Resumo(s)

Given the recognized health benefits of natural matrices, the scientific community, in strong collaboration with the industry, has been exploiting natural resources in search of bioactive molecules. These bioactive molecules, such as polyphenols, vitamins, and carotenoids, are responsible for the health-promoting effects of plants, mushrooms, fruits, etc. The main bioactive attributes are related to their antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antitumoral properties, among many others. Therefore, extraction, purification, and stabilization of these molecules are major milestones for academia, aiming at their usage as health promoters.
