El objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar la influencia de los agronegocios familiares en la seguridad alimentaria de los hogares del Programa de Vaso de Leche del distrito de Chupaca, 2021. Se realizó encuestas con cuestionario validado a 466 madres de familia beneficiarias, para recoger datos sobre las variables en estudio. Los resultados evidencian que el agronegocio familiar está basado en tenencia de terrenos (64,4 %), productos agrícolas (60,94%) pecuarios (85, 6%), producidos entre enero y setiembre de cada año, estos son destinados al autoconsumo (22,3%) y al comercio directo individual (64,5%) a los mercados locales. La seguridad alimentaria el 24,9% si cuenta con disponibilidad de alimentos, el 24,5% es de su autoproducción, 50,2% desconoce los alimentos saludables, el 43,3% afirman que los alimentos que consume provienen de su terreno, 59,7%, adquieran sus alimentos ...

This study set out to examine her physicochemical characteristics, antioxidant activity and toxicological aspect of Schinus molle L. seed oil with view to ascertaining it as a potential product in an industrialized setting in the food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical sectors. It contains significant amounts of unsaturated fatty acids especially oleic (43.2%) and linoleic (34.7) which are health promoting. Its antioxidant activity was very high with a total phenolic concentration (102.4 mg GAE/ 100g), DPPH radical scavenging activity (76.5) and the ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP, 0.45 mmol Fe2 + /100g). This improves its prospects as a preservative agent and anti-aging agent. Viscosity values of the oil also varied with temperature ranging between 37.2 cP at 25 oC (temperature of interest) to 55.5 cP at 200 oC, which indicates that it was capable of high temperature usage. A toxicol...

Iron-deficiency anemia remains a significant concern among children living in Andean regions, where access to iron sources with high bioavailability is limited. In this context, the use of local by-products such as guinea pig (Cavia porcellus) blood and broth represents a promising alternative for the development of culturally acceptable functional foods. The objective of this study was to evaluate the sensory acceptability of fortified donuts incorporating freeze-dried guinea pig blood and guinea pig broth, in order to assess their feasibility as a strategy to improve the intake of essential nutrients among children in the province of Tarma.Two experimental treatments were formulated using five and ten grams of freeze-dried blood, while keeping the amount of broth constant. Sensory evaluation was conducted through a hedonic test applied to a panel of child consumers. The results indicat...
