highest extraction yield, were characterised for physico-chemical properties, total polyphenol content and antioxidant capacity. The oil shelf-life at 25 °C was extrapolated by Rancimat test. Andenes presented an oil yield of 22.1% (vs. 18.4% of Común), CIELAB colour coordinates of L* = 36.5, a* = 2.2, b* = 20, refractive index and density at 25 ºC of 1.469 and 0.903 g/mL, acid number of 3.2 mg KOH/g, free fatty acids content of 1.6%, peroxide number of 2.7 meqO2/kg, p-anisidine number of 1.3, unsaponificable content of 58%, total antioxidant capacity 21.4 µmol TE/g and total pol...
