Food system resilience thinking: from digital to integral
Brassesco, Maria Emilia; Pintado, Manuela; Coscueta, Ezequiel R.The current food system is directly influenced by the increase in environmental problems and nutritional inequality globally. Financial and political collapses, health crises, excessive urbanization, and rapid industrialization are some of the principal factors threatening the food supply's security. The food system needs a profound transformation to avoid ecosystem destabilization and a global food crisis. Con...

Cunha, Marta; Coscueta, Ezequiel R.; Brassesco, Maria Emilia; Almada, Frederico; Gonçalves, David; Pintado, ManuelaThe marine environment has several promising features for the discovery of new molecules. The oceans have half of the planet’s biodiversity and are a harsh environment for aquatic organisms challenging them to have a set of bioactive molecules to survive [1]. It is well known the mucus secreted by fish epidermis works as a defense barrier against harmful elements from the external environment [2]. Therefore, th...

Collagen-based bioactive bromelain hydrolysate from salt-cured cod skin
Coscueta, Ezequiel R.; Brassesco, Maria Emilia; Pintado, ManuelaConsiderable amounts of fish processing by-products are discarded each year. About 30% of this material may be skin and bone. Fish skin has more than 80% of its total protein content as collagen. Furthermore, in recent years, there has been a growing demand for collagen-based peptides due to their beneficial health effects. So, the objective of the present study was to optimise the obtaining bioactive hydrolysa...
