Cinnamomum burmannii decoction: a thickening and flavouring ingredient
Nunes, Cláudia; de J. Raposo, M. Filomena; Petronilho, Sílvia; Machado, Fernanda; Fulgêncio, Rita; Gomes, M. Helena; Evtuguin, Dmitry V.Cinnamon is a spice widely used as a flavouring agent in foodstuffs. Despite its commercial availability and low cost, C. burmannii aqueous extracts obtained by decoction originate high viscous solutions (1545 cP) when compared with C. verum (51 cP), preventing its broad use by food industry. Following the hypothesis that cinnamon polysaccharides are responsible for this viscosity, in this work, the hot water-s...
Polysaccharide Structures and Their Hypocholesterolemic Potential
Silva, Inês M. V.; Machado, Fernanda; Moreno, Maria João; Nunes, Cláudia; Coimbra, Manuel A.; Coreta-Gomes, FilipeSeveral classes of polysaccharides have been described to have hypocholesterolemic potential, namely cholesterol bioaccessibility and bioavailability. This review will highlight the main mechanisms by which polysaccharides are known to affect cholesterol homeostasis at the intestine, namely the effect (i) of polysaccharide viscosity and its influence on cholesterol bioaccessibility; (ii) on bile salt sequestrat...
In Vitro Hypocholesterolemic Effect of Coffee Compounds
Coreta-Gomes, Filipe Manuel; Lopes, Guido R.; Passos, Cláudia P.; Vaz, Inês M.; Machado, Fernanda; Geraldes, Carlos F. G. C.; Moreno, Maria João(1) Background: Cholesterol bioaccessibility is an indicator of cholesterol that is available for absorption and therefore can be a measure of hypocholesterolemic potential. In this work, the effect of commercial espresso coffee and coffee extracts on cholesterol solubility are studied in an in vitro model composed by glycodeoxycholic bile salt, as a measure of its bioaccessibility. (2) Methods: Polysaccharide ...
