Citrus Seed Waste and Circular Bioeconomy: Insights on Nutritional Profile, Hea...
Seyyedi-Mansour, Sepidar; Carpena, María; Donn, Pauline; Barciela, Paula; Perez-Vazquez, Ana; Echave Álvarez, Javier; Pereira, Antia GonzalezCitrus fruits are widely grown, processed, and distributed in more than 140 countries, with annual global production exceeding 124.3 million metric tons. This substantial consumption generates significant organic waste, accounting for approximately 50–60% of the total fruit mass, primarily in the form of peel, pulp, and seeds. Often discarded or reused as animal feed, these wastes contribute to significant envi...
Nutraceuticals and oxidative stress
Donn, Pauline; Seyyedi-Mansour, Sepidar; Perez-Vazquez, Ana; Barciela, Paula; Fraga-Corral, Maria; Chamorro, Franklin; Cassani, LuciaSeveral studies have found a link between oxidative stress and a variety of noncommunicable diseases including diabetes, obesity, aging, Down syndrome, cancers, cardiovascular, and neurodegenerative diseases. All these pathologies are aided by oxidative stress, which is caused by the excessive production of free radicals or insufficient elimination of free radicals. To avoid, reduce, or eliminate this imbalance...

(Asteraceae family) is a plant commonly used in traditional medicine, and several reports have characterized this plant’s bioactivities, especially its phenolic compounds. These compounds are well known for their numerous beneficial biological properties. Consequently, industry stakeholders from the feed, food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical sectors are seeking extracts rich in phenolic compound...
Application of fermentation for the valorization of residues from Cactaceae family
Carpena Rodríguez, María; Cassani, Lucia; Gomez-Zavaglia, Andrea; Garcia-Perez, Pascual; Seyyedi-Mansour, Sepidar; Cao, Hui; Simal-Gandara, JesusCactaceae family is well-known for their adaptations to drought and arid environments. This family, formed by four subfamilies (Cactoideae, Opuntioideae, Pereskioideae, and Maihuenioideae) are known for being leafless stem succulent plants with numerous spines, and their commercial fruits, distinguished by their bright colors and their skin covered with bracts. Some of these species have been traditionally used...
Profiling of Phenolic Compounds in Citrus Flowers and Their Biological Activities
Seyyedi-Mansour, Sepidar; Carpena Rodríguez, María; Donn, Pauline; Garcia-Oliveira, Paula; Echave Álvarez, Javier; Barciela, Paula; Fraga-Corral, MariaCitrus, a genus of flowering plants in the Rutaceae family, holds substantial market importance as a crop worldwide. After prolonged periods of breeding and extensive hybridization, numerous species have emerged, each possessing a unique metabolism that produces a diverse array of secondary metabolites. It is important to note that phenolic compounds, in particular phenols and flavonoids, are among the most imp...
