The industrial processing of pineapple generates a high quantity by-products. To reduce the environmental impact these by-products and inherent cost their treatment, it is important to characterise valorise products, converting them into added value products. Ultra-violet radiation one main sustainable sanitation techniques for fruits. Since this can induce plant stress which promote biosynthesis bioactive compounds, evaluate its effect in fruits.The amounts vitamins (C E) carotenoids...
Food by-products are a major concern with direct impact on the economy, society, and environment.
Coffee pulp, a by-product of wet coffee processing, shows significant potential in the food and health domains, but its real applications remain underexplored. This work investigated chemical composition bioactive properties pulp from São Miguel Island (Azores, Portugal). The studied exhibited high fiber content (52% dw), mostly insoluble; notable mineral levels (10.6%), mainly K, Ca, Mg; 6% dw total amino acids, with hydroxyproline, aspartic acid, glutamic leucine higher amounts. Despite...
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...
O hipogonadismo hipergonadotrófico (HH) é um distúrbio endocrinológico caracterizado pela falência gonadal primária, em que ocorre uma deficiência na produção de hormônios sexuais pelas gônadas, o leva a aumento compensatório dos níveis gonadotrofinas. A puberdade tardia atraso no desenvolvimento das características secundárias e maturação sexual, com base avaliação parâmetros como crescimento, mamário nas mulheres do volume testicular nos homens relevância deste estudo reside necessidade...
Three isogenic strains of Lactococcus lactis with different levels H(2)O-forming NADH oxidase activity were used to study the effect oxygen on glucose metabolism: parent strain L. MG1363, a NOX(-) harboring deletion gene coding for oxidase, and NOX(+) enhanced by about 100-fold. A comprehensive description metabolic events was obtained using (13)C nuclear magnetic resonance in vivo. The most noticeable results this are as follows: (i) under aerobic conditions level fructose 1,6-bisphosphate...
