Adriano Gomes da Cruz is professor of Federal Institute of Rio de Janeiro within the department of food. Dr. Cruz’s research focuses on the development of dairy science and technology, with emphasis in probiotic and prebiotic dairy foods development as well as probiotic technology and food quality, microbiology, and safety.
C. Senaka Ranadheera is an academic at the University of Melbourne, Australia. Dr. Ranadheera is completing research on probiotic technology and food quality, microbiology, and safety and completed his PhD on probiotic applications in dairy foods in 2012.
Filomena Nazzaro is senior scientist at the Institute of Food Science, of CNR (CNR-ISA) in Avellino, Italy, where she is also head of the Laboratory of Food Safety and Biotechnology. Dr. Nazzaro’s research is divided among biochemical and biological characterization of vegetables, the study of probiotics and prebiotics, with the application of technologies, such as microencapsulation, to formulate new functional foods. In addition, she studies the antimicrobial activity and quorum quenching by polyphenols/dairy peptides.
Amir Mortazavian is Professor of Dairy Science and Technology in Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences where he researches the development of probiotics and prebiotics dairy foods, with the application of technologies, such as microencapsulation.
