Challenges for future food systems: from the Green Revolution to food supply ch...
Soria‐Lopez, Antón; García-Pérez, Pascual; Carpena, María; García-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 ...
Plant antioxidants from agricultural waste: synergistic potential with other bi...
Carpena Rodríguez, María; García-Oliveira, Paula; González Pereira, Antía; Soria-Lopez, Anton; Chamorro Rivo, Franklin Noel; Collazo, NicolasThe increasing world population entails a great necessity to produce large amounts of food, leading to an increase in organic waste. Unlike traditional agriculture, based on the circular sustainability, modern agriculture produces tons of residues, which are accumulated in landfills or, in some cases, burnt. Numerous studies have demonstrated that agricultural residues are rich in bioactive compounds, particu- ...
Seafood processing, preservation, and analytical techniques in the age of indus...
Hassoun, Abdo; Siddiqui, Shahida Anusha; Smaoui, Slim; Ucak, İlknur; Arshad, Rai Naveed; García-Oliveira, Paula; Prieto Lage, Miguel A.Fish and other seafood products are essential dietary components that are highly appreciated and consumed worldwide. However, the high perishability of these products has driven the development of a wide range of processing, preservation, and analytical techniques. This development has been accelerated in recent years with the advent of the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0) technologies, digitally tra...
Biological properties and potential of compounds extracted from red seaweeds
Carpena Rodríguez, María; García-Pérez, Pascual; García-Oliveira, Paula; Chamorro Rivo, Franklin Noel; Otero, Paz; Lourenço-Lopes, Catarina; Cao, HuiMacroalgae have been recently used for different applications in the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industry since they do not compete for land and freshwater against other resources. Moreover, they have been highlighted as a potential source of bioactive compounds. Red algae (Rhodo- phyta) are the largest group of seaweeds, including around 6000 different species, thus it can be hypoth- esized that they are...
Seaweed-derived proteins and peptides: promising marine bioactives
Echave Álvarez, Javier; Otero, Paz; García-Oliveira, Paula; Munekata, Paulo E.S.; Pateiro, Mirian; Lorenzo Rodriguez, Jose Manuel; Simal-Gandara, JesusSeaweeds are a typical food of East-Asian cuisine, to which are alleged several beneficial health effects have been attributed. Their availability and their nutritional and chemical composition have favored the increase in its consumption worldwide, as well as a focus of research due to their bioactive properties. In this regard, seaweed proteins are nutritionally valuable and comprise several specific enzymes,...

Benefits and drawbacks of ultrasound-assisted extraction for the recovery of bi...
Carreira Casais, Anxo; Otero, Paz; Garcia-Perez, Pascual; García-Oliveira, Paula; González Pereira, Antía; Carpena Rodríguez, María; Soria-Lopez, AntonThe increase in life expectancy has led to the appearance of chronic diseases and interest in healthy aging, in turn promoting a growing interest in bioactive compounds (BCs) and functional ingredients. There are certain foods or products rich in functional ingredients, and algae are one of them. Algae consumption has been nominal in Europe until now. However, in recent years, it has grown significantly, partly...
The use of invasive algae species as a source of secondary metabolites and biol...
González Pereira, Antía; Fraga-Corral, Maria; García-Oliveira, Paula; Lourenço-Lopes, Catarina; Carpena Rodríguez, María; Prieto Lage, Miguel A.In the recent decades, algae have proven to be a source of different bioactive compounds with biological activities, which has increased the potential application of these organisms in food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, animal feed, and other industrial sectors. On the other hand, there is a growing interest in developing effective strategies for control and/or eradication of invasive algae since they have a negat...
By-products of agri-food industry as tannin-rich sources: a review of tannins’ ...
Fraga-Corral, Maria; Otero, Paz; Echave Álvarez, Javier; García-Oliveira, Paula; Carpena Rodríguez, María; Jarboui, Amira; Núñez Estévez, BernabéDuring recent decades, consumers have been continuously moving towards the substitution of synthetic ingredients of the food industry by natural products, obtained from vegetal, animal or microbial sources. Additionally, a circular economy has been proposed as the most efficient production system since it allows for reducing and reutilizing different wastes. Current agriculture is responsible for producing high...
Protein oxidation in muscle foods: a comprehensive review
Domínguez, Rubén; Pateiro, Mirian; Munekata, Paulo E.S.; Zhang, Wangang; García-Oliveira, Paula; Carpena Rodríguez, María; Prieto Lage, Miguel A.Muscle foods and their products are a fundamental part of the human diet. The high protein content found in muscle foods, as well as the high content of essential amino acids, provides an appropriate composition to complete the nutritional requirements of humans. However, due to their special composition, they are susceptible to oxidative degradation. In this sense, proteins are highly susceptible to oxidative ...
