Effects of solid-state fermentation of Gelidium corneum by-product on immune st...
Ferreira, Marta Alexandra Lages; Ramos-Oliveira, Catarina; Magalhães, Rui; Martins, Nicole; Serra, Cláudia R.; Salgado, José Manuel Seara; Belo, IsabelIt was previously observed that dietary inclusion of 10 % Gelidium corneum by-product and sunflower cake mixture (1:1 ratio; Gmix), replacing corn gluten meal, reduced feed utilization efficiency in European sea bass juveniles, while the same mixture fermented with Aspergillus ibericus restored feed efficiency as well as nitrogen and energy utilization, achieving levels comparable to the control diet. The prese...
Effectiveness of high-solid loading treatments to enhance nutrient and antioxid...
Ramos-Oliveira, Catarina; Ferreira, Marta Alexandra Lages; Belo, Isabel; Oliva-Teles, Aires; Peres, HelenaMacroalgae have low nutrient bioavailability, often requiring pretreatmentsphysical, chemical, or biologicaltypically using low-solid loading hydrolysis, which produces separate liquid and solid phases. In contrast, high-solid loading hydrolysis offers a single-phase alternative, though it remains underexplored for macroalgae. This study evaluated the effectiveness of high-solid loading hydrolysis for breaking ...
Fermented agar by-product and sunflower cake mixture as feedstuff for European ...
Ferreira, Marta; Ramos-Oliveira, Catarina; Magalhães, Rui; Martins, Nicole; Ozório, Rodrigo O. A.; Salgado, José Manuel Seara; Belo, IsabelIndustrial agar production from red seaweeds such as Gelidium sp. generates large quantities of byproducts (GBP), often discarded as waste. GBP and sunflower cake (SC) are under-valorized as feedstuff due to their high non-starch polysaccharide (NSP) content. Solid-state fermentation (SSF) may disrupt NSP and improve their nutritional value. This study evaluated the utilization of Aspergillus ibericus and Asper...
