The main area of research is the development of integrated and sustainable processes involving green solvents (sub- and supercritical fluids) with a special focus on the valorisation of agro-food residues.
Research interests and expertise include recovery of added-value compounds from agro-industrial by-products (e.g. grape and olive pomaces, cork, spent coffee grounds) using supercritical CO2 and/or subcritical water in integrated extraction/(bio)transformation/separation processes, at lab or pilot scale.
