Uvas pasas (Vitis vinífera L.) de la variedad Italia blanca se utilizó para determinar los parámetros en la elaboración de un destilado a través de sus características físico-químicas y sensoriales; aprovechando este subproducto en la elaboración de un destilado. Se empleó la metodología de Superficie de Respuesta (MSR) con el modelo de Box-Behnken para las 3 variables cuantitativas: concentración de pasas: 25 %; 30 % y 35 %, tiempo de maceración de 24, 36 y 48 horas y concentración de inoculación de levaduras Saccharomyces cerevisiae AWRI 796 con niveles de 20, 30 y 40 g/Hl con 15 tratamientos. La materia prima utilizada fueron pasas de uva de la variedad Italia blanca con humedad de 45,78% y 42,21 % de azúcares totales. Las variables en estudio concentración de pasas, el tiempo de maceración y la concentración de lev}aduras; solo influyeron en la aceptabilidad del sa...

Previous investigations suggested the orange essential oil as antimicrobial and natural antioxidant; however, the high volatility and sensibility due to extern factors are imitating its applications. Thus, the encapsulation is an ideal alternative of protection for essentials oils and the molecular inclusion has greater advantages compared to others, but the drying method and temperature can influence its characteristics and stability. Therefore, the orange essential oil was microencapsulated into beta-cyclodextrin (β-CD), and was evaluated the effect of drying by stove, lyophilization and atomization (160, 180 and 200 °C) on humidity, water activity, encapsulation efficiency, yield, and stability (82% relative humidity for 36 days). The microparticles were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The best drying method was lyop...

The solvent-free microwave extraction and the ultrasound-assisted extraction, as emerging technologies, offer advantages in the essential oil extraction, being the research about the effect on the yield and chemical composition of the essential oil important. The influence of leaves moisture and extraction power on the yield of solvent-free microwave eucalyptus essential oil, and a comparison with the ultrasound-assisted extraction was evaluated. The extraction was done by microwaves at 300 and 600 watts, 70, 80 and 90% humidity in the leaves, selecting the power that shows the highest yield of the essential oil. Afterwards, the effect of ultrasound at 180 watts, 40 kHz per 15 minutes on the yield and chemical composition was evaluated. The analytes obtained by both extraction methods were identified, by gas chromatography coupled to a mass spectrometer (GC-MS). The highest yield (0,55%)...
