- Preliminary studies on the extraction of phenolic compounds from olive leaves of Portuguese cultivarsPublication . Cornamusaz, Rita; Morais, ZildaPhenolic compounds of olive tree (Olea europaea) are considered one of the responsibles of the health-promoting of Mediterranean diet. Indeed, recent studies on isolated phenolic compounds have found a number of applications in increasing human immune response. The olive leaves, known to be rich in phenolic compounds, are a by-product of pruning and mechanical harvesting of olives. In the present work, started in November 2015, optimization in extraction and in component analysis has been achieved.

- Study of the Phenolic Content and the antioxidant capacity of Rubus idaeus L. genotypes within the development of a national cultivarPublication . Cornamusaz, Rita; Luz, Francisco; Oliveira, Pedro Brás de; Moncada, Margarida; Câmara, Madalena Bettencourt daThe production of raspberries in Portugal has increased considerably in the last two decades, assuming a great economic interest today. Here, we studied the phenolic content and the antioxidant capacity of selected genotypes within a breeding program. The results suggest that this program may be unintentionally selecting raspberry phenolics. If so, this would be of particular interest, since there is scientific evidence that raspberry phenolics or their metabolites may have beneficial health effects, namely antioxidant activity.
