El objetivo de este trabajo fue utilizar nopal fresco en la formulación de panqués para incrementar su contenido de fibra dietética y calcio. Se desarrollaron cinco formulaciones de panqués utilizando nopal fresco (Opuntia amyclaea Tenore), 4 con sucralosa (una testigo sin nopal) y una con azúcar y nopal. Se evaluaron sensorialmente por 60 jueces no entrenados mediante la prueba de preferencia, utilizando una escala hedónica del 1 al 9. Se les determinó el contenido de proteína (Nx6.25), humedad, cenizas, lípidos, hidratos de carbono, fibra dietética total, calcio y fósforo por los métodos de la AOAC, (1990). Los resultados revelaron contenidos de proteínas (Nx6.25) entre 9.54 y 10.08, de humedad entre 35.75 y 40.00, de cenizas, 2.29 g/100 g y 2.44 g/100 g peso húmedo. La evaluación sensorial mostró una buena aceptación, los contenidos de fibra dietética total estuvieron entre 8.27 % y 10.43 % y los de calcio entre 0.27 y 0.375 g/100 g. El valor calórico fue de 216.02 kcal a 225.68 kcal kJ/100 g de panqué, aproximadamente 50 % menos que los que se ofrecen en el mercado. Por su alto contenido de fibra y calcio, ausencia de azúcar y bajo valor calórico estos productos podrían ser una opción saludable para personas diabéticas y obesas.
Effluents from the leather processing generally are discharged into rivers or are used to irrigate farmland. The biogas production from the digestion of sludge produced could be used as alternative sources for energy and power generation. A study was carried out to examine the effects of various electron acceptor amendments on biogas production from Mexican tannery sludge. Two bench scale experiments were performed: The first experiment used different electron acceptors (nitrate, iron and sulfate) and three different levels for each variable (4.5, 9.0 and 13.5 mg/mL); in the second only urea was used as a nitrogen source with three carbon/nitrogen ratios (6.0, 8.0 and 11). It was found that the reactors with nitrate as electron acceptor (4.5 mg/mL) generated the most biogas (200 mL of biogas accumulated in 25 days). Similarly, the reactors with the lower ratio of carbon/nitrogen (6.0) produced larger biogas production (131.50 ± 19.1 mL of biogas) in a shorter period of time (9 days). The results also showed that the addition of glucose did not significantly influence the production of biogas.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
