Antioxidant activity and total phenolic content of different extracts of delipi...
Martins, V. F. R.; Ribeiro, T. B.; Pintado, M. E.; Morais, R. M. S. C.; Morais, A. M. M. B.Introduction: The use of by-products as a source of bioactive compounds with economic added value is one of the objectives of the circular economy. Olive oil industry is a source of olive pomace, as a by-product. The olive pomace used in the present study was the exhausted (delipidified) olive pomace, which is the by-product generated after drying and subsequent hexane extraction of residual oil from the olive ...

Integral valorisation of tomato by-products towards bioactive compounds recover...
Coelho, M. C.; Rodrigues, A. S.; Teixeira, J. A.; Pintado, M. E.The tomato processing industry is one of the world's most important markets. This industry aims to optimise production, minimise energy costs and waste streams while ensuring high-quality products. This sector produces substantial amounts of by-products frequently disposed of as waste rather than reintroducing them with a new intent into the supply chain. However, these by-products are rich in bioactive compoun...

Microalgae hydrolysates as functional ingredients
Cunha, S. A.; Nova, P.; Silva, J. L. da; Pintado, M. E.Microalgae have been used in food and cosmetic industries due to their richness in compounds with high biological value, such as proteins, essential amino acids, vitamins and minerals [1]. Several microalgae contain high protein content, similar to other common protein sources such as meat and soybean [1], making them a promising source of bioactive peptides. Bioactive peptides are inert inside proteins but can...
Natural antioxidant extracts produced from five microalgae species by enzymatic...
Cunha, S. A.; Costa-Pinto, A. R.; Sarmento, B.; Pintado, M. E.Skin aging represents a huge concern in almost all cultures in the world. The excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) combined with a normal intrinsic reduced antioxidant activity are factors that deeply contribute to the aging process (1). Thus, it is important to develop strategies to decrease ROS production in the skin or reduce the damage caused by them. The valorisation of natural cosmetic in...
Production, characterization and ultrafiltration of bioactive extracts derived ...
Cunha, S. A.; Castro, R. de; Coscueta, E. R.; Silva, J. L. da; Pintado, M. E.Algae are very abundant worldwide and contains compounds with high biological value, such as proteins, amino acids, antioxidants. It is noteworthy that some algae species contain protein levels similar to meat, soybean and milk. Micro and macroalgae have been studied as a source of bioactive compounds, such as bioactive peptides, with properties of interest for humans and animals. In vitro, enzymatic hydrolysis...
Bioactive peptides produced from the mussel mytilus galloprovincialis by enzyma...
Cunha, S. A.; Castro, R. de; Coscueta, E. R.; Pintado, M. E.Bioactive peptides have been produced from several marine sources since they can exhibit positive effects for humans and animals. Mytilus galloprovincialis is highly consumed in several countries and has a meat rich in proteins, which has been described as a source of bioactive peptides with relevant properties such as antioxidant, anti-hypertensive and antimicrobial activities. Mussel commercialization generat...
