Lipid Oxidation in Food and Biological Systems

?Carlos Bravo-Díaz is a Full Professor of Physical Chemistry at the University of Vigo, Spain, and Honorary Professor at the Marie-Curie Sklodowska University (Lubin, Poland). His main research is focused on developing methods to model chemical reactivity in colloidal systems by employing chemical probes. Specifically, his research group analyses the effects of macromolecular, self-assembly and colloidal systems on chemical reactivity, and apply this knowledge to get chemical information about the aggregates and reactant distributions. He has been recently working on lipid oxidation reactions and, mainly, on its control by antioxidants, developing a unique – up to date - chemical kinetic method to determine antioxidant distributions and their interfacial concentrations in intact oil-in-water emulsions, in collaboration with Professor L. S. Romsted at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey (New Jersey, USA).
