Isomaltulose: The Next Sweetener, A Quick Review
No full textThe social behavior of new generations consume highly processed foods and high levels of fat and sugar, such as glucose or high-fructose syrup (corn syrup), commonly used in the manufacture of hard candies, have generated a growing increase in cases of diabetes and nutrition problems. In this context, we present the isomaltulose as a substitute potential for sweeteners, due to its property of maintaining stable glycemic levels, dosing energy to the organism in a long-term way, promoting the fat oxidation and it is a noncariogenic food. There is just one company that distributes isomaltulose in an industry level, under the name of Palatinose™ (Beneo-Palatinti, Sudzücker Group, Mannheim, Germany) and already incorporated isomaltulose products in the food processing as beverage, bakery, energy drinks, dry-powder drinks, chewing gum, hard candies, and others. But it is necessary to produce quantities of isomaltulose that will supply the demand of the food industry. The latest advances in biotechnology provide tools to efficiently produce 278any product that may result from the metabolism of micro-organisms. But first, it is important to know the global aspects of the enzyme, the reaction that catalyzes and its products to determine their chemical and biological parameters. This work aims to make a quick review of all these aspects that allow us to understand and start the biotechnological path for the design and development of future foods based on isomaltulose.Fil: Bracho Oliveros, Juan Pablo.

Describing a landscape we are yet discovering
No full textAt the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, very little was known about both the disease and the virus that caused it. As more information became available, the public awareness reached unprecedented scales; epidemiological terms such as incidence or reproduction number infected our daily conversations. Consequently, high pressure fell on the shoulders of policymakers, who were expected to point us to the way out of this global health threat. However, whom do we ask when we all are still learning? We would say, “let us build a model!”. In their manuscript, Jahn and coauthors present a comprehensive overview of models and their role in evidence-based decision-making. They categorize different models according to their purpose and illustrate how they have served different purposes in the context of the ongoing pandemic
Rethinking COVID-19 vaccine allocation: it is time to care about our neighbours
No full textThe COVID-19 pandemic changed nearly every aspect of our lives. The rapid spread of the disease exposed several layers of inequality that it has exploited to propagate preferentially. We find these layers in different contexts and levels, such as the impossibility to self-isolate and do remote work (at the individual level) or economic constraints to deploy a fast vaccination program (at the country level). In the context of vaccination programmes, resources must be optimised to alleviate the pandemic burden where it is needed the most. In The Lancet Regional Health Europe, Yang Liu and coauthors analyse the health and economic impact of different age-stratified vaccine prioritisation programs in 38 countries of the World Health Organization (WHO) European Region and provide a modelling framework to optimise country-specific vaccine allocation

Research fronts in library and information science in Spain
No full textPublications and author cocitations in library and information science in Spain during the period from 1985 to 1994 were analyzed as a measure of the structure, specificity and composition of research fronts in this country. A cocitation matrix developed from an ad hoc database was subjected to cluster analysis, multidimensional scaling and principal components analysis, The resulting cocitation maps identified specific areas of r~search and their knowledge bases. We inferred the degree of consolidation of the discipline of library and information science, and of the subdisciplines informetrics, librarianship and university affiliation, from the research activities revealed. In this respect, the conclusions from the study show the existence of several research fronts in Spanish literature the contents of which are in most cases difficult to compare with those in other countries. A lesser degree of maturity of research in this field is shown
