The consumption of milk is widespread in the world and extensive information is found on the effect of its consumption on health. This literature review aimed to collect and organize information on the diff erential composition of fatty acids in the milk of various mammals and show their relationship with human health. The method uses protocols and search criteria (PICOS), to obtain the information and perform the analysis. Th e results highlight the variation of the milk composition according to its animal origin, in the percentage of its macrocomponents (proteins, lipids, carbohydrates), microcomponents (minerals, vitamins) and other bioelements, as well as in the composition of these. The lipid macrocomponent provides the largest source of energy, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and fat-soluble vitamins required by breeding during lactation, being very variable according to the ma...

The alpha amylases are the enzymes most studied and important in biotechnology and industry; because they have completely replaced the starch’s chemical hydrolysis. These enzymes are essential in the food production, medicines and detergents in order to optimize processes and conserve the environment. The α-amylase can be isolated from different organisms such as plants, animals, fungi and bacteria, now a large number of bacterial α-amylases especially from genus Bacillus are commercially available and they are the most used in industry. However, the production of these do not meet industry requirements in the world, because the demand for this enzyme has increased in the last two years and the use of bacterial α-amilase has caused allergies affecting the 15% of the global population. In this study, as a source of α-amylase used the seeds from Chenopodium quinoa (quinoa). Var. whit...

Wet rot affects organic banana crops in the northern tropical region of Peru. Several bacteria have been reported to cause wet rot on different crops, leading to severe problems, particularly in humid climates. Bacteria infect the banana pseudostem through wounds caused during plant pruning and insect bites. Knowledge about bacteria identification that causes wet rot may provide a valuable tool for controlling this issue. The present study explored the primary bacterial component of banana pseudostem wet rot samples at three localities in the Sullana province of Piura, using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. A total of one hundred and thirty-six sequence data were obtained from the three Sullana localities: forty sequences of bacterial isolates from the Querecotillo locality sample, forty-eight from Mambre, and Salitral each. The genus Klebsiella of the Enterobacteriaceae family was identified a...
