Microencapsulation of Enriched Extracts of Two Satureja Species by Spray Drying...
Fathi, F; Ebrahimi, SN; Pereira, DM; Berta Nogueiro Estevinho; Rocha, FBackground: Phenolic compounds are one of the main groups of secondary metabolites responsible for multiple biological and pharmacological properties that play a vital role in improving human health quality. Encapsulation by spray dryer creates protection toward the phenolic compounds as an efficient way for increasing product performance. Methods: The phenolic compounds of Satureja khuzistanica Jamzad (SKH) an...

Preliminary studies of microencapsulation and anticancer activity of polyphenol...
Fathi, F; Ebrahimi, SN; Pereira, DM; Berta Nogueiro Estevinho; Rocha, FThe purpose of this study was to prepare functional formulations using two different types of Punica granatum (pomegranate) peels extracts (the native and the enriched extract), as an important source of polyphenolic compounds such as punicalagin and ellagic acid. These two extracts were microencapsulated by a spray-drying technique. Polyphenol constituents of P. granatum play a significant role in the preventi...
Exploring gunnera tinctoria: From nutritional and anti-tumoral properties to ph...
Fathi, F; Ebrahimi, SN; Valadão, AIG; Andrade, N; Costa, ASG; Silva, C; Fathi, A; Salehi, P; Martel, F; Alves, RC; Oliveira, MBPPGunnera tinctoria, an underexplored invasive plant found in Azores, Portugal, was studied regarding its nutritional, antioxidant, and antitumoral properties. Higher antioxidant activity was found in baby leaves, followed by adult leaves and inflorescences. A phenolic fraction of the plant was enriched using adsorbent resin column chromatography (Diaion™ HP20LX, and Relite EXA90). Antitumoral effects were observ...
