Aprovechamiento de la semilla de Aguacate Choquette (Persea americana Mill choquette); para uso como antioxidante y gas de síntesis.

Abstract

The present work focused on the study for the possible use of avocado seed Choquette variety, available in the municipality of Pamplona - Norte de Santander (Colombia); for this study, a three-point analysis was carried out: proximal analysis by determining the percentage of humidity, ash, volatile material and fixed carbon; elemental analysis to determine the percentage of C, N, S, O and antioxidant analysis using the ORAC technique; After this, the results will help determine the antioxidant capacity and efficiency of said seed in synthesis gas production, which was carried out using the Aspen Plus V8.8 simulator; where comparisons were made with values of flows and components; Finally, it can be determined that the variety of the fruit used is a good option for synthesis gas production, since it presents considerable quantities of the CO, CO2, N2, H2 and H2O compounds.
