Fermented dairy products (FDP) are consumed worldwide, due to their nutritional attributes and sensory properties. In the last decade, edible insects have been the subject of research as a sustainable source of protein to be introduced into the food industry. This study aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of black soldier fly (BSF) and drone brood (DB) flours in FDP, with or without probiotics, as a viable su...
The nutraceutical properties of Punica granatum L. are not restricted to the edible portion of the fruit but also to the peels and seeds, flowers, leaves, and tree bark. The recovery and valorization of the peel and seeds (ca. 50% of the whole fruit), besides the positive environmental impact, can be viewed as a source of natural bioactive compounds. Thus, the bioactive properties of extracts of pomegranate pee...

Pomegranate by-products can be an asset to the food industry due to the richness in bioactive and antimicrobial compounds. This work studied the influence of conventional solvent and sonication-assisted extraction methods on the bioactive profile, antimicrobial properties, and phytotoxicity effect of the peels and seeds extracts from Acco, Big Full, and Wonderful pomegranate cultivars. The bioactive composition...

The main goal of the present study was to explore textile dyeing ability of colorants extracted from winery wastes. Extractions with water at different pH and with a water/ethanol solution were performed. Cotton (natural and with a cationization pre-treatment) and wool were used in the dyeing process with two different time duration (100 and 200 min). The colorimetric and fastness properties, in terms of washin...
A romã (Punica granatum L.) é largamente reconhecida pelos seus benefícios para a saúde humana. Em Portugal, o interesse na exploração deste fruto tem vindo a aumentar, especialmente na região do Alentejo, que apresenta grande potencialidade para esta cultura. No entanto, a extração de sumo de romã produz cerca de 60% de resíduos, que englobam as cascas, películas internas e sementes. A diminuição do impacto de...
PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Dor Lombar Crónica (DLC), Factores de Prognóstico, Intensidade da Dor, Incapacidade Funcional Introdução e Objectivo: A evidência existente acerca de potenciais factores que possam predizer resultados de sucesso em utentes com DLC é não só escassa, mas sobretudo pouco consistente. O presente estudo teve como objectivo identificar factores de prognóstico para os bons resultados da Fisioterapia, a...
