Bioactive compounds of spontaneous hop and hop in cultivars in the northeast of...
Santos, Briolanja; Pedro, Luís G.; Pereira, Olívia R.; Goes, Hugo; Cardoso, Susana M.; Sousa, Maria JoãoHop, whose scientific name is Humulus lupulus L., is a species of the family Cannabaceae, with climbing, perennial and dioecious characteristics of great importance due to its compounds of interest such as polyphenols and acids. The female inflorescences have glands that secrete mainly lupulin. Hop is known worldwide as an essential raw material and flavoring agent in beer production. Phytochemical compounds fr...
Utilization of bee products on the development of cosmetic formulation with ter...
Jelidi, Sarra; Pereira, Olívia R.; Afonso, Andrea Luísa Fernandes; Pedro, Luís G.; Cardoso, Susana M.; Sousa, Maria JoãoThe use of natural cosmetics is nowadays becoming increasingly frequent given to the notice of consumers to the consequences of using chemically synthesized compounds, which may even be carcinogenic. This work aimed to develop a cream formulation for daily moisturizing of the skin, with natural ingredients, like bee products, plants of the region of Trás-Os-Montes and vegetable oils. Among bee products, beeswax...
Development of a cosmetic anti-aging gel formulation with extracts of spontaneo...
Santos, Briolanja; Pereira, Olívia R.; Afonso, Andrea Luísa Fernandes; Pedro, Luís G.; Cardoso, Susana M.; Sousa, Maria JoãoHop (Humulus lupulus L.) is known worldwide as an essential flavor in the beer industry. Its major compounds have been demonstrated to be associated to health benefits, due to its antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticancer activities [1]. This study intended to develop and to evaluate the stability of an anti-aging cosmetic gel by incorporation of different percentages of hydroalcoholic extrac...

Composition variation of the essential oil from Ocimum basilicum L. cv. Genoves...
Mota, Íris Alves; Sánchez-Sánchez, José; Pedro, Luís G.; Sousa, Maria JoãoIn this study, a factorial experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of AMF (arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi) and water stress on the quality of fresh plants (through the analysis of essential oil composition) and also on the morphological characteristics (in terms of biomass) of basil (Ocimum basilicum L. cv. Genovese Gigante). The factors included an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus inoculation (Glomus i...
Stressed-out symbiosis: monitoring biodiversity through chemical fingerprints
Mota, Íris Alves; Pedro, Luís G.; Sousa, Maria João; Sánchez-Sánchez, JoséMonitoring through secondary metabolites as essential oils is informative on both plant states and their living conditions. Our research examined the effect of an abiotic factor (mild water stress) on a specific plant species (Ocimum basilicum L.). This drought condition was tested with plants inoculated with a symbiotic fungus (Glomus intraradices), to check if it ameliorated, in terms of biomass, the conseque...
