Strategies to Improve the Potential Functionality of Fruit-Based Fermented Beverages
2021
It is only recently that fermentation has been facing a dynamic revival in the food industry. Fermented fruit-based beverages are among the most ancient products consumed worldwide, while in recent years special research attention has been granted to assess their functionality. This review highlights the functional potential of alcoholic and non-alcoholic fermented fruit beverages in terms of chemical and nutritional profiles that impact on human health, considering the natural occurrence and enrichment of fermented fruit-based beverages in phenolic compounds, vitamins and minerals, and pro/prebiotics. The health benefits of fruit-based beverages that resulted from lactic, acetic, alcoholic…
Evaluation of the Bioaccessibility of Antioxidant Bioactive Compounds and Minerals of Four Genotypes of
2019
Microgreens constitute an emerging class of fresh, healthy foods due to their nutritional composition. In this study the content of minerals and antioxidant bioactive compounds, and for the first time bioaccessibility, were evaluated in broccoli (Brassica oleracea L. var. italica Plenck), green curly kale (Brassica oleracea var. sabellica L.), red mustard (Brassica juncea (L.) Czern.) and radish (Raphanus sativus L.) hydroponic microgreens. Macro- (K, Ca, Mg) and oligo-elements (Fe, Zn), ascorbic acid, total soluble polyphenols, total carotenoids, total anthocyanins, total isothiocyanates and total antioxidant capacity (Trolox Equivalent Antioxidant Capacity and Oxygen Radical Absorbance Ca…
Changes in the Phytochemical Profile and Antioxidant Properties of Prunus persica Fruits after the Application of a Commercial Biostimulant Based on …
2022
Plant biostimulants are formulations that are experiencing great success from the perspective of sustainable agriculture. In this work, we evaluated the effect derived from the application of a biostimulant based on algae and yeast extracts (Expando®) on the agronomic yield and nutraceutical profile of two different cultivars (“Sugar Time” and “West Rose”) of Prunus persica (peach). Although, at the agronomic level, significant effects on production yields were not recorded, the biostimulant was able to reduce the ripening time, increase the fruit size, and make the number of harvestable fruits homogeneous. From a nutraceutical point of view, our determinations v…
Algae and their extracts in medical treatment
2018
Scientific efforts undertaken in recent decades have undoubtedly proven that algae are an inestimable and, what is more, important renewable source of hundreds of chemical compounds characterized by a wide spectrum of biological activity. Polysaccharides, phenolic compounds and their derivatives, pigments, proteins, lipids, and fatty acids are the substances that can be isolated from seaweeds, possessing antimicrobial, antiviral, antifungal, antilipidemic, antitumor, antidiabetic, anticoagulant, antioxidant, and antiallergic properties, which can be successfully utilized for human needs. The majority of attention has been focused on marine polysaccharides and their application in medicine a…
Evaluation of biological properties of extracts obtained from marine biomass assisted by pulsed electric fields (PEF) and pressurized liquid extracti…

Teniendo en cuenta el gran interés por la biodiversidad, los recursos marinos representan una fuente importante de compuestos de alto valor añadido como proteínas y péptidos bioactivos, lípidos y ácido grados vitaminas, minerales y compuestos bioactivos, etc. Los residuos y subproductos del pescado como cabeza, vísceras y piel, entre otros, se descartan o no se utilizan de manera efectiva durante el procesamiento de los alimentos, lo que resulta en un gran desperdicio de recursos, sin embargo, son una gran fuente de compuestos con alto valor añadido y que pueden tener un potencial uso considerable en las industrias alimentaria, farmacéutica, cosmética y otras, existiendo, por lo tanto, un i…
Biologically active compounds in algae and their application in plant growth stimulation
2016
In recent years the bioactive substances of natural origin gained more and more interest. Among such substances, the compounds isolated from microalgae and seaweeds, mainly the polyphenols, polysaccharides, plant hormones, pigments and fatty acids, an find an application in many industries, particularly in medicine, pharmaceutics, cosmetics and agriculture. Biostimulants from seaweeds have been used and manufactured for years, giving confirmation of its effectiveness in field trials, enhancing the growth of crops giving better yields. Nowadays, the legislation processes are more difficult and intricate, so it is harder to register new products. Everyone put more attention on the answers for…
Innovative extraction and separation technologies to improve the recovery of microalgae nutrients and bioactive compounds with potential beneficial e…
2023
Las microalgas son ricas en una gran variedad de compuestos bioactivos, que incluyen proteínas, polifenoles, polisacáridos, pigmentos, minerales, vitaminas, etc., que pueden utilizarse o separarse directamente para obtener componentes de mayor valor. La extracción y la separación son pasos clave en la obtención y posterior procesamiento de los productos relacionados con las microalgas, representando las tecnologías innovadoras de procesado una estrategia innovadora y eficiente para mejorar la calidad de estos productos. Actualmente, las microalgas y sus compuestos (nutrientes, compuestos bioactivos, etc.) se utilizan como alimento y también con finalidades desde el punto de vista de salud, …
Chemical Composition of Green Pea (Pisum sativum L.) Pods Extracts and Their Potential Exploitation as Ingredients in Nutraceutical Formulations
2021
Agro-industrial wastes contain a large number of important active compounds which can justify their use as innovative ingredients in nutraceutical products. This study aimed to provide a complete analysis of active molecules, namely (poly)phenols in pea pods water-based extracts, through a UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap HRMS methodology. Data showed that 5-caffeoylquinic acid, epicatechin, and hesperidin were the most relevant (poly)phenols found in the assayed extracts, with a mean value of 59.87, 29.46, and 19.94 mg/100 g, respectively. Furthermore, changes in antioxidant capacity and bioaccessibility of total phenolic compounds (TPC) after the simulated gastrointestinal (GI) process were performed usi…
