Costas G. Biliaderis is an Emeritus Professor in the Department of Food Science and Technology, Faculty of Agriculture, Aristotle University, Thessaloniki, Greece. He received his Bachelor’s degree from Aristotle University (1975), and his M.Sc. (1978) and Ph.D. (1980) degrees from the University of Saskatchewan, Canada. He served as Chairman of the Dept. of Food Science, Faculty of Agriculture, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (2002-06 and 2014-18). He was an Associate Editor of the Journal ‘Bioactive Carbohydrates and Dietary Fiber’ and a current or former member of the editorial board of four scientific journals (Carbohydrate Polymers; Journal of Food Protection; International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition; Journal of Future Foods). His current research interests include the chemistry and physical chemistry of polymeric food carbohydrates (plant and microbial origin), the thermal analysis of food constituents and thermophysical properties of polysaccharide blends, the processing and storage effects on the texture and stability of food products and their constituents, the physical chemistry and properties of food dispersions (o/w) with engineered interfaces, structured delivery systems, functional foods and nutraceuticals (product design and stability issues of food bioactives), as well as valorization of residues-waste from the agricultural and food industries in the context of environmental management and circular economy.
