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...
Seaweed polysaccharides: emerging extraction technologies, chemical modificatio...
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...
Algal nutraceuticals: a perspective on metabolic diversity, current food applic...
Garcia-Perez, Pascual; Cassani, Lucia; Garcia-Oliveira, Paula; Xiao, Jianbo; Simal-Gandara, Jesus; Prieto Lage, Miguel A.; Lucini, LuigiThe current consumers’ demand for food naturalness is urging the search for new functional foods of natural origin with enhanced health-promoting properties. In this sense, algae constitute an underexplored biological source of nutraceuticals that can be used to fortify food products. Both marine macroalgae (or seaweeds) and microalgae exhibit a myriad of chemical constituents with associated features as a resu...

Different parts of cashew have characteristic compounds. The kernel of cashew nut is rich in fatty acids, the testa is rich in polyphenols, cashew apple is rich in polyphenols and carotenoids, and phenols with aliphatic long chain are present in th...
Profiling of Phenolic Compounds in Citrus Flowers and Their Biological Activities
Seyyedi-Mansour, Sepidar; Carpena Rodríguez, María; Donn, Pauline; Garcia-Oliveira, Paula; Echave Álvarez, Javier; Barciela, Paula; Fraga-Corral, MariaCitrus, a genus of flowering plants in the Rutaceae family, holds substantial market importance as a crop worldwide. After prolonged periods of breeding and extensive hybridization, numerous species have emerged, each possessing a unique metabolism that produces a diverse array of secondary metabolites. It is important to note that phenolic compounds, in particular phenols and flavonoids, are among the most imp...
Characterization of Phenolic Compounds of Arnica montana Conventional Extracts
Garcia-Oliveira, Paula; Chamorro, Franklin; Donn, Pauline; Garcia-Perez, Pascual; Seyyedi-Mansour, Sepidar; Silva, Aurora; Echave Álvarez, JavierArnica montana L. (Asteraceae family) is a plant commonly used in traditional medicine, and several reports have characterized this plant’s bioactivities, especially its phenolic compounds. These compounds are well known for their numerous beneficial biological properties. Consequently, industry stakeholders from the feed, food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical sectors are seeking extracts rich in phenolic compound...
Challenges for future food systems: from the Green Revolution to food supply ch...
Soria-Lopez, Anton; Garcia-Perez, Pascual; Carpena, Maria; Garcia-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 ...
Analytical metabolomics and applications in health, environmental and food science
Fraga-Corral, Maria; Carpena Rodríguez, María; Garcia-Oliveira, Paula; Pereira, Antia Gonzalez; Prieto Lage, Miguel A.; Simal-Gandara, JesusMetabolomics is a young field of knowledge that arises linked to other omics such as genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics. This discipline seeks to understand the performance of metabolites, identifying, quantifying them, and thus understanding its mechanism of action. This new branch of omics science shows high potential, due to its noninvasive character and its close relation with phenotype. Several tech...
Aquaculture as a circular bio-economy model with Galicia as a study case: How t...
Fraga-Corral, Maria; Ronza, P.; Garcia-Oliveira, Paula; González Pereira, Antía; Losada, A.P.; Prieto Lage, Miguel A.; Quiroga, M.I.Background: World-wide aquaculture represents a very important sector capable of supplying huge amounts of animal protein. However its relevance has proportionally augmented its waste generation. In Europe, the geographical constitution of Galicia has prompted the instauration of many aquaculture-based systems along its coasts. Indeed aquaculture means a very relevant industry in Galicia, together with animal f...
