Green and Innovative Extraction: Phenolic Profiles and Biological Activities of...
Pallarés, Noelia; Berrada, Houda; Ferrer, Emilia; Rached, Wahiba; Pinela, José; Mandim, Filipa; Pires, Tânia C.S.P.; Finimundy, Tiane C.Underutilized 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....
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...
Nutrients, Phytochemicals, and In Vitro Biological Activities of Goldenberry (P...
Añibarro-Ortega, Mikel; Dias, Maria Inês; Petrović, Jovana; Mandim, Filipa; Núñez, Sonia; Soković, Marina; López, Víctor; Barros, Lillian; Pinela, JoséThis 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 ...
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...
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...
Chromatographic and Chemometric Characterization of the Two Wild Edible Mushroo...
Saldanha, Ana Luísa; Añibarro-Ortega, Mikel; Molina, Adriana K.; Pinela, José; Dias, Maria Inês; Pereira, CarlaFistulina hepatica (Schaeff.) With. and Clitocybe nuda (Bull.) H.E. Bigelow & A.H. Sm. are wild edible mushrooms with nutritional and functional potential that remain insufficiently characterized. This study provides the first comparative assessment of their nutritional profiles, phenolic composition, and antioxidant activity, using specimens collected from Montesinho Natural Park (Portugal). Proximate composit...
Nutrients, Phytochemicals, and In Vitro Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Activitie...
Añibarro-Ortega, Mikel; Dias, Maria Inês; Petrović, Jovana; Pereira, Alexis; Soković, Marina; Barros, Lillian; Pinela, JoséLulo or naranjilla (Solanum quitoense Lam.) is an Andean fruit with a sour and refreshing flavor, widely used in the preparation of juices and sweets. Despite its potential for international markets, it remains largely unknown outside its native regions, and most existing studies have focused on the whole fruit or its juice. This study investigated the nutritional and phenolic profiles of the peel, pulp, and se...
Fortification of yogurt with Solanum melongena phenolic extract: physicochemica...
Añibarro-Ortega, Mikel; Gómez-García, Ricardo; Machado, Manuela; Pereira, Alexis; Costa, Eduardo M.; Pintado, Manuela; Barros, Lillian; Pinela, JoséThis study investigated the impact of fortifying yogurt with Solanum melongena phenolic extract by assessing its physicochemical, biochemical, and antioxidant stability, including its behavior during in vitro simulated digestion. Fortification influenced the yogurt's pH, titratable acidity, and color, and improved its cohesiveness during shelf life. The fortified yogurt exhibited higher glucose levels and reduc...

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...
