Emerging technologies to extract Fucoxanthin from Undaria pinnatifida: microwav...
Lourenco-Lopes, Catarina; Carreira-Casais, Anxo; Carpena Rodríguez, María; Barral Martínez, Marta; Chamorro, Franklin; Jiménez López, CecíliaMacroalgae are an extensive resource for the obtention of bioactive compounds, mainly phenolic compounds, phlorotannins, and pigments. Fucoxanthin (Fx) is the most abundant pigment present in brown algae and has shown several useful bioactivities that can be used to fortify products in the food and cosmetic industries. Nevertheless, to date, there is still insufficient literature reporting on the extraction yie...
Evolution of flavors in extra virgin olive oil shelf-life
García-Oliveira, Paula; Jiménez López, Cecília; Lourenço-Lopes, Catarina; Chamorro Rivo, Franklin Noel; González Pereira, Antía; Carreira Casais, AnxoExtra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is one of the most distinctive ingredients of the Mediterranean diet. There are many properties related to this golden ingredient, from supreme organoleptic characteristics to benefits for human health. EVOO contains in its composition molecules capable of exerting bioactivities such as cardio protection, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, and anticancer activity, among ...
Main bioactive phenolic compounds in marine algae and their mechanisms of actio...
Jiménez López, Cecília; González Pereira, Antía; Lourenço-Lopes, Catarina; García-Oliveira, Paula; Cassani, Lucia; Fraga-Corral, MariaGiven the growing tendency of consumers to choose products with natural ingredients, food industries have directed scientific research in this direction. In this regard, algae are an attractive option for the research, since they can synthesize a group of secondary metabolites, called phenolic compounds, associated with really promising properties and bioactivities. The objective of this work was to classify th...
Biological action mechanisms of fucoxanthin extracted from algae for applicatio...
Lourenço-Lopes, Catarina; Fraga-Corral, Maria; Jiménez López, Cecília; Carpena Rodríguez, María; González Pereira, Antía; García-Oliveira, PaulaBackground: Fucoxanthin is a pigment present in diverse marine organisms such as micro and macro-algae. The most relevant source of fucoxanthin has been described to be the group of the brown macroalgae, also known as Phaeophyceae. The presence of the fucoxanthin, a xanthophyll, found as an accessory pigment in the chloroplasts of the brown algae is responsible for providing them their characteristic color. The...
Scientific basis for the industrialization of traditionally used plants of the ...
García-Oliveira, Paula; Fraga-Corral, Maria; González Pereira, Antía; Lourenço-Lopes, Catarina; Jiménez López, Cecília; Prieto Lage, Miguel A.© 2020 Elsevier Ltd Plants have been traditionally used for the treatment of different types of illness, due to biomolecules with recognised benefits. Rosaceae family is used in traditional Galician medicine. The following plants Agrimonia eupatoria, Crataegus monogyna, Filipendula ulmaria, Geum urbanum, Potentilla erecta and Rosa canina are usually found in treatments. The aim of this study is to perform an et...
Extraction of phenolic compounds by high hydrostatic pressure from eight edible...
Pereira, Antia Gonzalez; Jiménez López, Cecília; Lopes, C.S.P.L.; Barros, Lillian; Prieto Lage, Miguel A.; Ferreira, Isabel C.F.R.; Simal-Gandara, JesusTwo thirds of the word are covered by oceans and a vast majority of that upper layer are inhabited by photoautotrophic organisms such as algae. Algae are not only of high ecological, but also of great economic importance. The industrial exploitation of algae has suffered a boom in the last two decades, revealing a source of compounds relevant to a diverse range of sectors (agriculture, energy, food science, co...
Stability of a cyanidin-3-O-glucoside extract obtained from Arbutus unedo L. an...
Jiménez López, Cecília; Caleja, Cristina; Prieto Lage, Miguel A.; Soković, Marina; Calhelha, Ricardo C.; Barros, Lillian; Ferreira, Isabel C.F.R.An extract from Arbutus unedo fruits, rich in anthocyanins, was studied as a natural colorant with bioactive properties (antioxidant, antimicrobial and cytotoxic). The aqueous stability of the extract was monitored using the anthocyanins’ content as response (determined by HPLC-DAD) in function of time, temperature and pH. Aided by mechanistic/phenomenological models, the conditions that favours the stabilizati...
Optimization and stabilization ofa cyanidin-3-O-glucoside rich extract obtained...
Jiménez López, Cecília; Caleja, Cristina; Reis, Filipa S.; Prieto Lage, Miguel A.; Barros, Lillian; Ferreira, Isabel C.F.R.Currently, there is a tendency for consumers to choose more natural foods [l]. Anthocyanins are secondary metabolites ofplants that have aroused industry attenüon for its coloring potential combined with confirmation ofvarious beneficiai efFects to human health [2]. However, due to their very sensitive chemical structure to several factors such as temperature, pH, oxygen and light, studies that allow its stabi...
Aplicação em waffles de um corante natural obtido de frutos de Arbutus unedo L.
Jiménez López, Cecília; Caleja, Cristina; Corrêa, Rúbia C.G.; Dias, Maria Inês; Prieto Lage, Miguel A.; Barreiro, M.F.; Barros, LillianOs corantes são um dos aditivos mais importantes em termos de marketing, uma vez que a cor pode influenciar diretamente as escolhas e preferências dos consumidores [1]. No entanto, têm sido descritos alguns efeitos indesejáveis de determinados corantes artificiais. Contrariamente, os corantes naturais (e.g. ricos em compostos antociânicos) são genericamente considerados inofensivos, para além de poderem proporc...
Optimization and comparison of heat and ultrasound assisted extraction techniqu...
Jiménez López, Cecília; Caleja, Cristina; Prieto Lage, Miguel A.; Barreiro, M.F.; Barros, Lillian; Ferreira, Isabel C.F.R.The goal of this study was to compare anthocyanin extraction from Arbutus unedo L. fruits, by using two techniques assisted by different energy sources, heat and ultrasound. In order to obtain the conditions that maximize anthocyanin extraction, a response surface methodology was applied using the circumscribed central composite design of three variables with five levels. Three anthocyanin compounds were identi...
