Baobab fruit: assessment of seed kernel lipid fraction
Passos, Fábio; Nunes, M. Antónia; Pimentel, Filipa; Costa, Anabela S.G.; Ferreira da Vinha, Ana; Oliveira, M. Beatriz P.P.Fruit seeds are important sources of oils for nutritional, pharmaceutical and industrial purposes, despite their differences in fatty acids composition. To study the viability of baobab seed kernel valorization as a new alternative edible oil source, it is essential to characterize its lipid fraction. Oil was obtained by Soxhlet extraction with petroleum ether (2.5 h). Fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) were then ...
Nutritional value and fatty acid profile from acorns (Quercus nigra): intending...
Pacheco, R.; Costa, A.S.G.; Pimentel, Filipa; Ferreira da Vinha, Ana; Oliveira, M.B.P.P.The development of rural areas depends on sustainability policies to promote agricultural and production systems, in order to increase those populations’ income. To attain this purpose, it is important to find new opportunities to valorize the available, but still underexploited, natural resources. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the nutritional profile of kernel, shell and the whole fruit of Qu...
Valorização das folhas de louro (L. nobilis L. e L. azorica (Feub.) Franco)
Pereira, Lucena C.; Ferreira da Vinha, Ana; Costa, Anabela; Alves, Rita C.; Domingues, Valentina; Pimentel, Filipa; Delerue-Matos, M. CristinaAs folhas de louro (Laurus sp.) são, frequentemente, usadas na gastronomia da zona mediterrânica como ingrediente aromático. A sua riqueza em fitoquímicos bioativos tem justificado a utilização do óleo essencial na medicina tradicional e na cosmética. Neste trabalho, analisaram-se duas espécies autóctones desta planta: L. nobilis L. (continente) e L. azorica (Feub.) Franco (Açores). Com este estudo pretendeu-se...
Borututu (Cochlospermum angolense): influência do processamento no teor de vita...
Ferreira da Vinha, Ana; Pimentel, Filipa; Alves, Rita C.; Costa, Anabela; Oliveira, M. Beatriz P.P.O borututu (Cochlospermum angolense Welw.) é uma planta angolana vulgarmente utilizada na medicina popular africana para efeitos hepatoprotetores e na profilaxia da malária. Recentemente, tem sido dada alguma atenção ao potencial antioxidante desta planta, mas, até à data, não estão descritos estudos acerca do seu teor em vitamina E. A vitamina E é reconhecida pela sua elevada atividade antioxidante, nomeadamen...

Produção de plantas de espécies lenhosas ribeirinhas por via seminal: técnicas ...
Fabião, António; Carneiro, Marta; Pimentel, Filipa; Fabião, AndréRehabilitation of woody riparian galleries largely depends on the availability of seedlings or seeds of autochthonous species, which are usually difficult to obtain in Portugal. The cultural value of autochthonous seeds of several riparian woody species in nursery conditions was evaluated in order to assess seedling production feasibility. The choice of species was based on their occurrence in riparian habitats...
Impact of acute exercise intensity on plasma concentrations of insulin, growth ...
Ribeiro, Laura; Calhau, Conceição; Pinheiro-Silva, S; Santos, Alejandro; Alçada, Manuel; Guimarães, João; Pina, Alexandra; Maia, Bruno; Pereira, FábioObesity is increasing all over the world, its morbidity justifying a serious effort to improve the situation. Diet and physical exercise constitute major measures to fight obesity. We aimed to investigate the effect of acute exercise intensity over plasma insulin, growth hormone and somatostatin responses. Plasma levels of insulin, growth hormone, somatostatin and glucose were measured at baseline, after 15 min...
