Pinhão residues have a wide range of bioactive compounds and encapsulation can be one of the alternatives to increase their bioavailability. Thus, this work aimed to apply pinhão extract, pure and encapsulated by solid dispersion, in the formulation of cookies as a bioactive ingredient. For that, pinhão extract was encapsulated in different biopolymers (sodium caseinate, gelatin, and gum arabic) and with differ...
Curcumin, bisdemethoxycurcumin and demethoxycurcumin are the main curcuminoids present in Curcuma longa L. and are known for their bioactivity. However, their low water solubility results in poor bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy. This work aimed to investigate the in vitro modulation capacity on the enzymes acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and glutathione S-transferase (GST), as well as the in vitro antioxid...
Food by-products containing bioactive substances have attracted attention due to the possibility of adding values to residues of the food industry. In this work, the extraction of phenolic compounds from pinhão seed coats (Araucaria angustifolia (Bertol.) Kuntze) using a central composite rotatable design was applied to obtain prediction models for the extract volume yield, total phenolic content, total phenoli...
In the preset work we reported the chemical and biological evaluation, such as toxicity against Artemia salina, antibacterial, atifungal, molluscicidal, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of Mabea fiistulifera Mart. The plant material was divided in: leaves, stem, floral stalks, peels, seeds peels and is and each one was submitted to different exactions using different solvents and were submitted to b...
As sementes de Araucaria angustifolia (Bertol.) Kuntze, designadas por pinhão, são normalmente consumidas após cozedura, sendo as cascas descartadas. Contudo, estes bioresíduos podem ser aproveitados como fonte de compostos antioxidantes. Neste trabalho, procedeu-se à extração e caracterização de antioxidantes a partir da casca de pinhão, previamente submetida a cozedura. As cascas, secas e trituradas, foram su...
