First chemical profile analysis of Acacia Pods
Pedro, Soraia I.; Fernandes, Tiago A.; Luís, Ângelo; Antunes, Alexandra M. M.; Gonçalves, José C.; Gominho, Jorge; Gallardo, Eugenia; Anjos, OféliaThis study intended to evaluate the potential industrial applications of various Acacia species (Acacia melanoxylon, Acacia longifolia, Acacia cyclops, Acacia retinodes, Acacia pycnantha, Acacia mearnsii, and Acacia dealbata) by examining their chemical composition, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties. Using high-resolution mass spectrometry, a comprehensive analysis successfully identified targeted compo...
Characterization of mineral composition and nutritional value of Acacia green pods
Pedro, Soraia I.; Antunes, Carlos A. L.; Horta, Carmo; Pitacas, Inês; Gonçalves, Joana; Gominho, Jorge; Gallardo, Eugenia; Anjos, OféliaThe Acacia genus is considered one of the most invasive taxa in some habitats, namely coastal dunes, maritime calcareous soils, fresh lands in the valleys, mountainous areas, and the banks of watercourses and roadsides. In Portugal, the severity risk is very high, so this study aimed to evaluate the nutritional and mineral contents of the green pods as a potential source for livestock feeds and soil fertilizer ...

Special bioactivities of phenolics from Acacia dealbata l. with potential for d...
Paula, Vanessa B.; Pedro, Soraia I.; Campos, Maria G.; Delgado, Teresa; Estevinho, Leticia M.; Anjos, OféliaSome diseases still need better therapeutic approaches, including the prevention of development. Natural resources are investigated with this purpose; among them, we decided to use an invasive plant as a main strategy. This will help in two ways: screening new compounds in flowers prevents the plant from causing widespread damage by controlling the dissemination and also obtains crude material for further appli...

Insights into the Bioactivities and Chemical Analysis of Ailanthus altissima (M...
Caramelo, Débora; Pedro, Soraia I.; Marques, Hernâni; Simão, Ana Y.; Rosado, Tiago; Barroca, Celina; Gominho, Jorge; Anjos, Ofélia; Gallardo, EugéniaMany species of the so-called exotic plants coexist with native species in a balanced way, but others thrive very quickly and escape human control, becoming harmful—these are called invasive alien species. In addition to overcoming geographic barriers, these species can defeat biotic and abiotic barriers, maintaining stable populations. Ailanthus altissima is no exception; it is disseminated worldwide and is co...
Application of functional data analysis and FTIR-ATR spectroscopy to discrimina...
Anjos, Ofélia; Martinez Comesaña, Miguel; Caldeira, Ilda; Pedro, Soraia I.; Enguía Oller, Pablo; Canas, SaraFourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) with Attenuated Total Reflection (ATR) combined with functional data analysis (FDA) was applied to di erentiate aged wine spirits according to the ageing technology (traditional using 250 L wooden barrels versus alternative using micro-oxygenation and wood staves applied in 1000 L stainless steel tanks), the wood species used (chestnut and oak), and the ageing time...
Physicochemical fingerprint of Pera Rocha do Oeste. A PDO pear native from Port...
Pedro, Soraia I.; Coelho, Elisabete; Peres, Fátima; Machado, Ana; Rodrigues, António M.; Wessel, Dulcineia; Coimbra, Manuel A.; Anjos, Ofélia“Pera Rocha do Oeste” is a pear (Pyrus communis L.) variety native from Portugal with a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO). To supply the world market for almost all the year, the fruits are kept under controlled storage. This study aims to identify which classical physicochemical parameters (colour, total soluble solids (TSS), pH, acidity, ripening index, firmness, vitamin C, total phenols, protein, lipids,...
Application of FTIR-ATR to discriminate peach nectars with higher and lower sug...
Coelho, Maria Teresa; Valério, Fátima Alexandra; Pedro, Soraia I.; Anjos, OféliaFruit juice does not have the same nutritional value as fresh fruit with regards to the vitamin, mineral and dietary fibre contents and the antioxidant properties. However, it can be part of a healthy diet if it is produced with the minimal addition of sugar. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of the FTIR-ATR technique to discriminate the authenticity (concerning the addition of other pulps) and amoun...
