El presente trabajo de investigación tuvo como propósito la elaboración y evaluación de una bebida refrescante a base de granada (Punica granatum) y maracuyá (Passiflora edulis) edulcorado con estevia. En la primera etapa se realizó la caracterización fisicoquímica de la materia prima (maracuyá y granada), obteniendo valores para el maracuyá de: 82.7% de humedad, 0.7% de cenizas, 3.6% de acidez, 3.21 de pH, 13.2 de °Brix y 25.3mg/100g de vitamina C. Para el caso de la granada fue: 77.8% de humedad, 0.5% de cenizas, 2.65% de acidez, 3.49 de pH, 16.2 de °Brix y 4mg/100 g de vitamina C. En la segunda etapa se realizó un flujograma, donde las operaciones comprendidas en el procesamiento de elaboración de la bebida refrescante fueron: recepción; pesado y selección; lavado y desinfección; pelado y cortado; extracción; formulación; homogenización; filtración; pasteurizació...

Healthy eating is an essential pillar for the physical, mental, and emotional development of adolescents, as a balanced diet directly influences their concentration, academic performance, and overall well-being. In this context, the purpose of this research was to analyze students' eating habits and implement strategies aimed at strengthening the adoption of healthy eating practices that contribute to improving their school performance and quality of life. The study was conducted using a descriptive approach, with documentary analysis and a non-experimental design, at the Alfonso Ugarte y Vernal Educational Institution, located in the district of Pampas-Huancavelica (3,265.58 meters above sea level). The results show that more than half of the students recognize the importance of healthy eating for their academic performance and future health; however, before the intervention, there was ...

Healthy eating is a key determinant of physical, mental, and social well-being, particularly during adolescence, when dietary habits become consolidated and strongly influence cognitive and academic development. This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and dietary practices of students in the fourth and fifth grades at the Emblematic Boys’ School “Daniel Hernández”, located in Pampas, Huancavelica (Peru), and to propose strategies to promote healthy eating within the school context. The research followed a quantitative, non-experimental, descriptive–comparative design. Pre- and post-surveys were administered to 111 students to diagnose their level of nutritional awareness and identify the main factors influencing their eating behaviors. Results showed that 38.39% of participants demonstrated adequate knowledge about healthy eating, whereas 29.46% exhibited limited ...

Cocoa butter is widely used in the food field, especially in the production of chocolates, so it is obtained mainly by pressing and solvent methods. The present research work was aimed at comparing both extraction methods in order to determine the qualitative and quantitative effect on the fatty acid profile. The qualitative results obtained by mid-infrared spectroscopy (MIR) indicated similar presence of functional group vibrations throughout the wavelength range studied. At the quantitative level, gas chromatography indicated that the major fatty acids (palmitic, stearic and oleic) did not present significant differences (p<0.05). The use of hydraulic pressing is a much more environmentally friendly method, although its great disadvantage was found in the extraction yield.
