Barroso, Marisa; Barros, Lillian; Dueñas, Montserrat; Carvalho, Ana Maria; Santos-Buelga, Celestino; Fernandes, Isabel P.; Barreiro, M.F.The present work explores the antioxidant potential of Helichrysum stoechas (L.) Moench phenoliccompounds for cosmetic applications involving the following steps: chemical characterization, microen-capsulation and incorporation into a moisturizer. Eighteen different phenolic compounds were identifiedin flowering aerial parts (decoction and hydroalcoholic extract), being 3,5-O-dicaffeoylquinic acid andmyricetin ...
Nutritional composition, antioxidant activity and phenolic compounds of wild Ta...
Dias, Maria Inês; Barros, Lillian; Alves, Rita C.; Oliveira, M.B.P.P.; Santos-Buelga, Celestino; Ferreira, Isabel C.F.R.Flowers and vegetative parts of wild Taraxacum identified as belonging to sect. Ruderalia were chemically characterized in nutritional composition, sugars, organic acids, fatty acids and tocopherols. Furthermore, the antioxidant potential and phenolic profiles were evaluated in the methanolic extracts, infusions and decoctions. The flowers gave higher content of sugars, tocopherols and flavonoids (mainly luteol...
Nutritional and antioxidant contributions of Laurus nobilis L. leaves: would b...
Dias, Maria Inês; Barros, Lillian; Dueñas, Montserrat; Alves, Rita C.; Oliveira, M.B.P.P.; Santos-Buelga, Celestino; Ferreira, Isabel C.F.R.Medicinal and aromatic plants are used since ancient times in folk medicine and traditional food, but also in novel pharmaceutical preparations. The controversy lies in the use of cultivated and/or wild plants presenting both advantages and disadvantages in biological, ecological but also economic terms. Herein, cultivated and wild samples of Laurus nobilis L. were chemically characterized regarding nutritional...
Decoction, infusion and hydroalcoholic extract of Origanum vulgare L.: differen...
Martins, Natália; Barros, Lillian; Santos-Buelga, Celestino; Henriques, Mariana; Ferreira, Isabel C.F.R.Bioactivity of oregano methanolic extracts and essential oils is well known. Nonetheless, reports using aqueous extracts are scarce, mainly decoction or infusion preparations used for therapeutic applications. Herein, the antioxidant and antibacterial activities, and phenolic compounds of the infusion, decoction and hydroalcoholic extract of oregano were evaluated and compared. The antioxidant activity is relat...
Castanea sativa Mill. flowers amongst the most powerful antioxidant matrices: a...
Carocho, Márcio; Barros, Lillian; Bento, Albino; Santos-Buelga, Celestino; Morales, Patricia; Ferreira, Isabel C.F.R.Infusions and decoction of chestnut tree flowers have been used for different medical purposes, but their phytochemical profile and antioxidant activity are still mostly unknown. Herein, decoctions and infusions of flowers from the two most appreciated chestnut cultivars (longal and judia) in Tr´as-os-Montes, Portugal, were prepared and characterized with regard to their content in free sugars, organic acids, a...
Phytochemical characterization and antioxidant activity of Opuntia microdasys (...
Chahdoura, Hassiba; Barreira, João C.M.; Barros, Lillian; Santos-Buelga, Celestino; Ferrreira, Isabel C.F.R.; Achour, LotfiChemical composition and antioxidant activity of Opuntia microdasys flowers in different maturity stages was evaluated. Fructose, glucose, sucrose and trehalose were found; oxalic, quinic, malic, and citric acids were also detected; five hydroxycinnamoyl, two kaempferol and six isorhamnetin derivatives; 23 fatty acids were quantified in all stages, except C20:2, which was only found in post flowering stage (F3)...
Pterospartum tridentatum, Gomphrena globosa and Cymbopogon citratus: a phytoche...
Roriz, Custódio Lobo; Barros, Lillian; Carvalho, Ana Maria; Santos-Buelga, Celestino; Ferreira, Isabel C.F.R.Pterospartum tridentatum (L.) Willk., Gomphrena globosa L. and Cymbopogon citratus (DC) Stapf. are examples of medicinal plants that demand a more detailed characterization. Therefore, phenolic composition (e.g., phenolic acids and flavonoids) was analyzed by chromatographic and mass spectrometry techniques and the antioxidant activity was also accessed through free radicals scavenging activity, reducing power ...
Phenolic profile, antibacterial, antimutagenic and antitumour evaluation of Ver...
Živković, Jelena; Barreira, João C.M.; Stojković, Dejan; Cebovic, Tatjana; Santos-Buelga, Celestino; Maksimović, Zoran; Ferreira, Isabel C.F.R.This study was designed to characterize the phenolic profile and evaluate the antibacterial, antimutagenic and antitumor activities of Veronica urticifolia Jacq. methanolic extract. HPLC-DAD/ESI-MS analysis revealed the presence of phenolic acids, flavonoids and phenylethanoids, with acteoside as the main component (14.9 mg/g of extract). Antibacterial effect was determined using the microbroth dilution assay a...
Phenolic profiling of Veronica spp. grown in mountain, urban and sand soil envi...
Barreira, João C.M.; Dias, Maria Inês; Živković, Jelena; Stojković, Dejan; Soković, Marina; Santos-Buelga, Celestino; Ferreira, Isabel C.F.R.Veronica (Plantaginaceae) genus is widely distributed in different habitats. Phytochemistry studies are increasing because most metabolites with pharmacological interest are obtained from plants. The phenolic compounds of V. montana, V. polita and V. spuria were tentatively identified by HPLC-DAD-ESI/MS. The phenolic profiles showed that flavones were the major compounds (V. montana: 7 phenolic acids, 5 flavone...
Phenolic extracts of Rubus ulmifolius Schoot flowers: characterization, microen...
Martins, Ana; Barros, Lillian; Carvalho, Ana Maria; Santos-Buelga, Celestino; Fernandes, Isabel P.; Barreiro, Filomena; Ferreira, Isabel C.F.R.Rubus ulmifolius Schott (Rosaceae), known as wild blackberry, is a perennial shrub found in wild and cultivated habitats in Europe, Asia and North Africa. Traditionally, it is used for homemade remedies because of its medicinal properties, including antioxidant activity. In the present work, phenolic extracts of R. ulmifolius flower buds obtained by decoction and hydroalcoholic extraction were chemically and bi...
