Análise agroecológica de caroços de cereja liquefeitos utilizando FTIR-ATR

A agroecologia, combina princípios ecológicos com práticas agrícolas, tem ganho crescente relevância no desenvolvimento de práticas sustentáveis. Esta área valoriza não apenas a produção eficiente de alimentos, mas também a utilização responsável e inovadora dos resíduos agrícolas. Neste contexto, a análise de produtos derivados de cultivos frutícolas, como a caroço de cereja (Prunus avium L.), mostra ser uma á...

Evaluating phenolic compounds in ethanolic extracts of cherry pit

The climatic conditions in Portugal favoured the adaptation of the cherry tree allowing its cultivation in several regions of the country. Studies made by the Portuguese Bureau of Statistics – INE 1, showed that the Portuguese sweet cherry production has an implemented area of 6,387 ha, producing 9,241 tons of this fruit. Its production extends mainly to two regions: the North (area of 3,099 ha and production o...

The impact of extraction temperature and solution concentration on the antioxid...

Sweet cherry seeds, a valuable lignin-cellulose raw material for the production of polyurethane foams 1, are also a significant source of different phenolic compounds 2 and can be a good source of natural antioxidants, which can play an important role in preventing the formation of free radicals and protection against degenerative diseases. Considering sustainability, the main objective of this project was the ...

Evaluation of the antioxidant activity of extracts obtained form cherry seeds.

Annual cherry production in Portugal is around 19,000 tonnes, in an area of about 6,450 ha and covering about 11,100 farms, concentrated in some northern and central interior territories. It is also in these regions that in recent decades there has been a significant increase in farms specialized in the production of cherry, using new cultivars and new technologies in a business production model. Apart from bei...

Liquefaction optimization of peel of potato Solanum tuberosum L. var Monalisa.

The potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is native to South America, in the Andes Mountains where it was consumed by native populations 1. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), there has been a large increase in potato production in Latin America and Asia, especially China, that in 2018 was the largest producer followed by India. These two countries represented almost a third ...

Extraction of Phenolic Compounds with Antioxidant Activity from Cherry Seeds: P...

The food processing industry is responsible for the generation of a significant amount of wastes and by-products, resulting from the transformation processes applied to food. These residues are highly rich in bioactive compounds with antioxidant activity, like for example the phenolic compounds [1]. To recover these compounds from the residues, extraction operations usually apply, but their optimization is impo...
