Research interests and PhD project

My PhD project aimed to evaluate the relationship between biological and physiological traits characterizing our oral environment and the intake of food enriched in phenolic compounds. The focus will be on individual differences in taste perception and on the bioaccessibility and bioactivity of these compounds after the releasing from food matrices
