Abstract(s)
Alheira is a smoked meat from the North of Portugal(“Trás-os-Montes”) that has been named as one of the
7 wonders of Portuguese gastronomy, being a true “business card” of Trás-os-Montes and very appreciated in
Portugal and internationally.
Due to the economic importance that Alheira represents for the region of Trás-os-Montes, where more
than 500 tons are produced annually, there is a growing interest in this industry in extending the shelt-life of
Alheira to avoid economic losses and expand the product to new international markets. In this context, this
project aims to develop an active edible coating based on whey proteins, a by-product of the cheese industry,
and to incorporate peptides derived from milk proteins that will act as antimicrobial agents.
Altogether, this project has a high potential with direct financial benefits in the development of a new
product and its consequent appreciation and competitiveness in new markets
