Development and characterization of nutritious and sustainable canned fish meal...
Oliveira, Helena; Cristóvão, Maria; Nabais, Alexandre; Camacho, Carolina; Sapatinha, Maria; Pires, Carla; Lourenço, Helena M.; Fernandes, Maria H.Canning is an excellent solution to provide convenient, affordable, nutritious, and safe seafood with a long shelf life. However, many canned products use tuna, sardines, and Atlantic chub mackerel, species that raise sustainability concerns and whose overuse can put additional pressure on them. Hence, this study aimed to i) develop and assess a nutritious and sustainable canned meal prototype using the Atlanti...
Production and characterization of protein-rich extracts from the red macroalga...
Mateus, Marília; Mão de Ferro, Rita; Pinheiro, Helena M.; Machado, Remígio; R. da Fonseca, M. Manuela; Sapatinha, Maria; Pires, Carla; Marmelo, IsaThe red macroalga Gelidium corneum is a species commercially exploited for agar extraction, though with enormous potential for other industrial applications. This work aimed to produce protein-rich extracts from the crude alga and from residues of the industrial agar extraction process by applying different extraction and recovery procedures, and to characterize the obtained protein extracts. The sequential imp...
Protein hydrolysates from salmon heads and cape hake by-products: comparing enz...
Pires, Carla; Leitão, Matilde; Sapatinha, Maria; Gonçalves, Amparo; Oliveira, Helena; Nunes, Maria Leonor; Teixeira, Bárbara; Mendes, RogérioFish by-products can be converted into high-value-added products like fish protein hydrolysates (FPHs), which have high nutritional value and are rich in bioactive peptides with health benefits. This study aims to characterise FPHs derived from salmon heads (HPSs) and Cape hake trimmings (HPHs) using Alcalase for enzymatic hydrolysis and Subcritical Water Hydrolysis (SWH) as an alternative method. All hydrolysa...
Uncovering the bioactivity of Aurantiochytrium sp.: a comparison of extraction ...
Reboleira, João; Félix, Rafael; Vicente, Tânia F. L.; Januário, Adriana P.; Félix, Carina; Melo, Marcelo M.R. de; Silva, Carlos M.; Ribeiro, Ana C.Aurantiochytrium sp. is an emerging alternative source of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and squalene, playing an important role in the phasing out of traditional fish sources for these compounds. Novel lipid extraction techniques with a focus on sustainability and low environmental footprint are being developed for this organism, but the exploration of other added-value compou...
