Evaluation of innovative insect-based products by Portuguese consumers using a ...
Barbosa, B.; Rocha, C.; Ribeiro, J. C.; Lima, R. C.; Costa, A. I. A.; Monteiro, M. J. P.; Maya, C.; Roos, N.; Cunha, L. M.In an era of considerable environmental pressures, edible insects have demonstrated their ability to integrate innovative and sustainable food production methods. Nonetheless, there are clear obstacles to their acceptance, particularly in Western countries. With a view to a longitudinal analysis of the consumption moment, the study's main goal was to assess how the repeated exposure approach can impact consumer...
Consumer sensory profiling and liking of bolognese-type sauces: how do insect a...
Costa, A. I. de Almeida; Monteiro, M. J. P.; Maya, C.; Rocha, C.; Faria, B. F.; Lima, R. C.; Cunha, L. M.; Roos, N.Meeting global targets for healthier and more sustainable diets calls for a substantial reduction of meat consumption in Western nations, especially red and processed meat. This requires a transition to the large-scale production, marketing, and adoption of alternative proteins. The current state of development of new plant- and insect-based foods holds good promise, but optimizing their sensory quality to the ...
Improving formulation of innovative edible insect-based crispbread containing T...
Rocha, C.; Ribeiro, J. C.; Barbosa, B.; Lima, R. C.; Osimani, A.; Aquilanti, L.; Cesaro, C.; Costa, A. I. A.; Roos, N.; Cunha, L. M.Abstract One of the critical factors in increasing consumer acceptance of edible insects is the development of appropriate products that lead to satisfactory sensory experiences. This way, the negative associations with entomophagy can be hampered, and developed products can be more successfully integrated into consumers' diets. This research aimed to integrate consumers into the food product development proces...
Insect-based dinner products for meat substitution in ordinary diets: developin...
Maya, C.; Flore, R.; Sun, Y.; Costa, A. I. A.; Cunha, L. M.; Rocha, C.; Monteiro, M. J. P.; Osimani, A.; Aquilanti, L.; Borght, M. Van DerThe growing environmental impact of livestock farming has emphasised the need for more sustainable diets with lower meat consumption, identifying insects as a potential alternative protein source. The Sustainable Insect Chain (SUSINCHAIN) project aimed to incorporate six new insect protein products into regular dinner meals, aiming to replace 20% of meat protein through a six-week dietary intervention in Denmar...
Impact of microalgae incorporation on sensory profile and consumer’s expectatio...
Ramos, R.M.; Barbosa, B.; Baião, L.; Lima, R.C.; Rocha, C.; Hernandéz, H.; Mahmoud, N.; Tavares, S.; Carvalho, C.C.C.R.; Nunes, M.C.; Raymundo, A.Microalgae are a promising future food source with their rich nutrient content and potential to contribute to a carbonneutral economy. However, incorporating microalgae into food formulations presents sensory challenges, particularly in terms of colour and distinct {sh-like aromas. In the YUM ALGAE project, this study successfully evaluated the impact of microalgae incorporation in two distinct food matrices – ...
Evaluation of the trade-off between variety, processing, and low-GI claim in re...
Cabral, Diva; Fonseca, Susana C.; Rocha, C.; Moura, Ana Pinto de; Oliveira, J. C.; Cunha, Luís Miguel; Moura, Ana Pinto deAn increasing number of consumers demand healthier, more convenient, and sustainable food products, including rice, a staple worldwide. Food manufacturers have responded to this trend by considering food’s intrinsic and extrinsic aspects. This study evaluated the importance of variety, processing, and claims on willingness to try ready-to-eat rice (RTE-rice). It also analyses the influence of consumer attitudes...
Spatiotemporal distribution patterns of the sea cucumber Holothuria arguinensis...
Silva, F. Azevedo e; Brito, A.C.; Pombo, A.; Simões, T.; Marques, T.A.; Rocha, C.; Madruga, A.S.; Sousa, J.; Venâncio, E.; Félix, P.M.The demand for sea cucumbers from the NE-Atlantic is increasing as a consequence of the depletion of stocks that historically supplied Asian markets. Some species from the NE-Atlantic are already showing overfishing signs due to either inefficient policies or their total absence, and they do not offer any margins of sustainability to sea cucumber fisheries. The current lack of knowledge of biological and ecolog...

A literatura evidencia que a promoção de competências pessoais e socioemocionais reduz problemas de internalização e externalização e potencia o rendimento académico, comportamentos prossociais e at...
Allometric relationships to assess ontogenetic adaptative changes in three NE A...
Silva, F. Azevedo e; Brito, A. C.; Simões, T.; Pombo, A.; Marques, T. A.; Rocha, C.; Sousa, J.; Venâncio, E.; Félix, P. M.Holothuria arguinensis, Holothuria mammata and Holothuria forskali are three common sea cucumber species found in the NE Atlantic, traded in international markets and susceptible to capture. Allometric relationships reveal if the scaling relationships between biometric characters are proportional with growth, being a useful tool to understand species growth strategies. Allometric relationships of the three spec...
