The oil of debittered and dehulled grains from two Andean lupins (Lupinus mutabilis) from Peru, Andenes and Común,was extracted by expeller press. The extraction yield and the proximal composition of both varieties were assessed. The oil and the cake, as well as the defatted flour from the variety with the highest extraction yield, werecharacterised for physico-chemical properties, total polyphenol content and antioxidant capacity. The oil shelf-life at 25 °C was extrapolated by Rancimat test. Andenes presented an oil yield of 22.1% (vs. 18.4% of Común),CIELAB colour coordinates of L* = 36.5, a* = 2.2, b* = 20, refractive index and density at 25ºC of 1.469 and 0.903 g/mL,acid number of 3.2 mg KOH/g, free fatty acids content of 1.6%, peroxide number of 2.7 meqO2/kg, p-anisidine number of 1.3, unsaponificable content of 58%, total antioxidant capacity 21.4 μmol TE/g and total polyphenol content of 7.0 mg AGE/100 g. The predominant fatty acid, tocopherol and phytosterol in the oil were oleic acid (56.2%), γ-tocopherol (555 mg/kg) and β-sitosterol (41900 mg/100 g), respectively. The oil shelf-life at 25 ºC was 2.7 years. The Lupinus mutabilis oil extracted by expeller presented an acceptable quality with a lower environmental negative impact than the oils obtained by solvent extraction.
The global pursuit of sustainable development has intensified the need to integrate Circular Economy (CE), Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and Industry 4.0 (I4.0) as mutually reinforcing frameworks. This study explores the scientific evolution and interconnections among these pillars through a dual approach: (i) a scientometric analysis using CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and Bibliometrix in RStudio (2024.12.1+563), and (ii) a targeted mini-review of high-impact literature. A dataset of 478 Scopus-indexed articles (2016–2024) was analyzed, revealing CE and I4.0 as key technological and strategic enablers of the SDGs—particularly SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure), and SDG 13 (Climate Action). Moreover, the results underscore an increasing role of enabling digital technologies—such as IoT, blockchain, and big data—in shaping sustainable production systems. An important insight from this work is the growing relevance of policy frameworks as catalysts for implementing CE and I4.0 strategies, especially within national and international sustainability agendas. However, the low citation frequency of “policy” as a keyword indicates a gap in the literature that merits further exploration. Future research is encouraged to conduct in-depth bibliometric studies focused on sustainability-related policies, including regulations that operationalize CE and I4.0 to support SDG achievement. This study contributes a comprehensive overview of emerging research trends, identifies strategic knowledge gaps, and highlights the need for cohesive governance mechanisms to accelerate the digital–ecological transition.
Cocoa is used in the manufacturing of different products. Fermenting microorganisms such as yeast and bacteria use the high nutrient content of cocoa. This research evaluated physicochemical properties and microbial group behavior of fresh cocoa bean and four treatments to compare among them (A, A-farmer, B, and B-farmer). Moisture content, mold and yeast count, and Salmonella were determined in fresh cocoa beans and treatments. The results of fresh cocoa beans were moisture content of 56.30 ± 0.02 % and microbiological count below control. Treatments results were moisture content of 3.10 ± 0.02 %, 10.30 ± 0.20 %, 4.80 ± 0.00 %, and 11.40 ± 0.20 % (p ≤ 0.05), mold and yeast count were statistically similar (p > 0.05). Salmonella was not detected in any of the treatments. These findings indicate that regardless of post-harvest process, there is no fungal contamination in cocoa when carrying out good manufacturing practices.
El objetivo fue evaluar la inclusión de harina quinua Altiplano cocida (HQA), fibra soluble del endospermo de tara (FST) e insoluble de hojas de agave (FIA) sobre propiedades sensoriales de galletas y su respuesta fisiológica en ratas. Se realizó la evaluación sensorial con participación de consumidores mediante prueba hedónica con escala no estructurada. Para la evaluación biológica, se utilizó 20 ratas Holtzman que recibieron durante 30 días las dietas conteniendo galletas con: T1 = harina de trigo, T2 = 15% HQA, T3 = 2,85% FST + 2,85% FIA, T4 = 15% HQA + 2,85% FST + 2,85% FIA. Se realizó la determinación de valor biológico aparente (VBA) e indicadores somáticos (índice de masa corporal, índice de Lee, circunferencia torácica y abdominal). Los datos fueron analizados bajo Diseño Completamente Randomizado y para comparación de medias se utilizó la prueba de Tukey mediante el programa Minitab v.17.1.0. Las galletas que contenían quinua tuvieron mayor aceptabilidad (p < 0,05) comparadas a los otros tratamientos. No hubo diferencias (p > 0,05) entre los tratamientos para VBA e indicadores somáticos. Las galletas con inclusión de quinua Altiplano cocida de forma independiente o combinada poseen mayor digestibilidad aparente y aceptabilidad por los consumidores; además, todos los tratamientos mantuvieron una adecuada respuesta fisiológica en ratas.
