Journal ArticleDOI
Chitosan/fucoidan multilayer nanocapsules as a vehicle for controlled release of bioactive compounds.
Ana Cristina Pinheiro,Ana I. Bourbon,Miguel A. Cerqueira,Élia Maricato,Cláudia Nunes,Manuel A. Coimbra,António A. Vicente +6 more
TL;DR: Chitosan/fucoidan nanocapsules showed a good capacity for the encapsulation and loading of PLL, which shows to be influenced by the initial PLL concentration and the method of encapsulation used, and an anomalous behaviour, with one main polymer relaxation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chitosan–caffeic acid–genipin films presenting enhanced antioxidant activity and stability in acidic media
Cláudia Nunes,Élia Maricato,Ângela Cunha,Alexandra Nunes,José A. Lopes da Silva,Manuel A. Coimbra +5 more
TL;DR: Caffeic acid was grafted to chitosan by a radical mechanism using ammonium cerium (IV) nitrate (60 mM) and genipin was used as cross-linker to produce films with 80% higher antioxidant activity than the pristine film.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chitosan–genipin film, a sustainable methodology for wine preservation
Cláudia Nunes,Élia Maricato,Ângela Cunha,M. Angélica M. Rocha,Sofia Santos,Paula Ferreira,Manuel A V Ribeiro da Silva,Ana Maria Rodrigues,Osvaldo Amado,Joana Coimbra,Diana Silva,André Moreira,Sónia Mendo,José A. Lopes da Silva,Eduarda Pereira,Sílvia M. Rocha,Manuel A. Coimbra +16 more
TL;DR: Achlioptas et al. as mentioned in this paper used chitosan-genipin films to produce white wines without the addition of sulphur dioxide as a preservative.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural analysis and potential immunostimulatory activity of Nannochloropsis oculata polysaccharides.
Carolina O. Pandeirada,Élia Maricato,Sónia S. Ferreira,Viviana G. Correia,Benedita A. Pinheiro,Dmitry V. Evtuguin,Angelina S. Palma,Alexandra Correia,Manuel Vilanova,Manuel A. Coimbra,Cláudia Nunes +10 more
TL;DR: Water-soluble polysaccharides fractions from N. oculata show potential to be further explored for immune-mediated biomedical applications and are highlighted that these fractions could also stimulate murine B-lymphocytes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ionic Liquid-Mediated Recovery of Carotenoids from the Bactris gasipaes Fruit Waste and Their Application in Food-Packaging Chitosan Films
Leonardo Mendes de Souza Mesquita,Leonardo Mendes de Souza Mesquita,Margarida Martins,Élia Maricato,Cláudia Nunes,Paula Quinteiro,Ana Cláudia Dias,João A. P. Coutinho,Luciana Pellegrini Pisani,Veridiana Vera de Rosso,Sónia P. M. Ventura +10 more
Abstract: In this work, a process for the extraction and purification of carotenoids from the fruit Bactris gasipaes was developed. Ethanolic and aqueous solutions of ionic liquids (ILs) and surfactants were...
