El mundo vegano: un nuevo estilo de vida, una nueva ética

Este trabajo surge por una inquietud personal hacia el estilo de vida vegano y la posibilidad de profundizar en este tema a través del trabajo de grado, desarrollado por medio de una revisión documental, con miras a descubrir aspectos motivacionales y éticos que permiten comprender un poco más sus orígenes, prácticas, ética y demás aspectos que lo definen

Viability of probiotic bacteria and some chemical and sensory characteristics in cornelian cherry juice during cold storage

Background: Increased popularity of vegetarianism, lactose intolerance, and the high cholesterol content in dairy products, are all factors that have recently increased the demand for nondairy probiotic products. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of refrigeration on the viability of probiotics and asses someof the chemical and sensory characteristics in cornelian cherry juice. Results: The Iranian native probiotic strain (L. casei T4) showed greater viability compared to industrial types (viable count of 8.67 log cfu/mL versus <6.0 log cfu/mL at d 28). However, this most tolerant Iranian strain, could not withstand the conditions of ‘Natural juice’ at pH 2.6 for more than 7 d. Following a pH adjusted treatment (to pH ~3.5), the viability of the strain was improved to 28 d with some evidence of increased growth of the probiotic. However, the level of antioxidant activity, anthocyanin and phenolic compounds, revealed a slight decrease during cold storage. The changes in the chemical profile of the sample containing L. casei T4 indicated fermentation activity during cold storage. Sensory evaluation results showed significant differences between samples containing L. casei TD4 and other samples in taste, odor and overall acceptance in a complimentary way. Conclusions: The results showed that low pH and presence of inhibitor phenolic compounds of cornelian cherry juice have negative effect on viability of probiotics, especially industrial strains during refrigerated storage.

La depredación animal como problema ético

El presente ensayo sintetiza y analiza algunas de las consideraciones filosóficas en torno a la depredación animal vista como un problema ético, esto es,de incumbencia y acción para el hombre. Se examinarán algunas posiciones a favor de la acción del hombre para la preservación y cuidado de los animales, y otras que, al contrario, argumentan por la no intervención del humano en la vida de los animales y en el normal curso de la vida en la naturaleza. Finalmente, la autora defenderá su posición a favor del vegetarianismo como única intervención lícita por parte de los seres humanos para disminuir la depredación animal, mientras que rechazará la tesis del intervencionismo, que pretende detener toda clase de depredación en el reino animal.
