El cultivo de la berenjena en el departamento de Córdoba (Colombia) tiene lugar en medio de varias limitaciones tecnológicas; una de ellas es la carencia de semilla de buena calidad, lo cual reduce la competitividad de los agricultores. Esta investigación evaluó la germinación y el vigor de la semilla de berenjena en función del tipo de empaque y las condiciones de almacenamiento. El período en el que las semillas permanecen viables es extremadamente variable y, aunque está determinado genéticamente, los factores ambientales y las condiciones de almacenamiento tienen un efecto decisivo en la duración de la vida de una semilla. Fueron utilizadas semillas de berenjena (Solanum melongena L., cv. Criollo) en las que se determinó contenido de humedad, germinación y vigor por un período de 11 meses. El diseño experimental fue de Bloques Completos al Azar con cuatro tratamientos (refrigerador a 5,5°C y 70% HR con empaques en recipiente plástico o bolsa de aluminio y condiciones naturales a 27,0°C y 86,58% HR con empaques en bolsa de papel o recipiente de vidrio) con seis repeticiones y 100 semillas en cada unidad experimental. Los resultados indican que las semillas almacenadas en refrigerador, independientemente del tipo de empaque, conservaron una mejor calidad fisiológica; por su parte, en condiciones no controladas, el deterioro es mucho más rápido por la permeabilidad del empaque a las oscilaciones ambientales.

The reduction kinetics of allura red dye (E-129, C.I. 16035) by sodium bisulfite at level B3LYP/6-31G(d) in aqueous phase was determined. This was done to evaluate a plausible mechanistic path for the reduction reaction of this important azo dye used in the food industry. The predicted rate constants (kSulf) for the sulfonation step were in good agreement with respect to experimental rate constants reported for some dyes of chemical structure similar to Allura red. On the B3LYP potential energy surface, were located five stationary points corresponding to reactants, transition states and products. The transition states for the first and second step of the reduction reaction are presented for the first time and characterized by calculations of intrinsic reaction coordinate and vibrational frequencies. The activation thermodynamic parameters indicated than the reaction was stable, endothermic and non-spontaneous. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We report a green strategy for the extraction of lichen substances from Stereocaulon glareosum . This sustainable alternative does not use volatile toxic organic solvents, but it is assisted by microwave and is checked by UHPLC/ESI/MS/MS. Ionic liquids may provide a better alternative in the extraction of natural products from lichens., (Copyright © 2020 Calla-Quispe, Robles, Areche and Sepulveda.)
