The interplay of bottle storage and wood ageing technology: Volatile and sensor...
Caldeira, Ilda; Anjos, O.; Vitória, Cláudia; Alves, Sheila Oliveira; Fernandes, Tiago A.; Canas, Sara; Catarino, SofiaWine spirits are typically aged in wooden barrels. Recently, alternative ageing technologies, such as those using wood fragments in wine spirits stored in stainless steel tanks, have been investigated. However, a signifcant lack of information regarding the potential evolution of these beverages after bottling still remains. This study assessed the 12-month evolu tion of aroma in bottled wine spirits aged with ...
Sulfonyldibenzoate coordination polymers as bioactive dopants for polysaccharid...
Fernandes, Tiago A.; Macedo, Filipa; Cabral, Rafaela G.; Guiu, Telma; Franco, Chris H. J.; Jorge, Paula; Sousa, Ana Catarina; André, Vânia; Cerca, NunoThis work describes the preparation, characterization, and antimicrobial properties of bioactive silver(I) and copper(II) coordination polymers (bioCPs) and derived biopolymer materials. Two bioCPs, [Ag2(6-sdba)]n (1) and [Cu(4-sdba)H2O]n·1.5nH2O (2), were assembled from metal salt precursors and 4,4-sulfonyldibenzoic acid (H2sdba). Both compounds were used as dopants for preparing hybrid biopolymer films based...
Coumarins in spirit beverages: sources, quantification, and their involvement i...
Oliveira-Alves, Sheila; Lourenço, Sílvia; Fernandes, Tiago A.; Canas, SaraThis comprehensive review is devoted to an under-exploited family of phenolic compounds, the coumarins, and the most relevant strands in which they are involved in some spirit beverages— wine spirit, brandy, whiskey, sugar-cane spirits (rum and cachaça) and grape marc spirit—with great importance worldwide in terms of production, trade and consumption. It gathers the key discoveries on the topic, considering th...
Irisin: An anti-inflammatory exerkine in aging and redox-mediated comorbidities
Trettel, Caio Dos Santos; Pelozin, Bruno Rocha de Avila; Barros, Marcelo Paes; Bachi, André Luis Lacerda; Braga, Pedro Gabriel SengerHuman beings lead largely sedentary lives. From an evolutionary perspective, such lifestyle is not beneficial to health. Exercise can promote many enabling pathways, particularly through circulating exerkines, to optimize individual health and quality of life. Such benefits might explain the protective effects of exercise against aging and noncommunicable diseases. Nevertheless, the miRNA-mediated molecular mec...
First Chemical Profile Analysis of Acacia Pods
Pedro, Soraia; Fernandes, Tiago A.; Luís, Ângelo; Antunes, A M M; Gonçalves, J. C.; Gominho, Jorge; Gallardo, Eugenia; Anjos, OféliaThis study intended to evaluate the potential industrial applications of various Acacia species (Acacia melanoxylon, Acacia longifolia, Acacia cyclops, Acacia retinodes, Acacia pycnantha, Acacia mearnsii, and Acacia dealbata) by examining their chemical composition, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties. Using high-resolution mass spectrometry, a comprehensive analysis successfully identified targeted compo...
Degradable copper(ii)-doped starch-based biopolymeric films with antibacterial ...
Trusau, K. I.; Jorge, Paula; Sousa, Ana Catarina; Fernandes, Tiago A.; André, Vânia; Kirillova, M. V.; Usevich, A. I.; Cerca, Nuno; Kirillov, A. M.The search for new bioactive molecules and sustainable materials to address antimicrobial resistance continues to be of significant attention in many research areas. In this work, new copper(II) coordination polymers and complexes containing ammonia and aromatic carboxylate ligands were self-assembled, characterized, and applied as bioactive dopants to produce starch-based biopolymeric films. The structures of ...
Comparative analysis of the phytochemical profiles in the flowers and pods of A...
Pedro, Soraia; Fernandes, Tiago A.; Antunes, Alexandra M.M.; Gonçalves, José Carlos; Gominho, Jorge; Gallardo, Eugenia; Anjos, O.As espécies do género Acacia são plantas invasoras e extremamente agressivas em vários territórios, representando uma ameaça significativa à biodiversidade e ao equilíbrio dos ecossistemas. Alguns estudos têm sido realizados sobre a composição e atividade biológica em diferentes partes da árvore. Este trabalho tem como objetivo caracterizar extratos de Acacia mearnsii para potencial aplicação industrial.

Hybrid silver(I)-doped soybean oil and potato starch biopolymer films to combat...
Fernandes, Tiago A.; Costa, Inês F. M.; Jorge, Paula; Sousa, Ana Catarina; André, Vânia; Cabral, Rafaela G.; Cerca, Nuno; Kirillov, Alexander M.This study describes the preparation, characterization, and antimicrobial properties of novel hybrid biopolymer materials doped with bioactive silver(I) coordination polymers (bioCPs). Two new bioCPs, [Ag2(6-hfa)]n (1) and [Ag2(4-nda)(H2O)2]n (2), were assembled from Ag2O and homophthalic (H2hfa) or 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic (H2nda) acids as unexplored building blocks. Their structures feature 2D metalorganic...
