Wild edible fruits as a potential source of phytochemicals with capacity to inh...

The edible fruits of four wild small trees or shrubs (Arbutus unedo, Crataegus monogyna, Prunus spinosa and Rubus ulmifolius) traditionally consumed in the Iberian Peninsula were studied to evaluate their potential for human nutrition, considering their content in bioactive compounds. Lipophilic phytochemicals, such as fatty acids and tocopherols, as well as some hydrophilic antioxidants, such as vitamin C (asc...

Traditional knowledge and uses of plant and fungi in the North-eastern Portugal...

The ethnobotanical use of botanical and mycological species suggests a high relationship between local uses and chemical composition in volatile compounds(e.g.bioactivity of the secondary metabolites produced) of the wild flora from the PNM. However, these species have not been explored systematically as nutraceuticals or as species with ethnopharmacological potential. These assumptions increase the interest in...

Etnobotânica das espécies florestais do Parque Natural de Montesinho

O Parque Natural de Montesinho é uma área protegida localizada no nordeste de Portugal. Durante cerca de quatro anos (2000 a 2004) foi realizado um exaustivo trabalho de inquirição com o objectivo de compilar, descrever e analisar os saberes etnobotânicos da população em estudo. Foram realizadas entrevistas semi-estruturadas a uma centena de pessoas, maioritariamente mulheres, de trinta aldeias pertencentes a d...
