Actualmente, se ha identificado la necesidad de emprender acciones que faciliten la conservación de la biodiversidad y la recuperación de áreas degradadas, al mismo tiempo que se promueva el desarrollo sostenible. El cultivo de tejidos vegetales in vitro (CTV), permite producir un gran número de individuos, en tiempo y espacios reducidos. A través...
Species of the genus Prosopis are distributed worldwide and are widely recognized and studied for their ecological benefits, their adaptability to hostile ecosystems, and their uses as native crops. Prosopis alpataco is an Argentinian native woody species that developed morphological and physiological adaptations that allowed it to colonize xeric e...
El chañar (Geoffroea decorticans) es una planta nativa que se distribuye en regiones áridas y semiáridas de sudamérica, cuyos frutos constituyen un recurso alimenticio para las comunidades rurales y originarias. El conocimiento sobre la biodiversidad no solo permite poner en valor estas especies, sino también generar alternativas de uso y consumo d...
Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) comprise one of the regions with the largest endowments of natural capital in the world due to its great diversity and specific endemism. For this region, natural resources are usually the basis of its economy. However, the rapid socio-economic growth of LAC has generated pressure on natural resources and a con...
Latin America and the Caribbean is one of the regions with the largest endowments of natural capital in the world due to its great diversity and specific endemisms. For this region, natural resources are usually the basis of its economy. However, the rapid socioeconomic growth of LAC has generated pressure on natural sources and the continued loss...
An important portion of vitamins, minerals and polyphenols components in human
diet are captured from fruit consumption. Argentinean Patagonia Berberis microphylla
was characterized with the phenolic content, the proximate composition and the
identification and quantification of anthocyanins, not-anthocyanins and proteins.
The antioxidant capacity...
Red, black and white seeds quinoa were germinated at 28 • C during 24 (G1), 48 and 72 h (G3). Red quinoa presented a higher percentage of germination with a value of 46% of germination at 72 h. Quinoa protein isolate (QPI) was obtained by alkaline extraction (pH 8.0) followed by an isoelectric precipitation (pH 4.5) from white, red and black quinoa...
Dry-land surface (i.e. semi-arid and arid regions) covers approximately one-third of the world’s land. During the last 50 years, there has been growing interest in the causes of desertification due to its impact on the global environment, economy and society. The arid and semi-arid environments represent approximately 60 percent of the continental...
Red Bean Protein Concentrate (RBPC) and their hydrolysates were used to evaluate the antioxidant capacity. The RBPC protein content was in the range of 57.38%-72.68% of the total sample content. RBPC protein profile showed a range of 15-100 kDa. Phaseolin protein was identified with bands of 45 and 50 kDa. Phaseolin protein was found in all the RBP...
The zebrafish in vivo model presents many advantages when used in biotechnology and for food science and technology purposes. A large clutch size, transparent embryos, low-cost, fast growth and easy handling are the main features of this model. Recently, the zebrafish (Danio rerio) model, has been used to study vertebrate development and for modeli...
Amaranth protein concentrate (APC) was hydrolyzed under in vitro gastrointestinal conditions. APC proteins were partially degraded by pepsin at pHs 1.2, 2.0, and 3.2. During the intestinal phase (pepsin/pancreatin enzymes at pH 7.0), no polypeptide bands were observed in the gel, suggesting the susceptibility of amaranth proteins to the action of d...
La biodiversidad genética de los recursos regionales brinda la posibilidad de obtener productos derivados de la bioprospección, con el objeto de buscar nuevos alimentos con alto valor nutricional para el consumo humano. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue estudiar la composición química y nutricional de los frutos de Prosopis alpataco procedente d...
