Digestion of organosulfur compounds of two radish microgreen cultivars grown un...
Silva, M; Dominguez-Perles, R; Moreno, DA; Viegas, Olga; Faria, MA; Carvalho, SMP; Ferreira, IMPLVORadishes are rich in health-promoting organosulfur compounds. This study investigated the effects of gastrointestinal digestion (GID) on glucosinolates (GSLs) and isothiocyanates (ITCs) of two radish microgreens cultivars (Raphanus sativus; cv. Daikon, and cv. Red Rambo) grown in a closed vertical system under either White (W) or Red+Blue (R + B) LEDs, combined with varying applications of UV-C radiation (0, 1,...
Exposure Scenarios for Estimating Contaminant Levels in Healthy Sustainable Die...
Ramos, H; Reis-Mendes, A; Silva, M; Ribeiro, M; Araújo, AM; Borges, C; Viegas, Olga; Melo, A; Martins, Z; Faria, MA; Ferreira, IMPLVO<jats:p>Consumers are regularly exposed to well-known food contaminants (FCs), which are typically assessed for risk on an individual basis. However, there is limited knowledge about the overall levels and combinations of these compounds depending on dietary choices. The goal of this study was to estimate the real-life mixtures of FCs in different dietary models by integrating extensive data from the scientific...
Bioactive Properties and Phenolic Composition of Wood-Aged Beers: Influence of ...
Machado, JC; Nicola, PDM; Viegas, Olga; Santos, MC; Faria, MA; Ferreira, IMPLVOAgeing beer in contact with wood is a common technological procedure that has been used for centuries to improve colour, structure, and certain flavours. Herein, the impact of the addition of French and American oak wood to two beer styles, pale and dark, on beer phenolic composition (total phenolics, total flavonoids, and HPLC-DAD) and bioactivity (FRAP, DPPH, anti-inflammatory activity in RAW 264.7, and antip...
Multidisciplinary approach to determine the effect of polybrominated diphenyl e...
Cruz, R; Palmeira, JD; Martins, ZE; Faria, MA; Ferreira, H; Marques, A; Casal, S; Cunha, SCEnvironmental health is increasingly compromised by persistent toxic substances, which may have serious implications in food safety and, thus, in human health. Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are anthropogenic contaminants with endocrine disruption abilities and are commonly found in seafood, the main route of human exposure. Growing evidence points out that the human gut microbiota interacts with xenobi...
Delphinidin-3-O-glucoside inhibits angiogenesis via VEGFR2 downregulation and m...
Viegas, Olga; Faria, MA; Sousa, JB; Vojtek, M; Goncalves Monteiro, S; Suliburska, J; Diniz, C; Ferreira, IsabelExcessive angiogenesis favours cancer development, allowing cancer invasion. Polyphenols are promising chemopreventive agents, although data gather so far in respect of anthocyanins, namely cyanidin-3-O-glucoside and delphinidin-3-O-glucoside (DG) and respective aglycones are scarce. The capability of these compounds to prevent tumour progression by inhibiting angiogenesis/cell migration/proliferation was studi...
