GPCR-styrene maleic acid lipid particles (GPCR-SMALPs):their nature and potential

G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) form the largest class of membrane proteins and are an important target for therapeutic drugs. These receptors are highly dynamic proteins sampling a range of conformational states in order to fulfil their complex signalling roles. In order to fully understand GPCR signalling mechanisms it is necessary to extract the receptor protein out of the plasma membrane. Historically this has universally required detergents which inadvertently strip away the annulus of lipid in close association with the receptor and disrupt lateral pressure exerted by the bilayer. Detergent-solubilized GPCRs are very unstable which presents a serious hurdle to characterization by biophysical methods. A range of strategies have been developed to ameliorate the detrimental effect of removing the receptor from the membrane including amphipols and reconstitution into nanodics stabilized by membrane scaffolding proteins (MSPs) but they all require exposure to detergent. Poly(styrene-co-maleic acid) (SMA) incorporates into membranes and spontaneously forms nanoscale poly(styrene-co-maleic acid) lipid particles (SMALPs), effectively acting like a 'molecular pastry cutter' to 'solubilize' GPCRs in the complete absence of detergent at any stage and with preservation of the native annular lipid throughout the process. GPCR-SMALPs have similar pharmacological properties to membrane-bound receptor, exhibit enhanced stability compared with detergent-solubilized receptors and being non-proteinaceous in nature, are fully compatible with downstream biophysical analysis of the encapsulated GPCR.

A new inhight on the Portuguese traditional sweets as cultural identity: a scientific approach towards evaluation of texture in Castanhas de Ovos de Viseu

The importance of the gastronomic heritage of any people is unquestionable and Portugal is particularly rich when it comes to sweets. Hence, the objective of this work was to give a contribution colour and texture, due to their importance for consumer acceptance. The samples were bought from a pastry in Viseu and produced according to the traditional recipe. Colour evaluation was made by a colorimeter and textural analysis by a texturometer. The results obtained allowed concluding that there were differences between the top burned area and the non-burned areas, as well as when comparing the ruffled with unruffled samples either regarding colour and also texture. The burned area was darker, with a more intense red and less yellow. As to texture, the ruffles samples were harder than the unruffled samples.

Salt content of processed foods available in the Portuguese market

Evidence suggests that current levels of salt consumption across Europe are linked with several chronic diseases. In recent decades, high blood pressure has increased, together with the consumption of processed foods. World Health Organization (WHO) recommends a salt intake of less than 5 g/day for the prevention of cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the salt content of processed foods available in the Portuguese market and to compare the determined values with the recommended daily intake established by WHO. Categories of processed foods that contribute to a higher intake of salt were identified: pastry, bakery, fast-food, snacks, ready-to-eat meals, nuts, seeds, soups, cereals, sauces, patties, among others. Between 2013 and 2015, 267 processed food samples were acquired in food chains and restaurants from Lisbon region (Portugal) and the salt content was quantified using Charpentier-Volhard method. High amounts of salt were quantified in the analysed processed foods, namely snacks, fast-food, patties, meals and bakery products. If we consider one portion of a curd cheese pie (193 g), the intake of salt can reach 45% of the recommended value. For snacks, regular portion size is 35 g. One portion of a salty snack can contribute with 31% of the salt recommended daily intake. Up to now food industry has developed efforts to decrease the salt content of some food products, namely bread. However, there still exist foods with high salt content and from a nutritional point of view this should be a priority area of intervention. The obtained results are an effective assessment of current salt content in foods which will be important for further reformulation strategies and to monitor progress in the next years.

Estudo das preferências do consumo de pão na região de Viseu

O pão, um dos alimentos mais consumidos a nível mundial, tem como principal função o fornecimento de energia ao organismo. Considerado como um alimento funcional é igualmente dotado de benefícios nutricionais que podem ajudar no combate do excesso de peso e obesidade, sendo indispensável para uma dieta saudável. Deste modo, o objetivo deste trabalho consiste em dar a conhecer os hábitos de consumo de pão e as preferências dos consumidores da região de Viseu, pretendendo-se aferir em que medida os hábitos de consumo, compras e entendimento relativo ao consumo do pão, diferem com base nas variáveis individuais. O estudo foi realizado através de um inquérito por questionário, por entrevista direta. Os dados demográficos, hábitos de consumo, compras e o entendimento relativo ao consumo de pão, foram os parâmetros selecionados para a estruturação do inquérito. A amostra era composta por 500 inquiridos, onde 35,40% pertenciam ao género masculino e 64,06% ao género feminino. A maioria da população em estudo gosta de pão e inclui pão na sua dieta. Observou-se que o pão de mistura era o pão mais consumido e a refeição onde se ingeria mais pão seria ao pequeno-almoço. Os filhos dos inquiridos ao pequeno-almoço consumiam mais leite e o pão era o terceiro alimento mais consumido. De um modo geral, os inquiridos valorizavam mais as características sensoriais no ato de compra do pão. O local mais requisitado para comprar de pão era a pastelaria. No que diz respeito ao nível de conhecimentos, a grande maioria dos inquiridos respondeu corretamente a pelo menos metade das questões. Pode-se concluir que o pão faz, em geral, parte da dieta alimentar da população da amostra em estudo. Comparativamente com um estudo nacional efetuado em 2011 pela Federação Portuguesa de Cardiologia e o Museu do Pão, existem semelhanças nos resultados, no que diz respeito às refeições onde se consome mais pão e ao tipo de pão consumido. Existe uma falha de informação a nível nacional, sobre o tema pão, havendo a necessidade de este tema ser mais estudado/explorado.
