Universitaria s/n, Urb. Bellamar, Nuevo Chimbote, Ancash, Peru. Received August 31, 2019. Accepted March 8, 2020. Abstract During the last years, the world avocado trade is on the rise, however, approximately 20% of the production is rejected for low caliber. This avocado discarded by low caliber can be used in the elaboration of other products, to give it added value. The objective of this study was to determine the shelf life of Hass avocado oil, type of discard, obtained by: (a) Drying by stove/Soxhlet (b) Lyophilized/Expeller. For the physicochemical characterization of the oil, density, melting point, acidity index, refractive index, iodine index and peroxide index were determined. The induction time was carried out by the RANCIMAT method, for which three temperatures of 140 °C, 160 °C and 180 °C were used and the shelf life of the oil was obtained by extrapolation at 25 °C. The results indicate that there is a significant statistical difference in the physicochemical characteristics of both oils. The shelf life was for the oil obtained by drying stove/Soxhlet 5.94 years and for the oil obtained by freeze-dried/Expeller 4.41 years, since both oils had a high content of unsaturated fatty acids 16.98% and 17.12%, respectively.

    Naturex Gains a Foothold in India with the Acquisition of Valentine, an Indian Producer of Fruit and Vegetable Powders and Natural Colours

    Naturex gains a foothold in India with the acquisition of Valentine, an Indian producer of fruit and vegetable powders and natural colours Avignon, March 22nd 2012 – Naturex announces the acquisition of Valentine, an Indian company specialised in the production of fruit and vegetable powders and natural colours for the food and beverage industry. Valentine has two production sites located near Mumbai. This third acquisition, since the capital increase in October 2011, fits with Naturex's strategy of development in emerging countries. A dynamic player in a market with high growth potential Naturex will significantly enhance its sales coverage in India through the acquisition of Valentine Agro Ltd, whose sales are mainly within this country. Thanks to its expertise in formulation and spray drying processes, Valentine has been able to win over the years the loyalty of a high-quality clientele within the Indian food industry, comprised of local companies as well as subsidiaries of multinationals. A strategic commercial and industrial presence in Asia Carrying out this operation offers major strategic advantages to Naturex, allowing it: - to become a local producer in India and being local is an important factor of success in Naturex's business. This first industrial setup in Asia will supplement the Group's regional production centres in Europe and in the Americas, in particular for natural colours; - to ensure promotion for all of the Group's product ranges while benefiting from the existing commercial structure and to develop close relations with the Indian food industry. A centralised sourcing model At the same time, Naturex sets up a purchasing office, like the one created in China a few years ago, in order to better benefit from the wealth of the country's raw materials (herbs, spices, plant extracts, etc.) at the scale of the group.

  • Physiological Responses of Lepidium Meyenii Plants to Ultraviolet-B

    Physiological Responses of Lepidium Meyenii Plants to Ultraviolet-B

    Huarancca Reyes et al. BMC Plant Biology (2019) 19:186 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12870-019-1755-5 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Physiological responses of Lepidium meyenii plants to ultraviolet-B radiation challenge Thais Huarancca Reyes1* , Andrea Scartazza2, Antonio Pompeiano3 and Lorenzo Guglielminetti1,4 Abstract Background: Ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation can affect several aspects ranging from plant growth to metabolic regulation. Maca is a Brassicaceae crop native to the Andes growing in above 3500 m of altitude. Although maca has been the focus mainly due to its nutraceutical properties, it remains unknown how maca plants tolerate to harsh environments, such as strong UV-B. Here, we present the first study that reports the physiological responses of maca plants to counteract and recover to repeated acute UV-B irradiation. Results: In detail, plants were daily exposed to acute UV-B irradiation followed by a recovery period under controlled conditions. The results showed that repeated acute UV-B exposures reduced biomass and photosynthetic parameters, with gradual senescence induction in exposed leaves, reduction of young leaves expansion and root growth inhibition. Negative correlation between increased UV-B and recovery was observed, with marked production of new biomass in plants treated one week or more. Conclusions: A differential UV-B response was observed: stress response was mainly controlled by a coordinated source-sink carbon allocation, while acclimation process may require UV-B-specific systemic defense response reflected on the phenotypic plasticity of maca plants. Moreover, these differential UV-B responses were also suggested by multifactorial analysis based on biometric and physiological data.

The results showed that, in the mouse model, maca powder could significantly prolong hypoxia time (HT) and forced swim time (FST) and optimize blood sugar ratio (BSR), liver glycogen (LG), muscle glycogen (MG), blood lactic acid, and lactic dehydrogenase. Based on these results, aqueous extracts and maca water-soluble polysaccharide (MWP) were isolated. The total sugar content of MWP is 90.41 ± 2.55%, and the main monosaccharide component is glucose (79.88%). In the mouse model, HT (40.76 ± 7.97 min), FST (48.32 ± 10.76 min), BSR (4.49 ± 4.04%), LG (11.27 ± 0.61 mg/g), and MG (1.45 ± 0.17 mg/g) were all significantly enhanced in groups given maca powder compared to the control group (p < 0.05).

  • Emerging Vegetable Oils in Europe

    Emerging Vegetable Oils in Europe

    CBI Product Factsheet: Emerging vegetable oils in Europe CBI | Market Intelligence Product Factsheet Cloves in Germany | 1 Introduction The drive for innovation in the European food industry leads companies to adopt new ingredients in order to remain competitive. The introduction of new vegetable oils (emerging oils), either as ingredients or as final consumer products, is a form of innovation, differentiation and marketing used by food companies to articulate their competitive edge. On the other side of the coin, exporters of emerging oils still face a number of challenges to access the European market successfully. Whereas the Novel Food Regulation imposes marketing restrictions on a number of innovative products, some barriers to suppliers are often related to issues such as supply sufficiency and stability. At the same time, emerging oils also provide opportunities in terms of niche marketing and value adding propositions. Understanding the European market for emerging vegetable oils Innovation is high on the agenda of food manufacturers in Europe, significantly in North-Western Europe. In order to remain competitive, companies invest heavily in Research & Development (R&D), with the goal of adapting products to ever-changing consumer preferences, food health and safety requirements and introducing novelty into the food market. A large part of this strategy consists in finding new ingredient solutions. Vegetable oils are an integral part of several food products and, as such, are an interesting basis for product development. The introduction of new vegetable oils, either as ingredients or as final consumer products, is a form of innovation, differentiation and marketing used by food companies to articulate their competitive edge.

The findings from this doctoral research reveal that biodiversity-based innovation is a social shaping process that has resulted in large benefits. The cumulative capability to use species from biodiversity gives meanings that contribute to the species shaping process, with organisations and institutional changes providing direction and increasing the rate of the shaping process.
