- Abstract
Policy coherence for sustainable development (PCSD) has become a pillar of supranational sustainable development agendas, promoting “whole of government approaches.” The concept of normative coherence for sustainable development (NCSD) has emerged as a new stage of policy coherence for sustainable development analysis. NCSD is a policy approach that aims to promote transformative development by examining the relationship between policies and key sustainability norms, such as those expressed in the sustainable development goals. Normative coherence for sustainable development is recognized in recent scholarship but it remains generalized, lacking operationalization. This article proposes an NCSD methodology for analysis of legal frameworks. Qualitative empirical research tested this approach in Mexico by focusing on federal laws as well as those in two states: Aguascalientes and Veracruz. The analysis which examined four dimensions of sustainable development (economic, social, security, and environmental) showed that the environmental dimension of Mexico's legal framework is the least prioritized, suggesting that this framework is not very “green” even though environmental laws are the most transversal in content, which indicate significant levels of mainstreaming. Sustainable development experts were then contacted by the research team to validate the findings and interpret the results. This normative coherence for sustainable development methodology aims to situate normative considerations at the center of evaluation in order to promote domestic transformative sustainable development strategies and the “greening” of legal frameworks.

Chitosan ,Iron-Cobalt Nanoparticles ,Phosphate Adsorption ,Wastewater Treatment - Abstract
Chitosan modified iron-cobalt nanoparticles (CMNPs) were used for phosphate adsorption in synthetic wastewater and river water from the Jordan river in Tunja, Boyacá, Colombia. Phosphate adsorption by CMNPs reached 52.7% in synthetic wastewater and 58.7% in water taken from the Jordan river. This indicates that the CMNPs ability to adsorb phosphates is independent of other components within river water. Additionally, adsorption measurements were taken using the average pH, temperature, and phosphate concentration of the river water in order to ensure results comparable to those of (Kim 2017). A maximum adsorption rate of 0.138 mg of phosphate per gram of adsorbent was found with the majority of adsorption taking place within the first 15 minutes of contact with the adsorbent. The adsorption of phosphates using CMNPs presents an effective and environmentally friendly solution to reducing phosphates in aquatic ecosystems without altering the characteristics of river water.

Payments for ecosystem services (PES) programmes have been considered an important conservation mechanism to avoid deforestation. These environmental policies act in social and ecological contexts at different spatial scales. We evaluated the social-ecological fit between stakeholders and ecosystem processes in a local PES programme across three levels: social, ecological and social-ecological. We explored collaboration among stakeholders, assessed connectivity between forest units and evaluated conservation activity links between stakeholders and forest units. In addition, to increase programme effectiveness, we classified forest units based on their social and ecological importance. Our main findings suggest that non-governmental organizations occupy brokerage positions between landowners and government in a dense collaboration network. We also found a partial spatial misfit between conservation activity links and the forest units that provide the most hydrological services to Xalapa. We conclude that conservation efforts should be directed towards the middle and high part of the Pixquiac sub-watershed and that the role of non-governmental organizations as mediators should be strengthened to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the local PES programme.

- Abstract
The guava (Psidium guajava L.), is a nutritious fruit which is of climacteric nature and highly perishable. This fruit is grown in Santander and Boyacá and 90% of its use is in the agro-based industry. Post-harvest losses of this fruit have a great impact on the economy of the region. In order to prolong the shelf life of the fruit, a post-harvest treatment based on the encapsulation of 3 mM Citral in liposomal nanocontainers composed of 10,12-pentacosadiynoic acid and Lecithin was devised. The characterization of the nanocontainers encapsulating Citral was performed by fluorescence and DLS spectroscopy. The treatment's effectiveness in the fruits was evaluated for 15 days using the following parameters: weight loss, color, total soluble solids, acidity, ripening index, and Vitamin C concentration. The results show a better appearance in the treated fruits with respect to untreated fruits (Blank) for up to 12 days of storage., La guayaba (Psidium guajava L.), es considerada una fruta nutritiva, de naturaleza climatérica y altamente perecedera. Esta fruta es cultivada en Santander y Boyacá, es usada en un 90% en la agroindustria por tal razón, las perdidas poscosecha de la fruta afectan la economía de la región. Como estrategia para prolongar la vida útil de la fruta, se desarrolló un tratamiento poscosecha basado en la encapsulación de Citral 3 mM en nanocontenedores liposomales compuestos de ácido 10,12-pentacosadiinoico y Lecitina. La caracterización de los nanocontenedores liposomales encapsulando Citral se realizó por espectroscopia de fluorescencia y DLS. El comportamiento del tratamiento aplicado en frutos verdes se evaluó durante 15 días, a través de los siguientes parámetros: pérdida de peso, color, sólidos solubles totales, acidez, índice de madurez y, contenido de Vitamina C. Los resultados evidencian una mejor apariencia en los frutos verdes tratados respecto a los frutos sin tratar (Blanco) hasta los 12 días de almacenamiento.

- Abstract
Protected Areas (PA) are the main strategy for nature conservation. However, PA are not always efficient for ecological conservation and social wellbeing. A possible alternative for conservation in human-dominated landscapes are Multifunctional Landscapes (ML), which allow the coexistence of multiple objectives, such as nature conservation and resource use. Using the activity system framework, we analyzed whether the ML concept was an operative alternative to PA within an area of interest for conservation in Veracruz, Mexico. Activity systems refer to the set of productive strategies that result from the mobilization of resources and which, within particular environmental governance contexts, shape the landscape. To understand the challenges and opportunities of our case study, we: (1) delimited the landscape according to local conservation interests; and (2) analyzed the role of stakeholders in shaping this landscape. The delimited landscape included areas considered wildlife reservoirs and water provisioning zones. Our results suggested that the existence of local conservation areas (private and communal), combined with shaded-coffee agroforestry practices, made this region an example of ML. Although local conservation initiatives are perceived as more legitimate than top-down approaches, agreements amongst stakeholders are essential to strengthen environmental governance. In specific socio-ecological contexts, ML can be effective strategies for conservation through agroecosystems that maintain a high-quality landscape matrix, allowing nature preservation and delivering economic benefits.

Tailored materials formed by spontaneous two-dimensional arrangement of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane self-assembled monolayer on glass (amino-functionalized glass) has been exploited to attach biomolecules in well-organized structures useful in biosensing. Succinimidyl ester of both unpolymerized diacetylene liposome (NHS-DA-liposome) layer and PEGylated biotin (Bt-PEG-NHS) matrix were covalently bonded to the amino-functionalized glass by the NHS linker, and exposed to either Tyrosinase (Ty) or Streptavidin (SAV) solution. The interaction between Ty and polymerized NHS-PDA-liposome transformed the planarity of the PDA backbone, and a blue-to-red transition occurred; Bt-PEG attached to the fluorescent-SAV by bioaffinity. Sensing capability of bioplatform systems was evaluated by Uv-vis spectroscopy or fluorescence microscopy. Biomolecule functionalized SAMs retained the recognition potential of colorimetric Ty-PDA-liposome after biological interaction, and also facilitated the fabrication of a protein-resistant matrix with a particular affinity property. This surface chemistry is accessible to depositing proteins on both SAM-coated glass surface, and tethered to SAM, resulting in optical bioplatform arrays. Resumen Los materiales funcionalizados por adsorción sobre capas autoensambladas de 3-aminopropiltrietoxisilano (APTS) en vidrio (vidrio amino-funcionalizado) sirven para inmovilizar biomoléculas en estructuras usadas para biosensores. Liposomas de polidiacetileno (lip-PDA-NHS) y Biotin PEGilado con NHS se inmovilizaron aprovechando el éster de succinimidilo; y sirvieron para reconocer Tirosinasa o streptavidina (SAV). Debido a la interacción liposoma-PDA-Ty, ocurrió un cambio en la planaridad de la cadena polimérica PDA, percibido como una transición de azul-a-rojo; mientras que, la biotina inmovilizada interactúo con SAV por afinidad biológica. La capacidad de detección del sistema se evaluó por espectroscopia UV-vis o por microscopia de fluorescencia. Las capas de APTS funcionalizadas con biomoléculas retuvieron la capacidad de reconocimiento colorimétrico después de la interacción biológica, permitiendo la fabricación de una matriz resistente a proteínas con una propiedad de bioafinidad. Esta química de superficies es simple y accesible para la modificación de substratos de vidrio, útiles en arreglos de bioplataformas ópticas.

- Abstract
Phenol is an important raw material in the manufacturing industry, and it is found in industrial streams, both as a by-product and in wastewater flows. Due to their toxicity, the presence of phenol and its derivatives in water resources influences the quality of natural water, causing negative effects on human life. Thus, easily accessible measurement tools for phenol could be made available in rural communities where access to technology is limited. Sensors offer this opportunity, as they provide fast, reliable and easy use. In this study, a colorimetric nanobiosensor was developed based on polydiacetylene (PDA) liposomes, functionalized with Horseradish peroxidase (HRP). The recognition element was the HRP enzyme, immobilized at the surface of a cell-like nanostructure; biological interaction HRP-phenol was detected and the colorimetric PDA present in the liposome acted as a transducer element. After biological interaction, the polymer backbone is transformed from the blue to red phase; this colorimetric transition is observed visually and registered spectrometrically. The nanobiosensor was used to detect the phenol concentration in the 0.25 to 2 mM range in an industrial stream from the Kraft process, simulated under lab conditions. The response of the biosensor gives 7 % error in comparison with a spectrometric method., RESUMEN El fenol es una materia prima importante para la industria manufacturera. Se encuentra presente en efluentes industriales como subproducto y en las aguas residuales. Debido a su toxicidad, la presencia de fenol y sus derivados en corrientes hídricas, afecta la calidad del agua natural y aporta efectos negativos sobre la vida humana. Por lo tanto, la medición de fenol utilizando herramientas analíticas al alcance de comunidades rurales, con acceso restringido a las tecnologías, es importante. Los sensores colorimétricos llenan este requisito por ser dispositivos de uso rápido, fácil y confiable. Esta investigación desarrolló un nanobiosensor colorimétrico basado en la enzima Peroxidasa de Rábano Picante (HRP) unida a la superficie de las nanoestructuras liposomas de polidiacetileno (PDA). Después de que se originó la señal biológica, la cadena polimérica se transformó de la fase azul a la fase roja y esta transición se observó en la solución de liposomas y se registró por espectrometría. El sensor resultante se usó para determinar la concentración de fenol en el rango 0.25 a 2 mM, en un efluente industrial del proceso Kraft simulado a condiciones de laboratorio. El desempeño del sensor se comparó con un sistema clásico de detección por espectrofotometría que arrojó un error de 7% entre los dos métodos.

La fotoestabilidad de nanocristales (NCs) del grupo E-VI, como CdSe se aprovecha en procesos de fotocatálisis. Sin embargo, el contenido de metales tóxicos limita su aplicación en el ambiente en la remediación de residuos de las industrias textiles, de pieles y de papel. Se comparó la acción catalítica de CdS y ZnS, estabilizadas con dodecil sulfato de sodio y ácido etilendiaminotetraacético, respectivamente, para el tratamiento fotocatalítico del colorante azul de metileno (AM) con radiación UV. Las dos clases de NCs presentaron bandas de absorción desplazadas hacia 500 nm y bandas de emisión fluorescente a 430-440 nm. Estas características ópticas se atribuyen al tamaño (20-50 y 100-150 nm), confirmado por microscopía electrónica. La degradación del AM por NCs alcanzó rendimientos del 92% y 77% para ZnS y CdS respectivamente, mediante la producción fotocatalítica de radicales hidroxilos capaces de participar en procesos redox. En conclusión, NCs se aprecian como catalizadores eficientes para la remediación de AM, un colorante aromático heterocíclico de amplio uso industrial. The photo-stability of nanocrystals (NCs) in II-VI group such as CdSe is used for photo-catalytic processes. The presence of toxic metals limits their implementation in environmental applications such as synthetic dyes treatment, which are found in textile, leather, and paper industries. NCs ZnS and CdS, stabilized in the presence of ethylendiaminetetraacetic acid and sodium dodecyl sulfate, respectively, were compared in the photo-catalytic treatment of methylene blue (MB), under UV light. The two kinds of NCs showed absorption bands displaced towards 500 nm and fluorescent emission bands around 430 nm. These optical properties are attributed to nano size as observed by scanning electron microscopy (20-50 and 100-150 nm). MB degradation by NCs reached yields up to 92% and 77% for ZnS and CdS, respectively, due to the photo-catalytic production of hydroxyl radicals capable of participating in redox processes. In conclusion, NCs catalyzed the remediation of MB, a heterocyclic aromatic dye of broad industrial use. A fotoestabilidade do nanomateriais (NCs) do grupo II-VI como CdSe é usada em processos de fotocatálise. Mas a presença de metais tóxicos limita sua implementação no ambiente para remediar os residuos das industrias têxteis, de couro e de papel. Foi comparada a ação catalítica de ZnS e CdS, estabilizados na presenca de dodecil sulfato de sódio e ácido etilenodiamino tetra-acético, respectivamente, para o tratamento fotocatalítico de azul de metileno (AM) com radiação UV. Os dois tipos de NCs mostraram bandas de absorção perto de 500 nm e bandas de emissao fluorescente a 430-440 nm Estas propriedades ópticas são atribuídas ao tamanho (20-50 y 100-150 nm) confirmado por microscopia electrónica A degradação do AM por NCs alcancou rendimentos de 92% e 77% para ZnS e CdS respectivamente, através da produção fotocatalítica de radicais hidroxilo capazes de participar em processos redox Em conclusão NCs são vistos como catalisadores eficientes para a remediação de AM, um corante de amplia utilização industrial.

By means of recycling an enzyme, bromelain was used in casein hydrolysis facilitated by a nanobiocatalyst consisting of bromelain, CoFe2O4 magnetic nanoparticles, chitosan, and glutaraldehyde. Bromelain was immobilized on the chitosan cobalt-magnetite nanoparticle surface via covalent bonds to form the nanobiocatalyst. Immobilized bromelain showed 77% immobilization binding, retaining 85 ± 2% of the initial catalytic activity. Nanoparticles and immobilized bromelain were characterized using UV-Vis and IR spectroscopies, X-ray, square wave voltammetry (SWV), cyclic voltammetry (CV), vibrating-sample magnetization (VSM), and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The Michaelis-Menten constant (KM) and VMAX of the free and immobilized enzyme were calculated: KM = 2.1 ± 0.18 mM and 1.8 mM, respectively and VMAX = 6.08 x 10-2 ± 2.1 x 10-2 U/min and 6.46 ± 0.91 U/min, respectively. The thermal stability of the free enzyme was higher than the immobilized enzyme: 95-98% and 83-87%, respectively. An optimum pH of 6 and a temperature of 20 °C were determined in both cases. Immobilized bromelain maintained 50% of the initial catalytic activity after the fifth use. The immobilized bromelain proved to be effective and reusable for casein hydrolysis. As novel contribution the characterization by VOC and CV was carried out. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Tailored materials formed by spontaneous two-dimensional arrangement of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane self-assembled monolayer on glass (amino-functionalized glass) has been exploited to attach biomolecules in well-organized structures useful in biosensing. Succinimidyl ester of both unpolymerized diacetylene liposome (NHS-DA-liposome) layer and PEGylated biotin (Bt-PEG-NHS) matrix were covalently bonded to the amino-functionalized glass by the NHS linker, and exposed to either Tyrosinase (Ty) or Streptavidin (SAV) solution. The interaction between Ty and polymerized NHS-PDA-liposome transformed the planarity of the PDA backbone, and a blue-to-red transition occurred; Bt-PEGattached to the fluorescent-SAV by bioaffinity. Sensing capability of bioplatform systems was evaluated by Uv-vis spectroscopy or fluorescence microscopy. Biomolecule functionalized SAMs retained the recognition potential of colorimetric Ty-PDA-liposome after biological interaction, and also facilitated the fabrication of a protein-resistant matrix with a particular affinity property.

Paz de Río, municipio del norte del departamento de Boyacá (Colombia), recibe residuos de lavado del carbón (estéril del carbón) producidos durante la preparación de esta materia prima y los ubica, sin tratamiento alguno, en terrenos de su propiedad, acción ésta que origina la esterilización del suelo. El volumen de estéril en esa zona es muy grande y ocasiona problemas ambientales y riesgos para las poblaciones cercanas, tales como contaminación de las aguas de los ríos Soapagua y Chicamocha a partir del flujo superficial proveniente del depósito y disminución de tierras aptas para el uso agrícola. Por esta razón, se requiere de un tratamiento que minimice el impacto ambiental sobre el recurso hídrico y el suelo de la región. Para ello se planteó la remediación electrocinética que involucra la aplicación de un gradiente de voltaje a través de estos, durante cierto tiempo [1]. La corriente actúa como un agente que mueve los contaminantes hacia el ánodo o el cátodo, dependiendo de la carga y la dirección del flujo acuoso [2]. Se demostró la utilidad del tratamiento de remediación electrocinético, para manejar 6 Kg de estéril de carbón humectado al 30%, aplicando un gradiente de voltaje de 30-40 V. Paz de Rio, municipality of the North of the department of Boyacá (Colombia), has a coal waste dump for the residues of washing of the coal produced by the preparation of this commodity and locates them without any treatment, action that originates the sterilization of the soil. The big volume produced of the waste causes environmental problems and a health risk for the nearby populations because the toxic metals contained, which flow and polluted the waters of the rivers Soapagua and Chicamocha, and decreases the suitable land for the agricultural uses. In consequence, it is necessary to apply a treatment that decreases the negative effects over the water and soil resources of the region. By this reason, it is required a treatment of the waste, such as the electrokinetic remediation, for applying a voltage gradient for a time (Zhou, 2004). The electric current acts as an agent that moves the contaminants to the anode or the cathode, in agreement with their charges and direction of flux (Acar y Alshawabkeh, 1993). This way, the research found the ability of the electrochemical remediation to handle 6 Kg of the waste, with a humidity of 30%, applying a voltage of 30-40V.

Since the Consortium for Comparative Research on Regional Integration and Social Cohesion-Social Elevation (RISC-RISE) was founded in 2007 (RISC at the time), it has been characterized by two important traits: (1) a commitment to the principle of leadership within discussions of sustainable development; and (2) the presence of strong women leaders in the consortium's governance structures and scientific initiatives. Neither RISC-RISE nor Regions & Cohesion would have thrived without the leadership shown throughout their decade of existence by a cross-regional community of strong women leaders. These women contributed to the success of these initiatives through the promotion of a people-based vision of sustainability (including gendered perspectives), an inclusive academic dialogue (including feminist approaches), and community engagement (including women leaders). Women engaged and directed this dialogue. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Borrelia burgdorferisensu lato, the causative agent of tick-borne Lyme borreliosis (LB), has a limited metabolic capacity and needs to acquire nutrients, such as amino acids, fatty acids, and nucleic acids, from the host environment. Using X-ray crystallography, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, microscale thermophoresis, and cellular localization studies, we show that basic membrane protein D (BmpD) is a periplasmic substrate-binding protein of an ABC transporter system binding to purine nucleosides.

1 recurso en línea (89 páginas) : ilustraciones color, figuras, tablas, imágenes., A nivel industrial, el uso de enzimas inmovilizadas simplifica el proceso y disminuye el costo económico de la producción. Se investigó el reusó de la enzima β-glucosidasa inmovilizada sobre nanopartículas magnéticas de ferrita de cobalto CoFe2O4 activadas con glutaraldehído, para aplicarla en la hidrólisis de extractos de solasonina, provenientes de frutos semimaduros de la especie Solanum marginatum. El trabajo se dividió en cinco capítulos. En el capítulo I, se aborda el soporte teórico del trabajo de investigación. En el capítulo II, se presenta la síntesis y caracterización de las nanopartículas magnéticas de ferrita de cobalto (CoFe2O4). Se sintetizaron tres relaciones molares de nanopartículas. Se evaluó el rendimiento de síntesis y la atracción magnética, obteniendo mejores resultados con la relación Co40Fe60. Con estas nanopartículas, en el capítulo II, se realizó el proceso de inmovilización usando como modelo la enzima bromelina. La inmovilización se efectuó covalentemente mediante puentes de glutaraldehído y nanopartículas recubiertas con quitosano. Los resultados de este capítulo se condensan en un artículo titulado: Cinética de bromelina inmovilizada sobre nanopartículas magnéticas de cobalto-hierro (CoFe2O4), enviado a la revista South African Journal of Science, el cual se encuentra en evaluación. En el capítulo III, se realizó la aplicación del sistema de inmovilización y caracterización de la enzima β-glucosidasa sobre nanopartículas magnéticas de CoFe2O4 activadas con glutaraldehído. Se evaluaron cuatro tipos de inmovilización. La β-glucosidasa tipo A presentó la mayor eficiencia de inmovilización con 84,6 ± 2,1%. La actividad catalítica de la enzima libre e inmovilizada fue determinada en 93 ±2,6 y 82 ± 2,8% respectivamente. La inmovilización tipo D presentó el porcentaje de inmovilización más bajos con 25 ±2,4%. El sistema fue optimizado bajo las siguientes condiciones: 200 mg de NPM, glutaraldehído 1M, β-glucosidasa 5,7E-5M, tiempo de inmovilización 16 horas a 60 °C. La β-glucosidasa inmovilizada puede ser reutilizada durante diez ciclos manteniendo el 52 ± 2,5% de su actividad. La caracterización de las nanopartículas CoFe2O4 (Co40Fe60) y de la β-glucosidasa se evaluó por: microscopía electrónica de transmisión (TEM-STEM), difracción de rayos X (DRX) espectroscopias FT-IR y UV-vis, voltametría cíclica (VC), voltametría de onda cuadrada (VOC) y magnetometría de muestra vibrante (VSM). En el capítulo IV, se presenta la aplicación de la β-glucosidasa inmovilizada, en la hidrólisis de solasonina para obtención de solasodina a partir de frutos semimaduros de Solanum marginatum, logrando obtener un rendimiento de 1,8-2,5% y pureza de 89,2-91,3 %. Siendo mayor cando se realiza la extracción vía hidrólisis ácida. Sin embargo, esta diferencia es superada por la β-glucosidasa inmovilizada al lograr ser reutilizada durante diez ciclos y es amigable con el entorno natural. Como aporte, se realizó la caracterización por técnicas voltamperométricas aún no reportadas en la literatura, de las NPM-CoFe2O4 y de la β-glucosidasa inmovilizada. Se modificó el proceso de extracción de solasonina, fundamentado en la formación de sales de acetato de solasodina, haciéndolo amigable con el medio ambiente., Industrial use of immobilized enzyme simplifies the process and improves the economics and process efficiencies. The reuse of immobilized β-glucosidase enzyme on glutaraldehyde-activated cobalt ferrite magnetic nanoparticles was investigated for the hydrolysis of solasonin extracts from semi-mature fruits of Solanum marginatum. The work was divided into five chapters. In Chapter I, the theoretical support of the research work is addressed. In Chapter II, the synthesis and characterization of the cobalt ferrite magnetic nanoparticles (CoFe2O4) is presented. Three molar ratios of nanoparticles were synthesized. The performance of synthesis and magnetic attraction were evaluated, obtaining better results with the relation Co40Fe60. With these nanoparticles, in chapter II, the immobilization process was performed using the enzyme bromelain as a model. The immobilization was performed covalently by glutaraldehyde bridges and chitosan-coat. The results of this chapter are condensed in an article titled: Kinetics of immobilized bromelain on magnetic nanoparticles of cobalt-iron (CoFe2O4), sent to the South African Journal of Science, which is being evaluated. In Chapter III, the immobilization and characterization of β-glucosidase enzyme was applied to glutaraldehyde activated CoFe2O4 magnetic nanoparticles. Four types of immobilization were evaluated. Type A β-glucosidase presented the highest immobilization efficiency with 84.6 ± 2.1%. The catalytic activity of the free and immobilized enzyme was determined in 93 ± 2.6 and 82 ± 2.8% respectively. Type D immobilization showed the lowest immobilization percentage with 25 ± 2.4%. The system was optimized under the following conditions: 200 mg of MNP, 1M glutaraldehyde, 5E-5M β-glucosidase, immobilization time 16 hours at 60 ° C. Immobilized β-glucosidase can be reused for ten cycles while maintaining 52 ± 2.5% of its activity.The characterization of the nanoparticles CoFe2O4 (Co40Fe60) and β-glucosidase was evaluated by: transmission electron microscopy (TEM-STEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) FT-IR and UV-vis spectroscopies, cyclic voltammetry (CV) , square wave voltammetry (SWV) and vibration sample magnetometry (VSM). In Chapter IV, the application of the immobilized β-glucosidase, in the hydrolysis of solasonin to obtain solasodine from semi-mature fruits of Solanum marginatum, is presented, obtaining a yield of 1.8-2.5% and purity of 89.2-91.3%. Being greater when the extraction is carried out via acid hydrolysis. However, this difference is overcome by the immobilized β-glucosidase to be reused for ten cycles and is friendly to the natural environment. As a contribution, characterization was performed by voltamperometric techniques not yet reported in the literature, of NPM-CoFe2O4 and immobilized β-glucosidase. The extraction process of solasonin, based on the formation of salts of acetate of solasodine, was modified, making it friendly with the environment., Bibliografía: páginas 83-87., Maestría, Magíster en Química
