Insights into the phenolic composition and in vitro bioactivity of cardoon capi...
Mandim, Filipa; Pinela, José; Marcelino, Sandra Andreia; Dias, Maria Inês; Barracosa, Paulo; Ivanov, Marija; Soković, Marina; Santos-Buelga, CelestinoThe capitulum constituents (stigma, corolla, bracts, pappus, and receptacle) of seven cardoon cultivars were studied for their polyphenolic composition and bioactive properties. Fifteen phenolic compounds were identified, secoiridoid, secoxyloganin, and apigenin-O-hexuronoside in higher concentrations. The bracts had the highest concentration of phenolic compounds, and the corolla had the greatest variety. The ...
Masticatory function in individuals with temporomandibular disorders: a systema...
Marcelino, Vanessa; Rovere, Solene de; Paco, Maria; Gonçalves, Maria dos Prazeres; Marcelino, Sandra Andreia; Guimarães, Antonio Sergio; Pinho, TeresaThe literature search was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) protocol in the PubMed, Cochrane Library, LILACS, EBSCO, Scielo, between 2012 and 2022. The methodological quality was assessed by using the Newcastle-Ottawa Study Quality Assessment Scale. Mean differences and 95% confidence intervals were calculated and combined in meta-analyses. A ...
Pomeganate leaf extracts characterization and their potential use as a function...
Marcelino, Sandra Andreia; Mandim, Filipa; Oludemi, Taofiq; Heleno, Sandrina A.; Finimundy, Tiane C.; Prieto Lage, Miguel A.; Barros, LillianThe pomegranate tree (Punica granatum L.) is indigenous to the Mediterranean region and is one of the oldest known plants. Studies have demonstrated their many biological and pharmaceutical benefits, which have been correlated to their bioactive content, namely secondary metabolites such as phenolic compounds [1]. However, 40 to 50% of the whole fruit is discarded, such as peel and leaves, originating valuable ...
Valorization of Punica granatum l. leaves extracts as a source of bioactive mol...
Marcelino, Sandra Andreia; Mandim, Filipa; Taofiq, Oludemi; Pires, Tânia C.S.P.; Finimundy, Tiane C.; Prieto Lage, Miguel A.; Barros, LillianDue to a lack of innovative valorization strategies, pomegranate processing generates a significant amount of residues with a negative environmental footprint. These by-products are a rich source of bioactive compounds with functional and medicinal benefits. This study reports the valorization of pomegranate leaves as a source of bioactive ingredients using maceration, ultrasound, and microwave-assisted extract...
Occlusal changes with clear aligners and the case complexity influence: a longi...
Marcelino, Vanessa; Baptista, Sofia; Marcelino, Sandra Andreia; Paco, Maria; Rocha, Duarte; Gonçalves, Maria dos Prazeres; Azevedo, RuiBackground: Clear aligners (CA) are used 22 h daily, creating a bite-block effect. This work aims to (i) analyze occlusal changes before the beginning of treatment, after the first set of CA and after the use of additional aligners; (ii) compare planned occlusal contacts with the ones obtained after the first set of CA; (iii) analyze the occlusal changes occurred after reaching the orthodontic goals after 3 mon...
Genetic information influence on phenolic composition and bioactivities of Cera...
Marcelino, Sandra Andreia; Mandim, Filipa; Oludemi, Taofiq; Dias, Maria Inês; Barracosa, Paulo; Prieto Lage, Miguel A.; Barros, LillianCeratonia siliqua L., commonly known as the carob tree is native to the Mediterranean countries and is widely known and consumed. Due to its chemical constituents, flavoring properties, and nutritional benefits, it has the potential to be of significant importance to the food industry1. The carob bean is made up of 90% pulp and 10% seeds. Those seeds are widely used in the food industry as a thickening agent (E...
Valorização de ingredientes naturais na inclusão de uma dieta saudável
Marcelino, Sandra AndreiaOs consumidores, conscientes da utilização generalizada de aditivos artificiais, procuram cada vez mais por uma alimentação mais natural e, portanto, mais saudável. Esta mudança de comportamento está a forçar a indústria a responder a estes novos desafios, estando a indústria alimentar a trabalhar arduamente para se adaptar melhor a esta nova realidade. Neste trabalho foram usados três corantes de origem natura...
How do extraction methodologies influence the biological properties of pomegran...
Marcelino, Sandra Andreia; Oludemi, Taofiq; Mandim, Filipa; Finimundy, Tiane C.; Prieto Lage, Miguel A.; Barros, LillianOne of the oldest known plants is the pomegranate tree (Punica granutum L.), native to the Mediterranean region. This plant's edible and non-edible portions have been shown to provide several health advantages. It has long been recognized as a source of bioactive chemicals, such as phenolic acids, flavonoids, tannins, alkaloids and amino acids. Large amounts of industrial waste are generated during the industri...
