Researcher Activities

The activity of dr. Picariello is focused on the isolation and structural characterization of food molecules and macromolecules by means of advanced high-performance separation techniques (HPLC, electrophoresis) and mass spectrometry (both MALDI and electrospray-based MS). The primary topics of his activity are aimed to study food biomolecules under several aspects: 1.comprehensive identification of food-related proteins (proteomics) and to their effects of foods on human health; 2. proteolytic events in foods e models of the human gastro-intestinal digestion; 3. identification of bioactive peptides and characterization of food allergens; 4. characterization of post-translational (glycosylations and phosphorylations) and process induced modifications of proteins; 5. development of new methodologies in food lipidomics and proteomics; 6. Isolation, characterization and determination of potentially bioactive metabolites in foods.
