Research Interest: Functional ingredients in Food Phytochemistry, such as the polyphenol, anthocyanin, lycopene, and resveratrol, has presented the antioxidant and many other biologic activities. The enrichment, functionality and application of the anthocyanin and lycopene have been our focus for more than twenty years.New technologies in Food. Application of new technologies will give a solution for current problem in food. We have focus on the ultra high pressure treatment in the pork and vegetable. The quality and shelf life of the product were changed. The proper parameter of the high pressure treatment will be a key to enhance the quality of the food. Energy saving technology in food processing. Drying is a traditional technology for a long time. Energy saving and better quality are the two main melodies in the drying technology. The combination of heat pump and some other technology will give a way for the better efficiency and better quality of products.

Research Interest: The Functions of food components. Molecular mechanisms underlying the function of food components. The theory and method of extraction and separation for food components.

I received a BSc in enology and a Ph.D. in microbiology from the University of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro (UTAD). I am an Assistant Professor at UTAD and a Chemistry Research Centre – Vila Real member. I have Published 80 articles in international scientific journals, seven technical papers, 12 book chapters, and 85 publications in conference proceedings. Supervised Ph.D. and master's thesis besides having supervised works of completion for Bach. / Degree in the field of Biological Sciences. I received two awards. I am currently involved in three research projects, and my lines of research are linked with studies on volatile acidity bio-reduction in wines, wine microbiology, and food and wine sensory evaluation. In my professional activities, I have interacted with more than 110 researchers in co-authorships of scientific papers. I am an active reviewer for Food Research International, Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Food Chemistry International, Journal of Gastronomy and Food Science, and MDPI Journals (Foods, Fermentation, Beverages, Molecules, International Journal of Molecular Sciences and Materials); Academic Editor of Asian Research Journal of Agriculture, International Journal of Environment and Climate Change, and the Insights in Organic & Inorganic Chemistry Journal and Editorial Board Member of Journal of Agriculture and Crops and Fermentation (MDPI)

 Research Interest: wine microbiology; volatile acidity bio-reduction; wines bio-dealcoholisation; food sensory evaluation; wine sensory evaluation.
