“…This is the most abundant saturated fatty acid in foods and the human body, and it could be synthesized endogenously via de novo lipogenesis [49]. Palmitic acid plays a key role in many physiological processes, but it should also be noted that it can also have adverse health effects, especially when combined with other risk factors such as heart disease and a high predisposition to cancer development [49][50][51].…”

Abstract. Wild blackberries (Rubus) are fruits that grow in inaccessible high mountain areas, which has made it difficult to study their chemical and nutritional composition. The objective of this research was to evaluate the nutritional composition and the macro- and micro-nutrient profile of wild species of fruits of the Rubus genus collected in Sinaloa, Mexico. Botanical samples of wild Rubus were identified and deposited in the Herbarium of the Institute of Biology of the UNAM. Subsequently, the chemical composition the profile of carbohydrates, lipids and minerals were evaluated. Wild Rubus species were identified as R. liebmannii, R. coriifolius and R. palmeri. In addition, it was found that R. liebmannii is the first time it has been recorded for the state of Sinaloa. Likewise, the results show that carbohydrates represent the largest proportion of the macro-components (85 %, glucose and fructose); they have a high content of fatty acids (such as linolenic acid) and are rich sources of minerals (such as K, Ca and Mg). The results of this research could be relevant to be used in the genetic improvement of commercial species that currently exist in the market. Resumen. Las zarzamoras silvestres (Rubus) son frutos que se desarrollan en zonas de alta montaña poco accesibles, lo que ha dificultado el estudio de su composición química y nutricional. El objetivo de la presente investigación fue evaluar la composición nutricional y el perfil de macro y micronutrientes de especies silvestres de frutos del género Rubus colectadas en Sinaloa, México. Muestras botánicas de Rubus silvestres fueron identificadas y depositadas en el Herbario del Insituto de Biología de la UNAM. Posteriormente se les evaluó la composicón química, el perfil de perfil de carbohidratos, lípidos y minerales. Las especies silvestres de Rubus fueron identificadas como Rubus liebmannii, Rubus coriifolius y Rubus palmeri. Además, se encontró que Rubus liebmannii, es la primera vez que se registra para el estado de Sinaloa. Asimismo, los resultados muestran que los carbohidratos representan la mayor proporción de los macro-componentes (85 %, glucosa y fructosa); tiene un alto contenido de ácidos grasos (como ácido linolénico) y son fuentes ricas de minerales (como K, Ca y Mg). Los resultados de la presente investigación podrían ser de relevancia para ser utilizados en el mejoramiento genético de especies comerciales que actualmente existen en el mercado.

The confluence of three key fields, namely, cosmetics, pharmaceutics, and the chemistry of cosmetic items with the human body system, is known as cosmeceutical chemistry. The most remarkable logical knowledge and innovation are incorporated into cosmetology, including science, pharmacology, subatomic physics and nervous system science, etc. Cosmetics are items created to beautify, protect, and change the appearance of our bodies' external features. Water, emulsifiers, preservatives, thickeners, moisturizing agents, colors, and perfumes are the main components found in the majority of cosmetics. Ingredients may be synthetic or naturally occurring, but how they may affect our health mostly depends on the chemical substances they are made of. The concentrations of potentially harmful compounds present in cosmetics are thought to be too low to endanger human health. Nowadays, various types of cosmetics are available in the market such as lotions, lipstick, colognes, nail paints, and other products. After using the base cream, various cosmetics, such as face powder, provide skin luster. To achieve detergency, wetting, emulsifying, re-coloring, and moderating effects, cosmetic fixings/excipients are used. Some unfriendly synthetic reactions in the preparation of cosmetics cause serious dangerous effects on people and the environment. The usage of several cosmetics has restorative effects. Once more, each population has a specific makeup of cosmetic users. The distinction between cosmetic and medical research is becoming increasingly blurred as a result of this growing application of science to beauty. Leading cosmetic companies' laboratories conduct cutting-edge research in areas like grid science, cell reinforcements, and mature forms. Their manufacturing, marketing, and delivery should all be subject to proper rules and regulations in addition to pricing.
