Researcher Activities

 

Biochemical characterization and nutrional and healthy properties of officinal herbs, spices, genetic vegetal resources of the mediterranean area (collaboration with CNR, UniSA, UniMol);

Study of the antimicrobial, anti-biofilm and prebiotic properties of food, vegetal extracts and essential oils (coll with UniSa, UniMol, Turkey, Mexico);

Evaluation of the prebiotic properties of polyphenols, oils, mixtures of carbohydrates (coll. with CNR, UniSa, UniMol);

Study of the physiological and biochemical control and on microbial safety of vegetables for biorigenerative systems, as support for the life in the space (coll. with CNR-IRET);
