Compositional and Bioactive Differentiation of Opuntia spp. Fruit Varieties by ...
Espírito Santo, Liliana; Pereira, Cláudia S.G.P.; Costa, Anabela S.G.; Almeida, Agostinho; Barreira, João C.M.; Oliveira, Beatriz; Vinha, Ana F.The nutritional, mineral, and bioactive profiles of four Opuntia fruit varieties-Opuntia robusta red variety (OR-RV) and three Opuntia ficus-indica varieties (red, yellow, and green: OFI-RV, OFI-YV, and OFI-GV, respectively)-were characterized to assess their compositional diversity and potential discriminant markers. Standard analytical procedures were applied to determine proximate composition, individual sug...
High-value compounds in papaya by-products (Carica papaya L. var. Formosa and A...
Ferreira da Vinha, Ana; S.G.Costa, Anabela; Espírito Santo, Liliana; Ferreira, Diana Melo; Silva, Carla Sousa e; Pinto, E.; Almeida, AgostinhoBackground: Food waste is a global and growing problem that is gaining traction due to its environmental, ethical, social, and economic repercussions. Between 2022 and 2027, the worldwide papaya market is expected to have a huge increase, meaning a growth in organic waste, including peels and seeds. Thus, this study evaluated the potential use of peels and seeds of two mature papaya fruits as a source of bioact...
Detailed Phytochemical Composition, Cyto-/Hepatotoxicity, and Antioxidant/Anti-...
Bouzaid, Hiba; Espírito Santo, Liliana; Ferreira, Diana M.; Machado, Susana; Costa, Anabela S.G.; Dias, Maria Inês; Calhelha, Ricardo C.Coriander, caraway, and mystical cumin are famous for their aromatic properties and widely used in Moroccan cuisine. The nutritional/phytochemical composition of their seeds (used for food flavoring and preservation) were compared. Their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, cytotoxic and hepatotoxic effects were also explored. The fat content was similar among the samples (13%), with monounsaturated fatty acids bein...
Frutos da Opuntia: o fruto do futuro
Gomes, Alan; Espírito Santo, Liliana; Costa, Anabela S.G.; Nunes, M. Antónia; Ferreira da Vinha, Ana; Oliveira, M. Beatriz P.P.Segundo a Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), a produção de Opuntias (catos), para além de ser bastante rentável, é uma estratégia promissora no combate à desertificação e às mudanças climáticas globais, uma vez que esta planta tem a capacidade de se adaptar a condições climáticas extremas e consegue crescer em solos severamente degradados. A procura de plantas que estejam na base de uma agricultura susten...
