Phenolic compounds, ubiquitous in plants are an essential part of the human diet, and are of considerable interest due to their antioxidant properties. These compounds posses an aromatic ring bearing one or more hydroxyl groups and their structures may range from that of a simple phenolic molecule to that of a complex high-molecular weight polymer. Flavonoids, which bear the C6– C3–C6 structure...

The cape gooseberry is the second most exported fruit in Colombia. There are, however, little information available on genetic improvement processes and limited research components. objective of this study was to characterize fruits 36 hybrids, obtained from double haploid lines Tibaitatá Research Center Colombian Corporation for Agricultural Research. Hybrids with potential uses transformation...

The innovation in industrial process with impact in the efficient production is the major challenge for actual industry. A high numerous of enzymes are utilized in at different level of process; the search for new alternatives with better characteristic has become a field of study of great interest, the recombinant protein achievement in a different host system is an alternative widely assessed...

Previous studies showed that hybrid grapes often have qualitatively and quantitatively higher polyphenolic contents than the common V. vinifera grape varieties. In general, these compounds are studied for grape chemotaxonomy and for nutraceutical purposes due to their relevant antioxidant activity. Non-anthocyanic flavonoid composition of five red hybrid grape varieties produced by crossing of ...

This chapter addresses the application of rendered products to the production of energy and other industrial uses. The high volume of rendered product generated precludes investigation into most high value/low volume markets. Future regulation relating to biosecurity and environmental protection has the potential to restrict traditional market access for rendered co-products. It is essential to...

New policies achieved during the past months, are now affecting the perfomance and competitiveness of industries as well as equipment designers and manufacturers. Natural gas (NG) consumption has been increased, and therefore, new technologies have been incorporated to chemical and manufacturing process. This study presents how policies governmental regulations and decrees, and technological tr...
