Solvent-driven extraction of bioactive compounds from propolis for application ...
Peixoto, Sara; Nascimento, Amanda Priscila Silva; Rocha, Cristina M.R.; Barros, Ana NovoPropolis is a resinous substance collected by honeybees from plant exudates and enriched with beeswax, pollen, and enzymes. Known for its antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-aging properties, it has attracted interest for applications in food, nutraceutical, and cosmetic industries. In this work, Portuguese propolis from the Guarda region was characterized to evaluate how different solvents influence extractio...
Drying kinetics and its influence on the dimensions of shelled pumpkin seeds
Vieira, Danise Medeiros; Barros, Sâmela Leal; Silva, Vírgínia Mirtes de Alcântara; Santos, Newton Carlos; Nascimento, Amanda Priscila SilvaThe drying applied to pumpkin seeds, increases the shelf life of the product and consequently facilitates its marketing. The objective of this study was to perform the drying kinetics of shelled pumpkin seeds at different drying air temperatures, adjusting the experimental data obtained to empirical mathematical models and to evaluate the influence of drying on their dimensions. Drying kinetics of peeled pumpki...
