EFFECT OF ROASTING ON TOTAL POLYPHENOL CONTENT, ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY, AND OIL COMPOSITION OF Tapirira mexicana March. SEEDS
Tapirira mexicana March. is a native species of Mexico whose seeds are traditionally consumed in communities of Veracruz, either raw or roasted. The present study evaluated the effect of traditional roasting on the total polyphenol content, antioxidant activity, and fatty acid composition of the oil extracted from its seeds. The seeds were subjected to a controlled step-drying and roasting process at 80 °C, followed by cold oil extraction. Total polyphenol content was analyzed using the Folin-Ciocalteu method, and antioxidant activity was assessed using the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) reagent. Lipid composition was analyzed by gas chromatography. Results showed a significant increase (p < 0.05) in total polyphenol content (1 ± 0.04 mg GAE g-1) and antioxidant activity (5.22 ± 0.02 µmol TE g-1) in roasted seeds compared to non-roasted seeds. No statistically significant differences were observed in fatty acid composition. The lipid profile was dominated by oleic, linoleic, palmitic, and stearic acids, in proportions comparable to those reported for other edible seeds. These findings suggest that roasting can improve the bioavailability of phenolic compounds without affecting the nutritional value of the oil. This seed represents a potential source of bioactive compounds with possible applications as a functional food. Further studies, including the analysis of volatile compounds, individual phenolics, and different roasting conditions, are recommended to better assess its nutraceutical potential.

Effects of organic and conventional management on morphophysiological parameters and antioxidant profile of tomato fruits (Solanum lycopersicum L.), ‘Big Río’ variety
Mexico is one of the main tomato-producing countries and relies heavily on synthetic chemical fertilizers, whose negative effects within and beyond production systems have already been described. In this context, organic agriculture offers an alternative to reduce chemical fertilizer use. The objective of the present study was to evaluate two management systems, organic and conventional, in terms of plant morphophysiological parameters, yield, and the antioxidant profile of fruits of the ‘Big Río’ variety of Solanum lycopersicum L. The study was carried out under greenhouse conditions. The treatments (organic and conventional fertilization) were distributed in a completely randomized design with fifty replications, and correlation matrices were established between plant morphological variables and fruit quality and color parameters. Organic fertilization significantly (p ≤ 0.001) favored plant morphological development, except for plant height (p ≥ 0.05). In addition, the total number of flowers and fruits increased by 89.7 % and 94.95 %, respectively, in organically fertilized plants, whereas fruit quality improved in terms of acidity, ascorbic acid content, and lycopene content by 20.8 %, 22.8 %, and 64.72 %, respectively, under the organic production system. Organic management in tomato production enhances the fruit's nutraceutical and functional characteristics while favorably influencing plant morphology, except for plant height.

Physicochemical characterization and antioxidant compounds of four coconut water varieties from Nautla, Veracruz
Coconut water is a popular, natural, and hydrating beverage highly valued in tropical regions; however, there is currently a lack of technical data regarding coconut varieties cultivated in Veracruz, Mexico. Therefore, this study aimed to characterize the physicochemical parameters and antioxidant capacity of four coconut varieties from Nautla, Veracruz: Enana Amarilla (EAM), Alta Pacífico Verde (APV), Rojo Campechano (RCA) and Colimeña (COL) and the following variables were analyzed. The parameters evaluated included titratable acidity, total sugars, minerals, antioxidant activity (DPPH and FRAP), total polyphenols, total flavonoids, and ascorbic acid. The results indicated lower acidity levels in EAM and RCA, and lower sugar content in EAM, APV, and RCA. Regarding mineral content, the highest concentrations of Ca were observed in EAM, APV, and COL; Mg in APV and COL; and Na in APV. As for antioxidant activity, RCA, EAM, and APV yielded the highest concentrations via the DPPH assay, whereas RCA and EAM showed the highest activity using the FRAP method. In terms of total polyphenols, RCA exhibited the highest concentration. The highest total flavonoid content was found in RCA, EAM, and APV, while EAM presented the highest ascorbic acid levels. These findings provide a basis for proposing specific alternatives for each variety, adding value to coconut water as a functional hydration beverage with low caloric content and a significant bioactive compound profile.

Sales de lantánidos promueven crecimiento y tolerancia a Fusarium oxysporum en plántulas de pepino (Cucumis sativus L. var. Poinsett)
Introducción. El pepino (Cucumis sativus L.) es una hortaliza de alto valor económico; sin embargo, diversas enfermedades fitopatógenas interfieran en procesos fisiológicos esenciales para la producción (Lamichhane et al., 2017), entre ellas la Fusarium oxysporum, un hongo filamentoso responsable del marchitamiento vascular en almácigos (Kumar et al., 2018). Ante esta problemática, el uso de los elementos de tierras raras cobra interés por su capacidad de generar efectos inhibitorios de patógenos y activa mecanismos de defensas en plantas (Contreras-Martínez et al., 2026). Objetivo. Evaluar el efecto de lantano y gadolinio en plántulas de pepino frente a Fusarium oxysporum. Métodos. Se estableció un diseño completamente al azar con ocho tratamientos: control negativo, control infectado, LaCl₃ (50, 75 y 100 µM) y GdCl₃ (50, 75 y 100 µM) con 10 repeticiones. Las semillas de pepino (variedad Poinsett) se desinfectaron y pretrataron 24 h con las soluciones salinas, para luego sembrarse en peat moss inoculado con F. oxysporum (1×10⁷ conidios/mL). Se evaluaron porcentaje de emergencia y variables de crecimiento durante 48 días, confirmando la patogenicidad mediante los postulados de Koch. Resultados y discusión. La emergencia inició a los cuatro días; a los 17 días el tratamiento con 75 µM de LaCl₃ presentó los mayores porcentajes de emergencia; a los 48 días mostró la mayor altura de planta, diámetro de tallo y longitud de raíz (p ≤ 0.05), mientras que los tratamientos con GdCl₃ fueron inferiores al control infectado. Estos resultados, indican que bajas concentraciones de lantano promueven crecimiento vegetal y señalan un efecto hormético, mientras gadolinio puede generar efectos inhibitorios (Pang et al., 2019; Liu et al., 2021); asimismo los postulados de Koch reafirmaron la infección por el patógeno. Conclusión. El LaCl3 promovió el crecimiento y tolerancia a Fusarium oxysporum, mientras que GdCl3 se asoció a efectos inhibitorios.

Evolutionary Linear Discriminant Projection for Sensory Analysis of Tortillas Fortified with Chilacayote Powder
Chilacayote (Cucurbita ficifolia Bouché) is recognized as a rich source of nutrients and bioactive compounds, making it a promising ingredient for fortifying staple foods such as corn tortillas. While fortification can improve nutritional properties, it may also alter sensory characteristics that determine consumer acceptance. Therefore, a rigorous and structurally grounded assessment of these sensory modifications is required. In this study, sensory evaluations were conducted with regular tortilla consumers using Check-All-That-Apply (CATA) questionnaires to examine six attributes (color, smell, texture, taste, mouthfeel, and aftertaste) in tortillas made with nixtamalized dough and commercial flour, both with and without chilacayote powder. Then, a structured framework for dimensionality reduction and sensory profile identification of tortillas is proposed. In this framework, three classical feature extraction methods (Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), and a combination of both (PCA+LDA)) were compared with an evolutionary discriminant approach (Differential Evolutionary Linear Discriminant Analysis for Feature Extraction and Visualization (DE-)). The projection quality of these methods was evaluated using a multi-scale separability index that integrates global, semi-global, and local metrics, and the experiments were conducted considering global and attribute-based analyses. Beyond quantitative discrimination, the optimized projections enabled a geometric interpretation that allows the identification of sensory profiles for the tortilla variants. The proposed methodology bridges evolutionary optimization, structural separability assessment, and interpretable sensory characterization, offering a robust and adaptable strategy for multivariate food analysis and other complex discrimination problems and insights into the sensory impact of chilacayote fortification for the development of nutritionally enhanced tortillas that preserve consumer appeal.- 17 May 2026

Efecto de la administración del aceite de Tapirira mexicana en el funcionamiento hepático en la rata Wistar
En México, las semillas forman parte de la dieta tradicional desde épocas prehispánicas, sin embargo, por los hábitos y preferencias alimentarias actuales ha disminuido su consumo. Esto ha ocasionado que especies comestibles como la Tapirira mexicana no se incluyan dentro de la alimentación. Se ha encontrado que el aceite presente en dichas semillas contiene ácidos grasos importantes como oleico y linoleico, no obstante, se desconoce el efecto que su consumo pueda generar en el organismo. Es así que el objetivo de este estudio es evaluar el efecto in vivo de la administración del aceite de la semilla sobre el funcionamiento hepático en la rata, mediante el prensado del aceite de las semillas tostadas. Se utilizaron 24 ratas macho Wistar de 200 g divididas en cuatro grupos (n = 6): control, dosis baja (750 mg de aceite/kg), dosis media (1,500 mg de aceite/kg) y dosis alta (2,250 mg de aceite/kg). El aceite se administró durante 6 semanas por vía intragástrica. Al finalizar el periodo de experimentación, se colectó la sangre por punción cardiaca. Con el suero se determinaron proteínas totales y las enzimas gammaglutamil transferasa (GGT), ALT y fosfatasa alcalina. Los datos con distribución normal se analizaron mediante ANOVA unifactorial, seguido de la prueba post hoc Tukey. Para los datos no paramétricos se utilizó la prueba Kruskall-Wallis y una prueba Dunn-sidak. Los resultados indican que ninguno de los tratamientos modificó los parámetros de funcionamiento hepático, ya que se encontraron dentro del intervalo biológico de referencia establecido para rata. Se concluyó que la administración del aceite de T. mexicana no alteró las pruebas de funcionamiento hepático en las ratas, por lo que, bajo estas condiciones, el consumo de las semillas es seguro y representa una alternativa nutritiva y local para la población.

Efecto inhibitorio de dos elementos de tierras raras sobre el crecimiento de tres especies del género Fusarium
La agricultura enfrenta pérdidas económicas considerables debido a los hongos fitopatógenos, principalmente del género Fusarium, que afectan diversas hortalizas y cultivos de importancia económica. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar el efecto de dos elementos de tierras raras (ETR) sobre el desarrollo y la velocidad de propagación de tres especies del género Fusarium, en cultivo in vitro. Se realizó un diseño experimental completamente al azar con 10 tratamientos: T1 (control negativo-0 μM), T2 (25 μM LaCl3), T3 (50 μM LaCl3), T4 (75 μM LaCl3), T5 (100 μM LaCl3), T6 (25 μM GdCl3), T7 (50 μM GdCl3), T8 (75 μM GdCl3), T9 (100 μM GdCl3) y T10 (control positivo-propiconazol), cada uno con cinco réplicas, utilizando el método medio envenenado. Durante siete días se evaluó el crecimiento micelial, tasa de inhibición y número de conidios. El análisis estadístico mostró diferencias significativas en todas las variables. Los tratamientos de ETR (T8, T9) mostraron la mayor inhibición micelial y disminución de conidios, aunque el tratamiento T10 con propiconazol fue más efectivo, pero este ha sido reportado como carcinógeno. Se concluye que las tierras raras generan un efecto inhibidor, por lo que se recomienda continuar evaluando concentraciones mayores y su efecto en plantas.

Classification of Common Bean Landraces of Three Species Using a Neuroevolutionary Approach with Probabilistic Color Characterization
The common bean is a widely cultivated food source. Many domesticated species of common bean varieties, known as landraces, are cultivated in Mexico by local farmers, exhibiting various colorations and seed mixtures as part of agricultural practices. In this work, we propose a methodology for classifying bean landrace samples using three two-dimensional histograms with data in the CIE L*a*b* color space while additionally integrating chroma (C*) and hue (h°) to develop a new proposal from histograms, employing deep learning for the classification task. The results indicate that utilizing three histograms based on L*, C*, and h° brings an average accuracy of 85.74 ± 2.37 compared to three histograms using L*, a*, and b*, which reported an average accuracy of 82.22 ± 2.84. In conclusion, the new color characterization approach presents a viable solution for classifying common bean landraces of both homogeneous and heterogeneous colors.
