    Advances in White Wine Protein Stabilization Technologies
    (NLM (Medline), 2022) Silva-Barbieri D.; Escalona N.; Perez-Correa J.R.; Salazar F.N.; Lopez F.; Brossard N.; Escalona N.
    The unstable proteins in white wine cause haze in bottles of white wine, degrading its quality. Thaumatins and chitinases are grape pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins that remain stable during vinification but can precipitate at high temperatures after bottling. The white wine protein stabilization process can prevent haze by removing these unstable proteins. Traditionally, bentonite is used to remove these proteins; however, it is labor-intensive, generates wine losses, affects wine quality, and harms the environment. More efficient protein stabilization technologies should be based on a better understanding of the main factors and mechanisms underlying protein precipitation. This review focuses on recent developments regarding the instability and removal of white wine proteins, which could be helpful to design more economical and environmentally friendly protein stabilization methods that better preserve the products´ quality.

    Chapter 4: Health Care Access and Coverage for Cancer Patients: An Ethical Imperative
    (2022) Ferrer L.; Lopez R.; Lopez F.; Catoni M.I.
    © 2022, Journal of Moral Theology, Inc.. All rights reserved.The ethical imperative voiced by colleagues from the Universidad Católica de Chile stresses the urgency of providing universal access to healthcare services on a global scale because health is a social good and a social right. On the one hand, health systems should promote innovations because they will contribute to greater sustainability and foster the sharing of health benefits to the different communities in the world. On the other hand, in healthcare practice, it is necessary to create more inclusive models of care that reach out to larger sectors of the population. Finally, interdisciplinary work is necessary to provide comprehensive care, considering the social determinants of health in the diverse social contexts where people live.
