Abstract

Introduction: The pomace generated during Mexican winemaking is an underutilized source of antioxidant compounds with the potential to regulate the formation of fatty tissue. Objective: To evaluate the phenolic content and antioxidant activity of Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon orujos from Chihuahua and to estimate, through a bioinformatics study, their interaction with the receptor activated by proliferators of gamma peroxisomes (PPARγ), key in adipogenesis. Material and method: Each pomace was dried, milled, and extracted to quantify total polyphenols and flavonoids, and the antioxidant capacity was measured. The components were identified by liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. Molecular docking with the receptor was modelled, and then the parameters of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion were calculated. Results: Tempranillo presented more flavonoids and up to three times the antioxidant capacity of Cabernet. Quercetin, viniferin, and naringenin were detected; their binding energies (-10.0 to -7.0 kcal mol-1) exceeded or matched those of reference drugs, sharing critical binding residues. The bioavailability analysis indicated intestinal permeability. Conclusion: Tempranillo pomace is a sustainable ingredient rich in bioactive compounds that can interact favorably with the regulatory receptor of adipogenesis, supporting its potential use in dietary strategies against obesity.

Research and Academic Contributions

Research has been conducted in the field of food science, particularly focusing on functional foods and the development of new food products. Key areas of work include the analysis and identification of probiotics, their cholesterol-lowering capacity, and the creation of innovative food products. Additionally, research has been carried out on polyphenols, including the identification and quantification of these compounds in various food matrices such as fruits, vegetables, and seeds—especially those found in Salvia hispanica L. (chia seeds). The antioxidant capacity of these phenolic compounds has also been extensively studied.

Research on chia seeds has also explored their antihypertensive potential through the analysis of their ability to inhibit the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), both in vitro and in vivo, using rat models with induced hypertension. Furthermore, the vasorelaxant capacity of alcoholic extracts from chia seeds has been examined.

Current investigations are focused on whether these alcoholic extracts play a role in the regulation of gene expression of enzymes and receptors involved in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.

In the area of academic training and human resource development in research and teaching, a total of 23 theses have been supervised, 21 of which have been completed (7 undergraduate, 11 master's, and 3 doctoral dissertations—within the PhD Program in Food Science at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona).

In 2016, a sabbatical stay was completed at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Spain. The project involved work at the Food Technology Plant (CERPTA) using Ultra High Pressure Homogenization (UHPH) equipment and treatments with Shortwave Ultraviolet Light (UVC).

Another significant contribution is the leadership of the Academic Body of Nutrition, Obesity, and Related Diseases (UANL-CA-219), which has been under my coordination since May 2007 and has held consolidated status since 2012.
