Dr. Amélia Martins Delgado
Researcher at Mediterranean Institute for Agriculture, Environment and Development, University of Algarve, Faro, Portugal. Entrepreneur; European Climate Pact Ambassador
Introduction: Her research deals with sustainable food systems, with an emphasis on food processing. She has been developing research aiming at disclosing the role of bioactive compounds in foods at sensorial and nutritional levels, and the linkage to balanced healthy and sustainable diets, namely the Mediterranean Diet. She has co-authored papers (including a recent top cited paper: percentile 94 in Food Sci & Technol), as well as several books and book chapters (all cited in WoS). She has been performing editorial duties, manuscript and grant reviews, participating in organizing and scientific committees of events, as well as delivering talks and moderating a closed expert’s group related to food system’s transformation. Current H-index: 13.
Research Interests: focused in sustainable innovation in food processing, namely in compliance with the millenary wisdom enclosed in the Mediterranean Diet; at the molecular level she is interested in understanding the interactions between food composition (from nutrients to contaminants), sensorial features, health, and the environment.
