The Food Research Center (FoRC) is an initiative of scientists from University of São Paulo for creation of the first research center focused on food and nutrition in Brazil. It is based on the concept that food and nutrition studies present a multidisciplinary character, and professionals with different backgrounds can study different aspects of the same subject. The main goal is to addr…
The health benefits promoted by diets rich in fruits and vegetables are usually associated with the prevention of the development of various diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, inflammatory and cancer. This effect is directly related to phytochemical constituents, characterized particularly by the phenolic compounds present in plants and / or plant foods due to their antioxidant cap…
The dietary intakes of anthocyanins, a class of flavonoids, are related to a wide spectrum of the positive biological effects, including antioxidant activity, antiinflamatory activity and quimiopreventive effect. On the other hand, anthocyanins present rapid biotransformation and most is degradated by gut microflora and by thermal processing in phenolic acids, such as protocatechuic acid …

The orange (C. Sinensis) has great importance in the national territory, both in economic and health terms. A great part of oranges produced in the country are processed into juice and exported, beeing Brazil considered the largest exporter of orange juice in the world. The benefits of the fruit, in addition to its basic nutritional composition, are associated with secondary metabolites, …
The insertion of native species of fruits into the market may enhance the socioeconomic development of the region, besides the valorization of the Brazilian biodiversity. The passion fruit is rich in bioactive compounds that have been associated with a reduced incidence of the Obesity-associated comorbidities. Our research group demonstrated that Passiflora tenuifila, a native passion fru…
Orange (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck) is one of the most consumed fruits worldwide, and its regular consumption is associated with a reduction in the risk of the occurrence of several non-transmissible chronic diseases. Such properties are due to the presence of flavanones, mainly hesperidin and narirutin, and the intestinal microbiota plays a fundamental role in the metabolization of these…
Orange (Citrus osbeck) and orange juice is considered a good dietary source of several bioactive compounds, mainly fiber, vitamina C and phenolic compounds. Hesperidin and narirutin are the major citrus flavanones and has been correlated with several biological activity, presenting high antioxidante capacity, anti-inflammatory activity, and also modulating the lipid and glycidic metaboli…
Orange (Citrus sinensis) is one of the most consumed fruit in the Brazilian diet and rich in phenolic compounds, manily flavonoids. However, the mechanisms responsible for the beneficial health effects resulting from its intake are still scarce due to the study models, which do not allow the broad evaluation of the biochemical response in a complex organism. The metabolomic and proteomic …

The insertion of fruits from native species in the market can enhance the socio-economic development of the region, in addition to valuing Brazilian biodiversity. Native passion fruit is rich in bioactive compounds associated with reducing the incidence of obesity-associated comorbidities. Our research group demonstrated that fruits of P. tenuifila, passion fruit native to the Brazilian C…
