Bio-Recycling Hazelnut Shells to Improve Antioxidant Properties of Lentinus tig...
Desiderio, Anthea; Pedrosa, Mariana C.; Heleno, Sandrina A.; Carocho, Márcio; Rodrigues, Daniele Bobrowski; Buratti, Simone; Soffientini, IreneLentinus tigrinus is a wood-decay fungus known for its nutritional, culinary, and medicinal benefits. It contains bioactive compounds like polyphenols, terpenes, and flavonoids that exhibit antioxidant, anti-microbial, and anti-inflammatory effects. These natural antioxidants are increasingly recognized for their potential to prevent oxidative damage linked to aging and chronic diseases. This study investigates...
Polyphenol bioaccessibility, caco-2 cell uptake and prebiotic potential of waln...
Spréa, Rafael Mascoloti; Rodrigues, Daniele Bobrowski; Calhelha, Ricardo; Pires, Tânia; Brassesco, María; Pintado, Manuela; Santoyo, SusanaThe valorisation of agri-food by-products represents a sustainable strategy for the development of functional ingredients. Walnut oilcake (WOC) and walnut oil dregs (WOD), respectively obtained after cold-press extraction and from the decantation residues of the oil following cold pressing, were evaluated for their nutritional composition, phenolic profile, and in vitro bioaccessibility and bioavailability. The...
Chemical profile and bioactivities of industrial wastes from Chenopodium quinoa...
Casalvara, Rhaira Fernanda Ayoub; Santos, Everton da Silva; Mattos, Jose Vinicius; Pimentel, Tatiana Colombo; Calhelha, Ricardo C.; Pires, Tânia C.S.P.This study aimed to investigate the effect of extraction methods and solvents (Soxhlet and supercritical fluid extraction, SFE) on the chemical profile (gas chromatography [GC]/mass spectrometry and GC/flame ionization detection) and antimicrobial, antioxidant, antitumor, and anti-inflammatory activities of quinoa Piabiru (QP) husk crude extracts. Soxhlet was applied using 100% water (QPSH2O), and ethanolic sol...

A Scoping Review on Carotenoid Profiling in Passiflora spp.: a Vast Avenue for ...
Leite, Marina de Macedo Rodrigues; Rodrigues, Daniele Bobrowski; Brison, Raquel; Nepomuceno, Fernanda; Bento, Maria Lua; Oliveira, Lívia de Lacerda deThe Passiflora genus is recognised for its ethnopharmacological, sensorial, and nutritional significance. Yet, the screening of its dietary and bioactive molecules has mainly targeted hydrophilic metabolites. Following the PRISMA-P protocol, this review assessed the current knowledge on carotenoid composition and analysis within Passiflora, examining 968 records from seven databases and including 17 studies foc...
Chemical and bioactive screening of green polyphenol-rich extracts from chestnu...
Rodrigues, Daniele Bobrowski; Verissimo, Lavinia; Finimundy, Tiane C.; Rodrigues, Joana P.B.; Oliveira, Izamara; Fernandes, Isabel P.; Barros, LillianOpportunities for the valorisation of agro-industrial residues of the chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) production chain have been fostered with the production of multifunctional polyphenol-rich extracts with the potential to be introduced as natural additives or active components in several products. Nonetheless, it is crucial to explore the feasibility of different extracts from the various by-products for the...
Polyphenol composition by HPLC-DAD-(ESI-)MS/MS and bioactivities of extracts fr...
Ueda, Jonata Massao; Griebler, Karoline Ribeiro; Finimundy, Tiane C.; Rodrigues, Daniele Bobrowski; Verissimo, Lavinia; Pires, Tânia C.S.P.Grape agri-food wastes, such as skin, seeds, and other discarded by-products, contain phytochemical compounds that offer potential health benefits. Methods: This study aimed to investigate the polyphenol composition and bioactivities of different extracts obtained from grape marc and seeds, with the goal of exploring their potential for application as natural food additives. Results: Regardless of the extractio...
Biological properties of Hypericum sampsonii and Hypericum japonica: comparison...
Barciela Alvarez, Paula; Perez Vazquez, Ana; Rodrigues, Daniele Bobrowski; Silva, Tayse Ferreira; Mandim, Filipa; Pires, Tânia C.S.Hypericum was famous in ancient times for its properties, morphology, and adaptability. Currently, it has naturalized in practically all parts of the world from America to Australia. It is considered a cosmopolitan species present on all five continents. Hypericum is the largest genus of the Hypericaceae family (more than 500 species classified in 36 taxonomic sections). The study of these ethnomedicinal plants...
Comprehensive HPLC-DAD-(ESI-)MS/MS characterization and comparison of bioactive...
Rodrigues, Daniele Bobrowski; Oludemi, Taofiq; Petros, Peter; Barros, LillianGanoderma lucidum is a well-known medicinal mushroom, both historically and currently. Driven by the ethnopharmacological prospect and the crescent body of scientific evidence that associates G. lucidum intake with health, the interest in its secondary metabolites has been further fostered. Whereas most research on medicinal mushrooms has focused on the comprehensive identification and yields of metabolites thr...
Study of the antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities of two...
Perez Vazquez, Ana; Alvarez, Paula Barciela; Silva, Tayse Ferreira; Rodrigues, Daniele Bobrowski; Mandim, Filipa; Pires, Tânia C.S.In this research, a study of the antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities of two Euphorbia species (Euphorbia hirta and Euphorbia jolkinii) was developed. Euphorbia species belong to the Euphorbiaceae family, being commonly found in America and tropical Africa. Euphorbia species have been traditionally used in folk medicine to treat gonorrhea, migraines, intestinal parasites, warts, and skin ...
