- 14th International Chemical and Biological Engineering Conference (CHEMPOR-2023): Book of AbstractsPublication . Queiroz, Ana; Peres, António M.; Ribeiro, António E.; Barreiro, Filomena; Ferreira, Olga; Brito, Paulo; Pinho, SimãoWelcome to the 14th edition of the International Chemical and Biological Engineering Conference (ChemPor-2023) held at Bragança Polytechnic University (Instituto Politécnico de Bragança, IPB), Portugal, from 12 to 15 of September, 2023. This triennial conference, organized by a Portuguese Higher Education Institution and the Portuguese Engineers Association (Ordem dos Engenheiros), gathers experts from the chemical and biological engineering areas and related subjects to exchange knowledge and technological experiences within the academic, industrial, scientific, and technological communities. ChemPor-2023 addresses these research fields in different topics, from green chemistry to engineering education, always envisaging a sustainable development. The etymology of the word “conference”, from the Medieval Latin, means literally “bring together”. This 14th edition comes with a two-year delay following the global sanitary crisis since only a full inperson meeting could fulfill this purpose. ChemPor-2023 encompasses a gathering in a vivid, enlightening, and convivial way, and this hiatus did not limit this spirit or its objectives. The conference aims to celebrate creativity, diversity, and friendship among participants, promoting ideas exchange and fruitful interactions. We have circa 300 delegates from 4 continents, and your active participation is highly acknowledged. The general relevance of ChemPor-2023 is addressed in a variety of settings, including biorefinery, biotechnology, energy and environment, innovative materials, creation and design of novel reaction and separation processes, always foreseeing industrial applications for a sustainable shaping of the future. This edition includes an opening lecture by Jorge Calado in the immense but much less explored area of ArtScience, and an Honor Session dedicated to Alírio Rodrigues for his academic and scientific contributions, particularly regarding IPB. Besides, the conference includes 11 invited lectures from internationally recognized scientists and experts from the industry, 107 oral presentations distributed in 27 sessions, and 135 posters in two dedicated sessions. A session exclusively dedicated to companies and another for Ph.D. studies in industrial environments are to be highlighted. The “Professor Almiro e Castro” award, established in 2014 by PARALAB – Equipamentos Industrial and Laboratory SA, to recognize the scientific merit of a Portuguese professor or researcher in the last three years in the fields of Chemical and Biological Engineering, and related areas, will be announced at the closing of the conference. In that ceremony, the two best posters and the best oral communication awards by young scientists will also be granted. We want to reinforce our deepest appreciation to all the participants, but also to the members of the Honor, Scientific, and Local Organizing Committees for their invaluable contribution to the conference and acknowledge the institutional support of Instituto Politécnico de Bragança, Ordem dos Engenheiros, Centro de Investigação de Montanha, Sociedade Portuguesa de Química, and Câmara Municipal de Bragança. Expressing enormous gratitude is mandatory to all our Sponsors and associated scientific journals and publishers. Nothing could have been possible without all of you! Finally, our best wishes for success for the next ChemPor organization.

- Oliveiras Centenárias: Vale do CôaPublication . Rodrigues, Nuno (Coord.); Baptista, Paula (Coord.)Redescobrindo o passado para valorizar o futuro o projeto OLIVECOA teve por objetivo caracterizar o património olivícola ancestral da região do Vale do Côa, tendo em conta a sua importância no passado, do ponto de vista económico, histórico, cultural e paisagístico, para a sua valorização atual e futura. Para tal estabeleceu-se um consórcio liderado pelo Instituto Politécnico de Bragança (IPB), através do Centro de Investigação de Montanha (CIMO), com a Faculdade de Farmácia da Universidade do Porto, através da Requimte, e a Fundação Côa Parque. Com a informação gerada por esta equipa multidisciplinar foi possível criar este catálogo que aqui é apresentado. Foram estudadas 150 oliveiras centenárias divididas em oito parcelas na região do “Vale do Côa” onde se registou cada planta e que é aqui apresentado. Em cada planta foi feito o registo biométrico do tronco e da copa, feita a caracterização morfologia da folha, fruto e endocarpo (caroço) para gerar informação à cerca das oliveiras da região. Foram colhidas azeitonas de cada planta e extraído azeite que também foi estudado. Procedeu-se, juntamente com os agentes locais, ao levantamento de histórias e lendas que incluam a oliveira nas parcelas selecionadas. Apresenta-se a informação gerada, destacando algumas plantas pela sua beleza, e/ou pela composição nos seus produtos.
- Natural secondary metabolites: from nature, through science, to industryPublication . Carocho, Márcio (Ed.); Heleno, Sandrina A. (Ed.); Barros, Lillian (Ed.)This book focuses on the different compounds (polyphenols, sterols, alkaloids terpenes) that arise from the secondary metabolism of plants and fungi and their importance for research and industry. These compounds have been the backbone and inspiration of various industries like the food, pharmaceutical and others to produce synthetic counterparts. Furthermore, many of these compounds are still widely used to carry out specific functions in all these industries. This book offers a compilation of different texts from world leading scientists in the areas of chemistry, biochemistry, plant science, biotechnology which compile information on each group of secondary metabolism compounds, and their most important applications in the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and textile industry. By showcasing the best uses of these compounds, the chemistry behind their production in plants and fungi, this book is a valuable resource and a "go to" artifact for various audiences. The new approach this book offers, by linking research and the application of these compounds, makes it interesting as an inspiration for new research or as a hallmark of what has been done in the secondary metabolism of plants and fungi in recent years.
