Mackerel and Seaweed Burger as a Functional Product for Brain and Cognitive Agi...
Cardoso, Carlos; Valentim, Jorge; Gomes, Romina; Matos, Joana; Rego, Andreia; Coelho, Inês; Delgado, Inês; Motta, Carla; Castanheira, IsabelMost world countries are experiencing a remarkable aging process. Meanwhile, 50 million people are affected by Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and related dementia and there is an increasing trend in the incidence of these major health problems. In order to address these, the increasing evidence suggesting the protective effect of dietary interventions against cognitive decline during aging may suggest a response to t...
Key constituents and antioxidant activity of novel functional foods developed w...
Guarda, Inês; Fonseca, Inês; Pereira, Hugo; Martins, Luisa Louro; Gomes, Romina; Matos, Joana; Gomes-Bispo, Ana; Bandarra, Narcisa MariaA recently isolated microalgal strain of Skeletonema sp. (Skt) has shown relevant bioactivities. Novel functional foods incorporating this strain were studied: a 3%, w/w, Skeletonema cookie (Skt Ck) and a 2%, w/w, Skeletonema sauce (Skt Sc), which were compared with a control cookie (Ctl Ck) and a control sauce (Ctl Sc), respectively. The fatty acid (FA) profile of the microalgal biomass was characterized by a ...
Elemental composition and bioaccessibility of three insufficiently studied Azor...
Afonso, Claúdia; Matos, Joana; Campos, Ana M.; Gomes, Romina; Delgado, Inês; Coelho, Inês; Castanheira, Isabel; Bandarra, Narcisa M.; Cardoso, CarlosThe elemental composition and bioaccessibility of the Azorean macroalgae Petalonia binghamiae, Osmundea pinnatifida and Halopteris scoparia were studied. H. scoparia had the highest Cr, Mn, Co and Ni contents. Iodine content was also the highest in H. scoparia, 1098 ± 54 mg kg dw−1. Content reductions due to rehydration were in the 75%–90% range. Steaming led to similar reductions with exception of Cr, Mn, Co, ...
Elemental composition and bioaccessibility of farmed oysters (Crassostrea gigas...
Cardoso, Carlos; Gomes, Romina; Rato, Ana; Joaquim, Sandra; Machado, Jorge; Gonçalves, José Fernando; Vaz‐Pires, Paulo; Magnoni, LeonardoThe Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) culture has been expanding, thereby leading to a greater importance of hatcheries. Broodstock conditioning is very important in the hatchery process, in which diet composition may have a strong influence on the offspring production and quality. Therefore, the current study evaluated elemental composition and bioaccessibility of oysters fed different ratios of dietary seawe...
