Structural characterization of exopolysaccharides obtained from Porphyridium cr...
Cristofoli, Nathana L.; Lima, Alexandre R.; Costa, Ana M. Rosa da; Evtyugin, Dmitry; Silva, Carlos; Varela, João; Vieira, Margarida C.Microalgae produce and secrete large quantities of polysaccharides into the culture medium that is discarded when biomass is separated. The main objective of this study was to add value to the exhausted culture medium (ECM) of Porphyridium cruentum through the recovery of extracellular polysaccharides (EPS) by different extracting and purifying methods for the future biotechnological applications. The ECM was s...
Shelf‐life study of a Salicornia ramosissima vegetable salt: an alternative to ...
Lima, Alexandre R.; Cristofoli, Nathana L.; Filippidis, Kyriakos; Barreira, Luísa; Vieira, MargaridaWaste of Salicornia ramosissima a halophyte plant used in gourmet cuisine, can be valorized after being dried and milled, becoming a vegetable salt, a healthier replacer of kitchen salt due to its lower sodium content (around 10-fold less) but still maintaining an intense salty taste. To study the shelf life of this vegetable salt from S. ramosissima, packed in a cylindrical aluminum box, an accelerated shelf-l...
Influence of cultivation salinity in the nutritional composition, antioxidant c...
Lima, Alexandre R.; Castaneda-Loaiza, Viana; Salazar, Miguel; Nunes, Carla; Quintas, Celia; Gama, Florinda; Pestana, Maribela; Correia, Pedro J.the consumption of halophytes as healthy gourmet food has increased considerably in the past few years. However, knowledge on the nutritional profile of domesticated halophytes is scarce and little is known on which cultivation conditions can produce plants with the best nutritional and functional properties. In this context, Salicornia ramosissima J. Woods was cultivated in six different salt concentrations, r...
