The consumption of fruits and vegetables has increased in the past few years, not only because of their attractive sensorial properties, but also for their nutritional and health benefits. Antioxidants are compounds found in fresh fruits and vegetables, and evidence of their role in the prevention o

The classic single-phase Newtonian blood flow model ignores the motion of red blood cells (RBCs) and their interaction with plasma. To address these issues, we adopted a multiphase non-Newtonian model to carry out a comparative study between a helical artery bypass graft (ABG) and a conventional ABG
Liposomes are suitable for encapsulating lipophilic bioactive compounds, enhancing compound solubility, stability and bioavailability. To enhance physical stability of liposomes in food-like matrices they were coated with positively charged whey protein isolate (WPI). WPI concentration, for a succes
