Nutraceuticals and oxidative stress
Donn, Pauline; Seyyedi-Mansour, Sepidar; Perez-Vazquez, Ana; Barciela, Paula; Fraga-Corral, Maria; Chamorro, Franklin; Cassani, LuciaSeveral studies have found a link between oxidative stress and a variety of noncommunicable diseases including diabetes, obesity, aging, Down syndrome, cancers, cardiovascular, and neurodegenerative diseases. All these pathologies are aided by oxidative stress, which is caused by the excessive production of free radicals or insufficient elimination of free radicals. To avoid, reduce, or eliminate this imbalance...
Toxicity and safety of nutraceuticals
Barciela, Paula; Perez-Vazquez, Ana; Mansour, Sepidar; Donn, Pauline; Garcia-Perez, P.; Carpena, Maria; Fraga-Corral, Maria; Simal-Gandara, JesusCurrently, consumers are more conscious about the importance of having a good diet and lifestyle; so the demand for products with potential health benefits has increased. Nutraceuticals can be classified according to different criteria. Based on their chemical structure, they can be divided into phenolic compounds, fatty acids and structural lipids, carbohydrates and amino-acids derivatives, minerals, and terpe...
Non-alkaloid nitrogen-containing compounds from fungi
Hached, Hanine; Cassani, Lucia; Zbiss, Yosra; Fraga-Corral, Maria; Oliveira, Izamara; Pereira, Antia Gonzalez; Prieto Lage, Miguel A.Fungi represent an ancient ubiquitous and interesting kingdom that can be classified into Phycomycota, Oomycota, Microsporidiomycota, Zygomycota, Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, and Deuteromycota divisions. These microorganisms are considered as a reservoir of bioactive compounds that can be exploited in crucial fields: food, pharmaceutical, and agricultural industries. Non-alkaloid nitrogenated compounds are consid...
Challenges for future food systems: from the Green Revolution to food supply ch...
Soria‐Lopez, Anton; Garcia‐Perez, Pascual; Carpena, Maria; Garciá‐Oliveira, Paula; Otero, Paz; Fraga-Corral, Maria; Cao, Hui; Prieto Lage, Miguel A.Finding a food system to feed the growing worldwide population remains a challenge, especially in the current era, where natural resources are being dramatically depleted. From a historical point of view, the Green Revolution, together with biofortification and sustainable intensification, was established as a possible solution to counter hunger and malnutrition during the second half of the 20th century. As a ...

Profiling of Phenolic Compounds in Citrus Flowers and Their Biological Activities
Seyyedi-Mansour, Sepidar; Carpena Rodríguez, María; Donn, Pauline; Garcia-Oliveira, Paula; Echave Álvarez, Javier; Barciela, Paula; Fraga-Corral, MariaCitrus, a genus of flowering plants in the Rutaceae family, holds substantial market importance as a crop worldwide. After prolonged periods of breeding and extensive hybridization, numerous species have emerged, each possessing a unique metabolism that produces a diverse array of secondary metabolites. It is important to note that phenolic compounds, in particular phenols and flavonoids, are among the most imp...
Sulfur-containing compounds from plants
Castro, Vera; Carpena Rodríguez, María; Fraga-Corral, Maria; Lopez-Soria, A.; Garcia-Perez, Pascual; Barral Martínez, Marta; Perez-Gregorio, R.Sulfur (S) is an essential nutrient assimilated through the diet and incorporated into organic structures such as amino acids, coenzymes, and other bioactive compounds. Plants’ ability to regulate stress resistance via secondary metabolism has extended the interest in S-containing compounds, driven by their additional properties as bioactive molecules. Among plant families that produce S-compounds, the Brassica...
Seaweed polysaccharides: emerging extraction technologies, chemical modificatio...
Otero, Paz; Carpena Rodríguez, María; Garcia-Oliveira, Paula; Echave Álvarez, Javier; Soria-Lopez, Anton; García-Pérez, Pascual; Fraga-Corral, MariaNowadays, consumers are increasingly aware of the relationship between diet and health, showing a greater preference of products from natural origin. In the last decade, seaweeds have outlined as one of the natural sources with more potential to obtain bioactive carbohydrates. Numerous seaweed polysaccharides have aroused the interest of the scientific community, due to their biological activities and their hig...
A HPLC‐DAD method for identifying and estimating the content of fucoxanthin, β‐...
Lourenço-Lopes, Catarina; Fraga-Corral, Maria; Garcia-Perez, Pascual; Carreira-Casais, Anxo; Silva, Aurora; Simal-Gandara, Jesus; Prieto Lage, Miguel A.Seaweeds are photosynthetic organisms that have high contents of pigments. The coloration of each alga is defined by the content and combination of pigments synthesized, which varies among species and environmental condi- tions. The most abundant pigments in algae are chlorophylls and carotenoids, lipophilic molecules that can be used as natural colorants and have high acceptance by consumers. In this work, a s...
Single-cell proteins obtained by circular economy intended as a feed ingredient...
González Pereira, Antía; Fraga-Corral, Maria; Garcia-Oliveira, Paula; Otero, Paz; Soria-Lopez, Anton; Cassani, Lucia; Cao, Hui; Xiao, JianboThe constant increment in the world's population leads to a parallel increase in the demand for food. This situation gives place the need for urgent development of alternative and sustainable resources to satisfy this nutritional requirement. Human nutrition is currently based on fisheries, which accounts for 50% of the fish production for human consumption, but also on agriculture, livestock, and aquaculture. ...
