The issues of my previous and current scientific interests include the following thematic groups:
  • obtaining and characteristic of biologically active components of plant origin (e.g. tea Camellia sinensis, stevia Stevia rebaudiana, chokeberry fruits Aronia melanocarpa);
  • antiradical potential analysis of plant origin components and food products;
  • antioxidative activity of plant origin components in model lipid systems: bulk oil and emulsion;
  • lipids oxidative stability and application of new antioxidants sources in its oxidation process inhibition;
  • food design - recipe and production technology development of food enriched with plants components exhibiting specified and targeted activity and health promoting value;
  • functional food market and its application in diet therapy possibilities, as well as diet and lifestyle influence on the consumer's health;
  • food safety requirements - gastronomy facilities design and food safety control systems implementation.
