Chemical and bioactive characterization of blueberry bioresidues
Plasência, Paula; Heleno, S.A.; Garcia, Pablo; Barreiro, Filomena; Ferreira, Isabel C.F.R.; Barros, LillianBlueberry production has increased exponentially in recent decades due to its known high nutritional characteristics, and bioresidues originating from its culture have also increased. It is critical to limit its buildup. One strategy for directing these residues is to turn them into high-value products while investigating their potential bioactivity. The goal of this study was to produce bioactive extracts from...
Ethosomes: an approach for bioactive plant extract preservation envisaging cosm...
Plasencia, Paula; Santamaria-Echart, Arantzazu; Heleno, S.A.; Colucci, Giovana; Garcia, Pablo; Barros, Lillian; Barreiro, FilomenaThe present work is focused on upgrading the commercial potential of berry crop by-products by encapsulating them into liposomes to preserve their bioactivity. The extracts have been obtained with an ethanol-water mixture using ultrasound-assisted extraction, and the most promising ones were encapsulated in ethosome system. To achieve this goal, ethosomes were prepared using the cold method. Ethosomal suspensio...
From berry plant cropping to a cosmetic formula: sustainable upcycling of activ...
Plasencia, Paula; Heleno, S.A.; Garcia, Pablo; Barreiro, Filomena; Barros, LillianDue to the interest in berry fruit's antioxidant properties, its worldwide production has been increasing in the past two decades, as has its waste. Bioresidues produced by the agri-food industry are increasingly intrinsic to the world’s economy, and researchers are looking for new ways to enhance their use. Innovations are being developed to transform these residues into high-value raw materials with industria...

Altimetry for the future : Building on 25 years of progress
Abdalla, Saleh; Abdeh Kolahchi, Abdolnabi; Ablain, Michaël; Adusumilli, Susheel; Aich Bhowmick, Suchandra; Alou-Font, Eva; Amarouche, LaibaIn 2018 we celebrated 25 years of development of radar altimetry, and the progress achieved by this methodology in the fields of global and coastal oceanography, hydrology, geodesy and cryospheric sciences. Many symbolic major events have celebrated these developments, e.g., in Venice, Italy, the 15th (2006) and 20th (2012) years of progress and more recently, in 2018, in Ponta Delgada, Portugal, 25 Years of Pr...
Croma: vol.8, nº15 (Jan./Jun. 2020)
Queiroz, João Paulo; Lopes, Almerinda; Camargo, Carlos; Zanatta, Cláudia; Braga, Márcia; Vaccarello, Dennise; Silveira, Isabel; caseirao, armandoReuniram-se na Revista CROMA 15, sob o tema maior dos artistas abordando a obra de seus companheiros de profissão, e dentro destes, aqueles com maior intervenção junto das comunidades visando a sua mudança. São 16 artigos que têm em comum a perspetiva sobre um artista interventivo, inquirindo sobre qual a ligação mais forte, e mais fraca, com as ilhas e os continentes locais em necessária descolonização sem abd...
Extração de compostos bioativos de folhas de mirtilo por metodologias verdes
Plasência, Paula; Ferreira, Isabel; Barreiro, Filomena; Garcia, Pablomirtilo faz parte do grupo de frutos de baga com a maior concentração de compostos antioxidantes, maioritariamente antocianinas e outros flavonoides. Como resultado do interesse nas suas propriedades antioxidantes, a sua produção mundial tem vindo a aumentar desde 2005, tendo atingido em 2017 um valor de quase 600 Kton, sendo a Europa responsável por 18,4% da sua produção líquida. Até ao momento, as folhas de m...
