Sandra Pedisić is a researcher at the Faculty of Food Technology and Biotechnology, University of Zagreb - the Centre for Food Technology and Biotechnology in Zadar, Croatia. Her research focuses on the extraction, characterization, stabilization, and application of bioactive compounds from marine macroalgae, fruits, vegetables, honey, and agri-food by-products. Her scientific interests include novel and green extraction technologies, particularly ultrasound-assisted, microwave-assisted, and pressurized liquid extraction , as well as microencapsulation and the development of functional ingredients. Her research involves the identification and characterization of phenolic compounds, phlorotannins, carotenoids, pigments, polysaccharides, and other valuable bioactive constituents, along with the evaluation of their antioxidant properties and biological activities. She is particularly interested in sustainable processing strategies, the valorization of marine and agri-food biomass, honey characterization, encapsulation systems for improving the stability and bioaccessibility of bioactive compounds, and their applications in functional foods and nutraceuticals.
