Consumption of uninspected raw milk can pose health risks. The presence of coliforms in milk indicates precarious hygienic-sanitary conditions during the stages of obtaining this product. The objective of this work was to evaluate the resistance to domestic boiling of total and thermotolerant coliforms from uninspected and informally sold raw milk. 10 samples of raw milk were purchased without inspection from merchants in the city of Bauru - SP. Research was carried out on total and thermotolerant coliforms and the presence of Escherichia coli in raw milk samples and after domestic boiling. As a statistical tool, Student's T test, R Statistical software, was used to compare the means of two paired groups, raw milk and boiled milk. The search for total and thermotolerant coliforms was lower (p 0.05) in boiled milk when compared to raw milk. The presence of E. coli was confirmed in 20% of the samples (n=2) in raw milk, being absent in 100% of the samples after this thermal treatment. However, it must be considered that these microorganisms can, for example, produce toxins resistant to heat treatment and, therefore, put the health of the consumer at risk.

This text analyzes the term of force (mana'ap) as a native concept formulated by the pames (xi'iui) of the Sierra Gorda de Querétaro. This is related to aspects such as blood, food, cold, hot, air and their effects on the body. It is observed that, for this people, force is something that is produced continuously, and therefore, tends to be lost under various circumstances. In order to understand the dynamics and flows of force, emphasis is placed on the qualities of the blood - an element inherent to force -, later the phenomena and situations that lead to its loss, and therefore to the loss of strength, to finally explain what are the possible ways for its replacement.

This work explains the properties of huitlacoche fungi and their consumption as alternative food in the Mexican population. We review articles that describe the functional properties of huitlacoche highlighting the macro and micronutrients necessary for human health. In recent years, technological developments have considered huitlacoche as an ingredient for some daily food. In this sense, the huitlacoche in the future is a fundamental nutritious element to enrich others' food for consumption by the Mexican population associated with good health. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The banana is a crop of great importance for providing a food with a high rate of fresh consumption within the Cuban diet. For several regions of the world, it is considered a species whose agronomic value lies in its great seasonal production, for which its obtaining methods need to be developed to achieve high rates of this. The object of the study was to evaluate the effect of two bioproducts on banana cultivation during the vegetative phase. The experiment was carried out at the "Seed Biofabrication" Institute located on the Jamaica highway and national highway, San José de las Lajas, Mayabeque province, between the months of July and August 2022. The experiment had four treatments: T1 Witness, T2 soil + organic matter, T3 soil + organic matter + Ecomic and T4 soil + organic matter + biochar + Ecomic. The variables evaluated were: pseudostem height (cm), number of leaves/plants, pseudostem diameter (cm), leaf area (cm) and chlorophyll concentration. The data obtained from the test were evaluated under the analysis of variance and the comparison of means was verified by Tukey's test at 5% probability. The results obtained showed positive effects for treatments three and four comprised of soil + organic matter + Ecomic and soil + organic matter + Ecomic + biochar where they showed a tendency to increase the parameters evaluated.

This article explores the spatial politics of Peru’s gastronomic revolution and corresponding efforts to territorialize Peruvian agricultural products by tracing the spatial dynamics of quinoa’s trajectory from highland dietary staple to coveted national food. Efforts to codify Peru’s national cuisine have involved mapping ingredients and dishes onto specific regions while dramatically reshaping agricultural production geographies and culinary topographies. Because of quinoa’s success as a high-value export crop, the Peruvian altiplano is no longer perceived as a landscape useful exclusively for livestock pasture and mining. Instead, it is imagined as agriculturally productive: the country’s quinoa heartland. At the same time, quinoa’s trajectory illuminates spatial contradictions in the gastronomic boom’s purported objectives and its tangible effects. The revalorization of quinoa led to a geographical expansion of its production outside the high Andes, undermining the spatially bound concepts of authenticity promoted by gastronomic leaders in Peru. Broadly, efforts to commercialize marginalized food products and their corresponding regions can at once reconfigure territorial discourses in important ways, reinforce long-standing geographical inequalities, and generate contestations of the geographic imaginaries of food and nation.

Records of the first contacts with oxen, horses, and other herd animals (donkeys, goats, sheep, buffaloes, pigs, and others) introduced with the European invasion of the New World, as well as memories of these events, are quite rare among indigenous peoples in Lowland South America. For this reason, we know almost nothing about the processes of (re)cognition of these new and strange beings and their gradual incorporation (or refusal) either into the daily lives of villages or into the so-called native knowledge systems. This article discusses some narratives related to the appearance and first encounters with cattle and horses recorded among the Karitiana, a Tupi-Arikém-speaking people in the northern state of Rondônia, Brazil. The story of the ox and the horse among the Karitiana points to an initial classification process, followed by what appears to have constituted a strategy of reclassification of these beings -- recently detected (2023) through a change in the names of the animals -- which was driven by the ways of using oxen and horses that changed over time. This process took place as the exotic became increasingly commonplace and familiar in the devastated landscapes of Rondônia, increasingly occupied by cattle from the 1950s onwards.

The socio-ecological crisis is an issue that has become crucial today. The predominant agro-food model has led to the homogenization of food production practices. This has had repercussions on the health of the hydrological cycle and the soil, caused by deforestation, intensive agriculture, grazing, extensive cattle ranching, depletion of fossil fuels and excessive water use. The transition to agroecology is essential to address the climate crisis and biodiversity loss, which requires deep reflection and a change in the way food is produced and consumed. The synergy between agriculture and biodiversity requires policy frameworks that prioritize the communal and the health of the land, as well as the participation of communities in territorial decision-making. Collective awareness of the importance of food for the health of humanity and the earth's life system must be recovered, and agroecological restoration can be an encouraging scenario for reorganizing agricultural landscapes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

La crisis socioecológica es una cuestión que se ha vuelto crucial en la actualidad. El modelo agroalimentario predominante ha llevado a la homogeneización de las prácticas de producción de alimentos. Esto ha repercutido en la salud del ciclo hidrológico y del suelo, propiciados por la deforestación, la agricultura intensiva, la potrerización, la ganadería extensiva, el agotamiento de combustibles fósiles y el uso excesivo de agua. La transición hacia la agroecología es fundamental para abordar la crisis climática y la pérdida de biodiversidad, lo que requiere una reflexión profunda y un cambio en la forma de producir y consumir alimentos. La sinergia entre la agricultura y la biodiversidad requiere marcos políticos que prioricen lo comunal y la salud de la tierra, así como la participación de las comunidades en la toma de decisiones sobre el territorio. Se debe recuperar la conciencia colectiva sobre la importancia del alimento para la salud de la humanidad y del sistema de vida en la tierra, y para esto la restauración agroecológica puede ser un escenario de aliento para reorganizar los paisajes agrícolas.

Los avances tecnológicos en el campo de la neurociencia están permitiendo nuevas investigaciones de los procesos de toma de decisiones de los consumidores en entornos del mundo actual. El propósito del presente estudio fue analizar la evolución, características y relaciones de las investigaciones en neurociencia aplicada a los alimentos, pero con enfoque ético. Se realizó un análisis bibliométrico con información científica tomada de la base de datos Scopus, años 2005 al 2023, palabras de búsqueda Ethics, neuroscience and food y utilizando VosViewer y Bibliometrix. Se encontró que Reino Unido es el país más productivo con énfasis en 4 áreas: bienestar animal, recompensa, tratamiento y estimulación cerebral profunda, seguido de Estados Unidos que concentra sus investigaciones en neurociencia y educación en salud. Los países que han relacionado sus investigaciones con la ética son Francia y Estados Unidos. Con el análisis de co-ocurrencias de VosViewer se visualizan dos clústeres, uno de estudios de neurociencia en humanos, y otro de estudios de neurociencia en no humanos o animales. En ambos la ética como un aspecto importante de análisis. Con Bibliometrix se visualizan cinco clústeres: neurociencia, educación en salud, bienestar animal, marketing-ética, y Alzheimer-cerebro-neuroética. El bienestar animal es un tema básico, neurociencia (como ciencia pura) un tema en declive, la educación en salud y estudios en Alzheimer-cerebro-neuroética son temas nicho, y los temas motor están asociados con marketing y ética. Con la técnica nube de palabras se observa que desde 1996 hasta el 2011 resaltan los estudios de neurociencia en humanos; entre el 2012 al 2017 los estudios en cerebro humano y ética; desde el 2018 hasta la actualidad continúan vigentes los estudios de neurociencia en humanos, apareciendo como un tema importante los estudios en bienestar animal, asociado a la ética. El binomio cerebro-humano se torna un tema relevante a partir de 2012 hasta la actualidad. La investigación en seres humanos y cerebro, asociado con aspectos éticos es de mayor importancia a partir del 2015. En conclusión, estudiar el cerebro y el bienestar animal, asociados con la ética son temas de investigación futura.

Hay muchas formas de controlar los caracoles manzana, lo que resalta el importante papel del Gavilán caracolero en el mantenimiento de los ecosistemas como depredador natural, ya que el 95% de la dieta del ave consiste en caracoles de agua dulce del género Pomacea. El objetivo principal de este estudio fue determinar el potencial del gavilán (Rostrhamus sociabilis) como agente de control biológico del caracol manzana (Pomacea canaliculata) en cultivos de arroz en Luhr-Port Manavi. Este estudio utiliza el método analítico, el método inductivo y el método de encuesta de campo y consta de tres etapas y métodos: encuesta y observación. En una primera etapa se utilizó diagnóstico situacional para analizar el proceso de producción de arroz en las 25 parcelas identificadas. En la segunda fase se determinó el comportamiento de alimentación del gavilán caracolero. Con dos ejemplares, hembras y machos, se registraron 53 y 59 ciclos de alimentación, respectivamente, como referencia. Estos ciclos constaban de cuatro categorías: búsqueda de alimento, procesamiento de presas en vuelo, procesamiento de presas en reposo y búsqueda de la siguiente comida. Finalmente, se determinó el potencial del ave de estudio como agente de biocontrol mediante el monitoreo de su alimentación, arrojando resultados una densidad de consumo de 184 caracoles/semana*ha y un potencial 88.04% por encima del potencial de Álamos. 11,96%), lo que indica que el caracol gavilán tiene un gran potencial como control biológico del caracol manzana.

Con el objetivo de evaluar el efecto sobres el crecimiento y la supervivencia, de diferentes densidades de siembra de tilapia roja en jaulas de diferentes volúmenes (4, 6 y 16 m 3) se desarrollaron tres ciclos de engorde en la bahía de Casilda, provincia Sancti-Spíritus. La selección del sitio se realizó a partir de una red de cinco estaciones muestreadas en lluvia y seca para determinar los parámetros físico, químicos, batimétricos y turbidez. Los alevines se adaptaron al agua de mar en tanques de 12 m 3, con flujo de agua marina (1.4 - 2.8 L/segundo) durante 24 horas con supervivencia de 96%. Al emplear densidades de 73 y 184 alevines/m 3 en jaulas de 6 m 3, no se observaron diferencias significativas (p> 0.05) en el crecimiento y supervivencias (98%), con rendimientos de 19 – 54 kg/m 3. Al emplear jaulas de 4 m 3 y densidades de 150, 250 y 350 alevines/m3, los rendimientos aumentaron entre 37 y 67 kg/m3. El crecimiento fue menor (p> 0.05) con la mayor densidad. En jaulas de 16 m 3 se evaluaron densidades de 140, 250 y 350 alevines/m3, el crecimiento fue mayor (p> 0.05) con la densidad menor (140/m 3). Los rendimientos variaron entre 21 – 54 kg/m 3, siendo menor a la densidad de 350/m 3, debido a las bajas supervivencia (31.4%), por deficiencia de oxígeno. El cómputo químico de los alimentos comerciales, mostraron que todos los aminoácidos de la tilapia están representados y la Lisina apareció como aminoácido limitante. El impacto al medio fue reducido con aportes de fósforo ynitrógeno entre 0.1 - 0.33 y 0.024 – 0.079 kg/t de alimento respectivamente.

Introducción: El rescate de las razas criollas de frijol común es importante para preservar la biodiversidad y utilizar esta base genética en programas de mejoramiento de plantas. Hay pocos estudios sobre este tema en Costa Rica. Objetivo: Caracterizar las semillas de algunos frijoles criollos comunes en Guanacaste, Costa Rica. Métodos: De abril a agosto de 2013, recolectamos muestras de semillas de razas criollas de frijol común (Phaseolus vulgaris), también llamadas frijoles comunes criollos, en Nicoya y Hojancha, a través de visitas a agricultores locales. Trabajamos con Mantequilla, Nica, Revuelto, Sesenteno, Turrialba y Vaina Blanca. Resultados: Encontramos diferencias entre las variedades en variables cuantitativas y un ámbito de variación para el peso de 100 semillas (17,16-26,52 g) y para la longitud (9,78-10,97 mm), anchura (5,69-6,25 mm), espesor (3,96-4,81 mm), relación longitud/anchura (1,69-1,84), relación longitud/espesor (2,29-2,76) y relación anchura/espesor (1,25-1,55) de las semillas. Conclusión: En Nicoya y Hojancha, hay variaciones significativas entre y dentro de las variedades de semillas de frijol criollo nativas.

Introducción. La lechería especializada de trópico alto colombiano presenta elevados costos de producción, emisiones de metano y contaminación por nitrógeno en el suelo y agua; empleo de plaguicidas en las praderas, así como una producción de leche que aún no alcanza altos estándares de calidad. Lo anterior, requiere un cambio estructural en el modelo de producción con un enfoque de sustentabilidad. Además de otros aspectos, la ganadería sostenible requiere mayor complementariedad y diversidad de especies forrajeras, arbustivas y arbóreas adaptadas a las en condiciones de trópico de altura. Objetivo. Recopilar información a través de acción participativa y de innovación rural por los productores y avances de investigación de las especies Axonopus catarinensis y Smallanthus sonchifolius, forrajeras herbáceas con posible potencial productivo y ambiental (en etapa preliminar), para su integración en sistemas silvopastoriles del trópico alto colombiano. Desarrollo. A. catarinensis y S. sonchifolius son especies que podrían ser utilizadas en la alimentación básica y suplementación energética respectivamente, de vacas lecheras en el trópico alto colombiano. Aunque no existe información científica para estas condiciones, la referencia de algunos productores menciona que estas especies tal vez pueden mejorar la producción y la calidad de la leche con efectos en la economía familiar. Además, pueden contribuir a la generación de productos lácteos con atributos funcionales benéficos, que impacten en la salud humana. Conclusión. A. catarinensis y S. sonchifolius son especies que pueden tener un potencial forrajero y nutricional para incluirse en los sistemas silvopastoriles de producción lechera en el trópico alto colombiano.

Se analiza la seguridad alimentaria en el contexto de la COVID-19, a partir de los aportes de (Asprilla-Perea y Díaz Puente, 2019; Asprilla-Perea et al., 2020, 2021). Al respecto, el consumo de alimentos silvestres se presenta como una opción para el logro de la seguridad alimentaria, sobre todo en áreas de bosque tropical.

El siguiente trabajo presenta una experiencia de investigación creación entre mujeres trabajadoras de un comedor y huerta comunitarios de un barrio vulnerable de la ciudad de Córdoba Capital (Argentina). Específicamente, propone analizar cómo los aspectos metodológicos empleados permitieron el desarrollo de la experiencia desde una praxis participativa y presentar los resultados del proceso. La metodología se planteó como cíclica y progresiva y desde las premisas del diálogo de saberes, el diseño otro y el arte participativo. En las instancias de investigación y reflexión se utilizó el fotovoz, y en las etapas de experimentación y diseño se usaron técnicas como collage, dibujo y xilografía. Como resultado del trabajo realizado se crearon tres productos desde un diseño otro: un logo, recetarios comunitarios y una producción audiovisual, que recuperaron lo comunitario y permitieron pensar y materializar otras realidades posibles. El arte y el diseño participativo aportaron elementos que, si bien presentaron límites difusos, posibilitaron la investigación y reflexión en torno a imaginarios sociales relacionados al alimento y al trabajo comunitario; se fortalecieron los vínculos sociales entre las participantes y la comunidad próxima, y se creó contenido cultural y saber específico.

Background: Small-scale livestock systems provide quality food for a growing demand of animal protein worldwide. Although these systems help to improve rural living standards and reduce the environmental footprint new feeding strategies should be tested to improve animal productivity. Sunflower -which is native to México- and chickpea -also common in the study area- may be used as feed alternatives for dairy goats. Objective: To evaluate the effect of substituting corn straw with sunflowerchickpea hay on yield and nutrient composition of goat milk. Methods: In this participatory study, a total of 28 multiparous Saanen dairy goats were randomly assigned to two treatments (14 goats each) during a 30-day experiment in a small farm. Two weeks prior to the experiment all goats received an adaptation diet. One treatment (MZST) received a conventional diet of lucerne hay (200 g/goat/day) and concentrate (400 g/goat/day), plus 600 g/goat/day (50% of the ration) of corn straw. The second treatment (SFCPT) contained the same lucerne and concentrate content with 600 g/goat/day of sunflower-chickpea hay. Milk yield and composition, and live weight and body condition of the goats were recorded for each treatment. Results: SFCPT significantly increased milk yield, protein, and solids content, but no difference was observed in milk fat. Conclusion: Dietary supplementation of goats with sunflower and chickpea hay increases milk production, protein, and total solids content compared with corn hay. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

There is a range of processed foods that satisfy hunger, but do not nourish, causing a progressive decline in human health; however, bread enriched with micronutrients has a beneficial effect on health, contributing to the functioning of the organism. The objective of this research was to develop a functional bakery product based on wheat and butternut squash flours from two cultivars; An experimental work with six T0 treatments was proposed: 100% wheat flour (WF) – 0% butternut squash flour (BSF); T1: 80% WF – 20% BSF; T2: 85% WF – 15% BSF; T3: 90% WF – 10% BSF; T4: 95% WF – 5% BSF; T5: 97% WF – 3% BSF and three repetitions per treatment, under a completely randomized design, the chemical, physical and organoleptic properties were evaluated in each treatment by cultivating; for sensory testing, the sensory test was performed. The results indicated that all the treatments have a protein content between 9.59 - 9.78% and total carotenoids between 18.60 - 26.44 µg./g. on a dry basis; the sensory test Friedman established that the best treatment using flour from the Abanico 75 cultivar was T3 for flavor and color characteristics, and T4 for palatability, and when using flour from the Dorado cultivar for the same characteristics, the best treatment was T3 with 10% of butternut squash flour.

The present study has determined that the crude-oil refining process from the Cephalaria syriaca (CS) seed, which could be a new vegetable oilseed source, changed its physical and chemical quality properties (except specific gravity and refractive index). It was also determined that the dominant saturated and unsaturated fatty acids in the crude and refined oils were myristic (21.06-11.80%), palmitic (10.8-8.91%), stearic (2.26-2.70%), oleic (29.17-34.24%) and linoleic (35.56-40.57%). The vitamin E values of the crude and refined CS seed oils were 51.95-50.90 mg/kg, respectively. The oxidative stability values for crude and refined CS seed oils were 2.32-2.69 h, respectively. β-sitosterol and campesterol were the predominant sterols. As a result of the refining process, although magnesium, potassium, iron and copper decreased, the ratios of sodium, aluminum, calcium, chromium, strontium, rubidium, and barium increased. The results provide preliminary data for the future consumption of CS oil in particular for refined CS seed oil. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study, the perception of citizens regarding the cultural gastronomic heritage in tourism management is assessed in the province of Manabí, Ecuador, specifically in the canton of Jipijapa, an important tourist area due to its diverse attractions, typical dishes, and beverages that are part of the culinary traditions of the region. The economic aspects of traditional gastronomy and its influence on tourism are evaluated. The relationship between the preservation of gastronomic heritage and environmental sustainability in the tourism context is analyzed. The values and cultural practices associated with the traditional cuisine of Jipijapa and its contribution to the cultural diversity of the territory are identified. The perception of local residents and tourists regarding the importance and value of gastronomic heritage as a tourism and cultural resource is determined. A mixed methodology was employed in the research process, which included a survey of 505 participants. The findings reveal that the majority of respondents hold a positive view regarding the preservation and appreciation of gastronomic heritage as a tourism and cultural resource. Furthermore, it is important to involve the community in tourism planning and to recognize the significance of ancestral agricultural products as part of the cultural food heritage.

El trabajo de investigación se realizó en la Unidad de Experimentación Pecuaria (UEPE) de la Universidad Estatal del Sur de Manabí (UNESUM) Cantón Jipijapa, Ecuador, donde el objetivo fue evaluar los parámetros productivos, índice de conversión, ganancia de peso, mortalidad y consumo de alimento. Dentro del método investigativo se aplicó un diseño experimental de bloques al azar con cuatro tratamientos (T) y seis repeticiones; se manejó un universo de 144 pollos de engorde de la línea Cobb, en cada repetición se alojaron seis pollos con un total de 36 pollos por T a evaluar. Se utilizó torta de Sacha Inchi (TSI) como sustituto parcial de la soya en diferentes niveles de inclusión (15; 25 y 35 %) y un testigo que no contenía TSI. Los resultados obtenidos mostraron que el T2 (15 % de TSI) fue el T con mayor promedio en base a ganancia de peso con un rendimiento de 627 gramos, también el T2 obtuvo mejor índice de conversión con 1,81 mostrando así que fue el más eficiente, teniendo en cuenta el testigo que obtuvo el porcentaje más bajo. El índice de mortalidad a los 42 días fue de 1,39 % y la prueba de significación Tukey al 5 % determinó que la mayor ganancia de peso al final de la investigación fue la del T2 (15 % de TSI), seguido del T3 (25 % TSI) y el T4 (35 % de TSI), quedando al final el T1 (Testigo), por lo que se demostró la eficiencia de la inclusión de TSI en la alimentación de PdE como sustituto parcial de la soya.

This article examines the food politics of the National Council of Negro Women (NCNW), a prominent Black women's organization, founded in 1935. I argue that the council used an intimate knowledge of themselves, Black women, and the South to transgress a hostile landscape and protect themselves and Black people. I make this argument by examining the words of their founder Mary McLeod Bethune, their 1960s activism, their hunger campaign, and other historical documents. For NCNW, respectability was not meant to silence their voices, but rather to allow them a thin veil of protection not given to Black women. First, I detail the history of the organization, its emphasis on making Black women a part of the U.S. democracy, and their work to end hunger. Second, I conceptually explore Black women's inward and outward gaze, which includes some Black women's strategic use of respectability politics to uphold moral values and their grounded knowledge of the South, its land and its people. Third, I consider how NCNW used their inward and outward gaze to make change and end hunger among Black people in the South. Finally, I conclude with thoughts on how we might understand the current political organizing power of Black women within a model for which NCNW created much of the groundwork.

Los alimentos funcionales se refieren a aquellos alimentos procesados, los cuales contienen ingredientes que desempeñan una función específica en los procesos fisiológicos del organismo más allá de la nutrición. El objetivo de este trabajo fue determinar la capacidad funcional de una bebida a base de guanábana, sábila y moringa. Se emplearon dos factores de estudio: mezclas de materias primas y tiempos de infusión de la moringa. La acidez fue 0,4 % y pH 5,5 en cada uno de los tratamientos; los STD variaron de 2,98 (T3) a 3,18 °Brix (T1). Las formulaciones de mayor contenido de polifenoles fueron T3 (37 %) y T4 (44 %); en vitamina C ambas formulaciones tuvieron 33.32 mg/ml. El tratamiento de mayor aceptación sensorial fue T4 (sábila 10%; guanábana 20% e infusión de moringa 70% a 70 °C por 20 min). Los resultados del análisis microbiológico permitieron estimar el tiempo de vida en 30 días.

Objetivo: El presente artículo tiene como finalidad reflexionar acerca de la importancia de las comidas tradicionales y la apreciación que los comensales tienen de ellas cuando se conversa al alrededor del tema. Metodología: Es por medio del diálogo sobre de la cocina tradicional que se logra poner en consideración las experiencias que las personas comensales y cocineros tienen con ellas. Así, se emplea como recurso primario las personas que realizan este oficio. Hallazgo: Las vivencias personales que cada uno consigue al participar en la preparación y consumo de la gastronomía tradicional funcionan bien para establecer una relación con estas comidas; así, algunos se acercan más a su práctica, muchos limitan su participación a ciertas tareas y otros, toman distancia a falta de gusto e interés por ellas. Conclusión: De manera que, estas comidas permanecen en la dieta alimenticia de sus comunidades por el compromiso de quienes confían y defienden la importancia de sus características físicas e invisibles, dadoras de identidad cultural.

En la búsqueda de la disminución del uso de antibióticos en la alimentación animal se destaca el desarrollo de aditivos nutricionales que promueven la salud animal y el mejor aprovechamiento de nutrientes en alimentos de origen vegetal. En este trabajo se desarrolló un método analítico para cuantificar la actividad de la enzima endo-β-mananasa en un aditivo nutricional comercial y en la soya comúnmente usada como fuente de alimento para cerdos y pollos. El método usado se basa en la determinación de azúcares reductores con ácido 3,5-dinitrosalicílico complementado con espectroscopia ultravioleta, donde mediante una curva de calibración de manosa se logra determinar la cantidad de azúcares liberados por una unidad equivalente de enzima (U) en la materia prima, en un aditivo nutricional comercial y cuando es adicionado a la soya. Adicionalmente, se hizo la determinación de la actividad enzimática por el método de cromatografía liquida con detector infrarrojo, se pudo identificar la señal del estándar de monosacárido manosa, pero no se logró la separación, identificación y posterior cuantificación de los azucares reductores producidos o liberados por la actividad de la enzima en la matriz del alimento.

An evaluation of incorporated polylactic acid (PLA) active biodegradable films of essential oils to inhibit microbial adhesion was performed using a 25-1V fractional exploratory design, combining the factors, amount of PEG 400 plasticizer (10 and 20%), amount of cinnamon essential oil (0.5% and 1%), amount of oregano essential oil (0.5% and 1%), Salmonella spp. concentration (10³ CFU mL-1 and 104 CFU mL-1) and Staphylococcus aureus concentration (10³ CFU mL-1 and 104 CFU mL-1). The results of microbial adhesion inhibition test showed that the maximum inhibition percentage reached 73.82 ± 0.35% corresponding to experiment 7 (bce), which contains 10% of PEG 400, 1% of cinnamon essential oil, 1% of oregano essential oil, 10³ CFU mL-1 of Salmonella spp. concentration, 104 CFU mL-1 of Staphylococcus aureus concentration. Statistical analysis determined that there is strong significant evidence (p-value = 0.0283) that Staphylococcus aureus concentration influences the inhibition percentage to microbial adhesion; as well as that the cinnamon essential oil-Salmonella spp. interaction has little significant evidence (p-value = 0.0711) that influences the inhibition percentage. Inhibition results greater than 60% have the highest concentration of Staphylococcus aureus as a common factor. PLA active biodegradable films with a higher inhibition percentage can potentially be used in the food industry as a barrier mechanism to avoid bacterial contamination. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The most tangible economic indicator of animal protein consumption is the real price of 1 g protein of a certain quality. The present study aimed to determine and compare the cost-effectiveness of some animal proteins in Turkey. To determine cost-effectiveness, average protein contents (g/100 g), biological values (%), and inflation-adjusted 36-month real prices (TRY/kg) of eight different foods of animal origin were used. The ANOVA test yielded a significant difference between the cost-effectiveness of selected animal proteins (P<0.01 and η2 = 0.973). Multiple comparisons revealed that chicken meat and chicken egg, between which there was no significant difference, were economically superior to other foods (P < 0.05). Cow's milk and homogenized yogurt, between which there was no significant difference, took second place in terms of cost-effectiveness. These products were followed by fresh kashar cheese, ripened Turkish white cheese, beef meat, and mutton meat. There were also significant relationships between the unit prices of certain animal products. Although the real price of 1 g of animal protein varies according to time and place depending on the factors affecting supply and demand, the global economic advantage of egg and chicken meat coincides with the dimensions of health and religious beliefs. If today's demographic, climatic, biological, and technological developments can make animal protein production cheaper and more reliable, consumer welfare in underdeveloped and developing countries can increase.

It is important to develop new products under a sustainable approach that allows the use of regional resources, considering the impacts that climate change has caused on endemic species such as those present in the thorny forest. A low glycemic index functional food was designed, made with mesquite fruit by applying the Design Thinking (DT) methodology as support for food design; The technical engineering of the product was carried out with eco-design and ecoinnovation criteria, as well as a proposal for the development of the value chain. Four stages of the DT were carried out: first (empathy), the search was made regarding the national statistics referring to the population with metabolic diseases to take as a reference and determine the possible consumers of functional food in Lagos de Moreno (Jalisco), as well as the criteria established by the official Mexican regulations for the type of food products; second (Definition) the survey was designed, which was applied through social networks as a strategy to solve the shelter due to the pandemic, 157 surveys were applied; third (Ideation) the different ideas for the design of the food were proposed considering the basic composition of this type of food and the tastes of the consumer according to the survey; Fourth (Prototyping) the first food was made, under ecodesign and circular economy criteria that would allow a process with low environmental impact, but also with easy technological compliance; within the engineering of the product under ecodesign criteria, the concept of the food was developed, the Life Cycle Analysis of the product, the inputs and the evaluation of environmental impact and other aspects of engineering for the process were determined. Regarding the development of the value chain, this was carried out in accordance with the International Labor Organization (ILO), the mapping of the value chain was carried out, capturing the primary activities and the support activities that must be carried out. This research provides knowledge in the development of functional foods with regional resources that allow the use of endemic species with additional benefits for consumers, but also the strengthening of the local economy, under sustainability criteria, in order to contribute as much as possible to achieve the sustainable development goal of zero hunger by 2030.
