Nutrients retention in functional beef burgers with especial emphasis on lipid profile

The true retention values of nutrients, with particular reference to fatty acids of dietary importance, were investigated in burgers with none or half of the pork backfat replaced with soybean oil ?healthier burgers (HB)- added with 0g/kg, 5g/kg, 10g/kg and 20g/kg of dry soybean sprouts (DSS) as additive. A multivariate analysis was applied in order to detect the main fatty acids to characterize the finished product. Cooking yield of samples increased with the amount DSS incorporated, meaning that this bulking agent improved retention of water and fat in the matrix. The higher concentration of additive the higher the protein and total fat retention. Respect to fatty acid profile in samples incorporated with 5g/kg, 10g/kg of DSS the loss of fat ?specially saturated fatty acids (SFA) - improved the ratio between polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and SFA. Also analyses of atherogenic and thrombogenic indices indicate that 10g/kg DSS presents the lower values for these parameters. Multivariate analysis shown that fatty acid descriptors with more contribution to variability of total data were miristic, palmitic, linoleic and linolenic fatty acid.Fil: Romero, Mara Cristina.

La articulación jurídica de las relaciones entre la UE y el Mercosur

El instrumento jurídico que marca al día de hoy las relaciones entre los dos bloques regionales es el Acuerdo Marco de cooperación celebrado entre la CE y sus Estados miembros, de una parte, y el Mercosur, con sus Estados partes, de otra l. Por tanto, la caracterización de este texto jurídico es imprescindible para describir el grado de conexión entre la UE y el Mercosu

Regional integration processes and the social dimension of globalization : the European experience: some reflections about its implementation in Latin-America

The European Union is firmly committed to projecting its social agenda externally. In this vein, the need to improve social cohesion in developing countries has been repeatedly emphasized by the European Union at the multilateral as well as at the bilateral level. At the multilateral level the intention on the part of the European Union to link the Lisbon Strategy to the Copenhagen process, implemented under the auspice of the United Nations, might be underscored. At the bilateral level the relevance conferred on social cohesion in the relationship with Latin-American countries is also remarkable. The European experience in the social field is influencing in a very subtle way the design of regional mechanisms addressed to fostering social cohesion in Latin-America. Beyond this diffuse influence, more concrete programmes, such as the EuroSocial Programme, have been set up by the European Union with a view to offering some support for increasing social cohesion in that region.The developing countries engaged in negotiations with the European Union should exploit further the harmful effect that incoherencies within the European Union’s external action might have for the European Union itself. On the other hand, the action undertaken by the European Union in supporting social cohesion, demonstrates that this Organization as a multidimensional actor intrinsically bound to back multilateralism, might play a crucial role in propelling the multilateral agendaPublicad
