Incorporation of tocopherol-rich extracts from mushroom mycelia into yogurt
Bouzgarrou, Chaima; Amara, Khira; Reis, Filipa S.; Barreira, João C.M.; Skhiri, Fethia; Chatti, Noureddine; Martins, Anabela; Barros, LillianConsumers are well-informed about food additives and it is likely that they prefer natural additives over their synthetic analogues. Antioxidants represent a major class of food preservatives, among which tocopherols stand out as one of the most important examples. Interestingly, these compounds are present in relevant amounts in the mycelia of in vitro cultured mushrooms. Accordingly, the mycelia from Ganoderm...
Pleurotus species as a source of bio-preservatives
Bouzgarrou, Chaima; Reis, Filipa S.; Barros, Lillian; Chatti, Noureddine; Ferreira, Isabel C.F.R.; Martins, AnabelaMushrooms are consumed worldwide not only as a part of the normal diet, but also as a delicacy due to their highly desirable taste and aroma. In addition to their nutritional value, mushrooms have been considered functional foods [1] and even as adjuvants in some therapies, namely chemotherapy [2]. This is because they are natural matrices rich in bioactive molecules, such as phenolic compounds, tocopherols, as...
Silencing the gip gene of Phytophthora cinnamomi by iRNA and subcellular locali...
Chahed, Abdessalem; Chatti, Noureddine; Costa, Rodrigo Arthur Fonseca; Sousa, Maria João; Choupina, AltinoInk Disease is considered one of the most important causes of the decline of chestnut orchards. The break-in yield of Castanea sativa Mill is mainly caused by Phytophthora cinnamomi one of the most aggressive and widespread plant pathogen causing enormous economic losses and up to now, no efficient treatments are available to fight these pathogens. Because of the importance of chestnut at economical and ecologi...

Chahed, Abdessalem; Chatti, Noureddine; Costa, Rodrigo Arthur Fonseca; Sousa, Maria João; Choupina, AltinoP. cinnamomi is considered one of the world's worst invasive pathogens with a serious threat to a wide range of plant species throughout the world. These species cause several billions of dollars of damage on crop, ornamental, and native plants and so far no efficient solutions have been found to control the disease. A notable characteristic of the interaction between plants and their microbial pathogens is the...
