Abstract

This research proposes to take advantage of waste generated in the kitchen to be added into bread-making. The main findings were as follows: 1) family members of the population studied (more than 80%) had diabetes or cancer, their diet is based on high glycemic index foods, including bread. It is necessary to modify its characteristics through fiber and bioactive compounds. 2) Bread added with wastes showed changes in the color (L*a*b*). Those that presented the highest difference with respect to (control) were coriander (30.5), cabbage (30.8) and parsley (22.1) breads; followed by tomato bread (19.6). The porosity increased with the addition of waste, presenting the highest in the breads added with parsley and coffee grain. The bread with lowest hardness after control was the tomato bread, and this was also the of highest sensory acceptance. 3) Bronfenbrenner model was proposed for the evaluation of impacts and self-change to use waste.

Ph. D. Claudia Hernandez-Aguilar is a professor and researcher of the National Polytechnic Institute, within the Graduate Program in Systems Engineering of ESIME Zacatenco. She is a member of the Mexican Academy of Sciences and the National System of Researchers (Mexico). Her focus is the use of engineering e.g., sustainable biophysical methods and photothermal techniques to improve society’s quality of life and wellbeing. In times of pandemic, she has proposed educational interventions for the consumption of nutraceutical and low glycemic index foods. She has trained young transdisciplinary researchers for the past 15 years, emphasizing the need for awareness, conscience, rigor, and humanism in the research process and of a Transdisciplinary systemic view on the impact obtained from it. Motto: Transform yourself, to transform your world.
