My current research focuses on the toxicity mechanism of xenobiotics and their interactions with functional food components or with other toxicants using in vitro and in vivo models. Previously I have also worked on the identification and characterization of functional properties of food components such as phenolic compounds. In addition, my past research involved bioconversion of natural materials using microorganism or enzymes to improve the bioavailability and/or the amount of active compounds in foods.
