Tropaeolum majus L. is a native plant to South and Central America, used since ancient times by our ancestors to combat different diseases. Glucotropaeolonin is one of its main components, which when hydrolyzed forms benzyl isothiocyanate (BIT) that promotes cellular apoptosis (programmed cell death in cancer cells). Therefore, the present research aims to evaluate the effect of the pressure and temperature of benzyl isothiocyanate extraction by supercritical CO2 from Tropaeolum majus L. The extraction was carried out in a supercritical fluid extractor equipment Speed SFE BASIC Brand: Poly science, the leaves of Tropaeolum majus L. were ground for one hour and lyophilized until obtaining a humidity of 6%.

El secado por aspersión y encapsulación es un método para transformar soluciones, emulsiones y suspensiones en polvos. Después de cinco décadas de estudios en investigación y desarrollo, el secado por aspersión se ha vuelto uno de los métodos de secado industrial más atractivos y reconocidos. El objetivo general del presente trabajo fue evaluar el efecto de la concentración del encapsulante (maltodextrina) y la temperatura de atomización en la supervivencia del Lactobacillus spp. Para determinar la viabilidad del Lactobacillus spp., además del porcentaje de sobrevivencia del Lactobacillus spp. incorporado al jugo de aguaymanto. Se utilizó el diseño completamente al azar con arreglo factorial 3X2 con tres repeticiones con un nivel se significancia de (α= 0,05), empleando el programa Minitab 16. Se concluye que, en conservación a 4°C, cuando el Lactobacillus spp. está enc...

La investigación de polifenoles es considerada un campo prometedor en el tratamiento y la prevención del cáncer de mama. Se han realizado algunos estudios in vitro en algunas líneas celulares cancerígenas, y, en el presente trabajo se tuvo como objetivo general evaluar in vitro la citotoxicidad de los extractos fenólicos de flores anaranjadas de Tropaeolum majus L. en líneas celulares de cáncer de mama, y como objetivos específicos relacionar el tipo de solvente con mejor rendimiento para la extracción de compuestos fenólicos y la concentración de compuestos fenólicos con actividad citotóxica. Se probaron cuatro tipos de solventes para la extracción de polifenoles: Etanol al 99%, etanol 80% (etanol: agua), metanol al 99% y metanol al 80% (metanol:agua). Se cuantificó el contenido de compuestos fenólicos totales por el método Folin Ciocateu, y la capacidad antioxidante p...

We have obtained and characterized chemical, physicochemical and functional starch quinoathree varieties: black Collana (VC), red pasankalla (VP) and white Junín (VB). Proximalchemical analysis and grain quinoa starch were performed by the AOAC method (2000),starch extraction was performed in laboratory scale; the highest yield is 30.62% in the VBfollowed by VP with 26.71 %, while VC won at least 18,95%; there is significant differenceat (p <0.05) between varieties. For functional properties of starch samples have low solubilityof 5% and restricted swelling power of 0.7% so that there are no significant differences (p>0.05) granules are finding that their forces or links very strong union; a high gelatinizationtemperature range (66-69°C) which showed no significant difference (p> 0.05); plus a slightpeak viscosity of 2006cp to VC, 1521VB and minimum VP 1009 cp. Resulting in ex...

The content of phenolic compounds and antioxidant capacity in three colors of petals cress(Tropaeolum majus L.) was evaluated. Petals colors red cress, orange and yellow were driedat room temperature; then they were conditioned for extracting its bioactive components,which were quantified showing significant difference (p<0.05) between colors.

The research aimed to develop a children's pumpkin compote, functional, inexpensive, preservative-free and of considerable shelf life. The effect of incorporating xanthan gum (XG) was evaluated at three concentrations (0.10%, 0.15% and 0.20%) on its rheological properties. Sensory characteristics were applied to 60 panelists (30 undergraduate students and 30 children between 2 and 3 years). Its physical, physicochemical, and microbiological characteristics were determined. With the pH values was estimated the shelf life of pumpkin compote using accelerated testing method. The product was stored at 20 °C, 30 °C and 40 °C for 0, 10, 20, and 30 days. The results show the pumpkin compote presented non-Newtonian behavior, pseudoplastic, and was adjusted to the Ostwald Waele model (R2 > 0.98). Compote formulated with 0.15% of XG was conceived as the best treatment, with a "Like" scale fo...

Background. Artichoke (Cynara scolymus L.) residues are a rich source of phenolic compounds, but these compounds are susceptible to external factors. Therefore, nanoencapsulation by ionic and ultrasound-assisted gelation techniques can be used as an alternative to preservation. This work aimed to determine the effects of the interaction of the following variables: chitosan (Ch) concentration, sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP), Ch/TPP ratio, pH, and sonication time to ensure high encapsulation efficiency (%EE). Materials and methods. Optimal nanoencapsulation conditions were evaluated using a 25–1 fractional factorial design to maximize nanoencapsulation efficiency (%EE) using multivariate regression analysis. Results. The model was adequate with R2 = 0.998. The optimum conditions for nanoencapsulation were Ch (0.28%), TPP (0.29%), Ch/TPP (5/1), pH (4.9) and sonication time (4.79 min). Unde...
