Caracterización de acelga fresca de Santiago del Estero (Argentina). Comparación del contenido de nutrientes en hoja y tallo. Evaluación de los carotenoides presentes

Nutritional characterization of Moringa oleifera leaves, seeds, husks and flowers from two regions of Mexico

“…It is noteworthy that the protein content of MO leaves from Sonora and Guerrero is higher than the values reported in chard (Beta vulgaris subsp.) (2.9%)(Macías de Costa et al, 2003) or edible algae (5 to 13%)(Sánchez-Machado et al, 2004).Moringa oleifera seeds showed a protein content of 38.55% (Sonora) and 38.57% (Guerrero); these values are similar to those reported byAmaglo et al (2010) (35.7%) andVaknin and Mishal (2017) (37.59%). However, the protein content of MO seeds from this study differs from the 20.66% value reported by…”

Influence of temperature on the drying kinetics, physicochemical properties, and antioxidant capacity of Aloe Vera (Aloe Barbadensis Miller) gel

“…However, all rehydrated samples showed a considerable decrease in mineral content with respect to the fresh samples, due mainly to differences in solubility and the leaching of inorganic compounds into the rehydration water (Sablani, 2006). Nevertheless, the mineral content may vary widely among vegetables, depending on several factors such as ripeness, variety, soil type, the use of fertilizers, intensity and exposure time to sunlight, temperature, rain, and cultivation area (Costa et al, 2003;García-Hernández et al, 2006). The level of Ca was high in all samples; this is important for humans given its role in bone and tooth development (Özcan and Haciseferogullari, 2007).…”

Effect of high hydrostatic pressure on functional properties and quality characteristics of Aloe vera gel (Aloe barbadensis Miller)

“…Nevertheless, the mineral content may vary widely among vegetables, depending on several factors such as ripeness, variety, soil type, the use of fertilizers, intensity and exposure time to sunlight, temperature, rain, and cultivation area (Costa et al, 2003;García-Hernández et al, 2006). García-Hernández et al (2006) reported similar results for the mineral content of Aloe vera; moreover, they suggested that the plant has a greater efficiency in terms of these inorganic elements, because plants grown in nutrient-rich soils do not tend to accumulate these minerals in their leaves.…”
