Valorisation of Atlantic bonito and Brassica by-products in the development of ...
Solinho, Joana; Machado, Sofia; Pereira-Pinto, Ricardo; Barros, Diana; Vaz-Velho, Manuela; Vazquez, Manuel; Pinheiro, RitaFish is a highly nutritious food, rich in protein, unsaturated fats, vitamins, and minerals, and its consumption has increased due to the associated health benefits. However, fish processing generates substantial waste, accounting for more than 50% of the total weight of the fish, leading to economic losses. Utilising these byproducts presents an opportunity to reduce waste while enhancing the nutritional profi...
Magnetoelectric polymer-based nanocomposites with magnetically controlled antim...
Fernandes, Margarida; Martins, Pedro Libânio Abreu; Correia, Daniela M.; Carvalho, Estela; Gama, F. M.; Vazquez, Manuel; Bran, CristinaThe emergence of antimicrobial resistance is considered a public health problem due to the overuse and misuse of antibiotics which are losing efficacy toward an increasing number of microorganisms. Advanced antimicrobial strategies via development of alternative drugs and materials able to control microbial infections, especially in clinical settings, are urgently needed. In this work, nanocomposite films were ...
Comparative effect of a previous 150-MPa treatment on the quality loss of froze...
Carrera, Mónica; Vazquez, Manuel; Saraiva, Jorge A.; Aubourg, Santiago P.; Fidalgo, LilianaBACKGROUND: This study addresses the quality loss of European hake (Merluccius merluccius) during frozen storage. Its objective was to comparatively analyse the effect of a previous high-pressure processing (HPP) (150 MPa for 2 min) when different storage temperatures (−10, −18 and −30 °C) were employed. RESULTS: Most chemical quality indices (trimethylamine, TMA; dimethylamine, DMA, formaldehyde, FA; free fatt...
