Nonthermal high-pressure microalgae extracts: A new source of natural ingredien...
Garcia, Mónica P.; Regueiras, Ana; Lopes, Graciliana; Matos, Gabriela; Silva, Lucília P. da; Cerqueira, Mariana T.; Cardoso, Helena; Correia, NádiaMicroalgae are one of the most prominent sources of ingredients for the cosmetic industry not only due to their diversity but, importantly, due to the low environmental impact in production and extraction. A sustainable extraction process requires the use of effective and environmentally friendly solvents that guarantee an extract with a relevant content and in high yields. In this work, Chlorella vulgaris, Nan...
Tailoring gellan gum spongy-like hydrogels’ microstructure by controlling freez...
Moreira, Helena R.; Silva, Lucília P. da; Reis, R. L.; Marques, Alexandra P.Gellan gum (GG) spongy-like hydrogels have been explored for different tissue engineering (TE) applications owing to their highly attractive hydrogel-like features, and improved mechanical resilience and cell performance. Although the whole process for the preparation of these materials is well-defined, we hypothesized that variations occurring during the freezing step lead to batch-to-batch discrepancies. Aimi...
