The optimization of ultrasound-assisted extraction for bioactive compounds from...
Aranda-Ledesma, Nestor Everardo; Aguilar-Zárate, Pedro; Bautista-Hernández, Israel; Rojas, Romeo; Robledo-Jiménez, Claudia LizethFlourensia cernua and Jatropha dioica are non-timber forest species that grow in the desert regions of northern Mexico. Currently, they are recognized as a viable alternative to traditional remedies used to address certain ailments. However, the low yields of bioactive compounds obtained propitiate the use of more effective extraction techniques such as ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) in combination with s...
Grape pomace - advances in its bioactivity, health benefits, and food applications
Almanza-Oliveros, Angélica; Bautista-Hernández, Israel; Castro-López, Cecilia; Aguilar-Zárate, Pedro; Meza-Carranco, Zahidd; Rojas, RomeoFrom a circular economy perspective, the appropriate management and valorization of winery wastes and by-products are crucial for sustainable development. Nowadays, grape pomace (GP) has attracted increasing interest within the food field due to its valuable content, comprising nutritional and bioactive compounds (e.g., polyphenols, organic and fatty acids, vitamins, etc.). Particularly, GP polyphenols have bee...
Enhancing the insecticidal efficacy of Allium sativum extracts through microenc...
Michel, Mariela R.; Aguilar-Zárate, Mayra; Perales-Rosas, Daniel; Martínez-Ávila, Guillermo Cristian G.; Gómez-García, RicardoGarlic (Allium sativum L.) has been widely studied for its insecticidal properties. The primary bioactive molecule in garlic extracts include allicin, alliin, S-allylcysteine, diallyl disulfide, diallyl trisulfide, diallyl sulfide and ajoene. However, these compounds degrade under environmental conditions once extracted. This study aimed to enhance the effectiveness of garlic extracts in controlling Tenebrio mo...
The specific encapsulation of procyanidins from litchi peel and coffee pulp ext...
Vázquez-Núñez, María de los Ángeles; Aguilar-Zárate, Mayra; Gómez-García, Ricardo; Reyes-Luna, Carlos; Aguilar-Zárate, Pedro; Michel, Mariela R.Polyphenols called procyanidins can be extracted from agro-industrial waste like litchi peel and coffee pulp. However, their efficacy is limited due to instability, which hinders both the bioavailability and preservation of their activity. This study aims to establish the ideal encapsulation conditions required to preserve the procyanidin properties found in extracts taken from litchi peel and coffee pulp. To a...
