Chemical characterisation, antioxidant and antibacterial activities of Pinus pi...
Ramos, Patrícia A. B.; Pereira, Carla; Gomes, Ana Peixoto; Neto, Rodrigo T.; Almeida, Adelaide; Santos, Sónia A. O.; Silva, Artur M. S.Agroforestry by-products have gained rising attention in recent years as they represent inexpensive and abundant raw materials that are a source of added-value chemicals, e.g., for food and pharmaceutical applications, as well as for bioenergy generation. Pinus pinaster Ait. bark extracts are consumed worldwide for their cardiovascular benefits, whilst the health potential of Pinus pinea L. bark has not yet bee...
Impact of eutectic solvents utilization in the microwave assisted extraction of...
Neto, Rodrigo T.; Santos, Sónia A. O.; Oliveira, Joana; Silvestre, Armando J. D.The extraction of proanthocyanidins (PACs), despite being an important and limiting aspect of their industrial application, is still largely unexplored. Herein, the possibility of combining eutectic solvents (ESs) with microwave assisted extraction (MAE) in the extraction of PACs from grape pomace (GP) is explored, aiming to improve not only the extraction yield but also the mean degree of polymerization (mDP)....
