Incorporating stevia and passion fruit into beverages represents an innovative approach to developing low-calorie, functional drinks with enhanced nutritional value. This study focused on the development, metabolite characterization, and raw material...
The increasing demand for clean-label foods has led to the development of natural preservation strategies based on plant-derived bioactive compounds. Flavomix ACE, a commercial polyphenol-based product, was evaluated as a natural antifungal treatment...
Coffee quality results from the interplay between genotype, environment, and cultivation practices, but whether the effect of agricultural management depends on altitude remains poorly understood. We hypothesized that the response of roasted coffee c...
The chemical and quality characteristics of honey vary considerably according to floral source, geographical provenance, environmental conditions, and post-harvest handling, complicating its characterization and authentication. In this study, physico...
Poor drug bioavailability remains a major challenge in pharmaceutical development, primarily due to low aqueous solubility, limited membrane permeability and rapid metabolic degradation, which significantly reduces therapeutic efficacy. In this conte...
Milk and cheese research in Latin America includes nutritional composition, processing, and fatty acids (FAs) characterization, but a well-founded structure and the analytical tools employed have not been mapped. This bibliometric review gathers the...
Non–conventional food plants (NCFPs) have gained attention as sustainable sources of nutrients and bioactive compounds, while their underutilized edible parts may contribute to food diversification and waste reduction. This study performed a de...
Sour butia (Butia capitata (Mart.) Becc.) is a native fruit of the Brazilian Cerrado with high nutritional and functional potential, yet it remains underutilized commercially. The development of artisanal liqueurs represents a promising strategy to a...
Peru’s agro-industrial activities generate lignocellulosic residues that can be valorized as sources of cellulose-based materials. This study aimed to obtain TEMPO-oxidized cellulosic material (T-OCM) from bleached purple corn cob pulp. Spent p...
IR and Raman spectra of pure and chromium doped glasses and glass–ceramics from the system Li2O-CaO-GeO2-B2O3 are investigated and analyzed. The IR spectra of the pure and chromium doped glass samples contain bands typical of germanate and bora...
Non-conventional food plants (NCFPs) are edible species that remain underutilized in the human diet despite being potential sources of phenolic compounds. This study characterized the phenolic composition and antioxidant activity of three botanically...
Purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.) is an annual edible plant that is widely distributed and has a long history of use as both food and medicinal plant. It has attracted interest as a source of alpha-linolenic acid, vitamins, minerals, and phenolic comp...
Cistus creticus, a perennial shrub native to the Mediterranean region, has attracted considerable scientific attention due to its rich phytochemical profile and associated health-promoting properties. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of...
Green synthesis methods offer an environmentally friendly and alternative approach for the development of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). These methods utilize natural and renewable resources such as plant extracts or deep eutectic solvents (DESs) whil...
This study investigated the effects of silica (SiO2) and copper-modified silica (SiO2/Cu) catalysts on the pyrolysis behavior and product distribution of polyurethane waste (PUW), focusing on the selective recovery of aniline, a valuable chemical int...
The electrochemical behavior of the CuSO4–thiourea system was investigated by cyclic voltammetry in aqueous hydrochloric and sulfuric acid electrolytes using fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) glass electrodes at room temperature. Electrodeposition...
The brewing industry generates substantial organic waste, prompting interest in sustainable valorization because these by-products retain significant residual nutritional and nutraceutical value. Based on these premises, this scoping review aims to e...
