Sustainability in bio-based edible films, coatings, and packaging integrates environmental, economic, social sustainability using renewable resources. These materials offer an eco-friendly alternative to traditional petroleum-based plastics can extend the shelf life of fruits. The wine industry’s by-products, rich bioactive compounds, create films coatings. However, some challenges limitations may occur. Producing coatings on a commercial scale be challenging, requiring significant...
Every year, large quantities of stems and pits are generated during sweet cherry processing, without any substantial use. Although widely recognized by traditional medicine, detailed feasible information about their bioactive composition or biological value is still scarce, as well the characterization kernels. Therefore, we conducted a study in which bioactivity potential extracts from kernels four cultivars (Early Bigi (grown under net cover (C) (NC)), Burlat, Lapins, Van) were examined....
Introdução: Os probióticos intestinais desempenham um papel crucial na comunicação entre o intestino e cérebro. A disbiose intestinal é caracterizada por alterações microbiota, com predominância de bactérias patogênicas, resultando em maior permeabilidade inflamação local sistêmica. O sistema vagal atua como canal a microbiota Objetivo: Buscou-se estudos atuais sobre suplementação modulação pacientes depressão. Métodos: Uma revisão integrativa da literatura foi conduzida janeiro 2020 nas...
Almonds have recognized health benefits, which are largely attributed to their chemical composition, including fatty acids, phenolics, vitamin E, and sucrose. This study was carried with the aim of providing information on levels aforementioned bioactive compounds antioxidant activities in six understudied Portuguese cultivars (Amendoão, Bonita, Casanova, Molar, Pegarinhos–Moncorvo, Pegarinhos–Murça Refêgo), comparison two foreign (Ferragnès Glorieta). A cultivar effect observed for all...
Almond is one of the most commonly consumed nuts worldwide, with health benefits associated availability bioactive compounds and fatty acids. often eaten raw or after some processing steps. However, latter can positively negatively influence chemical sensorial attributes almonds. This work was carried out to assess effects two treatments, namely; roasting blanching on (i) contents compounds, (ii) acids (3) antioxidant activities (4), characteristics four neglected Portuguese almond cultivars...
