Research Group on Nutrition and Food Science - NUTRALIMEN

Description

Reducing the intake of salt, saturated fats and the intake of bioactive compounds with antioxidant capacity has been shown to have a positive effect on health.

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.

Goals CT
  • Study and assessment of intakes, menus and their application in collective catering.
  • Evaluation of bioactive compounds and antioxidant capacity in wines.
  • Evaluation of bioactive compounds and other nutrients in plant-based food.
  • Evaluation of the application of thermal and non-thermal technologies in food processing.
  • Assessment of the nutritional status of the population.
