Her research areas involve the assessment, isolation and characterization of antioxidants from fruits and plant extracts. The plant material under study is indigenous to Oaxaca and Mexico and contributes to the chemical and functional knowledge of biodiversity. Another field of knowledge that she has developed has been the organic synthesis of heterocyclic compounds derived from quinoxalines, organic molecules with potential antioxidant and antimicrobial activity. Her synthesis proposal for obtaining these compounds is novel and versatile. Quantification of the antioxidant properties of the isolated metabolites, extracts or synthetic products of spectroscopic methods has been carried out. The employed methods are DPPH radical, ABTS, FRAP, and chelation.
