The laboratory’s research activities include the study of ecosystems and how they can modulate the metabolic phenotype of the resident species (plant, animal and microbial species) with particular interest in the production of secondary metabolites and bioactive molecules such as polyphenols.
Specifically, it involves:
- Extraction of bioactive molecules and/or macromolecules using green methodologies or conventional techniques also from agri-food chain wastes
- Chemical-physical and biochemical characterization of isolated compounds
- Assessment of bioactivity in in-vitro models
- Evaluation of antimicrobial and antibiofilm activity.
Relevant instrumentation
- Soxhlet extracto
