Adherence to a healthy diet offers a valuable intervention to compete against the increasing cases of ocular diseases worldwide, such as dry eye disorders, myopia progression, cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, or age macular degeneration. Certain amounts of micronutrients must be daily provided for proper functioning of the visual system, such as vitamins, carotenoids, trace metals and omega-3 fatty acids. Among natural foods, the following have to be considered for boosting eye/vision health: fish, meat, eggs, nuts, legumes, citrus fruits, nuts, leafy green vegetables, orange-colored fruits/vegetables, olives-olive oil, and dairy products.

Enhancing Bioactive Antioxidants’ Extraction from “Horchata de Chufa” By-Products
2018
During the production of a traditional drink produced from the tubers of Cyperus esculentus L. also known as “horchata de chufa,” a high quantity of by-products are generated. These by-products are rich with valuable biological compounds, hence, there is a need to report their extraction conditions for further use in food production as raw materials. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate and improve the conventional extraction process, applied for recovery of phenolic compounds, total flavonoids, and total antioxidant capacity from the by-products. Independent variables for extraction were: (i) Solvent type (mixtures of ethanol-water (v/v) at 0%, 25% and 50%)

Uso de procesos convencionales e innovadores para la valorización de los subproductos de la horchata
2019
La “Horchata de chufa" o más comúnmente conocida como “Horchata” es una bebida tradicional, no alcohólica, dulce y de aspecto blanquecino obtenida a partir de tubérculos de chufa (Cyperus esculentus L. var. Sativus Boeck) consumida fundamentalmente en la Comunidad Valenciana durante la época de verano, aunque en los últimos años ha experimentado un crecimiento en su consumo tanto a nivel español como en el resto del mundo. Durante el proceso de elaboración de la “Horchata” se producen una gran cantidad de residuos y subproductos tanto sólidos como líquidos, donde los sólidos pueden representar hasta el 60% del material vegetal. Estos subproductos se han considerado tradicionalmente como des…
