Research activities

The research activity of Dr. De Giulio has been centered on advanced mass spectrometry methodologies applied to structural characterization of proteins of interest in the field of food sciences as well as to the development and application of innovative molecular profiling strategies for food analysis. More recently, her research activity has been focused on the study of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) using HS-SPME GC-MS, both in the food science and the biomedical area. In the food sector, VOCs profiling strategies have been used to evaluate the quality and traceability of food (fresh, processed and preserved products) and to study the effects of different technological processes undergone by a food. In the clinical area, the volatile profiles obtained from biological fluids of subjects in various physio-pathological states led to identify potential markers useful both for the clinical diagnosis and the monitoring of effects of pharmacological treatments.
