Chemical composition and antioxidant potential of five algae cultivated in full...

Nova, Paulo; Pimenta-Martins, Ana; Maricato, Élia; Nunes, Cláudia; Abreu, Helena; Coimbra, Manuel A.; Freitas, Ana Cristina; Gomes, Ana Maria

In this study, the chemical composition and antioxidant profile of five edible macroalgae, Fucus vesiculosus, Palmaria palmata, Porphyra dioica, Ulva rigida, and Gracilaria gracilis, cultivated in fully controlled closed systems, were determined. Protein, carbohydrates, and fat contents ranged between 12.4% and 41.8%, 27.6% and 42.0%, and 0.1% and 3.4%, respectively. The tested seaweeds presented considerable a...


Extraction of nannochloropsis fatty acids using different green technologies: t...

Sousa, Sérgio Cruz; Freitas, Ana Cristina; Gomes, Ana Maria; Carvalho, Ana P.

Nannochloropsis is a genus of microalgae widely recognized as potential sources of distinct lipids, particularly polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). These may be obtained through extraction, which has conventionally been performed using hazardous organic solvents. To substitute such solvents with “greener” alternatives, several technologies have been studied to increase their extraction potential. Distinct tech...

Marine algae have been emerging as natural sources of bioactive compounds, such as soluble dietary fibers and peptides, presenting special interest as ingredients for functional foods. This study developed a cheese spread incorporating red seaweed Osmundea pinnatifida extract and subsequently characterized it in terms of nutritional, pH, and microbiological parameters and bioactivities including prebiotic, anti...

Plant-based protein products as alternatives to animal-based protein counterparts are becoming increasingly available given their alignment with the increased environmental, health, and ethical focus of consumers. Among these are plant-based dairy alternatives, which respond to increased lactose intolerance as well as veganism. One of the most important challenges in such product development is the need to sele...

Effect of emulsification/internal gelation-based microencapsulation on the viab...

Almeida, Diana; Machado, Daniela; Sousa, Sérgio; Seabra, Catarina Leal; Barbosa, Joana Cristina; Andrade, José Carlos; Gomes, Ana Maria

Akkermansia muciniphila is a common human intestinal commensal with a mucin-degrading nature. Its immunomodulatory characteristics and regulatory role of mucus layer and gut barrier integrity highlight the potential benefits of using this bacterium as an interventional player against inflammatory/cardio-metabolic disorders.In this work, we evaluate the effect of microencapsulation by the emulsification/internal...

Machado, Daniela; Barbosa, Joana; Domingos, Melany; Almeida, Diana; Andrade, José Carlos; Freitas, Ana Cristina; Gomes, Ana Maria

Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, a resident anaerobic bacterium commonly found in healthy gut microbiota, has been proposed as a next generation probiotic with high potential for application in food matrices and pharmaceutical formulations. Despite its recognized health benefits, detailed information regarding its antimicrobial susceptibility profile is still lacking. However, this information is crucial to determ...
