Dr. Simone Giacosa is a researcher in enology at the
University of Torino, Alba (Italy), one of the partners for M2 studies. Within
the Wine Processing module, Simone lectures on white wines, sparkling wines,
and the reduction of sulfite content in wines. He also contributes to practical
lab work. Simone is an enologist with a PhD in Enology and Food Science. His
research activity focuses on the extraction and preservation strategies of
secondary metabolites during wine production. In addition, he studies the
evaluation and analysis of the phenolic content in wines and winery products,
technological advancement in Enology, and the potential use of ozone in the
winery. Part of his investigation is to evaluate the mechanical properties of
grapes (related to the extraction from solid parts), pomace, and food products.
Dr Giacosa is the author of more than 180 scientific contributions, including
more than 90 indexed (Web of Science/Scopus) peer-reviewed publications in the
Enology and Food Science fields. He also acts as a reviewer for indexed journals
in the Food Science and Technology subject category.
