Exploring geographical influences on physicochemical characteristics of honey: ...
Soares, S; Magalhaes, L; Moreira, MM; Rede, D; Fernandes, VC; Viegas, Olga; Pinto, E; Agostinho Almeida; Azevedo, R; Delerue-Matos, CObjectives In recent years, there has been a substantial increase in the global consumption of honey, driven by the high demand for natural products that offer health benefits. Consequently, consumers show a preference for honey, recognised for its superior quality, namely honey with a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) or honey produced in protected areas, as it is associated with superior attributes and ch...
Valorization of Phenolic and Carotenoid Compounds of Sechium edule (Jacq. Swart...
Vieira, EF; Souza, S; Moreira, MM; Cruz, R; da Silva, AB; Casal, S; Delerue Matos, CChayote leaves are known for culinary and traditional medicine applications. This work intended to recover carotenoids and phenolic compounds from chayote leaves using the ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE). A Box–Behnken design was employed to investigate the impact of extraction time, temperature, and ultrasonic power on the recovery of total carotenoids, total phenolic compounds, and antioxidant activities...
Determination of galacturonic acid content in pectin from fruit juices by liqui...
Moreira, MM; Luis F Guido; Cruz, JM; Barros, AAA reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method is applied for the determination of galacturonic acid (GA) of pectins in different commercial fruit juices. The separation was carried out on a C(18) column using precolumn derivatization with p-aminobenzoic acid (p-ABA) and UV detection at 304 nm. The identification of GA was confirmed by high-performance liquid chromatography/electrospray ...
