Graduated in Food Engineering and Master and Ph.D. in Food Engineering Sciences from the University of São Paulo (FZEA/USP). Between 2011 and 2021 she was part of several researches at the Laboratory of Encapsulation and Functional Foods (LenAlis), under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Samantha Cristina de Pinho. From 2012 to 2014 she carried out scientific initiation research which aimed to studying the microencapsulation of beta-carotene in solid lipid particles, funded by the Sao Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP). Between 2013 and 2014 she developed an extracurricular research at the University of California (UC-Davis) in the Academic Merit Scholarship Program from USP. From 2015 to 2021 developed her master's and Ph.D. projects, both funded by FAPESP, focused in the development and characterization of mixed biopolymer gels filled with solid lipid particles, as well as the study of microencapsulation of different bioactives (curcumin and beta-carotene) in such systems . In 2016 she developed a research regarding the rheological characterization and mathematical modeling of emulsion filled gels produced with mixtures of soy protein isolate and polysaccharides, at Purdue University, under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Osvaldo H. Campanella, with financial support of FAPESP. Between 2021 and 2023, she was the responsible researcher of a PIPE-FASE I project, associated to the company Yosen Nanotechnology, with a PE3 grant from Fapesp. Currently developing a post-doctoral project financed by Fapesp at FCA - Unicamp, in the area of extraction, separation, analysis and application of phenolic compounds obtained from agro-industry waste.

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an antioxidant compound produced by the human body, which has fundamental activities in several biochemical processes, including cellular respiration. The body's ability to produce this substance, however, is reduced with aging, requiring a regular intake of CoQ10 through supplements or fortified foods. Although the behavior of CoQ10 in supplements is well known, t…
This research project aims to evaluate the extraction, separation and bidimensionalanalysis of phenolic compounds from agro-industry residues with antimicrobialpotential against Staphylococcus aureus for application in curatives. Initially, fastanalysis methods will be developed for the identification and quantification by ultrahigh pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC) of the compounds …
Soy protein isolate (IPS) is an interesting ingredient for the food industry due to its nutritional characteristics, low production cost and many functional properties, including the ability to form gels under cold-set conditions. Cold-set gelation methods have been extensively investigated, as they allow the incorporation of thermosensitive compounds in food products and also reduce the …
Nowadays the concern of the food industry to develop healthier products and sensuously pleasant is growing, as the consumer market is increasingly demanding. In this context, a very explored alternative is the incorporation of bioactive, such as curcumin, products. Curcumin is a hydrophobic polyphenol nutritionally interesting by having antioxidant properties, anti-microbial, anti-inflamm…

The interest of the food industry in the application of compounds with bioactive properties, such as the curcumin, can be justified by the tendency of the consumers to prefer healthy foods with a high sensory quality. Although its interesting characteristics, curcumin is not widely applied in food products due to its hydrophobicity and high instability in many food processing conditions. …
