Objetivos: en este trabajo se busco mostrar la conveniencia de utilizar un nuevo metodo de analisis de la informacion derivada de un estudio de estabilidad acelerado. Metodos: la simulacion estadistica se utilizo para comparar dos estimadores de vida util propuestos basados en el modelo lineal mixto vs uno existente fundamentado en el modelo de regresion lineal simple segun la metodologia colombiana; se contemplo el efecto que podria tener la variabilidad inherente al proceso de fabricacion de un medicamento, considerando la variabilidad entre lote e intra lote, ademas, se utilizaron diferentes niveles de los factores que el investigador puede controlar en el estudio de estabilidad, como lo son el numero de lotes, el numero de tiempos de observacion y el numero de muestras por lote y por tiempo. Resultados: se determino que los dos estimadores propuestos permiten obtener estimaciones mucho menos sesgadas que las encontradas mediante el estimador clasico, asi mismo, se presento el comportamiento de las estimaciones en funcion de los componentes de varianza intrinsecos del estudio y la afectacion de los factores experimentales del mismo. Conclusiones: las estimaciones realizadas mediante modelos lineales mixtos presentan una exactitud mayor frente a las realizadas de manera tradicional, esta disminucion en el sesgo podria mejorar la productividad de las empresas farmaceuticas sin comprometer la salud publica.","PeriodicalId":23515,"journal":{"name":"Vitae-revista De La Facultad De Quimica Farmaceutica","volume":"104 1","pages":"80-90"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79008550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The importance given to this research line is a clear indicator of the interest of all of the agents implicated in promoting the introduction of innovative technologies. The goal is to implement new, fast, economical, analytical techniques, which constitute a real alternative to traditional control procedures. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of an electronic sensor based on the impedance spectroscopy technique for the characterization of hams during the post-salting step (8, 10, 12 and 14 weeks). Materials and methods: 60 hams from three different categories (fat, semi-fat and lean), were tray salted under the conditions of a company (xNaCl = 0.11 g/g dry matter). For each time, samples were first evaluated with the electronic method (non-destructive analysis) and then analytical determinations of: mass variation, moisture content, fat content, salt content and water activity were performed on each ham in different zones. The electric data were evaluated using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and regression with Partial Least Squares (PLS) through the analytical data. Results: The PCA analysis discriminated between the different evaluated zones. At eighth week 79.06% of the variance was explained and at tenth week, the 82.53%. No relation was observed for the different ham categories. The correlation between the impedance signal and the analytical determinations showed the best cross validation coefficient (R2CV) values for moisture content (0.75) and water activity (0.73). Conclusions: The impedance spectroscopy technique generated different signals between the zones of analysis during the first two post-salting times, eight and ten weeks, in which physicochemical differences were also observed as a consequence of the variation in the salt concentration between zones.","PeriodicalId":23515,"journal":{"name":"Vitae-revista De La Facultad De Quimica Farmaceutica","volume":"11 4 1","pages":"178-185"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82735673","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Asimismo, surge la iniciativa de promover el aprovechamiento de materias primas amilaceas de gran importancia socioeconomica en Colombia. Objetivo: Se evaluo el efecto del proceso de lintnerizacion sobre almidones de yuca y name, para valorar su posible aplicacion a nivel industrial. Metodos: Fue propuesto un proceso de modificacion quimica por hidrolisis acida en almidones nativos, variando la relacion acido clorhidrico: almidon (2, 4, 6% p/p) y el tiempo de reaccion (4, 6 y 8 horas). El grado de hidrolisis fue evaluado a traves de la produccion de equivalentes de dextrosa (ED). Espectroscopia de infrarrojo (FTIR), difraccion de rayos X y microscopia de barrido electronico (SEM), fueron utilizadas para determinar cambios estructurales y morfologicos en los granulos de almidon hidrolizados. El comportamiento de las pastas de almidon durante ciclos de calentamiento y enfriamiento, basados en un perfil de viscosidad (viscoamilograma). Ademas, se realizo un analisis de las propiedades funcionales de los almidones lintnerizados. Resultados: La concentracion de acido influyo significativamente (p<0.05) en el grado de hidrolisis de los almidones nativos de yuca y name. La variacion en las senales de absorbancia en los espectros de infrarrojo, debido al estiramiento de grupos funcionales O-H y C-H, permite inferir cambios en la estructura y enlaces de los granulos de almidon.

Conclusiones: El proceso de lintnerizacion disminuyo significativamente la viscosidad maxima, asociado a un aumento del grado de cristalinidad y disminucion del contenido de amilosa por hidrolisis acida. Los almidones lintnerizados alcanzan una mayor estabilidad durante el calentamiento y tienden a disminuir el proceso de retrogradacion.

Thus, the knowledge of the rheological and mechanical properties is important for product design, production, quality control, and for predicting shelf storage stability. Rheology studies can assist scientists in formulating optimal products (1). Conventionally, a single-point viscosity tests are widely used, but they not adequate in characterizing the full rheological profile of these materials, and thus, it is better to generate the full viscosity curves to capture a wide range of material responses (2). There are several tests conducted to characterize a material. The first one implies plotting viscosity as a function of a stress ramp at constant temperature and within a specific time interval. Usually, at low stresses viscosity might remain constant, and then a critical stress point is reached were viscosity decreases abruptly. The magnitude of the resulting slope confirms the shear sensitivity of the material (3). Another highly used plot involves the viscosity versus shear rate. Usually, at low shear rates viscosity remains constant and then it decreases steadily. Further, from the stress ramp test the minimum shear stress required to initiate flow (Yield stress) is determined. The higher the yield value, the more readily a dispersion will maintain particles in suspension with minimal sedimentation. However, a low yield stress might be useful for a product to improve the sensorial properties such as the ease of spreading onto a surface forming a short-term thin layer (4).","PeriodicalId":23515,"journal":{"name":"Vitae-revista De La Facultad De Quimica Farmaceutica","volume":"17 1","pages":"165-165"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73951748","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods : The effect of the concentration of the sweetener was determined (3.5; 5; 7.5 and 10% p/p) as well as the concentration of the wall material (2.5 and 5% p/p), on the morphology, capsules size, and encapsulation capacity. The double emulsion was prepared, the coacervate was formed, and then capsules were lyophilized. The morphology and capsule size were measured before and after lyophilization by optical microscopy. From Fourier´s infrared transformed spectrometry, encapsulation capacity was analyzed. Water activity and solubility were measured in lyophilized capsules. Results: Micro and nano capsules (minimum size of 1939 ± 0.74μm and 62.33 ± 6.65μm maximum) were obtained. Micrographs showed that the encapsulation technique used, allows obtaining dispersed stevia capsules and those of round and homogeneous morphology. The encapsulation capacity was 84.37 ± 4.04%. The minimum value of water activity was 0.49 ± 0.01 and 17.65 ± 0.91% of solubility. Conclusions: An increased in encapsulation capacity was obtained when the highest concentration of the wall material was used. The capsule diameter increased as the sweetener concentrations increased. The formulation to 5% (p/p) of stevia and 5% (p/p) in wall material was associated with better controlled release of the sweetener, which allows establishing subsequent applications in which the sweet taste is prolonged and the stevia bitter taste concealed.","PeriodicalId":23515,"journal":{"name":"Vitae-revista De La Facultad De Quimica Farmaceutica","volume":"7 1","pages":"167-177"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88191125","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Roots, flowers, fruits, leaves, or seeds could be obtained from i) industrial crops (food and non-food); ii) wild plants (non-agroindustrial development); or iii) agroindustrial wastes (byproducts obtained during harvesting, post-harvesting, and industrial processing). Each of these sources is associated with specific challenges and advantages in the botanical ingredient industry. For example, industrial crops provide the most homogeneous raw material, but the degree of novelty and innovation in the development of these ingredients could be limited. Conversely, wild plants are the best source of novel ingredients; however, they require a lot of time and money to develop. These increased expenditures normally emerge from bioprospecting studies and legal procedures, given that the inclusion of a new ingredient is required.
