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).

Study of the physicochemical characteristics, antimicrobial activity, and in vitro multiplication of wild blackberry species from the Peruvian highlands.

The Peruvian Andes are the natural habitat of several wild blackberry species that are little known and exploited due to the lack of technological and scientific development to support their agricultural potential. In this context, a study was conducted to understand the physicochemical composition, bioactive compounds, antimicrobial activity, and in vitro multiplication of four wild blackberry (Rubus sp.) species from the northern Peruvian highlands.

Changes in bioactive compounds during fermentation of cocoa () harvested in Amazonas-Peru.

Cocoa () is the main raw material for the production of chocolate; it is considered the food of the gods, as it possesses a diversity of bioactive compounds beneficial to human health. The abundance of bioactive compounds, among others, is conditioned by the post-harvest processing of cocoa beans, and fermentation is a major step in this regard. Consequently, this research evaluated the changes in phenolic compounds and methylxanthines occurred in the fermentation of Criollo and CCN-51 cocoa beans, varieties of great commercial interest for the cocoa-growing areas of Peru.
