Nutritional composition of ultra-processed plant-based foods in the out-of-home...
Vellinga, Reina E.; Rippin, H.L.; Gonzales, G.B.; Temme, E.H.M.; Farrand, C.; Halloran, A.; Clough, B.; Wickramasinghe, K.; Santos, M.; Fontes, T.Ultra-processed plant-based foods, such as plant-based burgers have gained in popularity. Particularly in the out-of-home (OOH) environment, evidence regarding their nutritional profile and environmental sustainability is still evolving. Plant-based burgers available at selected OOH sites were randomly sampled in cities of four WHO European Member States; Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Lisbon, and London. Plant-based b...
Exploring the functional features of melon peel flour for healthier bakery prod...
Silva, M.A.; Albuquerque, T.G.; Santo, L.E.; Motta, C.; Almeida, A.; Azevedo, R.; Alves, R.C.; Oliveira, M.B.P.P.; Costa, H.S.The use of fruit by-products to develop new food products could be an advantageous approach to meet the demand for healthy foods and reduce food waste. In this study, the amino acid and mineral profiles of melon peel flour were evaluated. Non-essential/toxic elements were also determined. Furthermore, two formulations (biscuit and muffin) were developed with 50% and 100% melon peel flour, respectively. The bioa...
Seasonal variation of chub mackerel (Scomber colias) selenium and vitamin B12 c...
Rego, A.; Coelho, I.; Motta, C.; Cardoso, C.; Gomes-Bispo, A.; Afonso, C.; Prates, J.A.M.; Bandarra, N.M.; Silva, J.A.L.; Castanheira, I.Chub mackerel (Scomber colias), an underutilised fish species, has been identified as an excellent source of selenium and vitamin B12, which may prevent and delay cognitive decline and dementia. Given these nutrients’ contents seasonal variability, a complete monthly sampling, involving a specifically adjusted methodology for the determination of vitamin B12 (LC-MS/MS) and its main vitamers and a sensitive anal...
Seasonality as experienced in the market and the resulting variation in the ami...
Motta, C.; Rego, A.; Cardoso, C.; Coelho, I.; Gomes-Bispo, A.; Afonso, C.; Prates, J.A.M.; Castanheira, I.; Bandarra, N.Chub mackerel (Scomber colias) is an underutilised fish species, abundant in the Atlantic Ocean. Its amino acid profile and elemental composition are still insufficiently studied. Accordingly, these aspects were studied on a monthly basis. The most abundant essential amino acids, lysine and leucine, had contents ranging from 1270 ± 40 mg/100 g in August to 1820 ± 96 mg/100 g in November and from 1210 ± 36 mg/10...
Tempeh’s contribution to the methylation cycle
Serôdio, Ana; Moreira, Tiago; Motta, C.; Castanheira, IsabelTempeh is a plant -based fermented food consumed as an alternative source of protein and vitamin B12 and Vitamin B9. The objective of this study is to compare the contents of vitamin B12 and amino acid profile of several cooked tempeh understand which way tempeh contributes to a healthy diet, regarding its protein composition. amino acid profile was determined by UPLC/PDA (Ultra performance liquid chromatograph...
Tempeh as a substitute of meat protein
Serôdio, A.; Moreira, T.; Motta, C.; Oliveira, L.; Sousa, B.; Castanheira, I.According to the Portuguese Association of vegetarians, adherence to vegetarian diets, and conscience with a reduction of meat consumption is increasing in Portugal. This study aims to describe the tempeh’s protein and amino acid (aa) profile, including the impact of culinary procedures. The results will be then included on the National Food Composition Table increasing the available information in this alterna...
