AbstractSBA-15 and Zn/SBA-15 mesoporous materials were synthesized by coprecipitation and incipient impregnation methods, respectively. Both materials were tested as adsorbents of quinoline (Q) adsorption in the presence of dibenzothiophene (DBT), changing temperature and nitrogen concentration. The textural and structural adsorbents results revealed that the Zn incorporation reduced the pore volume and the surface area by 23% and 27%, respectively, compared to the SBA-15 adsorbent.

AbstractIn Mexico, mango processing waste constitutes approximately 600,000 tons per year. This work aims to evaluate peels and seeds’ bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity (AA) from Mangifera indica L cv Ataulfo waste. Mango peel flour (MPF) and mango seed flour (MSF) were obtained. Mango seed oil (MSO) was obtained from MSF, then physicochemically evaluated, and the fatty acid composition was determined by methyl esters formation (FAME) and gas chromatography.
