Harnessing the bioactive potential of Limonium spathulatum (Desf.) kuntze: insi...
Youssef, Seria; Custódio, Luísa; Rodrigues, Maria João; Pereira, Catarina G.; Calhelha, Ricardo C.; Jekő, József; Cziáky, Zoltán; Ben Hamed, KarimThis study assessed the halophyte species Limonium spathulatum (Desf.) as a possible source of natural ingredients with the capacity to inhibit enzymes related to relevant human health disorders and food browning. Extracts using food-grade solvents such as water and ethanol were prepared by maceration from dried L. spathulatum leaves. They were evaluated for in vitro inhibition activity of enzymes such as acety...

Youssef, Seria; Custódio, Luísa; Rodrigues, Maria João; Pereira, Catarina G.; Calhelha, Ricardo C.; Pinela, José; Barros, Lillian; Jekő, JózsefThis work explored the nutritional and antioxidant properties of the leaves of the halophytic species Limonium spathulatum (Desf.) Kuntze from Tunisian sea cliffs. Furthermore, the analysis of the total phenolics and flavonoids contents and their individual compounds using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS/MS) were also studied. L. spathul...
Metabolomic profile and biological properties of sea lavender (Limonium algarve...
Rodrigues, Maria João; Castañeda-Loaiza, Viana; Monteiro, Ivo; Pinela, José; Barros, Lillian; Abreu, Rui M.V.; Oliveira, Maria Conceição; Reis, CatarinaWater extracts from sea lavender (Limonium algarvense Erben) plants cultivated in greenhouse conditions and irrigated with freshwater and saline aquaculture effluents were evaluated for metabolomics by liquid chromatography-tandem high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS/MS), and functional properties by in vitro and ex vivo methods. In vitro antioxidant methods included radical scavenging of 2,2-diphenyl-1-p...
Phenolic profile, toxicity, enzyme inhibition, in silico studies, and antioxida...
Placines, Chloé; Castañeda-Loaiza, Viana; Rodrigues, Maria João; Pereira, Catarina G.; Stefanucci, Azzurra; Mollica, Adriano; Zengin, GokhanCakile maritima Scop. (sea rocket) is an edible halophyte plant with several ethnomedicinal uses. This work reports the chemical profile and bioactivities of food grade extracts from sea rocket organs. Toxicity was determined on mammalian cells, and phenolic profiling and the quantitation of the main metabolites were made by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS). Enzymati...
