2. Vegetal, food, animal and medical biochemistry: bioactive compounds with impact in life sciences and associated technologies.
3. Food metabolomics: advanced UV-Vis, IR, Raman spectrometry, and chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC-DAD-MS, GC-MS)
4. Food biotechnology: fermentative processes on a vegetable support, enzyme-assisted extraction (biorefining)
5. In vitro test systems of biologically active natural compounds
6. Evaporation, microencapsulation and granular, controlled release in abiotic and biological systems technologies
7. Technologies for obtaining and use of nanobiostructures (nanoparticles, nanoubes, quantum dots, metal complexes with amino acids) with applications in biomedicine |
Presentation
Plant metabolomics: biosynthesis, phytochemicals markers (carotenoids, flavonoids, anthocyanins, polyphenols, phytosterols, lipids functional); extraction, purification and analysis (fingerprint chromatographic and spectrophotometric) of phytochemicals in extracts (dietary supplements, functional foods); test "in vitro" and "in vivo" has antioxidant and cytotoxic action of natural compounds; biotechnological applications of phytochemicals (waste recovery and biconversion).
