Biography

I am a food scientist with over 20 years of experience, particularly in the fields of Biochemistry, Food Chemistry, and Functional Foods. I began my academic career at the University of Naples where I served as a professor. In 2013, I took on the role of chair of the Food Quality & Design group. As the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Functional Foods since 2017, I have overseen numerous publications and have authored over 500 research articles in indexed journals, which collectively have received more than 20,000 citations, with an h-index of 71. My research primarily focuses on the design of innovative healthy foods, emphasizing the selection of raw materials, processing methods, formulation, and understanding consumer behavior. I am particularly known for my studies on food processing modifications, especially those related to the Maillard Reaction. Additionally, I am involved in various ancillary activities, including coordinating R&D activities for Arterra Bioscience and working with the Food Life Technology platform.
