Summary
My primary research goals focus on developing modern technologies and methods for production of new types of Nutraceutical/ Sustainable/ Functional Foods by increasing beneficial health benefits, sustainability, food security and food safety by hazard and malnutrition prevention via supplementation, substitution or preservation applying; probiotic bacteria (isolated/ coded), microbial metabolites, vitamins, mineral, plants and plant extracts. The main focus is to enhance general health status maintaining economic and environmental sustainability. To achieve these goals, my program focuses on understanding; food analyses (chemical, microbiological, physical and sensorial), isolation and identification techniques of bacteria and fungi, functional properties assessment (nutritional, antimicrobial and antioxidant), validation tests (In vitro, In vivo, tissue culture), food transformation system, HACCP analyses.
