TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the vitamin E content of 10 traditional Portuguese grape varieties in relation to their vitamin E contents (tocopherols and tocotrienols), fatty acid profile, as well as, antioxidant properties.

TL;DR: In this article, the chemical composition and antioxidant potential of Vitis vinifera leaves from twenty Portuguese varieties (white and red) were evaluated for the first time, concerning their reducing total capacity, reducing power and DPPH radical scavenging capacity.

TL;DR: An analytical methodology was developed to separate and quantify methylmercury (MeHg) and inorganic mercury by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and cold vapour atomic fluorescence spectrometry (CV-AFS).

TL;DR: The results obtained in this work show that S. cerevisiae strains isolated from honey, are appropriate for mead production, however it is of extreme importance to take into account the characteristics of the honey, and supplements used in the fermentation medium formulation, in order to achieve the best results in meadProduction.
