Wild Myrtus communis L. Fruit By-Product as a Promising Source of a New Natural...
Vega, Erika N.; González-Zamorano, Lorena; Cebadera, Elena; Barros, Lillian; Silveira, Tayse F. F. da; Vidal-Diez de Ulzurrun, Guillermo; Tardío, JavierMyrtus communis L., as a wild underutilized fruit, was analyzed for its physicochemical properties and bioactive composition, revealing a high anthocyanin content principally concentrated in the peel. Therefore, the anthocyanin extraction conditions through ultrasound-assisted extraction from Myrtus communis L. fruit peels (MCP), considered a by-product, were optimized using response surface methodology (RSM), ...
Exploring the Biochemical Profile of Beta vulgaris L.: A Comparative Study of B...
Almeida, Daiana; Petropoulos, Spyridon A.; Silveira, Tayse F. F. da; Pires, Tânia C.S.P.; Ferreira, Isabel C.F.R.; Fernandes, Ângela; Barros, LillianIn this study, leaves and roots from three beetroot cultivars (cv. Albina Vereduna (white roots), cv. Burpee’s Golden (golden roots), and cv. Pablo F1 (red roots)), as well as Swiss chard leaves (also known as “rhubarb chard”, or Beta vulgaris subsp. cicla var. flavescens) were evaluated in terms of their chemical profile and bioactive properties. Roots were characterized by high carbohydrate content, which als...
Natural Food Colorant Obtained from Wild Berberis vulgaris L. by Ultrasound-Ass...
Vega, Erika N.; González-Zamorano, Lorena; Cebadera, Elena; Barros, Lillian; Pires, Tânia C.S.P.; Molina, Adriana K.; Silveira, Tayse F. F. daIn this study, a novel natural food colorant based on anthocyanins was developed from wild barberry (Berberis vulgaris L.) fruits using ultrasound-assisted extraction, which was optimized through RSM. Four extraction variables (ultrasound power, time, S/L ratio, and extraction solvent pH) were evaluated in combination. The response criteria used were the total anthocyanin content (TAC) and color parameters. The...
Harnessing the power of natural mineral waters in bread formulations: effects o...
Ferreira, Fernanda; Guimarães, Rafaela; Lemos, André; Milho, Catarina; Silveira, Tayse F. F. da; Ueda, Jonata M.; Carocho, Márcio; Heleno, Sandrina A.This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of incorporating natural mineral waters (NMW), including thermal water (TW) and bottled mineral water (BMW), into bread (‘biju’ type) to enhance its mineral content and explore their impacts on physicochemical, technological, biochemical, and chemical composition. NMW, rich in sodium, potassium, and magnesium, resulted in bread formulations with higher contents of th...
