Short research description: 

Past work: (see published papers)

  • Characterization of carotenoid and chlorophyll composition of fruits and vegetabes Studies on the effect of processing in the quail- and quantitative composition of carotenoids in fruits and vegetable tissues
  • First studies on the effect of high pressure processing on the carotenoid composition. Better stability and enhanced extractabilty
  • Studies on the relationship between tissue microestructure changes due to high pressures and improved extractability of carotenoids
  • Studies of bioaccessibility and bioavailability of carotenoids in plant foods
    Ongoing work:
  • Studies of characterization of carotenoid compounds in several plant tissues of interest.
  • Bioactivity and bioaccessibility of carotenoids in plant tissues submitted to different innovative processing processes.
  • Biovailability studies of carotenoids in food models by dynamic simulated digestion
  • New methods to improve bioaccessibility of carotenoids in foods. Development of stable fuctional nanoemulsions.
