Food by-products are a major concern with direct impact on the economy, society, and environment.
Food waste, due to the high quantities produced, becomes a significant environmental, economic, and social challenge worldwide. Simultaneously, rising prevalence of chronic diseases has intensified demand for healthier food options. A promising approach address these issues involves valorisation by-products development innovative products. Cucumis melo L., commonly consumed as fruit, generates peels seeds that are typically discarded. In present study, nutritional composition antioxidant...
Resumo O estilo de vida das famílias tem sofrido alterações profundas, traduzindo-se, entre outros fatores, na redução do tempo para preparação refeições. Pelo referido, as vendas alimentos confeccionados, caso dos salgados, têm tido um crescimento contínuo. Este trabalho investigação teve como objetivos: (1) determinar os teores sal, gordura total e o perfil em ácidos graxos salgados prontos comer; (2) correlacionar diversos componentes analisados; (3) analisar a evolução da composição com...
Considering the increase in production and use of nanomaterials (NM) food/feed food contact materials, novel strategies for efficient sustainable hazard characterization, especially early stages NM development, have been proposed. Some these encompass utilization vitro simulated digestion prior to cytotoxic genotoxic assessment. This entails exposing fluids that replicate three successive phases digestion: oral, gastric, intestinal. Subsequently, resulting products are added models...
Dapagliflozin, a sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i), has shown demonstrated benefits for renal and cardiovascular outcomes in large clinical trials. However, short-term concerns regarding its impact on function electrolyte balance exist. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of dapagliflozin patients newly prescribed medication. A retrospective analysis 246 who initiated therapy was conducted. Serum creatinine, sodium, potassium levels were measured at baseline (before...
The content of salt, fat and fatty acid profile pastry bakery products commercialised in Portugal was evaluated.
Introduction: The production of food by-products is a major problem nowadays, and their valorization as ingredients for the development formulation new products has increased. Every year’s tons melon (Cucumis melo L.) seeds are discarded. This by-product good source oil an interesting fatty acids profile [1–3 De Melo MLS, Narain N, Bora PS. Characterisation some nutritional constituents hybrid AF-522) seeds. Food Chem. 2000;68:411–414. doi:10.1016/S0308-8146(99)00209-5 Mello PS, N. Fatty...
Dermatobia hominis larvae were cultured in a semidefined liquid medium. First-instar (L1) grew well up to 44 days; 29.1% molted mean period of 8.62 days. Two reached the third instar but lived only 1 and 18 days, respectively, after second molt. The increase size, measured 4 larvae, was about 10-fold. Second- third-instar obtained from skin cattle, survived medium for 2 mo; 39.0% L2 while 77.3% L3 pupated, some produced flies when transferred sand 14.84 +/- 10.08 days culture Some maturation...
The use of fruit by-products to develop new food products could be an advantageous approach meet the demand for healthy foods and reduce waste. In this study, amino acid mineral profiles melon peel flour were evaluated. Non-essential/toxic elements also determined. Furthermore, two formulations (biscuit muffin) developed with 50% 100% flour, respectively. bioaccessibility essential minerals in these was These innovative presented interesting contents acids high levels minerals, contributing...
