Development and characterization of nutritious and sustainable canned fish meal...

Canning is an excellent solution to provide convenient, affordable, nutritious, and safe seafood with a long shelf life. However, many canned products use tuna, sardines, and Atlantic chub mackerel, species that raise sustainability concerns and whose overuse can put additional pressure on them. Hence, this study aimed to i) develop and assess a nutritious and sustainable canned meal prototype using the Atlanti...

Valorisation of sea urchin (Paracentrotus lividus) gonads through canning

Fresh sea urchin (Paracentrotus lividus) gonads are a delicacy with short seasonal availability, very often heterogeneous in size and intrinsic characteristics. This study aimed to valorise this resource through the preparation of canned products (with/without Porphyra spp.) and evaluate their physicochemical and sensory quality (3–12 months). Canning contributed to a decrease in protein, K and most carotenoids...

Protein hydrolysates from salmon heads and cape hake by-products: comparing enz...

Fish by-products can be converted into high-value-added products like fish protein hydrolysates (FPHs), which have high nutritional value and are rich in bioactive peptides with health benefits. This study aims to characterise FPHs derived from salmon heads (HPSs) and Cape hake trimmings (HPHs) using Alcalase for enzymatic hydrolysis and Subcritical Water Hydrolysis (SWH) as an alternative method. All hydrolysa...

Multidisciplinary Approach to Advanced Thymoma with Pleural Dissemination: A Ca...

Advanced-stage thymoma may present, in rare cases, with extensive pleural disease at the time of diagnosis (Masaoka IVA). Accounting for the low incidence and the variety of therapeutic strategies available in the literature, no consensual treatment has been established. A multimodal treatment plan including surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy should be preferred, allowing for a more favorable prognosis. Com...

Physicochemical properties of iodine and selenium biofortified Sparus aurata an...

Fish biofortification with natural ingredients like iodine-rich macroalgae and selenized-yeast is an excellent strategy to enhance the nutritional quality of farmed fish. This study aimed to assess the effect of frozen storage during 12-months on physicochemical quality of biofortified seabream (Sparus aurata) and carp (Cyprinus carpio). Frozen storage reduced iodine content in biofortified seabream fillets (17...

P- CANCER AMONG ELDERLY:A 10-YEAR CHARACTERIZATION OF CASES FROM THE MADEIRA AR...

The evolution of science and improvement of medicine led to the extension of life expectancy resulting in a higher number of elder people among population.Consequently, life expectancy also increases diseases, such as cancer, one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide.In Portugal, cancer is the second leading cause of mortality, accounting for about 1/4 of deaths. With this work, it is intended...

Registo Oncológico na Região, 2018

Introdução : Em 2018, foram identificados na RAM 1410 novos casos de doenças oncológicas. Destes, 1159 corresponderam a casos de tumores malignos que foram incluídos na análise estatística principal. A exclusão de carcinomas da pele não melanoma (tipo basocelular, espinocelular, não especificados e outros) realiza-se de modo a ser possível a comparação com outros dados estatísticos nacionais e internacionais. A...

Poster: Breast cancer screening in Madeira 1999-2018: Comparison between partic...

Female breast cancer (BC) is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in most countries and the leading cause of cancer death among women worldwide. Since 1999, a population-based bi-annual BC screening mammography programme for women aged 45-69 has been in place in Madeira, with participation reported at 57% of all eligible females of the archipelago population (255,000). While all women receive an appointment let...

Seasonal effect in nutritional quality and safety of the wild sea urchin Parace...

Paracentrotus lividus gonads are gastronomic delicacies widely appreciated in Europe. Two commercially exploited populations of sea urchins were characterized, for the first time, in terms of gonad quality (market-related traits such as colour, texture and nutritional value) and safety (contaminants levels) to define the best season for harvesting this valuable resource. Spawning occurred between spring-summer,...
