Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Ana Mateus"
- Ana Mateus' recent research primarily focuses on the intersection of marine biology and food safety, including the immune responses of marine species to environmental changes like marine heatwaves and the valorization of fruit by-products for sustainable food management.
- Notable findings include the demonstration that the small-spotted catshark (Scyliorhinus canicula) exhibits immunological resilience under simulated marine heatwave conditions, highlighting the need for further study into the physiological impacts of climate change on marine life.
- Additionally, Mateus has explored the antioxidant properties of fruit seeds and the development of analytical methods for detecting harmful alkaloids in food products, thereby addressing both food safety concerns and the potential for reducing food waste through the use of by-products.
