Challenges for future food systems: from the Green Revolution to food supply ch...
Soria‐Lopez, Anton; Garcia‐Perez, Pascual; Carpena, Maria; Garciá‐Oliveira, Paula; Otero, Paz; Fraga-Corral, Maria; Cao, Hui; Prieto Lage, Miguel A.Finding a food system to feed the growing worldwide population remains a challenge, especially in the current era, where natural resources are being dramatically depleted. From a historical point of view, the Green Revolution, together with biofortification and sustainable intensification, was established as a possible solution to counter hunger and malnutrition during the second half of the 20th century. As a ...
Application of fermentation for the valorization of residues from Cactaceae family
Carpena Rodríguez, María; Cassani, Lucia; Gomez-Zavaglia, Andrea; Garcia-Perez, Pascual; Seyyedi-Mansour, Sepidar; Cao, Hui; Simal-Gandara, JesusCactaceae family is well-known for their adaptations to drought and arid environments. This family, formed by four subfamilies (Cactoideae, Opuntioideae, Pereskioideae, and Maihuenioideae) are known for being leafless stem succulent plants with numerous spines, and their commercial fruits, distinguished by their bright colors and their skin covered with bracts. Some of these species have been traditionally used...

Sulfur-containing compounds from plants
Castro, Vera; Carpena Rodríguez, María; Fraga-Corral, Maria; Lopez-Soria, A.; Garcia-Perez, Pascual; Barral Martínez, Marta; Perez-Gregorio, R.Sulfur (S) is an essential nutrient assimilated through the diet and incorporated into organic structures such as amino acids, coenzymes, and other bioactive compounds. Plants’ ability to regulate stress resistance via secondary metabolism has extended the interest in S-containing compounds, driven by their additional properties as bioactive molecules. Among plant families that produce S-compounds, the Brassica...
Seaweed polysaccharides: emerging extraction technologies, chemical modificatio...
Otero, Paz; Carpena Rodríguez, María; Garcia-Oliveira, Paula; Echave Álvarez, Javier; Soria-Lopez, Anton; García-Pérez, Pascual; Fraga-Corral, MariaNowadays, consumers are increasingly aware of the relationship between diet and health, showing a greater preference of products from natural origin. In the last decade, seaweeds have outlined as one of the natural sources with more potential to obtain bioactive carbohydrates. Numerous seaweed polysaccharides have aroused the interest of the scientific community, due to their biological activities and their hig...
Valorization of kiwi agricultural waste and industry by-products by recovering ...
Chamorro Rivo, Franklin Noel; Carpena Rodríguez, María; Fraga-Corral, María; Echave Álvarez, Javier; Riaz Rajoka, Muhammad Shahid; Barba, Francisco JoseCurrently, agricultural production generates large amounts of organic waste, both from the maintenance of farms and crops (agricultural wastes) and from the industrialization of the product (food industry waste). In the case of Actinidia cultivation, agricultural waste groups together leaves, flowers, stems and roots while food industry by-products are represented by discarded fruits, skin and seeds. All these ...
Single-cell proteins obtained by circular economy intended as a feed ingredient...
González Pereira, Antía; Fraga-Corral, Maria; Garcia-Oliveira, Paula; Otero, Paz; Soria-Lopez, Anton; Cassani, Lucia; Cao, Hui; Xiao, JianboThe constant increment in the world's population leads to a parallel increase in the demand for food. This situation gives place the need for urgent development of alternative and sustainable resources to satisfy this nutritional requirement. Human nutrition is currently based on fisheries, which accounts for 50% of the fish production for human consumption, but also on agriculture, livestock, and aquaculture. ...

Camellia japonica: a phytochemical perspective and current applications facing ...
González Pereira, Antía; García-Pérez, Pascual; Cassani, Lucia; Chamorro Rivo, Franklin Noel; Cao, Hui; Barba, Francisco Jose; Simal-Gandara, JesusIn response to the increased popularity of medicinal plants, a number of conservation groups are recommending the investigation on poorly characterized and widely distributed species, as it is the case of camellias. In particular, Camellia japonica L. is a widespread species found in Galicia (NW Spain), where it has been largely exploited with ornamental purposes. Recent findings on its phytochemical characteri...
Biological properties and potential of compounds extracted from red seaweeds
Carpena Rodríguez, María; García-Pérez, Pascual; García-Oliveira, Paula; Chamorro Rivo, Franklin Noel; Otero, Paz; Lourenço-Lopes, Catarina; Cao, HuiMacroalgae have been recently used for different applications in the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industry since they do not compete for land and freshwater against other resources. Moreover, they have been highlighted as a potential source of bioactive compounds. Red algae (Rhodo- phyta) are the largest group of seaweeds, including around 6000 different species, thus it can be hypoth- esized that they are...
