volatile and polyphenolic secondary metabolism, chromatography, mass spectrometry
Working area
Exploration of the dynamics of volatile and non-volatile secondary metabolites (natural products), focusing on the analysis of volatile compounds that contribute to aroma and flavor profiles. This includes the study of complex natural mixtures such as essential oils and the aromas of wines, fruits, honeys, and juices. The research employs advanced chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques for the analysis of both volatile and non-volatile matrices. Additionally, the evolution of polyphenols in honeys, fruits, and wines is investigated to understand their impact on quality and sensory characteristics
