Fiber plays an important role because of the benefits associated with improving the gastrointestinal health and its prebiotic effect when is eaten. Agro-industrial byproducts have concentrations of 50-90% of dietary fiber, which is fermented by the microflora in the lower gastrointestinal tract. The principal processed fruit in industry is the...
Agro-industrial co-products can be used as a source of functional ingredients for the development of functional foods. The production of pomegranate in Mexico is estimated at 5,000 ton, and there are various studies that show that the peel is a source of compounds such as fiber and polyphenols. The objective...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro and in vivo effect of prebiotic characteristics of cactus pear peel and pineapple peel flour. The chemical composition and antioxidant capacity of cactus pear peel and pineapple peel flour were determined. Subsequently, both samples were also used as a...
Spanish-type chorizo is ripening meat product that is highly appreciated by consumers for its excellent sensory characteristics. This meat product was analyzed at different ripening stages (0, 10, 20 and 3 days).

Lactic acid bacteria (BAL) can produce antimicrobial protein compounds like bacteriocins, peptidoglycan hydrolases (PGHs) and recently, some ribosomal proteins have been identified. Among the BAL genera that produce antimicrobial protein compounds are Lactococcus, Leuconostoc, Pediococcus, Enterococcus and Lactobacillus. In the working group led by PhD Edith Ponce Alquicira (UAM-Iztapalapa) a...
Los polifenoles no extraíbles tienen un p apel relevante por sus efectos a la salud como actividad antiinflamatoria, reducción del estrés oxidativo, efecto antiproliferativo, efecto de vasodilatador , entre otros, por lo tanto la importancia de la contribución de esta fracción de polifenoles no extraíbles , que generalmente no se...
Symbiotics are a mixture of probiotics and prebiotics with a beneficial effect on host health. Microencapsulation of these components emerges as the necessity to preserve viability and functionality, besides improved their storage capacity and resistant throughout gastrointestinal tract. This study was divided in two stages. The first one was the...
