The objective of the present study was to evaluate the extraction and microencapsulation of antioxidant compounds from Oenocarpus bataua Mart seed, commonly known as “ungurahui” or “patawa”. The extraction process was performed in an ultrasonic bath and the orthogonal composite central design of the response surface methodology (RSM) was used to determine the optimal extraction conditions, using two factors: ethanol concentration (48.44 to 91.56%) and extraction time (13.83 to 46.17 min). The optimal extraction conditions (48.44% ethanol and 13.83 min) allowed to obtain the extract (EUL) with the highest number of antioxidants (yield (YI): 24.64%, total phenolic content (TPC): 452.76 mg GAE/g EUL and DPPH: 74.26%). Microencapsulation of EUL with maltodextrin by spray drying produced microcapsules (EUM) of homogeneous size (5 µm), without cracks or fissures and that preserved its...

Evalúa el efecto de la adición del extracto hidroetanólico de semilla de ungurahui (Oenocarpus bataua Mart.) en forma libre y microencapsulado sobre la calidad de la galleta. El fruto fue adquirido en la ciudad de Pucallpa. La semilla seca y pulverizada fue utilizada como soluto en las extracciones hidroetanólicas. Se realizaron análisis preliminares de pH, marcha fitoquímica y solubilidad al extracto, el cual presentó pH casi neutro, compuestos fenólicos con predominio de flavonoides y taninos, de mediana y alta polaridad. La extracción fue optimizada mediante la Metodología de Superficie de Respuesta (MSR), usando el Diseño Central Compuesto Ortogonal (DCCO), con dos factores: concentración de etanol (48.44 - 91.56 %) y tiempo de extracción (13.83 - 46.17 min), sobre cuatro variables de respuesta: rendimiento, contenido fenólico total (CFT) y capacidad antioxidante por CA...
