Las fresas son un alimento importante en Latinoamérica debido a sus componentes químicos, puesto que son una considerable fuente de calorías y polifenoles. Estos elementos son útiles por su capacidad antioxidante y otras propiedades beneficiosas para la salud. Sin embargo, la presión y la temperatura pueden llegar a afectar la integridad molecular de estos componentes, por lo tanto, en el proceso de producción de diferentes productos basados en fresas, se requiere estudiar las propiedades termoquímicas de los diferentes polifenoles presentes en esta fruta. Para ello, se extrajeron datos de las principales familias de polifenoles, antocianinas, flavanoles, flavonoles, ácidos hidroxibenzoicos y …
Starch-Pectin Matrices For Encapsulation Of Ascorbic Acid, Yiwei Liu
Starch-Pectin Matrices For Encapsulation Of Ascorbic Acid, Yiwei Liu
Department of Food Science and Technology: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
Starch and pectin are two food-grade carbohydrates widely utilized in the food industry. Starch and pectin polymers have been investigated in encapsulating functional food ingredients and in pharmaceutical applications. Resistance to enzyme hydrolysis, differential solubilities, depending on the pH, and the ability to ‘protect’ unstable molecules are considered some of the beneficial properties of starch and pectin polymers, for encapsulation applications. Food ingredients could be delivered in a controlled manner to a specific target by encapsulating in micro-scale particles, i. e., microencapsulation. Two studies were conducted to investigate the ability of selected starch-pectin blends in microencapsulating ascorbic acid (vitamin C) …

Astaxanthin, the “king of carotenoids” has been widely used as an animal feed additive for several decades, mainly in the aquaculture industry. Recent studies have led to its emergence as a potent antioxidant available for human consumption. Traditionally it has been chemically synthesized, but the recent market interest has generated interests in producing it naturally via yeast (Phaffia rhodozyma) fermentation, or algal (Haematococcus pluvialis) induction. This work aims to compare these production processes and their impact on the economical, environmental, and societal scale. We also look at the attempts of increasing production yields by altering various …
A Study On Facility Planning Using Discrete Event Simulation: Case Study Of A Grain Delivery Terminal., Sarah M. Asio
A Study On Facility Planning Using Discrete Event Simulation: Case Study Of A Grain Delivery Terminal., Sarah M. Asio
Department of Industrial and Management Systems Engineering: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
The application of traditional approaches to the design of efficient facilities can be tedious and time consuming when uncertainty and a number of constraints exist. Queuing models and mathematical programming techniques are not able to capture the complex interaction between resources, the environment and space constraints for dynamic stochastic processes. In the following study discrete event simulation is applied to the facility planning process for a grain delivery terminal. The discrete event simulation approach has been applied to studies such as capacity planning and facility layout for a gasoline station and evaluating the resource requirements for a manufacturing facility. To …
