Emerging technologies to extract Fucoxanthin from Undaria pinnatifida: microwav...
Lourenco-Lopes, Catarina; Carreira-Casais, Anxo; Carpena Rodríguez, María; Barral Martínez, Marta; Chamorro, Franklin; Jiménez López, CecíliaMacroalgae are an extensive resource for the obtention of bioactive compounds, mainly phenolic compounds, phlorotannins, and pigments. Fucoxanthin (Fx) is the most abundant pigment present in brown algae and has shown several useful bioactivities that can be used to fortify products in the food and cosmetic industries. Nevertheless, to date, there is still insufficient literature reporting on the extraction yie...
From tradition to health: chemical and bioactive characterization of five tradi...
Garcia-Oliveira, Paula; Carreira-Casais, Anxo; Pereira, Eliana; Dias, Maria Inês; Pereira, Carla; Calhelha, Ricardo C.; Stojković, DejanSeveral scientific studies have been proving the bioactive effects of many aromatic and medicinal plants associated with the presence of a high number of bioactive compounds, namely phenolic compounds. The antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial capacities of these molecules have aroused high interest in some industrial sectors, including food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. This work aimed to determ...
A HPLC‐DAD method for identifying and estimating the content of fucoxanthin, β‐...
Lourenço-Lopes, Catarina; Fraga-Corral, Maria; Garcia-Perez, Pascual; Carreira-Casais, Anxo; Silva, Aurora; Simal-Gandara, Jesus; Prieto Lage, Miguel A.Seaweeds are photosynthetic organisms that have high contents of pigments. The coloration of each alga is defined by the content and combination of pigments synthesized, which varies among species and environmental condi- tions. The most abundant pigments in algae are chlorophylls and carotenoids, lipophilic molecules that can be used as natural colorants and have high acceptance by consumers. In this work, a s...
