The pace of life of the current population has led to changes in eating habits and people are likely to suffer from gastric problems. The rocoto chilli is palatable, contains vitamins, antioxidants, and has been reported that consumption of chilies benefits the digestive system. This research aimed to evaluate acceptance and consumer preference to the processed food from the binary combination of a natural fruit pulp and rocoto chilli ; two differents jams formulations to pineapple pulp and rocoto chilli pulp (ratios 1:4 and 1:8) were developed, being used sugar, pectin , potassium sorbate and citric acid, rocoto chilli pulp and pineapple pulp. The preference degree of potential consumer (53 judges aged 17 to 50 years old) was evaluated, significant differences were detected between the two jams formulations (α=0,01), 02 formulation being preferred; 62,26% of consumers expressed a willi...

El ritmo de vida acelerado de la población actual ha producido cambios en los hábitos alimenticios y las personas están propensas a sufrir problemas gástricos. El rocoto tiene sabor agradable, contiene vitaminas, antioxidantes y su consumo beneficia al sistema digestivo. Esta investigación tuvo como propósito evaluar la aceptación y preferencia del consumidor ante un producto elaborado con la combinación binaria de pulpa de rocoto y un fruto natural; se desarrollaron dos formulaciones de mermelada de rocoto:piña (proporciones 1:4 y 1:8), empleándose pulpa de rocoto, pulpa de piña, azúcar, pectina, sorbato de potasio y ácido cítrico. Se evaluó el nivel de preferencia del consumidor potencial (53 jueces con edades entre 17 a 50 años) detectándose diferencias significativas entre las dos formulaciones de mermelada (α=0,01), prefiriéndose la formulación 02; el 62,26% de l...

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is a highly prevalent chronic infectious disease in developing countries, with Peru being one of the most affected in the world. The variants in Nacetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) gene are related with xenobiotics metabolism and have potential for TB studies. Aim: Associate the NAT2 gene variants, acetylator phenotypes and active tuberculosis in Peruvians patients. Methods: The design was cases (TB patients) and controls (population-based data). First, DNA isolation, and the variants rs1799929, rs1799930, and rs1799931 of the NAT2 gene were determined with sequencing. The acetylator phenotypes: Slow (SA), intermediate (IA) and rapid (RA) too were analyzed. Results: The frequencies of the rs1799931 variant in the patients, respect controls, showed significant differences and they are risk, both for the A allele (p=0.00; OR = 3.04, 95% CI: 1.88- 4.9) and the AG genot...
