Valorization of Wastes/By-Products in the Design of Functional Foods/Supplements

Esra Capanoglu is a Professor at the Istanbul Technical University (ITU), Food Engineering Department in Turkey. Prof. Capanoglu obtained her Ph.D. in 2008 at ITU and subsequently worked as a postdoctoral researcher at RWTH Aachen University in Germany for two years. During her Ph.D., she worked in the laboratories of Plant Research International in the Netherlands for six months and at the IPK Leibniz Institute, Gatersleben, Germany, for another six months with a DAAD scholarship. Prof. Capanoglu’s research focuses on antioxidants and phenolic compounds in foods and their in vitro bioaccessibility and bioavailability. She also studies the effects of processing, encapsulation, and the matrix on these bioactives. Prof. Capanoglu has published two books, 30 chapters, and more than 180 articles in peer-reviewed journals and has taken part in several international and national projects. She currently serves as an Associate Editor at ACS Omega and an Editorial Advisory Board Member for the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, the Journal of Berry Research, and the Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry, among others. María D. Navarro-Hortal is PhD in Human Nutrition and Food Technology by the University of Granada, Spain. During the PhD, she has been working in the evaluation of foods and food by-products on aging and age-related diseases using the experimental model Caenorhabditis elegans. In that period, she did a three-month international internship in the Bioenergetic Lab on Marche Polytechnic University in Ancona, Italy. Furthermore, she developed teaching in the physiology department of the University of Granada. She has published more than 25 articles in peer-reviewed journals and several book chapters and has participated in numerous research conferences. The current research line addresses aging and associated diseases (cancer, neurodegenerative, cardiovascular) in relation to the role of diet, redox biology and mitochondria. Tamara Yuliett Forbes-Hernández works in theDepartment of Physiology at the Institute of Nutrition and Food Technology "José Mataix Verdú," Biomedical Research Center, University of Granada, Granada, Spain. Maurizio Battino (M)-is Full Professor in Nutrition & Dietetics (MED49) at Università Politecnica delle Marche, Ancona, Italy and Guest Professor at Jiangsu University, Zhengjiang, China; he is Director of 2 Research Centers (Univ Europea del Atlantico, Santander, Spain and Univ Internacional Iberoamericana, Campeche, Mexico) and he also was Distinguished and Honorary Professor at Univ of Vigo, Spain (2018-2020). He has more than 30 years of experience in bioenergetics, nutritional biochemistry and food research with special emphasis on the role of natural antioxidants. He has published more than 400 papers with an h-index of 71 and he has been named as a “Highly Cited Researcher” for 8 years in a row (2015-2022).
