The influence of salt reduction with encapsulated oleoresins on the quality of ...
Serrano, Carmo; Sapata, Margarida; Castelo-Branco, Diogo; Tasso, Ana; Marques, António; Viegas, Cláudia; Figueira, Diogo; Komora, NortonIntroduction: Mayonnaise, mustard, and ketchup are table sauces enjoyed worldwide, adding flavor and texture to many dishes. However, these products often contain high sodium content, which contributes to health issues such as high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease. To address these concerns, reducing salt content in the sauces has become a significant goal for both manufacturers and consumers. Objectiv...
Development of innovative clean label emulsions stabilized by vegetable proteins
Cabrita, Marta; Simões, Sara; Álvarez-Castillo, Estefanía; Castelo-Branco, Diogo; Tasso, Ana; Figueira, Diogo; Guerrero, Antonio; Raymundo, AnabelaThe consumer’s perception that food is one of the main determining factors for health increases the demand for foods in line with this trend. The food industry is researching new ingredients, formulations, and technologies aiming to respond to this demand. Namely, product formulations are increasingly less complex, with fewer additives, and manufactured with commonly known ingredients, leading to the con- cept ...
Unravelling the effect of phenolic compounds in the design of a yeast protein-b...
Ribeiro, Ana Catarina; Simões, Sara; Perez-Gregorio, Rosa; Soares, Susana; Figueira, Diogo; Castelo Branco, Diogo; Tasso, Ana; Raymundo, AnabelaMayonnaise is an oil in water emulsion of egg, oil and an acid, worldwide consumed. The major chal-lenges of the mayonnaise industry include searching for an alternative protein source. This study evaluatesan alternative protein source, yeast protein extract (YPE), to replace egg in the mayonnaise model. Fur-thermore, the natural ability of phenolic compounds (PCs) to bind to proteins was studied to enhance the...
Ultrasonication processing for the production of plant-based nanoemulsions
Pereira, Rui. C.; Marques, Arlete Maria Lima; Vieira, Marta V.; Bourbon, Ana I.; Calderón, Kamila; Fucinos, Pablo; Castelo-Branco, DiogoPlant-derived proteins have been emerging and growing in interest over the past few years, due to their interesting properties and the trend to replace animal-derived proteins [1]. Ultrasonication processing can be used to develop nanoemulsions based on plant proteins that are kinetically stabilized by their small dimension, unlike classic emulsions [2]. In this work, oil-in-water nanoemulsions were produced th...
Strategies for the reduction of sugar in food products
Gomes, Ana; Bourbon, Ana I.; Peixoto, Ana Rita; Silva, Ana Sanches; Tasso, Ana; Almeida, Carina; Nobre, Clarisse; Nunes, Cláudia; Sánchez, ClaudiaOver the last years, foods are being tailored in their compositional profiles and structural properties to promote or enhance human health and well-being over and above simple nutrition. In this context, there is a need for a detailed understanding of the physical, biochemical and sensorial properties of the food categories involved since any modification targeting improved healthiness needs to guarantee their ...
