Special Bioactivities of Phenolics from Acacia dealbata L. with Potential for D...
Paula, Vanessa; Pedro, Soraia I.; Campos, Maria G.; Delgado, Teresa; Estevinho, Letícia M.; Anjos, OféliaSome diseases still need better therapeutic approaches, including the prevention of development. Natural resources are investigated with this purpose; among them, we decided to use an invasive plant as a main strategy. This will help in two ways: screening new compounds in flowers prevents the plant from causing widespread damage by controlling the dissemination and also obtains crude material for further appli...

Enzyme Inhibitory Potential of Ligustrum lucidum Aiton Berries
Paula, Vanessa B.; Delgado, Teresa; Campos, Maria Graça; Anjos, Ofélia; Estevinho, Leticia M.Ligustrum lucidum Aiton and its berries have been used in Chinese traditional medicine for around two thousand years. In the present study, L. lucidium berries harvested in two regions of Portugal were studied. Haemolytic activity and inhibition of oxidative haemolysis as well as the enzyme inhibitory activities (α-amylase enzyme and acetylcholinesterase) were assessed. Results suggest that the different biolog...
Bee pollen as a natural antioxidant source to prevent lipid oxidation in black ...
Anjos, Ofélia; Fernandes, Rodrigo; Cardoso, Susana M.; Delgado, Teresa; Farinha, Nelson; Paula, Vanessa; Estevinho, Letícia M.; Carpes, Solange T.The antioxidant activity of bee pollen (mainly composed by Cistus ladanifer pellets) was explored in the context of black pudding production. For this purpose, three black pudding formulations comprising varying antioxidant compounds (sodium ascorbate, bee pollen and bee pollen extract) were produced. Bee pollen was characterized according to the botanical origin, antioxidant activity, total phenol and flavonoi...

Influence of the storage conditions on the quality of bee pollen
Anjos, Ofélia; Paula, Vanessa B.; Delgado, Teresa; Estevinho, Leticia M.Bee pollen is a healthful food product with a good nutritional profile and therapeutic properties. However, the storage conditions may affect its composition and characteristics. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the storage conditions on chemical composition of different monofloral bee pollen samples, namely acidity (pH), water activity, total acidity and the content of fibre, ash, reducing sugars, pr...
