The aim of the study was to characterize the gelling effect of candelilla wax (DW) using different types of cold-pressed vegetable oil (sunflower oil, olive oil, walnut oil, grape seed oil and hemp seed oil). The structuring of the oleogels was achieved by hot incorporation of oil with different percentages of carnauba wax, as follows: 3%, 5% and 11%. Characterization of the oleogels was done by determining the chemical and physical properties of the oleogels, the oil binding capacity and the texture of the oleoge...

Worldwide, bananas are commonly consumed. Due to this fact large amounts of banana peels waste are generated. Banana peels contain adequate amounts if starch. The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of vinegar obtained from banana peels in comparison with other types of commercial vinegar. Color, total dry extract, total titratable acidity, specific gravity, total soluble solids, antioxidant capacity and polyphenols content were determined on different types of vinegar. The analyzed samples were three ty...
