Challenges for future food systems: from the Green Revolution to food supply ch...
Soria‐Lopez, Anton; Garcia‐Perez, Pascual; Carpena, Maria; Garciá‐Oliveira, Paula; Otero, Paz; Fraga-Corral, Maria; Cao, Hui; Prieto Lage, Miguel A.Finding a food system to feed the growing worldwide population remains a challenge, especially in the current era, where natural resources are being dramatically depleted. From a historical point of view, the Green Revolution, together with biofortification and sustainable intensification, was established as a possible solution to counter hunger and malnutrition during the second half of the 20th century. As a ...
Plant alkaloids: production, extraction, and potential therapeutic properties
Pereira, Antia Gonzalez; Cassani, Lucia; Garcia-Oliveira, Paula; Otero, Paz; Mansoor, Sepidar; Echave Álvarez, Javier; Xiao, JianboAlkaloids are a type of secondary metabolites that can be found in different parts of plants. This group of compounds is diverse and can be divided into nine subgroups: pyridine, tropane, isoquinoline, phenanthrene, phenylethylamine, indole, purine, imidazole, and terpenoids. Most of these compounds are recognized for their anti-inflammatory, antitumor, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral activities, among...

Otero, Paz; Carpena Rodríguez, María; Garcia-Oliveira, Paula; Echave Álvarez, Javier; Soria-Lopez, Anton; García-Pérez, Pascual; Fraga-Corral, MariaNowadays, consumers are increasingly aware of the relationship between diet and health, showing a greater preference of products from natural origin. In the last decade, seaweeds have outlined as one of the natural sources with more potential to obtain bioactive carbohydrates. Numerous seaweed polysaccharides have aroused the interest of the scientific community, due to their biological activities and their hig...

González Pereira, Antía; Fraga-Corral, Maria; Garcia-Oliveira, Paula; Otero, Paz; Soria-Lopez, Anton; Cassani, Lucia; Cao, Hui; Xiao, JianboThe constant increment in the world's population leads to a parallel increase in the demand for food. This situation gives place the need for urgent development of alternative and sustainable resources to satisfy this nutritional requirement. Human nutrition is currently based on fisheries, which accounts for 50% of the fish production for human consumption, but also on agriculture, livestock, and aquaculture. ...

Biological properties and potential of compounds extracted from red seaweeds
Carpena Rodríguez, María; García-Pérez, Pascual; García-Oliveira, Paula; Chamorro Rivo, Franklin Noel; Otero, Paz; Lourenço-Lopes, Catarina; Cao, HuiMacroalgae have been recently used for different applications in the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industry since they do not compete for land and freshwater against other resources. Moreover, they have been highlighted as a potential source of bioactive compounds. Red algae (Rhodo- phyta) are the largest group of seaweeds, including around 6000 different species, thus it can be hypoth- esized that they are...

Seaweed-derived proteins and peptides: promising marine bioactives
Echave Álvarez, Javier; Otero, Paz; García-Oliveira, Paula; Munekata, Paulo E.S.; Pateiro, Mirian; Lorenzo Rodriguez, Jose Manuel; Simal-Gandara, JesusSeaweeds are a typical food of East-Asian cuisine, to which are alleged several beneficial health effects have been attributed. Their availability and their nutritional and chemical composition have favored the increase in its consumption worldwide, as well as a focus of research due to their bioactive properties. In this regard, seaweed proteins are nutritionally valuable and comprise several specific enzymes,...
