O nemátode-das-lesões-radiculares (NLR), Pratylenchus penetrans, é um endoparasita migratório que afeta culturas agrícolas economicamente importantes, como a batata, estando atualmente presente na lista de pragas reguladas não sujeitas a quarentena A2 da União Europeia (UE 2016/2031). Em alguns países europeus, como Portugal, esta espécie foi detetada em campos de produção de batata estando relacionada com o se...

Virgin olive oil (VOO) is one of the greatest differentiating elements within the Mediterranean Diet, mainly due to its health-promoting properties associated with the presence of specific antioxidants—the phenolic compounds (PC). Among all PC in VOO, oleocanthal and oleacein are two of the most important, mainly due to their strong association with health benefits. The presence of these PC in VOO can be induce...

Some Portuguese and Spanish ewe’s cheese are made with the aqueous extracts of Cynara cardunculus L. dried flowers. The renewed interest in vegetal coagulant prompted to the investigation of its proteolytic effect. Different Cynara cardunculus L. populations (Cynara 1, Cynara 2 and Cynara 3) were used in the cheesemaking of PDO Évora, Serpa and Nisa cheeses. Cheese samples were analysed by urea-PAGE to identify...
Cynara cardunculus L. flowers have been used, in the form of an aqueous extract as vegetable coagulant, in the production of Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) ewe’s cheeses in the Mediterranean Basin. The presence of aspartic proteases, cardosins, promote specific proteolysis in milk coagulation and cheese ripening. Nine aspartic proteinases have been identified in C. cardunculus flower extracts, which have...
Alentejo Biotechnology Center for Agriculture and Agro-Food (CEBAL) is an R&D institution located in a low-density rural territory, that assumes as part of its mission the increase of scientific literacy, the public understanding of science, the dissemination of research results, and technology transfer to the society. Focused on region characteristics, the CEBAL stands out for its close connection to the c...
ValBioTecCynara aims to address the natural C cardunculus L genetic, molecular, morphologic, and biochemical variabilities, as a combined strategy to identify individuals with certain and specific required profiles C cardunculus L is used as a coagulant for cheesemaking where the respective use is mandatory in certain cheeses benefiting from Protected Designation of Origin ( 1 The potential of 15 different C ca...
CYNARA CARDUNCULUS. L AQUEOUS EXTRACT EFFECT ON DEGRADATION, HYDROLYSIS AND CASEIN PROFILE OF SERPA CHEESE ABSTRACT: The effect of Cynara cardunculus L. aqueous extracts (C1, C2, C3) was studied on Serpa PDO cheese proteolysis, during maturation (D1, D14, D35). Proteolysis was assessed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with urea and by Kjeldahl methods. A casein profile pattern was found, and results showed...
