Abstract BACKGROUND Morchella conica Pers. is a species of fungus that belongs to the Morchellaceae family and was studied in order obtain more information about this species, by comparing Portuguese Serbian wild samples. Free sugars, fatty acids, tocopherols, organic phenolic acids were analysed chromatographic techniques. M. methanolic extracts tested regarding antioxidant antimicrobial properties. The absence hepatotoxicity confirmed porcine liver primary cells. RESULTS nutrition value...
The potential of R. officinalis L. (RO) extracts as a source aromas was accessed by hydrodistillation (HD) and supercritical fluid extraction using carbon dioxide (SFE-CO2), followed series analysis: quantification GC-MS, sensory perception description, cytotoxicity against Vero cells. shown abundancy α-pinene, eucalyptol, S-verbenone camphor, contributing for the green, fresh, citric, woody main notes. odour threshold (ODT) value (less than 3.0 × 10-3 µg·mL-1) cytotoxic (ca. 220 µg∙mL-1)...
Humans often respond to sensory impulses provided by aromas, and current trends have generated interest in natural sources of fragrances rather than the commonly used synthetic additives. For first time, resulting aroma a selected culture Thymus mastichina L. was studied as potential food ingredient. In this context, dried (DR) fresh (FR) samples were submitted carbon dioxide (CO2) supercritical extraction (SFE) hydrodistillation (HD) methods. The extracts characterised according their...
Glycerol and alkanediols are being studied as alternative solvents to extract phytochemicals from plant material, often hydrogen bond donors in deep eutectic (DESs). Many of those alcohols liquid at room temperature, yet studies their use extraction scarce. In this work, glycerol a series (1,2-ethanediol, 1,2-propanediol, 1,3-propanediol, 1,3-butanediol, 1,2-pentanediol, 1,5-pentanediol, 1,2-hexanediol) were for the phenolic compounds Juglans regia L. leaves, rich source class bioactive...
Nuts have been part of the human diet since our early ancestors, and their use goes beyond nutritional purposes, for example, as aromatic sources dairy products. This work explores potential almond (Prunus dulcis (Mill.) DA Webb), hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.), walnut (Juglans regia L.) extracts food flavouring agents, suggesting a new added-value application lower quality or excess production fruits. The were obtained by supercritical fluid extraction with carbon dioxide characterized by:...
Despite the presence of toxic compounds in inedible mushrooms, question whether chemical nutrients and non-nutrients compositions edible Lactarius species are similar remains unanswered. To answer this question, citriolens Pouzar turpis (Weinm.) Fr., two species, were studied order to obtain information about their composition bioactivity. Free sugars, fatty acids, tocopherols, organic phenolic acids analysed by chromatographic techniques coupled different detectors. L. methanolic extracts...
The wild mushroom Leucopaxillus candidus (Bres.) Singer was studied for the first time to obtain information about its chemical composition, nutritional value and bioactivity. Free sugars, fatty acids, tocopherols, organic phenolic acids were analysed by chromatographic techniques coupled different detectors. L. methanolic extract tested regarding antioxidant potential (reducing power, radical scavenging activity lipid peroxidation inhibition). shown be an interesting species in terms of...
The aim of this literature review was to evaluate the therapeutic implications D. alata reported in literature.The almond used research with rats and mice for evaluations lipid profile as antioxidant.The results are promising have shown that daily consumption seed, even small doses improves some clinical analyzes such glycemia cholesterol.The dissemination these can contribute an increase
Objective: To know the perception of primary care physicians and nurses about violence against women their coping. Method: A cross-sectional study with a qualitative approach, carried out professionals from Family Health Strategy municipality in interior Ceara, Brazil, who answered semi-structured interview. The discourses were organized through thematic categorization analyzed based on relevant literature. data was also processed IRAMUTEQ software. Results: Twelve health professionals, four...
Introduction: Self-medication of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs has become common practice as a number NSAIDs are available over-the-counter and widely used to treat minor aches pains other ailments.GOAL: To present the mechanisms, main their adverse effects in self-medication according literature.Methodology: This is literature review carried out open databases (LILACS, BDENF, MEDLINE).The inclusion criteria established were: original articles made full online Portuguese or English,...
