Impact of in vitro gastrointestinal digestion on upcycled blackcurrant dried ex...
Sousa, Ana Sofia; Vilas-Boas, Ana A.; Gómez-García, Ricardo; Alonso, Mercedes; De Biasio, Filomena; Gorgoglione, Domenico; Fajardo, PaulaPomaces, the major by-product of fruit juice processing industries, is rich in bioactive compounds. Among them, polyphenols boost the body's antioxidant capacity, improving cardiovascular health, reducing the risk of diabetes and inflammation, and promoting intestinal microbiota health. Blackcurrant (Ribes nigrum L.) is a highly antioxidant berry rich in anthocyanins, a polyphenols class that also gives the fru...
Rotondas red eggplant: nutritional characterization and extractionof high added...
Santos, Pedro Miguel Ferreira; Duca, Anna; Genisheva, Zlatina; De Biasio, Filomena; Gorgoglione, Domenico; Rocha, Cristina M. R.; Teixeira, J. A.Rotondas Red Eggplant belongs to the family of Solanum aethiopicum species, cultivated in a specific area of Potenza (Basilicata, Italy) and has gained the Protected Designation of Origin certification. Recently, Red Eggplant was associated with different biological properties, related to health benefits, as antioxidant, hypoglycemic, antihypertensive and hypolipidemic, probably due to its chemical composition....
Extracts from red eggplant: impact of ohmic heating and different extraction so...
Ferreira-Santos, Pedro; Duca, Anna Barbara; Genisheva, Zlatina; Silva, Beatriz Nunes; Biasio, Filomena de; Botelho, Cláudia; Rocha, Cristina M.R.Eggplants contain a multitude of biocompounds with nutritional and/or biological activities. The objective of this work was to study the nutritional, chemical and bioactive value of red eggplant from Rotonda, Italy. Ohmic heating (OH) was compared to conventional heating, as different solvents were used (water, ethanol 30, 50, and 90%and methanol) for biocompounds extraction. Extracts were evaluated for their t...
Influence of thermal and electrical effects of ohmic heating on C-phycocyanin p...
Santos, Pedro Miguel Ferreira; Nunes, R.; De Biasio, Filomena; Spigno, Giorgia; Gorgoglione, Domenico; Teixeira, J. A.; Rocha, Cristina M. R.Spirulina platensis is interesting for the food industry due to its overall composition and high content in C-phycocyanin. However, the sensitivity of C-phycocyanin makes its extraction a delicate process. The present study focuses on assessing the use of ohmic heating (OH) in the recovery of C-phycocyanin and other relevant compounds as an alternative method to freeze-thawing or conventional heating. Different...
Biocompounds recovery from Spirulina by conventional and ohmic heating methodol...
Ferreira-Santos, P.; Nunes, R.; Di Biasio, Filomena; Rocha, Cristina M. R.; Gorgoglione, Domenico; Spigno, Giorgia; Teixeira, J. A.Extracting the totality of bio-compounds with industrial interest from Cyanobacterium is often prevented by the intrinsic rigidity of its cell wall. In this sense, the present study focuses on evaluating the influence thermal batch extraction (conventional extraction technologies) and ohmic heating (OH) assisted extraction (considered a greener alternative technology) in blue green microalgae Arthrospira platen...
