Performance, nutrient digestibility and physiological resilience of juvenile gi...
Mendes, Rodrigo; Teodósio, Rita; Dias, Jorge; Fachadas Gato Coelho Gonçalves, Ana Teresa; Galileu Speranza, Lais; Magalhães, Sara; Aires, TiagoAquafeeds formulated with organic or circular economy-derived ingredients aim to enhance sustainability and consumer acceptance. This study evaluated the global warming potential (GWP) and digestibility of such feeds, and assessed their effects on performance, feed utilisation and physiological resilience, defined as the ability to maintain tissue function and integrity under different feeding conditions of juv...
Life cycle assessment of integrated multi-trophic aquaculture: a review on meth...
Hala, Ahmad Furqan; Chougule, Komal; Cunha, Maria; Caria Mendes, Madalena; Oliveira, Inês; Bradley, Tom; Forbes, Jonathan; Galileu Speranza, LaisThe increase in aquaculture activity is inevitable to fulfil global food provisioning for a growing population. Therefore, it is most recommendable to develop a sustainable approach for aquaculture practice. Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA) is proposed as one solution taking advantage of circular uptake of nutrients within the system. IMTA practice has been conducted for a thousand years despite only...
Tannin-based coagulant for harvesting microalgae cultivated in wastewater: Effi...
Teixeira, Mariana Souza; Galileu Speranza, Lais; da Silva, Isabel Costacurta; Moruzzi, Rodrigo Braga; Silva, Gustavo Henrique RibeiroTannin-based coagulants (TBCs) have the potential to be used to harvest microalgae cultivated at wastewater treatment plants. Their use would address the circular economy associated with the production of low-toxicity biomass and supernatant. Studies in this field are still scarce, and substantial gaps exist in the definitions of the flocculation process parameters. In this context, the objective of this work w...
Algae as food in Europe: an overview of species diversity and their application
Mendes, Madalena; Navalho, Sofia; Ferreira, Alice; Paulino, Cristina; Figueiredo, Daniel; Silva, Daniel; Gao, Fengzheng; Gama, Florinda; Bombo, GabrielAlgae have been consumed for millennia in several parts of the world as food, food supplements, and additives, due to their unique organoleptic properties and nutritional and health benefits. Algae are sustainable sources of proteins, minerals, and fiber, with well-balanced essential amino acids, pigments, and fatty acids, among other relevant metabolites for human nutrition. This review covers the historical c...
