Protein hydrolysates from Tenebrio molitor and Hermetia illucens as novel food ...
Leal, D.; Borges, S.; Almeida, A.; Pintado, M.; Fonseca, A. J. M.; Cabrita, A. R. J.There has been a growing interest in insect meals as a sustainable alternative protein source for animal food and feed. In parallel, insect hydrolysates have been investigated in vitro for their bioactive properties, but the impact of dietary inclusion on dog’s nutritional parameters needs to be elucidated. This study aimed to evaluate the chemical composition and bioactive properties of four insect hydrolysate...

Atualmente reconhece-se que estas pessoas têm menos oportunidades e mais dificuldades de participação na Atividade Física não estando a sociedade preparada par...
Antimicrobial casein/poly(vinyl alcohol) electrospun nanofibers-based dressings
Nobre, D.; Ekoh, E.; Silva, D. C.; Branco, A. C.; Pais, V.; Almeida, A.; Barroso, H.; Salema-Oom, M.; Fangueiro, R.; Colaço, R.; Galante, R.Diabetes affects millions globally, with a rising prevalence. Chronic wounds are one of its major complications, due to the healing difficulty, highlighting the need for innovative solutions to improve the treatments efficacy. Electrospun nanofiber dressings show promising due to their ECM-like structure, oxygen permeability, and potential for bioactive functionalization. In this study, casein/poly(vinyl alcoho...
The effect of telework on emotional exhaustion and task performance via work ov...
Junça Silva, A.; Almeida, A.; Rebelo, C.This study developed a framework that explains how and when telework is related to emotional exhaustion and task performance, by conceiving work overload as a mediator and self-leadership as a moderator. We conducted two studies. Study 1 aimed to understand whether telework would be related to emotional exhaustion and task performance and if work overload would mediate such relationships. Study 2 analyzed wheth...
Exploring the functional features of melon peel flour for healthier bakery prod...
Silva, M.A.; Albuquerque, T.G.; Santo, L.E.; Motta, C.; Almeida, A.; Azevedo, R.; Alves, R.C.; Oliveira, M.B.P.P.; Costa, H.S.The use of fruit by-products to develop new food products could be an advantageous approach to meet the demand for healthy foods and reduce food waste. In this study, the amino acid and mineral profiles of melon peel flour were evaluated. Non-essential/toxic elements were also determined. Furthermore, two formulations (biscuit and muffin) were developed with 50% and 100% melon peel flour, respectively. The bioa...
