Improving chestnut physicochemical properties through fermentation – Developmen...
Santos, Marisa V.; Banfi, Stefano; Santos, Rafaela; Mota, Mariana; Raymundo, Anabela; Prista, CatarinaThe increased awareness of population regarding the impact of consumption habits is leading to interest in new, innovative, diversified and health promoting foods. In this work, two new amazake fermented products were developed with chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.), using rice or chestnut koji as source of glycolytic enzymes. The analysis of the amazakes evolution showed improvements in chestnuts physicochemica...
Improving nutritional quality of unripe tomato through fermentation by a consor...
Simões, Sara; Santos, Rafaela; Bento-Silva, Andreia; Santos, Marisa V.; Mota, Mariana; Duarte, Noélia; Sousa, Isabel; Raymundo, AnabelaBACKGROUND: Portugal is one of the main producers of industrial tomato and tomato paste, an important intermediate ingredient used in many added-value foods. The tomato processing industry rigorously selects the fruits by colour during mechanical harvest, picking only completely ripe fruits to produce high quality tomato paste. The latest available data shows that about 1.12 × 108 kg yr−1 of non-red/not-ripe to...
Production of glycolipid biosurfactants, mannosylerythritol lipids, from pentos...
Faria, Nuno Torres; Santos, Marisa V.; Fernandes, Pedro; Fonseca, Luís Lopes; Fonseca, César; Ferreira, Frederico CasteloThe pentose-assimilating capacity of yeasts from the genus Pseudozyma, P. antarctica PYCC 5048T, P.aphidis PYCC 5535Tand P. rugulosa PYCC 5537T, was exploited towards the production of mannosylery-thritol lipids (MEL), a glycolipid with biosurfactant properties. The three strains tested were able togrow on d-xylose and l-arabinose with similar maximum specific growth rates to those estimated on d-glucose (aroun...
Conversion of cellulosic materials into glycolipid biosurfactants, mannosyleryt...
Faria, Nuno Torres; Santos, Marisa V.; Ferreira, Carla; Marques, Susana; Ferreira, Frederico Castelo; Fonseca, CésarBackground: Mannosylerythritol lipids (MEL) are glycolipids with unique biosurfactant properties and are produced by Pseudozyma spp. from different substrates, preferably vegetable oils, but also sugars, glycerol or hydrocarbons. However, solvent intensive downstream processing and the relatively high prices of raw materials currently used for MEL production are drawbacks in its sustainable commercial deploymen...
