Cocoa bean shell (CBS) is one of the main by-products of the cocoa processing industry and represents about 20% of the bean. This product has been suggested as a food ingredient due to its aroma, high dietary fiber, and polyphenol contents. This work shows the effect of grinding degree (GD) and grinding method on the physicochemical characteristics...

Agroecology is presented as a comprehensive solution that addresses the challenges of nutrition and social economy by combining traditional knowledge and modern scientific practices. This approach promotes sustainable agricultural systems that benefit both the environment and local communities, emphasizing biodiversity, soil fertility and integrate...

Veracruz occupies one of the first places as a producer of honey. However, there are few studies that address the typing of bioactive compounds and the physicochemical characteristics present in Veracruz honey. Objective: Determine the physicochemical and antioxidant parameters, and total phenols (TP) of Veracruz honey. Design/methodology/approach:...

Introducción: La insuficiencia renal (IR) ha emergido como un significativo problema de salud pública en México. El Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía (INEGI) la ha clasificado como la décima causa de mortalidad en el país en la población femenina. Por ende, la detección temprana se ha vuelto esencial, especialmente en el caso de la enfe...

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the use of powder made out of Roselle Calyx Wastes (RCP) in developing a biscuit formulation with acceptable sensory value. Roselle calyxes were infused in water in a 1:10 ratio. The residual infused calyxes were dried at 50 °C for 16 h, grounded, sieved through a 50 mesh, and stored in plastic bag...

The COVID-19 pandemic generated a new challenge of our time with different scenarios. For this reason, this work aimed to identify changes in the diet and lifestyle of Mexicans during the COVID-19 lockdown. This study was based on a Google online survey, which contained questions about eating habits, physical activity, and sleep behavior before and...

Las enfermedades renales presentan una alta prevalencia entre la población mexicana. En el primer semestre del 2021, ocuparon el 10.o lugar como causa de muerte en México. La enfermedad renal crónica (ERC) se asocia con una disminución de la función renal relacionada con la edad, la presencia de hipertensión, diabetes, obesidad y trastornos renales...

Currently food safety must be a mandatory condition in food available for human and animal consumption. Food safety is considered the characteristic that these will not cause harm to the health of consumers. Foodborne diseases are considered a serious public health problem throughout the world due to their incidence, mortality and negative repercus...

Banana and lentil flour blends were processed in a sing le screw extruder modifying the flour properties of the blend (20.5–79.5%), at selected range of die temperature (145–175 ºC) and the feeding moisture content (20–24%). Functional characteristics evaluated in the extrudates were water absorption index (WAI), water solubility index (WSI), bulk...

Spaghetti developed by substituting semolina with 5, 10, 15, and 20% (w/w) banana starch were evaluated by specific physical and chemical parameters such as chemical composition, resistant starch (RS) content, diameter, bulk density, color, cooked weight, cooking loss, and firmness. They were also evaluated by their sensory attributes. In general,...
