Comprehensive Characterization of Oils and Fats of Six Species from the Colombian Amazon Region with Industrial Potential.

The Colombian Amazon is a megadiverse region with high potential for commercial use in the pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic industries, constantly expanding and looking for new alternatives from natural resources; unfortunately, few characterization reports of its profitable non-timber species in Colombia have been conducted. This work aimed to perform a comprehensive analysis of traditionally used species: (Andiroba), (Asai), (Miriti), (Murumuru), (Sacha Inchi), and H.Karst (Cacay).

Targeted Metabolite Profiling-Based Identification of Antifungal 5--Alkylresorcinols Occurring in Different Cereals against .

A rapid and convenient biochemometrics-based analysis of several cereal-derived extracts was used to identify -alkyl(enyl)resorcinols (AR) as antifungals against . Total AR content and liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC-MS)-based profiles were recorded for each extract, in addition to their antifungal activity, to help integrate these chemical and biological datasets by orthogonal partial least squares regression. In this study, we developed and used a micro-scale amended medium (MSAM) assay to evaluate the in vitro mycelial growth inhibition at low amounts of extracts.

Exploitation of the complexation reaction of ortho-dihydroxylated anthocyanins with aluminum(III) for their quantitative spectrophotometric determination in edible sources.

Anthocyanins are natural pigments known for their color and antioxidant activity. These properties allow their use in various fields, including food and pharmaceutical ones. Quantitative determination of anthocyanins had been performed by non-specific methods that limit the accuracy and reliability of the results.
