His research mainly focus on the following topics:
- improving the understanding of grape and wine chemistry, with
focus on the phenolic compounds involved in white wine oxidation
and red wine astringency;
- study on relationship between chemistry and sensory evaluation of
wine and beverages;
- development of rapid analytical techniques using infrared
spectroscopy and electronic nose for quality control and
authenticity of wines and beverages;
- targeted and non-targeted analysis of wines by liquid
chromatography (HPLC, IC), capillary electrophoresis (CE), gas
chromatography (GC), infrared spectrospcopy (IR);
- use of univariate and multivariate data modeling to disclosure
the effect of selected experimental variables on wine
quality;
- investigation on the shelf-life of wine: strategy for improving
the shelf-life, identification of markers, and models of
prediction;
- valorization of byproducts and waste from winemaking.
