Food & function, 8(4), 1627-1640 (2017-03-16)
Two different food grade functionalised porous calcium carbonates (FCC), with different pore size and pore size distributions, were characterised and used as carrier materials to increase the dissolution rate of poorly soluble flavouring compounds in aqueous solution. The loading level

There is no universally accepted and effective prophylaxis of migraine headache episodes. Thus we aimed to investigate the effects of Lippia alba (Mill.) N. E. Brown, an herb with many effects on central nervous system, on pain frequency and intensity

(-)-Carvone is an antinociceptive monoterpene found as the main active constituent of essential oils obtained from plants of the genus Mentha. Here, we have investigated the pharmacology of this monoterpene in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons and TRPV1-expressing HEK293 cells.

Bioresource technology, 121, 290-297 (2012-08-04)
Response surface methodology was applied in optimizing the asymmetric bioreduction of (4S)-(+)-carvone to dihydrocarvone (with low incidence of unsought side reactions) by using whole-cells of Cryptococcus gastricus. A factorial design (2(5)) including five independent variables was performed: X(1)=incubation time; X(2)=pH;

Organic letters, 15(1), 152-155 (2012-12-22)
The synthesis of hydroxyelemane 5 from (R)-carvone and its utilization as a common synthetic scaffold to produce structurally diverse germacrane and guaiane sesquiterpenes are described. A highly enantio- and stereoselective biomimetic tandem oxy-Cope/ene rearrangement was used as the key reaction
