Marina RussoMarina Russo received her Master Degree in Chemistry and the PhD Degree in Chemistry and Food Security at the University of Messina. She had a postdoc grant to carry out a research activity for chemical characterization of by-products and processing f agro-food industry. Currently, she is Associate Professor in Food Chemistry at University of Messina. Research activity of Marina Russo is primarily focused on the development of analytical methods for characterization of nutraceuticals in functional foods. The main topics of research are: development of HPLC and SFC analytical systems for the characterization of nutraceuticals, chiral and non-chiral oxygen heterocyclic compounds in functional foods; isolation and purification of phytochemicals from by-products and processing of agro-food industry; development of on-line extraction techniques coupled with LC and SFC systems for the simultaneous extraction and analysis of bioactive compounds in vegetables. 54 peer-reviewed publications, and 1160 citations.
