Recovery of ripening capacity in 'Rocha' pears treated with 1-MCP through the a...

Storing 'Rocha' pear treated with 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) in controlled atmosphere is a common commercial strategy to extend pear storage time and prevent postharvest disorders. However, this strategy represents a challenge to the fruit industry because 1-MCP treatment obstructs the normal fruit ripening, potentially affecting the quality to consumers. To explore possible mechanisms to reactivate ripening,...

In vitro gastrointestinal digestion impact on the antioxidant activity of extra...

Microalgae are rapidly cultivable growing photosynthetic organisms rich in compounds with high biological values, such as antioxidants, with interest for food industry. Although microalgae extracts may present several health benefits, it is necessary to understand if their properties are maintained throughout the gastrointestinal (GI) digestion, after the exposure to enzymes and different pH ranges. Thus, this ...

In vitro gastrointestinal digestion impact on the antioxidant activity of extra...

The interest in edible algae has been growing over the years due to their richness in molecules with nutritional and bioactive potential, such as proteins, essential amino acids, vitamins and minerals. Furthermore, due to their interesting protein content, they have been described as a source of bioactive peptides, with scientifically documented antioxidant, anti-hypertensive and antimicrobial properties. In th...

Influence of shaking and viable cell numbers on microbial conjugated linoleic a...

Microbial production of conjugated linoleic acid and conjugated linolenic acid ...

Conjugated linoleic acids (CLAs) and conjugated linolenic acids (CLNAs) have gained significant attention due to their anticarcinogenic and lipid/energy metabolism-modulatory effects. However, their concentration in foodstuffs is insufficient for any therapeutic application to be implemented. From a biotechnological standpoint, microbial production of these conjugated fatty acids (CFAs) has been explored as an ...
