dc.description | This study was conducted using a completely randomized, two-factor, triplicate design to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of different concentrations of flavonoid-rich extracts from orange (Citrus sinensis), onion (Allium cepa), and tamarillo (Solanum betaceum) against the growth of Listeria monocytogenes in fruit juices. The peels of these fruits were dehydrated at controlled temperatures between 50 and 57 °C for eight hours and then ground into powder. The yields obtained after this process were 32% for orange, 13% for onion, and 14% for tamarillo. Flavonoid extraction was performed using the Soxhlet method with 70% ethanol for five hours, followed by concentration in a rotary evaporator. The extracted compounds were quantified by UV spectrophotometry and the Folin-Ciocalteu method. The results showed that orange extracts had the highest concentrations (300.75–372.60 mg quercetin equivalents per liter), followed by onion extracts (205.70–534.96 mg Q/L). Lower values were observed for tamarillo, possibly due to measurement errors or variability in the plant matrix. Soluble solids losses during the extraction process varied, reaching 5.27 g for orange. In terms of antimicrobial activity, orange extracts demonstrated greater efficacy as natural preservatives, inhibiting the growth of Listeria monocytogenes with minimum inhibitory concentrations between 300 µg/mL and 400 µg/mL | es_ES |

dc.description.abstract | El presente estudio se llevó a cabo mediante un diseño completamente aleatorizado con un esquema bifactorial por triplicado, con el propósito de evaluar la capacidad antimicrobiana de diferentes concentraciones de extractos ricos en flavonoides obtenidos de naranja (Citrus sinensis), cebolla (Allium cepa) y tamarillo (Solanum betaceum), frente al crecimiento de Listeria monocytogenes en jugos de frutas. Para ello, se utilizaron las cáscaras de estos frutos, las cuales fueron deshidratadas a temperaturas controladas entre 50 y 57 °C durante ocho horas y luego pulverizadas. Los rendimientos obtenidos tras este proceso fueron de 32 % en naranja, 13 % en cebolla y 14 % en tamarillo. La extracción de flavonoides se realizó utilizando el método Soxhlet con etanol al 70 % durante cinco horas, y posteriormente se concentraron con un evaporador rotatorio. Los compuestos extraídos fueron cuantificados mediante espectrofotometría UV y el método de Folin-Ciocalteu. Los resultados mostraron que los extractos de naranja presentaron las concentraciones más elevadas (300,75–372,60 mg equivalentes de quercetina por litro), seguidos por los de cebolla (205,70–534,96 mg Q/L). En el caso del tamarillo, se observaron valores más bajos, posiblemente debido a errores en la medición o variabilidad en la matriz vegetal.Las pérdidas de sólidos solubles durante el proceso de extracción oscilaron, alcanzando un valor de 5,27 g en el caso de la naranja. En términos de actividad antimicrobiana, los extractos de naranja demostraron mayor eficacia como conservantes naturales, logrando inhibir el crecimiento de Listeria monocytogenes con concentraciones inhibitorias mínimas entre 300 µg/mL y 400 µg/mL | es_ES |
