Potential of Marine Biomolecules: Advances in Extraction and Applications of Pr...
Sousa, Gabriela; Ferreira-Dias, Suzana; Tecelão, Carla; Alves, Vítor D.Oceans are increasingly viewed as a new frontier for economic development, contributing to the bridge between food industry, sea bioeconomy, and health. Nowadays, oceans are under attention as a strategy for creating opportunities and driving innovation, and their vital importance will become even more evident in the years to come. Therefore, it is crucial to study oceans under a holistic approach, taking the m...
Optimization of natural antioxidants extraction from pineapple peel and their s...
Lourenço, Sofia C.; Campos, Débora A.; Gómez-García, Ricardo; Pintado, Manuela; Oliveira, M. Conceição; Santos, Diana I.; Corrêa-Filho, Luiz C.Pineapple peel still contains an important amount of phenolic compounds and vitamins with valuable antioxidant activity. In this way, the aim of this study was the recovery of the bioactive compounds from pineapple peel using environmentally friendly and low-cost techniques, envisaging their application in food products. From the solid-liquid extraction conditions tested, the one delivering an extract with high...
Solution properties of an exopolysaccharide from a Pseudomonas strain obtained ...
Hilliou, L.; Freitas, Filomena; Oliveira, Rui; Reis, Maria A.M.; Lespineux, David; Grandfils, Christian; Alves, Vítor D.We report the solution properties of a new exopolysaccharide (EPS) obtained from a Pseudomonas strain fed with glycerol as the sole source of carbon. This high molecular mass (3 x 10(6) g mol(-1)) biopolymer is essentially made of galactose monomers with pyruvate and succinate groups imparting a polyelectrolyte character. The Smidsrod parameter B computed from the ionic strength dependence of the intrinsic visc...
