Chemical Composition of Almond Varieties Collected in the Valencian Region (Spain)
Lopéz‐Cortés, Isabel; Fernandes, Luana; Baviera‐Puig, Amparo; Salazar, Domingo M.; Rodrigues, Nuno; Pereira, José Alberto; Ramalhosa, ElsaAlmonds (Prunus amygdalus Batsch) are consumed worldwide, with great economic importance in Spain. In the present work, six varieties collected in Valencia (Spain) were characterised: 'Desmayo Rojo', 'Guara', 'Desmayo Largueta' and 'Marcona' (Spanish varieties), and 'Ferraduel' and 'Ferragn & egrave;s' (French varieties). The different varieties differed significantly in nutritional composition, fatty acid prof...
The development of the radicular and vegetative systems of almond trees with di...
Mondragón-Valero, Alba; Malheiro, Ricardo; Salazar, Domingo M.; Martínez-Tomé, Juan; Pereira, J.A.; Lopéz-Cortés, IsabelAim of study: Recently, the development of almond crops on a global scale has increased their area under cultivation. The demand for both plants and products that stimulate the growth of almond trees has therefore become increasingly necessary. Accordingly, in this project we have studied the response in the vegetative and root systems of almond trees with different rootstocks to varying inputs of several root ...

Rodrigues, Nuno; López, Isabel; Pinto, A.; Peres, António M.; Baptista, Paula; Salazar, Domingo M.; Pereira, J.A.Na atualidade existe uma grande diversidade de variedades de amendoeira no mercado, com comportamento e caraterísticas distintas. O presente trabalho teve por objetivo caracterizar morfologicamente frutos e sementes de 13 variedades de amendoeira, Prunus dulcis L, cultivadas em dois anos distintos (2015 e 2016) na região espanhola de Valência. Foram selecionadas as variedades: Antoneta, Atocha, Belona, Constant...

Fernandes, Luana; Pereira, J.A.; Lopéz-Cortés, Isabel; Salazar, Domingo M.; González-Álvarez, Julia; Ramalhosa, ElsaNine pomegranate cultivars grown in Spain were selected, and their physicochemical (total soluble solids, pH, titratable acidity, maturity index, monomeric anthocyanin pigment, flavonoids, hydrolyzable tannins, and vitamin C) and antioxidant properties and polyphenolic composition of the juices were compared. A total of 53 polyphenols were identified, showing cultivars different profiles. Of all nine cultivars,...

Fatty acid, vitamin E and sterols composition of seed oils from nine different ...
Fernandes, Luana; Pereira, J.A.; Lopéz-Cortés, Isabel; Salazar, Domingo M.; Ramalhosa, Elsa; Casal, SusanaThe present study was conducted to determine the major bioactive lipid components of the seed oils of nine pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) cultivars grown in Spain, namely fatty acids, vitamin E and sterol compositions. The seeds yielded oil contents ranging from 4.44% to 13.70% of dry matter and showed high contents of polyunsaturated fatty acids (86.7–90.3%). The predominant fatty acid was 9,11,13-octadeca-t...
Physicochemical changes and antioxidant activity of juice, skin, pellicle and s...
Fernandes, Luana; Pereira, J.A.; Lopéz-Cortés, Isabel; Salazar, Domingo M.; Ramalhosa, ElsaIn the present work, we investigate how the degree of ripeness (low, low-medium, medium and medium-high) affects the physical and compositional changes, as well as antioxidant properties of pomegranate fruit (cv. Mollar de Elche). The skin, pellicle, seed and juice were analysed. The fruit mass increased and the fruit skin became reddish (higher a* and lower h*) as the fruit ripening progressed. The lowest conc...

Fernandes, Luana; Pereira, J.A.; Lopéz-Cortés, Isabel; Salazar, Domingo M.; Ramalhosa, Elsa; Casal, SusanaPomegranate (Punica granatum L.) is an ancient fruit tree traditionally cultivated in the Near and Middle East. Presently, its most important growing regions include Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, USA, Italy and Spain, the latter country the largest European exporter. The pomegranate fruit can be divided into several anatomical compartments: outside peel, inside peel, and arils (pulp and seeds), the last part being...

Fernandes, Luana; Pereira, J.A.; Lopéz-Cortés, Isabel; Salazar, Domingo M.; Ramalhosa, ElsaA casca de romã é um subproduto importante da indústria de bebidas elaboradas à base deste fruto. Até ao momento, geralmente a casca não é utilizada para outros fins, sendo desperdiçada. Nesse sentido, de forma a valorizar este subproduto, o presente estudo teve como objetivo proceder à determinação da presença de taninos hidrolisáveis, flavonóides e atividade antioxidante da casca de nove cultivares produzidas...
