The research group has been studying the nutritional quality of food and the content of bioactive compounds in plant-based food for years.

The effect of preservation technologies on these foods is evaluated, as well as the evolution of these compounds during storage. The menus offered in collective catering in schools and institutions for the elderly are also evaluated. Finally, the nutritional status of certain groups is assessed.
