Improving agar properties of farmed Gracilaria gracilis by using filtered sunlight
Silva-Brito, Francisca; Pereira, Sara Gonçalves; Rocha, Cristina M. R.; da Costa, Elisabete; Domingues, M. Rosário; Azevedo, Andreina; Kijjoa, AnakeThe effects of different light spectra on agar yield, composition and gel properties, pigment content and antioxidant activity of Gracilaria gracilis cultivated in a land-based IMTA-system were investigated. Total phenol content, antiradical activity and lipid peroxidation inhibitory capacity in the residue obtained from G. gracilis agar extraction (agar waste, AW) were also investigated. Gracilaria gracilis wa...
Elemental composition and bioaccessibility of farmed oysters (Crassostrea gigas...
Cardoso, Carlos; Gomes, Romina; Rato, Ana; Joaquim, Sandra; Machado, Jorge; Gonçalves, José Fernando; Vaz‐Pires, Paulo; Magnoni, LeonardoThe Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) culture has been expanding, thereby leading to a greater importance of hatcheries. Broodstock conditioning is very important in the hatchery process, in which diet composition may have a strong influence on the offspring production and quality. Therefore, the current study evaluated elemental composition and bioaccessibility of oysters fed different ratios of dietary seawe...
