and functional food
Keywords: polyphenols, nutraceutical properties, neurodegenerative diseases, essencial oil, circular economy
Nutraceuticals and foods of interestExtraction and characterization of bioactive compounds from complex systems of agri-food origin; study of antioxidant properties and of neuroprotective and anti-amyloidogenic effects in neurodegenerative processes. The antioxidant action and nutraceutical properties of some polyphenols are studied, extracted from food matrices such as capers, apples and lemon on the processes underlying neurodegenerative diseases. antioxidant properties from vegetable matrices Fields of application food science and technology, food biophysics Facilities and equipments Expertise on: preparation of food-origin samples; extraction of bioactive components such as polyphenols, essential oils and VOCs with liquid-liquid, SPE, HS-SPME methods; use of gas chromatography techniques coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and liquid chromatography with different detectors (HPLC-PDA, HPLC-MS). |
