Research lines:
  • Food quality and safety.Microbiological control of food. Traceability systems and HACCP. Analyses of pollutants through liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry: study of extraction techniques, development of analytical methods, interpretation of analytical data by means of chemometric techniques.
  • Study of extracts and/or bioactive compounds of food origin.Functionality and bioavailability tests in cell cultures and in vitro. Metabolomic analysis (LC-MS) and interpretation of results (Foodomics),characterisation of bioactive compounds, evaluation of stability in matrices, bioavailability in vitro of bioactive compounds.
  • New products development in the agri-food industry.Design and adaptation of new food products from traditional foodstuffs, food enrichment/fortification, evaluation of the nutritional composition of food products and its improvement, study of new materials, study of stability.
  • Clinical studies.Nutritional assessment/intervention: Study of the functionality of bioactive compounds in patients with certain pathologies and/or treatments; retrospective and prospective population studies. Design and development of food products targeted to selected population groups.
  • Information and communications technology (ICT).Design of tools based on ICT in the teaching, welfare and healthcare fields.
  • Assessment of anthropometric, nutritional and ergogenic aids in sport.Assessment of the body composition, the nutritional status and the effectiveness of substances that increase sports performance. Assessment and development of products aimed at ergogenic aid and high competition.
