Metabolomic-Based Strategy for Fingerprinting of Sambucus nigra L. Berry Volati...
Salvador, Angelo C.; Rudnitskaya, Alisa; Silvestre, Armando J. D.; Rocha, Silvia M.The integration of plant metabolomics to support preharvest fruit development studies can provide important insights into the biochemical mechanisms involved and lately support producers on harvesting management. A metabolomic-based strategy for fingerprinting of volatile terpenoids and norisoprenoids from Sambucus nigra L. berries from three cultivars, through ripening, was established. From 42 monoterpenic, 2...
Lipophilic phytochemicals from elderberries (Sambucus nigra L.): Influence of r...
Salvador, Angelo C.; Rocha, Silvia M.; Silvestre, Armando J. D.The chemical composition of the lipophilic extracts of three Portuguese elderberries cultivars belonging to the Sambucus nigra L. species ('Bastardeira', 'Sabugueira' and 'Sabugueiro'), was studied by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The influence of the harvesting season (2012 and 2013), cultivar and the ripening stage was evaluated. Regarding the amount of lipophilic extractives, they ranged from 0.56% t...
Bioactive Phytochemicals from Wild Arbutus unedo L. Berries from Different Loca...
Fonseca, Daniela F. S.; Salvador, Angelo C.; Santos, Sonia A. O.; Vilela, Carla; Freire, Carmen S. R.; Silvestre, Armando J. D.; Rocha, Silvia M.The lipophilic composition of wild Arbutus unedo L. berries, collected from six locations in Penacova (center of Portugal), as well as some general chemical parameters, namely total soluble solids, pH, titratable acidity, total phenolic content and antioxidant activity was studied in detail to better understand its potential as a source of bioactive compounds. The chemical composition of the lipophilic extracts...
