Sustainable Production Technology in Food

José Manuel Lorenzo is Head of Research at the Meat Technology Centre of Galicia, Ourense, Spain. His research focuses on development of new product, processes, and food packaging. He has more than 300 publications and more than 4000 citations. He is an associate editor of the Food Research International, Journal of the Science Food and Agriculture, Food Analytical Methods, and Canadian Journal of Animal Science. Currently, he is directly involved in the: 1) Animal production; 2) Study of natural compounds as food ingredients; 3) Understanding physicochemical, biochemical, sensorial, and microbial changes during the technological processes applied to meat products; and 4) Development of new and healthier meat food products. Paulo Eduardo Sichetti Munekata is a postdoctoral researcher (Juan de la Cierva – formación scholarship) at the Meat Technology Centre of Galicia (CTC), Ourense, Spain. He is the author of 129 scientific articles in well-recognized peer-reviewed international journals, 27 book chapters in international publishers, 40 communications to national and international congresses. Currently, he is directly involved in projects aiming to: 1) Characterize natural compounds with antioxidant activity; 2) Develop healthier food products (particularly meat products) using natural compounds (specially antioxidants); 3) Study the effect of natural and active ingredients in the technological properties of food products. Francisco J. Barba, PhD, is working as a Professor in the Nutrition and Food Science area in the Department of Preventive Medicine and Public Health, Food Science, Toxicology and Forensic Medicine, Faculty of Pharmacy and Food Sciences, University of Valencia, Spain. Dr. Barba earned his PhD in Food Technology and master’s degree in Dietetics and Dietotherapy from the University of Valencia. His areas of interest include edible and bioactive packaging, novel and emerging techniques in food and bio-engineering, thermal and non-thermal technologies, bioactive compounds, essential oils, spectroscopy and analytical techniques, phytochemistry of medicinal and aromatic plants, and sustainable processing. He has published more than 441 research papers and review articles, 12 books and 84 book chapters on different aspects of food and nutritional science and food packaging. Dr. Barba is a co-inventor of two patents and the editor-in-chief or editor of several reputed journals such as Food Research International, Innovative Food Science and Emerging Technologies, Journal of Food Composition and Analysis, Applied Food Research, among others.
