Propiedades fisicoquímicas del aceite de semillas de Jatropha curcas de poblaciones silvestres en México

NIDIA ARAIZA LIZARDE MIGUEL ANGEL ANGULO ESCALANTE TEODORO REYNOSO GRANADOS MARIA MAGDALENA ORTEGA NIEBLAS Lilia Alcaráz Meléndez Pedro Cruz Hernández (2015, [Artículo])

"Existe la necesidad de estudiar fuentes renovables de energía a partir de plantas oleaginosas con este potencial. La semilla de Jatropha curca se caracteriza por su alto contenido de aceite. En México solo existen estudios enfocados en evaluar las propie-dades fisicoquímicas del aceite de J. curcas silvestre y cultivada en la región sur. El objetivo de este trabajo, fue evaluar las propiedades fisicoquímicas del aceite de J. curcas silvestre en tres ecotipos del estado de Sinaloa (noroeste de México) y su aplicación en la elaboración de biodiesel. Los resultados obtenidos fueron que el contenido de aceite del germen fue de 52 a 56%. La viscosidad, densidad específica, índice de acidez, peróxido, yodo y refracción no mostraron diferencias significativas en las semillas colectadas en los tres ecotipos en estudio. Los ácidos grasos saturados más abundantes fueron el palmítico (4 a 6%) y esteárico (3 a 4%). Los ácidos grasos insaturados más abundantes fueron el oleico (44 a 46%) y linoleico (42 a 44%). Las características fisicoquímicas del aceite de J. curcas de Sinaloa son similares a las del sur de México y otros países, esto sugiere que el germoplasma del noroeste del país podría ser considerado para su conservación, aprovechamiento racional y producción de biodiesel."

"The need for studying sources of renewable energy is important starting from potential oleaginous plants. Jatropha curcas seed is characterized by its high oil content. In Mexico studies are focused on evaluating the physicochemical properties of J. curcas oil in wild plants cultivated in the southern region. The objective of this study was to evaluate these properties in three ecotypes of wild J. curcas of Sinaloa and their oil application in biodiesel production. The oil content of the germ was found to be 52 to 56%. Viscosity, density, acidity index, peroxide, iodine, and refraction showed no signif-icant differences in the seeds collected from the three ecotypes in our study. The most abundant saturated fatty acids were palmitic (4 to 6%) and stearic (3 to 4%). The most abundant unsaturated fatty acids were oleic (44 to 46%) and linoleic (42 to 44%). Physi-cochemical characteristics of J. curcas oil of Sinaloa specimens are similar to those of southern Mexico and other countries, which suggest that the germplasm of the north-western part of the country could be considered for conservation, rational utilization, and biodiesel production."

Leveraging the self-heating effect of ntc thermistor to detect its minimum coverage by a dispensed paste in the mass production process of temperature sensors

Saúl Alejandro Rodríguez Jiménez LEONOR ADRIANA CARDENAS ROBLEDO (2023, [Artículo])

This paper develops a device capable of confirming the minimum coverage area on a thermistor by a thermal paste dispensed and cured in the manufacturing process of Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) temperature sensors to provide the required fixation in the presence of mechanical shock conditions. Such a device leverages the thermistor’s self-heating effect and the thermal conductivity of the paste to read the voltage drop from the sensor, which translates into paste coverage area. The methodology follows a synthesized procedure to develop equipment and processes, considering an early phase for concept confirmation to demonstrate the feasibility of the device development. In a later phase, the optimal parameters are calculated and set to the device for delivering the corresponding classification of the sensors during the test. Once launched in production, the device demonstrates high effectiveness in screening out the sensors with rejectable paste coverage area on the thermistor.

Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria Improve Growth and Fruit Quality of Cucumber under Greenhouse Conditions

GERARDO ZAPATA SIFUENTES Luis Guillermo Hernández Montiel Jorge Sáenz Mata Manuel Fortis Hernández EDUARDO BLANCO CONTRERAS ROBERTO GREGORIO CHIQUITO CONTRERAS Pablo Preciado Rangel (2022, [Artículo])

"Cucumber fruit is rich in fiber, carbohydrates, protein, magnesium, iron, vitamin B, vitamin C, flavonoids, phenolic compounds, and antioxidants. Agrochemical-based production of cucumber has tripled yields; however, excessive synthetic fertilization has caused problems in the accumulation of salts in the soil and has increased production costs. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of three strains of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) on cucumber fruit growth and quality under greenhouse conditions. The rhizobacteria Pseudomonas paralactis (KBendo6p7), Sinorhizobium meliloti (KBecto9p6), and Acinetobacter radioresistens (KBendo3p1) was adjusted to 1 × 108 CFU mL−1 . The results indicated that the inoculation with PGPR improved plant height, stem diameter, root length, secondary roots, biomass, fruit size, fruit diameter, and yield, as well as nutraceutical quality and antioxidant capacity, significantly increasing the response of plants inoculated with A. radioresistens and S. meliloti in comparison to the control. In sum, our findings showed the potential functions of the use of beneficial bacteria such as PGPR for crop production to reduce costs, decrease pollution, and achieve world food safety and security."
