Researcher Activities
Francesco Siano was born in Salerno (Italy) on September 8th 1973. He was graduated in Chemistry (five years course) at the University of Salerno (Italy). He obtained his PhD in Earth and Life Sciences (XXVIII cycle) at the University of Sannio (Benevento, Italy), defending a Doctoral Thesis concerning the extraction, characterization and valorization of bioactive molecules in agro-industrial waste. Currently, he is Researcher at the Institute of Food Sciences (Avellino, Italy) of the National Research Council (CNR).
Between June 2001 and June 2005 he has been Research Technician at the Experimental Station for the Industry of the Essential Oils and Citrus Products (SSEA) of Reggio Calabria (Italy), with focus on the chemical characterization of essential oils and flavors. Between June 2005 and February 2009 he has been research technician at the Experimental Station for the Food Preserving Industry (SSICA) of Parma (Italy), involved in the analysis, monitoring and testing of food products as well as packaging, processes and new technologies in food industry.
From March 2009 to July 2022 he has been Research Technician at the Institute of Food Science (Avellino, Italy) of the National Research Council of Italy (CNR). His research activity is focused on the isolation and structural characterization of molecules from food using advanced high performance separation techniques (gas-chromatography and liquid-chromatography), Mass Spectrometry (MS) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. A relevant part of his research activities concerns the development of new methodologies for the characterization of polyphenols and food lipids (fatty acids and sterols) with potential bioactive properties and health-promoting effects.
