Antimicrobial Activity of Essential Oil against and .

: essential oil (OEO) is safe, effective, multifunctional, and widely used. This study aimed to evaluate OEO's chemical composition and antimicrobial activity in vitro against and . : The composition of OEO was determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).

Exploring chemical properties of essential oils from citrus peels using green solvent.

The research explored the chemical characteristics of essential oils (EOs) extracted from the peels of four citrus fruits grown in northeastern Peru (lime, sweet lemon, mandarin and orange). The essential oils were extracted by hydrodistillation using a green solvent, and subsequently, their physicochemical profile, bioactive, heat capacity, and RAMAN mapping were determined; in addition, the volatile composition was determined by gas chromatography (GC-MS), and the main phenols by liquid chromatography (UHPLC). The results evidenced that sweet lemon and mandarin essential oils had higher antioxidant activity (1592.

Oxidative stability and physicochemical changes of dark chocolates with essential oils addition.

This research aimed to evaluate the oxidative stability and rheological properties of dark chocolates with the addition of essential oils (EO) of and . For this purpose, before the inclusion in chocolates, the EO were chemically characterized to identify the most important volatile compounds. We added essential oils of and to dark chocolates (cocoa 70%) at doses of 10, 12 and 14 μL per 500 g, separately.

First Report of Anthracnose Caused by on Mango () in Peru.

Mangoes ( L.) are one of the most important export fruits in Peru and anthracnose, caused by several species in the species complex (CGSC), is one of their main postharvest diseases (Alvarez et al. 2020).

Total Fat Content and Fatty Acid Profile of Fine-Aroma Cocoa From Northeastern Peru.

Cocoa beans are the raw material for the chocolate industry. In this study, the total fat contents and fatty acid profiles of fine-aroma cocoa beans of 30 cocoa ecotypes from northeastern Peru were evaluated. Results showed that SJJ-1 and ACJ-11 ecotypes from San Martin and Amazonas regions, respectively, presented highest percentages of total fat with an average of 30.

The antioxidant response of the liver of male Swiss mice raised on a AIN 93 or commercial diet.

Background: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are formed under natural physiological conditions and are thought to play an important role in many human diseases. A wide range of antioxidants are involved in cellular defense mechanisms against ROS, which can be generated in excess during stressful conditions, these include enzymes and non-enzymatic antioxidants. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant responses of mice to two diets control, commercial and the purified AIN 93 diet, commonly used in experiments with rodents.

Caffeic acid phenethyl ester reduces the activation of the nuclear factor κB pathway by high-fat diet-induced obesity in mice.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of CAPE on the insulin signaling and inflammatory pathway in the liver of mice with high fat diet induced obesity.

Material/methods: Swiss mice were fed with standard chow or high-fat diet for 12-week. After the eighth week, animals in the HFD group with serum glucose levels higher than 200 mg/dL were divided into two groups, HFD and HFD receiving 30 mg/kg of CAPE for 4 weeks.
