Bigels (BG) or hybrid gels are formed from the mixture of two gel phases, oleogel (OG) and hydrogel (HG). Recent research has reported that these systems have great applications potential in the food industry, mainly in the protection, release and controlled delivery of bioactive compounds, displaying superior functional properties than...
There is currently a growing demand for functional foods containing ingredients and additives (natural colorants), but the latter are expensive and difficult to standardize since they come from a vegetable source (fruits, vegetables, flowers, among others), as they depend on seasonality, growing conditions and extraction methods. In Mexico, there are...
El objetivo de este trabajo fue demostrar que la viabilidad de Bifidobacterium bifidum, secada por aspersión y durante el almacenamiento puede ser sustancialmente incrementada por la preselección de coloides protectores que ofrecen resistencia a la difusión de oxigeno (energía de activación alta) y la adición de aguamiel como un prebiótico...
Lactobacillus casei was entrapped in beads made with sodium alginate (A), amidated low-methoxyl pectin (P), and blends of A-P (1:2, 1:4, 1:6 ratios) by the extrusion technique. Diameter, sphericity and textural properties of the beads and the survivability of entrapped Lb. casei during yoghurt storage and in simulated gastrointestinal conditions...
At the moment there exists a great demand worldwide for products that are not only elaborated by its nutritional or cosmetic properties but with the purpose of to improve the health and to prevent some illnesses, for it are added compound biologically active as vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, flavonoids, among...
En el presente estudio se evaluaron distintas concentraciones de melaza en FAL de cabezas de camarón de la especie L. vannamei en frascos siendo la idónea para el crecimiento de las BAL la de 20% (p/p) alcanzando un pH de hasta 4.7 y una ATT de 0.52 mmol/g. Este nivel...
An effective way for protecting foods against spoilage mechanisms is to reduce their water content during processing. Thus, the food manufacturers of dried foods are continually trying to establish the most suitable conditions under which these products can be distributed, handled and/or stored, in order to minimize deleterious physical and/or...
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...
Amaranth has been cultivated in Mexico since pre-Columbian times, which gives an approximate yield per hectare 1.1 to 6 tons of grain / ha, 3.8 to 4.1 tons of coca leaf / ha, which generates about 271.100 tons of agricultural waste called "stubble Amaranth". The use of amaranth stubble is...
