SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH ACTIVITY

How technological treatments affect food microstructure and water bioavailability.

I study these characteristics by observing water location in microstructures and water interaction with biopolymers, by means of Time Domain Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (TD-NMR). Examples can be found in Cropotova 2016, Dellarosa 2016, Mauro 2016, Balestra 2015, Iaccheri 2015

How technological treatments influence food biology and, from that, its shelf life and its appreciation by the consumers.

I face these issues by studying food water extracts metabolome, which is the ensemble of little organic molecules, by means of high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR). I currently have direct experience on wine, meat and fruit extracts. Examples can be found in Marcolini 2015, Bordoni 2011, Ercolini 2011

How diseases and diet influence human and animal inflammatory status and gut microbiota.

I face these issues by studying bio-fluids metabolome, which is the ensemble of little organic molecules, by means of high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR). I currently have direct experience on urine, faeces, saliva, cerebrospinal fluid and blood serum. Exampls can be found in De Filippis 2015, Vitali 2015, Carnevali 2014, Laghi 2014
