The food industry faces significant challenges in generating biodegradable materials for packaging food. Studies on the production of edible films and coatings based on macromolecules such as carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids (and their combination) from cereal grains or legumes have provided helpful information about component concentrations, in...

Edible films elaborated from macromolecules, like carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids, must protect and maintain the integrity of foods during their handling, storage, and transportation. In this work, the effect of the concentration of zein (1–2% w/v), sodium alginate (1.5–2% w/v), and glycerol (2–4% w/v) on edible films physicochemical properties...

Beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) are the most consumed legume worldwide, followed by soybeans and chickpeas. They are part of a plant-based diet, which promotes a high consumption of nutrient-dense plant foods while minimizing the consumption of ultraprocessed foods, added sugars, and animal-based foods. In Mexico, it is part of the traditional milpa sys...

El frijol es una de las leguminosas de mayor consumo a nivel mundial y pertenece a la familia de Leguminosae. Esta leguminosa es una fuente de proteína de bajo costo, por lo que es accesibles para personas en países en vías de desarrollo. Posee gran valor nutricional, así como metabolitos secundarios con actividad biológica sobre la salud humana. S...

The bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) is one of the legumes with the highest consumption worldwide and belongs to the Leguminosae family. It is an accessible legume for low-income people in developing countries, as well as an element of social and cultural environment. In addition, it is a legume with a great nutritional value and content of bioactive comp...

The growing interest in conserving the environment is motivating the development of biodegradable packaging for food from agro-industrial waste. Corn crops and Mexican pinion generate considerable amounts of lignocellulose waste that can be used as feedstock to make paper packaging. The objective of this work was to elaborate and characterize a pap...

Superparamagnetic nanoparticles coated with natural polysaccharides are of great interest for biomedical applications due to their fast response to an external and high-frequency electromagnetic field and their biocompatibility. One of the greatest challenges in the development of these nanoparticles is related to the specific characteristics and p...

Aims: The aim of this work was to show the feasibility of growing Spirulina platensis in bubbled photo-bioreactors in a defined medium and after recovery and drying processes, to obtain a dry powder with food and nutraceutic characteristics such as those obtained by the proximal analysis, lipids and pigments profile, metals content, quelant and rad...
