Los efectos tóxicos que estos compuestos pueden ejercer son muy variados y dependen, entre otros factores, de la dosis ingerida, de la duración de la exposición al tóxico, de la especie animal afectada y de su edad. Por ...

Las micotoxinas son metabolitos fúngicos secunda­rios que pueden ejercer un efecto tóxico tanto en el hombre como en los animales debido, principalmente, a su exposición a través de los alimentos. La presencia de estos ...

The alternate deposition of oppositely charged materials (layer-by-layer technique) is an effective approach to functionalize materials. Biopolymer-based nanolaminates obtained by the layer-by-layer technique can also be ...

In this study, the digestibility of oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions using low methoxyl pectin (LMP) as surfactant and in combination with avocado peel (AP) or seed (AS) extracts was assessed, in terms of its free fatty acid ...

Pink Lady apples were harvested at commercial maturity and stored at 1 °C and 92% relative humidity under either air or controlled atmosphere conditions (2 kPa O2:2 kPa CO2 and 1 kPa O2:1 kPa CO2) for 27 weeks. Data on ...

Forward osmosis (FO) and emulsification with dynamic membranes of tunable pore size (DMTS) were assessed to concentrate and encapsulate polyphenol extracts from carob pulp. In the FO step, a feed solution temperature of ...

In Colombia, most commercial drying processes are frequently performed through the burning of wood and fossil fuels with high costs and environmental damage. Nevertheless, solar drying is a technique that could also be ...

Phenolic compounds represent a diverse group of phytochemicals whose intake is associated with a wide spectrum of health benefits. As consequence of their low bioavailability, most of them reach the large intestine where, ...

An understanding of causal relations between phenol intake and its beneficial effects on health is hindered by the lack of robust biological markers of its exposure. This is particularly relevant in mid/long-term nutritional ...
