Grape Winemaking By-Products: Current Valorization Strategies and Their Value a...
Echave, Javier; González Pereira, Antía; Jorge, Ana O. S.; Barciela, Paula; Nogueira-Marques, Rafael; Yuksek, Ezgi N.; Oliveira, María B. P. P.Grape (Vitis vinifera L.) is one of the most extensively cultivated crops in temperate climates, with its primary fate being wine production, which is paired with a great generation of grape pomace (GP). GP contains a plethora of antioxidant phenolic compounds, being well-known for its high content of various tannins, liable for the astringency of this fruit. Winemaking produces a great mass of by-products that...
Enhancing the detection of Dinophysis spp. using electrochemical genosensors
Pereira, Eduarda; Silva, Aurora; Morais, Stephanie L.; Costa-Rama, Estefanía; Moreira, Patrícia R.; Fraga-Corral, M.; Torrado, Ana M.Background: Harmful algal blooms (HABs) pose a significant threat to the environment and public health. These blooms are defined by an accumulation of microscopic algae in water, and they can occur in lakes, rivers, estuaries, or coastal areas. Factors like the unregulated runoff of agricultural and industrial wastes into the aquatic environment [1] are believed to have transformed these ecosystems into favorab...
Is it possible to prevent Harmful Algal Blooms? An electrochemical genosensor t...
Pereira, Eduarda; Silva, Aurora; Morais, Stephanie L.; Costa-Rama, Estefanía; Moreira, Patrícia R.; Fraga-Corral, M.; Torrado, Ana M.Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) are a very common phenomenon in the last few years that results from the accumulation of microalgae, such as dinoflagellates of the Dinophysis genus. Hence, the development of analytical technologies capable of detecting these microorganisms and thereby avoiding environmental and public health crisis, has become a major priority. Biosensors have been gaining recognition lately given ...

Antibacterial Use of Macroalgae Compounds against Foodborne Pathogens
Silva, Aurora; Silva, Sofia A.; Lourenço-Lopes, C.; Jimenez-Lopez, C.; Carpena, M.; Gullón, P.; Fraga-Corral, M.; Domingues, ValentinaThe search for food resources is a constant in human history. Nowadays, the search for natural and safe food supplies is of foremost importance. Accordingly, there is a renewed interest in eco-friendly and natural products for substitution of synthetic additives. In addition, microbial contamination of food products during their obtaining and distribution processes is still a sanitary issue, and an important ta...
