Innovative process combining roasting and tempering to mechanically dehull jicaro seeds (Crescentia alata K.H.B)
(2017)
An innovative process combining roasting and tempering was proposed to promote puffing and mechanical dehulling of jicaro seeds. Roasting was performed at three temperatures (120 °C, 140 °C, and 160 °C) and for six residence ...
Estimation of glycaemic index of peach palm (Bactris gasipaes) cooked fruit and chips, and pitahaya (Hylocereus spp.) pulp
Estimación del índice glicémico del fruto cocido y de chips de pejibaye (Bactris gasipaes) y de la pulpa de pitahaya (Hylocereus spp.)
(2012)
The glycaemic index (GI) is a physiological measure of a food’s potential to increase postprandial blood glucose, as compared to the effect produced by food taken as reference, such as glucose or white bread. Currently ...
Physicochemical and antioxidant composition of fresh peach palm (Bactris gasipaes Kunth) fruits in Costa Rica
Composição físico-química de frutos de pupunha (Bactris gasipaes Kunth) na Costa Rica
(2016)
The variability of the physicochemical composition, carotenoid and polyphenol contents and hydrophilic antioxidant capacity of fresh peach palm (Bactris gasipaes) fruit was studied with a view to its exploitation as a ...
Impact of vacuum frying on a carotenoid-rich fruit: from the modeling of degradation kinetics during processing and storage to the in vivo evaluation of the health effect in rats
(2021)
El objetivo de esta investigación fue diseñar un snack alternativo a partir de papaya (Carica papaya L.) que contenga carotenoides (β-caroteno, BC; β-criptoxantina, BCX; y licopeno, LYC) y ácidos grasos esenciales (ω-6 y ...
Effects of mechanical and enzymatic pretreatments on extraction of polyphenols from blackberry fruits
(2016-10)
This study evaluated the effects of mechanical and enzymatic pretreatments on the extraction of anthocyanins and ellagitannins from blackberries. Continuous pressing yielded significantly higher turbidity values and content ...
Pasteurization of blackberry juice preserves polyphenol-dependent inhibition for lipid peroxidation and intracellular radicals
(2015-09)
Berries are commonly consumed as juice, and juice-processing conditions could affect their bioactive compounds. This study evaluated the effect of thermal treatments on the antioxidant capacity of blackberry juice polyphenols. ...
