Exploring the Bioactive Properties and Therapeutic Benefits of Pear Pomace
Ferreira, Joana; Karolina Tkacz, Karolina; Turkiewicz, Igor Piotr; Santos, Isabel; Silva, Mariana Camoesas e; Lima, Ana; Sousa, IsabelThe fruit juice industry generates a significant amount of waste, with a strong impact on the environment and the economy. Therefore, researchers have been focusing on the characterization of resources considered as food waste. This work provides information about the lipophilic and polar metabolites of pear pomace flours (PPFs) as a tool that can shed more light on the bioactive potential of this residue. Usin...
Influence of Particle Size and Extraction Methods on Phenolic Content and Biolo...
Ferreira, Joana; Tkacz, Karolina; Turkiewicz, Igor Piotr; Santos, Maria Isabel; Belas, Adriana; Lima, Ana; Wojdyło, Aneta; Sousa, IsabelThe main goal of this research was to investigate how particle size influences the characteristics of pear (Pyrus Communis L.) pomace flour and to examine the impact of different pre-treatment methods on the phenolic content and associated bioactivities. Pear pomace flour was fractionated into different particle sizes, namely 1 mm, 710 m, 180 m, 75 m and 53 m. Then two extraction methods, namely maceration with...
