First insights into macromolecular components analyses of an insect meal using ...
Silva, Flávia Matias Oliveira da; Fidalgo, Liliana G.; Inácio, Rita S.; Fantatto, Rafaela; Carvalho, Maria J.; Murta, Daniel; Pereira, Nuno S. A.The non-invasive nutritional analysis of feed through images captured by hyperspectral cameras represents an innovative and promising approach in the field of biotechnology. With this technology, it is possible to capture images at multiple wavelengths and identify unique spectral patterns associated with different molecular components, such as total fat and moisture. The technique is particularly valuable in b...

Fontes alternativas de proteína: consumo de insetos e a promoção de sistemas al...
Oliveira, Joana; Murta, Daniel; Trindade, Alexandre; Assunção, RicardoA crescente pressão exercida sobre os sistemas alimentares globais e os impactos ambientais da produção pecuária impulsionaram a procura por fontes de proteína alternativas sustentáveis. Os insetos comestíveis surgem como uma alternativa promissora, com elevado valor nutricional e reduzido impacto ambiental. Este estudo analisa a literatura disponível sobre a utilização de insetos como fonte de proteína para co...
Exploring the potential of Hermetia illucens larvae extracts: A promising appro...
Filipe, Márcia Santos; Cardoso, Rossana V.C.; Ayuso, Manuel; Murta, Daniel; Díaz-Lanza, Ana M.; Rosado, Catarina; Pires, Tânia C.S.P.Globally, the yearly disposal of 1.3 billion tonnes of food raises environmental and public health concerns. Black soldier fly (BSF) larvae present a sustainable solution, converting organic waste into nutrient-rich biomass. The extracted oil from BSF larvae, rich in fatty acids (FA), offers an eco-friendly alternative for the cosmetic industry. In this study, larvae sourced from a Portuguese company were fed o...
Impacto de diferentes dietas na produção de larvas de mosca soldado negro
Campino, Vasco; Antunes, Rebeca; Murta, Daniel; Ribeiro, Teresa; Ribeiro, VerónicaEstima-se crescimento da população mundial para 9 biliões de pessoas em 2050. É urgente repensar a forma de alimentação, aumentar a eficiência na produção e a redução de desperdício alimentar. Os insetos permitem fornecer uma fonte alimentar de baixo impacto ambiental. O objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar a influência de diferentes dietas, na performance zootécnica de larvas de Hermetia illucens (Mosca Soldado Ne...
Characterization of lipid extracts from the Hermetia illucens larvae and their ...
Almeida, Cíntia; Murta, Daniel; Nunes, Rui; Baby, André Rolim; Fernandes, Ângela; Barros, Lillian; Rijo, Patrícia; Rosado, CatarinaThere is an increasingly growing demand for the use of natural and sustainable bioactives in the field of the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. The biomass from black soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens) can be viewed as an innovative source of compounds with high aggregate value and marketing potential due to the sustainable organic matter bioconversion process used as substrate for its development. Th...
Historical European Institutions, Human Capital and Development: A Plausible Ex...
Sequeira, Tiago; Murta, Daniel; Santos, MarceloThe literature on development has pointed out some deeply-rooted determinants of current economic development. Most research on the field has been devoted to developing countries or specific to single countries. We focus on deeply-rooted determinants of development of European regions, in particular on the influence of human capital. Following an identification strategy using a recently developed instrumental v...

Alvarado Muñoz, Antonieta Maria; Catarino, José Carlos Mota; Lopes, Ivâ; Murta, Daniel; Faísca, PedroObjetivos: O presente trabalho forma parte das tarefas do projeto do consorcio NETA que agrega sete instituições em torno de um objetivo comum: transformar uma ameaça ambiental das águas residuais e efluentes numa fonte de nutrientes e recursos hídricos. A tarefa deste trabalho está relacionada com a valorização aquapónica da água resultante da Técnica de Precipitação Química (PQ) e a utilização da lama resulta...
ENTOSAFE - Edible insects: From a sustainable food production to a food safety ...
Cardoso, Diogo; Mostafaie, Amid; Silva, Ana Rita; Motta, Carla; Murta, Daniel; Pinto, Glória; Coelho, Inês; Prodana, Marija; Silva, PatriciaThe use of insects as a food and feed source is nowadays considered a solution for the increasing food demands in the following years. With that in mind, the recently funded project “ENTOSAFE - Edible insects: From a sustainable food production to a food safety concern” aims to integrate the food safety and the environmental sustainability aspects of edible insect farming. ENTOSAFE will take advantage of a symb...
