Fish by-products can be converted into high-value-added products like fish protein hydrolysates (FPHs), which have high nutritional value and are rich in bioactive peptides with health benefits. This study aims to characterise FPHs derived from salmon heads (HPSs) and Cape hake trimmings (HPHs) using Alcalase for enzymatic hydrolysis and Subcritical Water Hydrolysis (SWH) as an alternative method. All hydrolysa...
In post-pandemic, climate-changing societies, the presence of urban greenspace assumes paramount functions, at the same time that socio-economic crises and shocks augment vulnerabilities and insecurities. The recent literature on environmental criminology argues that the geography of crime is not random, and that the presence of greenery, due to its impact on well-being and the environment, can have positive as...
Foram preparados fiambres de corvina para se estudar a preferência do consumidor relativamente ao tipo de fiambre e, em particular, à sua cor. As cores dos fiambres foram manipuladas pela adição individual e em diferentes proporções de pigmento de cochonilha (tons vermelhos), Fibricolor (tons rosa) e Instanka sugar powder 75/700 (tons castanhos). Fotografias das amostras serviram de base para a criação de um in...

The carotid bodies (CB) have been recently implicated in the genesis of metabolic diseases in animal models. The CBs respond to circulating insulin to increase heart rate, respiratory rate and blood glucose levels. In humans, this mechanism is not well characterized.
Marketing issues of small-sized meagre can be overcome with the development of fish hams. This study aimed to test high pressure processing (HPP) to promote gelation of meagre hams, as an alternative to the heat processing. It was also aimed to reduce microbial transglutaminase (MTGase) from the formulation of HPP hams. Meagre hams were subjected to HPP varying different pressure parameters. The water holding c...
The work was carried out within the framework of the national project POLQUAL (PROMAR 31-03-01-FEP-173), which purpose to contribute to the promotion and upgrading of Octopus vulgaris from the Portuguese coast, taking into account the needs and demands of the sector and consumers. Therefore, several works were developed, namely: 1) Portuguese consumers’ attitudes and perceptions of octopus; 2) Catches and ethol...
