Main lines of research
A. Study of food bioactive compounds (polyphenols, carotenoids and vitamins).
• Polyphenols, carotenoids and vitamins in food, intrinsic and extrinsic factors that modify the presence therefore. Influence of cultural factors, technology, processing and storage in the levels of these compounds.
• The matrix effect on the bioavailability of such compounds.
B. Nutritional studies of bioactive compounds: clini- cal trials and epidemiological studies.
• The relationship between the consumption of bioactive compounds in the prevention and re- duction of chronic diseases.
• Bioavailability and Bioaccessibility tests, effect of food matrix on the absorption and efficacy of such compounds.
• Studies of nutritional biomarkers.
• Nutrikinetics and pharmacokinetics analysis. Effect of consumption of polyphenols and other bioactive compounds in primary prevention and obesity (PREDIMED and PREDIMEDPLUS).
