Project description

This research investigates fundamental and practical aspects of protein oxidation in foodstuffs. Both safety, nutritional and sensorial quality of foodstuffs will be evaluated as a function of different treatments and storage. Analytical techniques will be developed and/or combined in order to monitor these phenomena. Protein oxidation will be studied in several model systems and foodstuffs.
