Citric acid is industrially produced by liquid-state fermentation using fungi of the genus Aspergillus; however, this process heavily relies on the composition of the culture medium. On the other hand, citric acid production by solid-state fermentation is more robust in physiological and nutritional terms, favoring the growth and enabling the...
La diabetes mellitus (DM) es una enfermedad que afecta a un porcentaje elevado de la población y cuya prevalencia va en aumento. Recientemente, se ha reportado que los polifenoles (PF) obtenidos de diferentes fuentes vegetales tienen bioactividad frente a la hiperglucemia, ya que poseen actividad antidiabética. Se que la inhibición...
The Mexican population is suffering serious health problems due to diet high in sugar and fat, so people are worried about their daily diet. Thus the food industry should develop functional products that offer benefits in addition to nourish. Blue corn has antioxidant compounds that may help prevent disease and...
Durante la degradación del almidón, que es catalizada por la enzima bacteriana del género Bacillus, ciclodextrina glucosiltransferasa (CGTasa), se obtienen compuestos denominados ciclodextrinas (CDs) que son ampliamente utilizados en la industria alimentaría por su capacidad para formar complejos de inclusión. Esta investigación propone el uso integral de la planta de...
Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a threat to health due to its toxicity. OTA is produced by fungi of the genera Aspergillus and Penicillium in different stages of coffee processing. The degree of contamination depends on the weather, humidity, geographical location and the kind of post-harvest processing. Chiapas is the primary...
The lipopeptide biosurfactants produced by Bacillus, have applications in different fields of industry. Lipopeptides have been mainly carried out in submerged fermentation which presents foaming associated with biosurfactant production. Besides, some increase in medium viscosity is due to the production of exopolysaccharides by some strains. Foaming and high viscosity decrease...
The effect of modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) to preserve the quality of two commercial varieties of edible cacti stems was studied, in order to prolong the shelf life of these thorn-less cacti stems and make them available for consumers in an adequate size presentation. Four experiments were performed during the...
Este trabajo de investigación tuvo como objetivo evaluar los efectos de la temperatura (T), tiempo (t), pH, así como una digestión in vitro sobre la estabilidad de las siguientes actividades: actividad inhibitoria de la enzima convertidora de angiotensina (AIECA), actividad antitrombótica (AAT) evaluada como la inhibición de la agregación plaquetaria,...
Mexico is one of countries with greater biodiversity in the world; one of its features is the presence of endemic flora and fauna. With respect to the endemic flora still lacks many studies to know their distribution and abundance, as well as their nutritional properties, this is the case of...
Las descargas de aguas residuales que contienen compuestos azufrados y materia orgánica generan la formación de H2S debido a la acción de microorganismos anaerobios presentes en estas aguas. El H2S es un compuesto indeseable ya que presenta propiedades tóxicas, corrosivas y mal olor. Además puede ocasionar cambios en la variedad...
