Authenticity and Bioactive Markers Search in the Phenolic‐Rich Extracts of Aste...
Garcia Perez, Pascual; Garcia‐Oliveira, Paula; Finimundy, Tiane C.; Pinela, José; Calhelha, Ricardo C.; Nenadić, Marija; Soković, MarinaThe Asteraceae family has been of significant concern for ethnobotanical studies, thanks to its health-promoting properties linked to a plethora of bioactive compounds, among which phenolic compounds play a critical role. In this work, a workflow based on computational chemometrics was employed to assess the authenticity and biomarker search of five key Asteraceae species commonly employed in traditional medici...
Valorization of Solanum melongena L. crop by-products: Phenolic composition and...
Añibarro-Ortega, Mikel; Dias, Maria Inês; Petrović, Jovana; Núñez, Sonia; Calhelha, Ricardo C.; Costa, Eduardo M.; Machado, M.; Pintado, ManuelaThis study explored the valorization of post-harvest eggplant aerial parts as a sustainable source of value-added ingredients by investigating their phenolic composition and in vitro bioactive properties. HPLC-DAD-ESI/MSn analysis identified chlorogenic acid derivatives as the predominant phenolic compounds (53 % of the phenolic fraction), followed by O-glycosylated kaempferol and quercetin. The extract display...

Nutrients, Phytochemicals, and In Vitro Biological Activities of Goldenberry (P...
Añibarro Ortega, Mikel; Dias, Maria Inês; Petrović, Jovana; Mandim Pires, Ana Filipa; Núñez, Sonia; Soković, Marina; López, Víctor; Barros, LillianThis study provides a comprehensive characterization of Physalis peruviana L., covering the nutritional composition of the fruit and the phytochemical profiles and in vitro bioactive properties of berry and calyx extracts. The fresh fruit stood out as a source of dietary fiber (5.16 g/100 g) and is low in fat (0.49 g/100 g). A 100-g serving also contained notable amounts of ascorbic acid (32.0 mg), tocopherols ...
Green and Innovative Extraction: Phenolic Profiles and Biological Activities of...
Pallarés, Noelia; Berrada, Houda; Ferrer, Emilia; Rached, Wahiba; Pinela, José; Mandim Pires, Ana Filipa; Pires, Tânia C.S.P.; Finimundy, Tiane CristineUnderutilized plant species such as Asteriscus graveolens (Forssk.) Less., Haloxylon scoparium Pomel, and Ruta chalepensis L. have been historically valued in traditional medicine for their potential health benefits. These species present an untapped source of bioactive compounds with significant applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries, including the development of functional foods and additives....
Enhancing Tomato Growth and Quality Under Deficit Irrigation with Silicon Appli...
Añibarro Ortega, Mikel; Pereira, Alexis; Pinela, José; Liava, Vasiliki; Chaski, Christina; Alexopoulos, Alexios A.; Barros, LillianThis study aimed to evaluate the effect of two irrigation systems (deficit irrigation (DI)—70% of field capacity—and full irrigation (FI)—100% of field capacity) and a biostimulant formulation (silicon (Si) and calcium (Ca) at four different rates) on the chemical composition and fruit quality of greenhouse-grown tomatoes. Deficit irrigation and biostimulant application influenced the proximate composition of t...
Insights into the phenolic composition and in vitro bioactivity of cardoon capi...
Mandim, Filipa; Pinela, José; Marcelino, Sandra Andreia; Dias, Maria Inês; Barracosa, Paulo; Ivanov, Marija; Soković, Marina; Santos-Buelga, CelestinoThe capitulum constituents (stigma, corolla, bracts, pappus, and receptacle) of seven cardoon cultivars were studied for their polyphenolic composition and bioactive properties. Fifteen phenolic compounds were identified, secoiridoid, secoxyloganin, and apigenin-O-hexuronoside in higher concentrations. The bracts had the highest concentration of phenolic compounds, and the corolla had the greatest variety. The ...
Recovery of anthocyanins from Eugenia spp. fruit peels: a comparison between he...
Albuquerque, Bianca R.; Pinela, José; Pereira, Carla; Mandim, Filipa; Heleno, Sandrina A.; Oliveira, Beatriz; Barros, LillianNatural colorants have gained increased popularity among consumers and food producers due to their reputation as safer and healthier alternatives to commonly used artificial analogues. These natural pigments can be obtained from by-products resulting from food processing, such as the fruit peels of the Brazilian species Eugenia brasiliensis and Eugenia involucrata, thus contributing to the valorisation and circ...

Dias, Maria Inês; Corrêa, Rúbia C.G.; Steinmacher, Nadia Cristiane; Pinela, José; Pereira, CarlaThe “Emerging Unconventional Plants for Derived Food Products and Ingredients” Frontiers in Nutrition Research Topic aimed to address innovative solutions to ensure food security, such as nutrient-rich alternatives, sustainable agriculture, and advanced industrial technologies, by exploring Unconventional Edible Plants for developing new, nutritious, and safer food products. This Topic falls in the 2030 Sustain...
Exploring the bioactive compounds from berry biowaste: Eugenia involucrata DC. ...
Albuquerque, Bianca R.; Finimundy, Tiane; Pinela, José; Pires, Tânia C.S.P.; Calhelha, Ricardo C.; Vaz, Josiana A.; Corrêa, Rúbia C.G.Aiming at valorising the Eugenia involucrata residue, the present work aimed in investigating the chemical profile and in vitro bioactivities of the residue (EIR) and its individual parts, i.e., seeds (EIS) and peels (EIP). Chromatographic analyses showed that EIP had the highest content of organic acids, tocopherols, and anthocyanins, whereas EIS was the richest in hydrolysable tannins. bis-HHDP-glucoside isom...
